House Cleaning Details
What a Regular Cleaning Covers
- Vacuum all floors, including stairs.
- Mop all hard surfaces. In kitchens and bathrooms, we get on our hands and knees to reach the edges of the floor.
- Clean kitchen countertops, the stovetop and hood, the front of the oven, the microwave inside and out, sinks, the front of the refrigerator, the dining-room table, the front of the dishwasher, the toaster, and the coffee maker.
- Clean bathroom showers and tubs, toilets, sinks, and floors.
- Dust all rooms, including lamps, picture frames, and under and around items as thoroughly as possible. The amount we can safely move or clean around depends on how fragile the items are and how crowded the surface is.
- Clean glass mirrors, tables, and doors. Exterior glass is cleaned when weather conditions allow.
- Remove garbage and replace trash bags in every room. We provide liners for small trash bins; clients are kindly asked to provide kitchen-size garbage bags.

Cleaning Equipment and Supplies We Provide
- Shark Professional Vacuums: We feel these are among the best vacuums on the market. Our vacuums are thoroughly cleaned each week, including changing the filters and taking the units apart for cleaning.
- Microfiber Cloths: These cloths are scratch-free, lint-free, absorbent, and effective on many surfaces. We use designated cloths for glass and separate cloths for stainless-steel kitchen appliances.
- Bona Mops and Hands-and-Knees Mopping: We bring our own buckets and use either Murphy Oil Soap or Mr. Clean Antibacterial Cleaner, depending on the flooring. In kitchens and bathrooms, we get on our hands and knees to clean along the floor edges. Mop heads are changed after every home.
- Swiffer Duster 360: We use this for dusting, along with a damp microfiber cloth for sticky areas on coffee tables and nightstands. We do not use dusting spray. Wood oil may be used when requested and appropriate for the surface.
- Garbage Supplies: We collect garbage from every room and provide liners for small trash bins. Clients are kindly asked to provide kitchen-size garbage bags.
- Steam Mops: Steam mops use high heat to loosen dirt and grease and can reduce the need for chemical cleaners. When appropriate for the flooring, they may be used on sealed hard surfaces such as tile, vinyl, laminate, and sealed hardwood, as well as some grout lines and bathroom or kitchen surfaces. We follow surface and manufacturer guidance before using steam.
Flexible Scheduling
Cleaning needs are different for every household. Service may be scheduled weekly, every other week, monthly, seasonally, or as availability allows. The size of your home, number of occupants, pets, flooring, lifestyle, and preferred level of detail all help determine the best plan.
