What’s included in a standard cleaning?

Standard cleaning takes into account everything that involves cleaning a home or apartment. Cleaning/vacuuming floors, cleaning bathrooms, kitchen, living room, dusting, etc. We do offer extra services like cleaning inside the fridge and inside the oven, and those can be selected on the booking form when you select service. Please note that if you have more than one living room, family room, dining room, or kitchen, these will need to be added as extra rooms. For more information, please see our house cleaning checklist.

What’s the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep clean?

The primary difference between these two types of cleaning is the time the crew spends at your home.

On deep cleanings, the crew spends extra time to ensure that especially dirty areas are properly dusted, mopped, polished, or wiped down.

We recommend that our customers choose the “Deep Cleaning” option any time their home has gone for 60 days or more without a regular cleaning.

What is included in a Move-in/Move-out cleaning?

A Move-in/Move-out cleaning includes the following:

  • Empty home
  • Empty closets
  • Empty fridge
  • Empty oven
  • Empty cabinets

Our Move-in/Move-out package does not include windows.

What if I want a partial cleaning?

If you desire a partial cleaning, please book our custom hourly rates. To estimate the total time required to clean just a portion of your home, please book 1 hour per room. It is helpful if you can meet the cleaner when they arrive, or leave special instructions with your booking so that your cleaner(s) know how to prioritize their time.
