The Biden administration is ready to clean house ahead of Donald Trump’s return to the Oval Office … setting up a pricey cleaning service ahead of the handoff.
According tofederal financial documents obtained … the WH has tapped cleaners to do a deep clean of the West Wing, East Wing, and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next door. The scrub-down will cost a whopping $140,930 … and actually kicked off last month ahead of Thanksgiving.
The White House is also shelling out an additional $46,800 to have the carpets thoroughly cleaned in the aforementioned spaces … noting the cleaning was needed before the 2025 Inauguration.
This isn’t the first time the White House has paid out to tidy up the joint. As reported back in 2020 … the Trump administration issued a similar order before Joe Biden took office in 2021.
However, the cost was noticeably less … with the WH dropping a little over $127,000 for the Inaugural cleaning. That’s more than a $13K difference!!!
So, either the Biden administration was a little tougher on POTUS’ official residence, or inflation is coming into play here.
Trump’s White House also ordered the carpets to be cleaned back in 2020 years … which cost them a little over $44,000 at the time.
Again, we’re seeing an uptick in cost — which was a key issue for voters on Election Day.
Either way, the spruce-up proves politics isn’t always dirty!!!
