Monthly Cleaning in Midlothian, TX

Midlothian spreads along US Highway 67 in the northern part of Ellis County, and the cement and steel plants on its edges have been the town's industrial backbone for generations. Residentially it is mostly recent: Lawson Farms, Heritage Park, Mockingbird Hills and Shiloh Forest are planned communities of houses built in the last twenty to twenty-five years, on wider lots than the equivalent development further north because land here was cheaper for longer.

The industrial neighbours are a real factor in the cleaning. Cement dust and the fine grit that comes off the surrounding quarry and haul routes travel further than people expect, so window sills, ceiling fans, blinds and the tops of cabinets pick up more than they would in a sealed-in suburb. Recurring visits here earn their keep by staying ahead of that rather than catching up with it. The houses themselves are modern and straightforward, usually two-storey with open living areas, so the time goes where the dust actually lands.
