Cleaning Checklist: FAQs
What is included in a standard clean?
Standard cleaning covers all the essential areas of your home: kitchen (countertops, appliance exteriors, sink, stovetop, cabinet fronts, floor), bathrooms (toilet, sink, tub/shower, mirror, floor), all bedrooms and living areas (dust, vacuum, mop, make beds), and general tasks like emptying trash, wiping light switches, and dusting window sills. It includes the inside of the microwave. It does not include the inside of the oven or refrigerator, cabinet interiors, or grout, baseboards and door frames.
What extra items are in a deep clean?
Deep cleaning adds what standard cleaning doesn't cover: full baseboard scrubbing; inside window glass; light fixtures; grout scrubbing in bathrooms; doors and door frames; vacuuming under and behind furniture; and degreasing the stovetop, hood vent and burners. Cabinets are cleaned on the outside only. Cleaning inside the oven or inside cabinets is an add-on. It catches up on buildup instead of just keeping things tidy.
Do you clean inside appliances?
Move-out cleaning includes the inside of the oven, the refrigerator, the dishwasher and the microwave. Standard and deep cleaning both include the inside of the microwave. With either one, the inside of the oven, the fridge and the dishwasher are add-ons, priced and agreed upon before the appointment.
What is NOT included in cleaning?
Items not included in any service: laundry and folding, dish washing, exterior windows, garage cleaning beyond sweeping the inside of the garage (an add-on), exterior pressure washing, organizing or decluttering, biohazard or hoarding situations, and areas not accessible due to clutter. The add-ons we offer are listed in the answer below.
Can I add extra items to my clean?
Yes. The add-ons are inside oven, inside fridge, inside cabinets (empty), inside cabinets (full), inside dishwasher, interior windows (standard cleans only), detail baseboards and doors (standard cleans only), extra room (basement), sweep inside garage, homes with pets and eco-friendly green products. Add-ons are always discussed and priced before your appointment. We never add scope or charge without your prior agreement.
