Our Apartment, Loft & Home Rentals in Champaign

We offer two different, but related, lifestyle experiences:

Apartments and Lofts
For the micro-urban life-style, we offer a variety of apartment and loft choices with downtown Champaign just outside your doorstep.

Homes, Townhouses, and Flats
Adjacent to and just west of downtown is the Sesquicentennial Neighborhood, the only neighborhood in Champaign officially recognized as being historic. Here we offer a second lifestyle option: quiet, tree-lined streets with picket fences while being a seven-minute stroll to the best martini in town and all that Downtown Champaign has to offer.

If you are interested in our offerings, please take the time to look over this information – it will likely answer many questions you might have.

A Black And Gray Colored Electric Range Top — Champaign, IL — RDI Properties

Cleaning Electric Range Tops

Innovations and technology often progress at a rapid rate. It was not very long ago that glass top kitchen ranges became common. Unless you Googles how to clean them or by slim chance grew up in a home that had one and you were taught by your parents you might not know.
First off they need to be wiped and cleaned every time the range top is used. With the top being a solid surface it is easy to think of it more as a counter top than a cooking surface. Thus you might begin to let slide cleaning after every single use. But this can quickly result in the building up baked on residues to a point that the top cannot be cleaned.
We see this often as landlords during the turning of rental properties. It always results in the outgoing tenant being surprised by an unexpected charge against their security deposit.

Here are a few helpful hints -

A Glass Being Clean With A Wiper Tool — Champaign, IL — RDI Properties

Cleaning Glass Shower Doors

One area that often costs our tenants deductions from their security deposits are showers and ESPECIALLY shower doors. All water has some amount of minerals suspended in it. Left to dry on the glass of the shower door they build up. Over time this can become a real problem and requires a lot of work to get off.

The following Youtube video is a good primary on cleaning these doors. As  the video suggests doing it routinely is the best approach. https://www.bhg.com/homekeeping/house-cleaning/surface/how-to-clean-shower-doors/
