Basic House Cleaning

Our Basic Cleaning service covers the routine cleaning needed to keep a home looking and feeling clean.

It includes dusting, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning bathrooms and kitchens, cleaning surfaces, removing cobwebs, and other regular housekeeping tasks.

Basic Cleaning is a good choice if:

  • Your home is already in generally good condition
  • You want recurring house cleaning
  • You need a one-time routine cleaning
  • You’re looking for help keeping up with regular housework

Deep House Cleaning

Our Deep Cleaning includes the Basic Cleaning service with additional time and attention given to buildup and detailed areas throughout your home.

Depending on the surface, this can include washing or wiping baseboards, doors, switch plates, cabinet fronts, moldings, ceiling fan blades, and other areas that typically receive less attention during routine cleaning.

Deep Cleaning is a good choice if:

  • It’s your first professional cleaning
  • Your home hasn’t been thoroughly cleaned recently
  • There is noticeable dust or buildup
  • You want a detailed one-time cleaning
  • You want to start recurring service with a more thorough initial cleaning

Important to Know

Service guidelines and the counties we serve.

The Fine Print

  • We do not climb higher than a 2-step ladder. Higher items will be dusted with an extension duster.
  • We cannot move furniture, but we will try to reach any visible places either by hand or with an extension duster.
  • We cannot guarantee the results of mini-blind cleaning. Excessive buildup may require an additional charge.
  • Please allow for some dust resettlement after we leave; we try to limit the dust in the air but cannot prevent this entirely.
  • Cleaning is by appointment only. If we are unable to gain access to the home or are turned away at the time of cleaning, there is a $50 service fee.
  • We do not provide laundry services.
