Well, I am a real estate agent, and I work with a lot of bank-owned homes. On those, we have to get them clean before they go on the market. It only takes a few days, and we're very happy with the job Portland Metro Cleaning Company does on the carpets and appliances. Most of the time, the houses are winterized, which means they don't have running water at the moment. Portland Metro Cleaning is willing to bring it. I'm very happy with them.
