🎃 Halloween in Austin: Cobwebs, Candy, and Real-Life Chaos
Halloween hits different in Austin. Between the porch setups in Bouldin Creek, the family trick-or-treat routes through Barton Hills, and the house parties that go till 2AM somewhere off South Lamar, the whole city goes a little wild for a week.
But once the decorations come down, reality sets in. There’s glitter in the grout. Candy wrappers under the couch. Pumpkin guts baked onto the counter. And that fake cobweb you hung on your light fixture? Yeah, that one’s staying until Christmas unless someone takes it down for you.
We’ve been deep in Halloween mode all week — helping clients get ready for hosting, then coming back through after the dust (and sugar) settles.
What We’ve Been Cleaning Up This Week
– Melted candle wax on dining tables
– Muddy footprints from trick-or-treaters
– Drink spills and sticky floors from house parties
– Fake spider webs that refuse to die
– Pumpkin seeds everywhere — even in the sink somehow
One Barton Hills client told us, “We spent half the next day just trying to find where the candy trail ended.”
That’s where a good post-party clean saves the weekend. You can enjoy the chaos, host the crew, let the kids go nuts — and still start the next week without your home feeling like a haunted house.
Halloween’s one of those holidays that sneaks up on your house. The decorations look great until they don’t. The candy bowl empties, but somehow the wrappers multiply. And before you know it, you’re wondering how fake blood ended up on your tile.
That’s why we’re running one-time and recurring cleans all across South and East Austin right now. We handle the aftermath so you can actually enjoy the fun parts of spooky season — not just the cleanup that comes after.
So keep the porch lights glowing, enjoy the candy, and don’t stress the mess. We’ll bring your house back from the (almost) dead.
