Have you ever stared at a stubborn stain that simply refuses to leave? Maybe it’s that coffee spot on your countertop, the mystery mark on your wall, or the dark shadows on your grout that remind you of how long it’s been since your last deep clean.

If so… you’re not alone.
At Erika’s Cleaning Services, we’ve walked into hundreds of homes where homeowners felt frustrated, embarrassed, or simply exhausted from trying to scrub away stains that looked “permanent.” But the truth is—most stains aren’t permanent… you just need the right method (and sometimes, the right team).

Today, we’re sharing the same strategies our professional cleaners use to tackle the most stubborn stains on the most common household surfaces. And by the end, you’ll know exactly how to deal with them—and when it’s time to call in the pros.

1. Grease Stains on Kitchen Counters

Grease is sneaky. One day your kitchen looks spotless… the next, there’s a sticky film that won’t budge.

What works:

• Mix warm water + dish soap + a few drops of white vinegar
  
• Apply with a microfiber cloth
  
• Rinse and repeat until the surface feels clean
  

When to call us:
If your counters feel oily no matter what you do, it may be time for a professional kitchen deep cleaning to cut through buildup safely and quickly.

2. Hard Water Spots on Fixtures

Those white, cloudy spots on your faucets? Totally normal—especially in areas with mineral-heavy water.

Try this:

• Soak a towel in a 1:1 vinegar/water solution
  
• Wrap it around the fixture for 10–15 minutes
  
• Wipe clean and dry
  

Pro tip:
If your faucets are starting to lose their shine, our team can polish them back to a mirror-like finish during your regular cleaning.

3. Soap Scum on Shower Doors

Soap scum is one of the most common reasons clients call us. It builds up fast and can make an otherwise clean bathroom look dull.

DIY solution:

• Use a baking soda paste (baking soda + water)
  
• Scrub with a non-scratch sponge
  
• Rinse well
  

But when the glass still looks cloudy?
That’s when our deep bathroom cleaning transforms everything—especially the shower.

4. Stains on Walls (Crayons, Scuffs, Mystery Marks)

Kids, pets, furniture… walls go through a lot.

Quick fix:

• Use a damp magic eraser for most marks
  
• Always test in a small area first
  

If paint starts to look worn:
Our cleaners gently wash walls without damaging paint—something homeowners often struggle with.

5. Grout Discoloration

Grout is one of the hardest areas to keep clean and one of the most dramatic areas we restore.

Easy approach:

• Apply hydrogen peroxide
  
• Sprinkle baking soda on top
  
• Scrub with a grout brush
  

Deep discoloration?
That’s our specialty. Clients often tell us:

“I didn’t know my grout was supposed to be that color!”
