Cleaning Checklist

What's Included in Every Cleaning

Q: What's the difference between a standard clean and a deep clean?

A deep clean includes everything in a standard clean, plus detail work a routine visit skips: doors and door frames, baseboards, windowsills and window frames, oven hood vents, cabinet exteriors, and shower grout scrubbing.

Q: What does move in/out cleaning include that deep cleaning doesn't?

Move in/out cleaning is built for empty homes: it adds inside cabinets, drawers, closets, and pantry shelves to the deep-clean scope, so the home is ready for new occupants.

No guessing, no surprises. Compare exactly what our crews cover in a Standard Clean, a Deep Clean, and a Move In/Out Clean — room by room, task by task.
