Athens is known for its timeless neighborhoods and beautiful historic houses. But house cleaning historic Athens homes requires more than standard products—it demands care that protects delicate materials while keeping families safe.
At Pure Sweep Cleaners, we specialize in mindful, non-toxic cleaning that protects your historic home and everyone inside it. Our handcrafted products are pH-neutral (exactly a 7), making them safe for every surface—from quartz counters to antique wood finishes—without leaving behind residues or toxins.
Why House Cleaning in Historic Athens Requires Gentle Care
Unlike modern construction, historic homes are often built with natural, porous, and delicate materials that react poorly to today’s conventional cleaners.
Wood Floors & Trim: Strong detergents can strip protective oils, cause fading, or lead to warping.
Stone & Tile: Acidic or alkaline cleaners can etch marble, discolor limestone, or dull antique ceramic finishes.
Antique Fixtures: Brass, copper, and nickel fixtures patinate over decades — harsh scrubbing can strip away that character.
Plaster & Painted Walls: Many older paints and plasters are softer and need neutral, non-reactive solutions.
💡 Educational insight: Most commercial “all-purpose” cleaners are either acidic (<7 pH) or alkaline (>7 pH). Both can cause micro-damage over time. That’s why professional conservators and museums rely on pH-neutral (exactly 7) cleaning solutions to care for historic materials.
Why pH-Neutral, Non-Toxic Cleaning Is Essential
At Pure Sweep Cleaners, we designed our handcrafted cleaning products to be exactly pH 7 — perfectly balanced, neither acidic nor alkaline. This makes them:
Safe for antique wood, stone, and metal finishes.
Non-toxic for children, pets, and the air inside your home.
Residue-free, preventing buildup that can attract dust or moisture.
This matters not just for preservation, but for wellness. Families living in historic Athens homes deserve spaces that feel clean, fresh, and safe — without introducing hidden toxins or allergens.
