House cleaning in Opa-locka.

Storm prep is mostly a cleaning job. Clear the lanai and balcony, vacuum the window and slider tracks so the weep holes still drain, empty and dry the refrigerator, and run every load while the power is on. The Miami-Dade order of operations for the 72 hours before a storm — plus what our Terms say happens to a scheduled visit when weather moves in.

Clean top-down and trap dust in damp microfiber instead of chasing it around: fan blades, vent covers, window sills and tracks, baseboards, floors last. The Miami version — year-round pollen, twelve months of A/C, hurricane-season grit in the tracks — plus the bedroom-first order that gives the most back, and where cleaning stops being the right tool.

Three words any website can type, and three different documents behind them. What a certificate of insurance actually proves, what a bond is and is not, why "licensed" depends on who is asking, and how to check each one before a stranger has your key — plus what JAS publishes: $2,000,000 general liability and background-checked cleaners.
