Deep Cleanings

A Regular Cleaning is designed for ongoing maintenance to keep your home fresh, tidy, and consistently clean. It focuses on high-traffic areas, surface wiping, dusting, vacuuming, and sanitizing bathrooms and kitchens on a recurring schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly).

A Deep Cleaning goes far beyond surface-level care. It targets built-up grime, soap scum, grease, and dust in hard-to-reach or frequently overlooked areas. This includes cleaning baseboards, door frames, light switches, cabinet exteriors, inside microwave/appliances (upon request), and detailed scrub-downs of tile grout and bath fixtures. We usually recommend a Deep Cleaning for first-time clients before starting a recurring regular service.

You don’t need to clean before we clean! However, a little preparation helps us spend maximum time actually cleaning rather than organizing:

• De-clutter Surfaces: Please clear personal items, clothing, toys, dishes, and paperwork from floors, countertops, and furniture.
• Secure Valuables & Sensitive Documents: Put away important paperwork, cash, delicate heirlooms, or jewelry.
• Provide Entry Instructions: Let us know in advance how to access your home (alarm codes, key pickup, or if someone will be at home to let us in).

We choose a cleaner for each surface. Our usual products are:

• Neutral-pH floor cleaner: Helps clean finished floors without using an overly harsh formula.
• Non-abrasive kitchen-surface cleaner: Works on countertops, appliance exteriors, cabinet fronts, and other surfaces that can scratch easily.
• Bathroom cleaner: Helps remove soap residue and buildup from tubs, showers, sinks, fixtures, and nearby tile.
• Glass cleaner: Used for mirrors and accessible glass surfaces to reduce streaks.

We select products based on the material, finish, and condition of each surface. We also follow the product label and use appropriate ventilation and precautions during service. Product availability may vary by appointment.

If you prefer an unscented cleaner or need a specific hardwood-floor product, provide it before the appointment. We’ll use the products you supply. Tell us before the appointment which products you want us to use, and we’ll confirm whether they’re suitable for the surface. Disinfect, sanitize, and clean are our goals.

Yes. We use pet-safe, non-toxic cleaning agents.

Please tell us about your pets before the appointment. Include any allergies, sensitivities, anxiety, protective behavior, or areas they should avoid. This helps us plan the visit and follow your instructions.

Before we arrive, put away pet food, treats, and medication. Move food and water bowls to a clean area so we can clean around them. Pick up toys, bedding, and other items you want kept dry or untouched. If a litter box, cage, aquarium, or pet bed needs special handling, mention it when you schedule the service.

If your pet is anxious or protective, please keep them in a designated room or crate while we work. Please do the same for pets that might escape through an open door. A familiar space can help reduce stress during the visit. Keep doors and gates secured, and let us know which rooms should remain closed.

We can clean floors, pet areas, and other surfaces where hair or tracked-in dirt collects. We pay extra attention to corners, entryways, stairs, and areas beneath accessible furniture. Tell us if you want a particular room prioritized or if pet hair has built up on upholstery, rugs, or baseboards.

We will keep cleaning products and tools with us while we work and remove them before leaving. Allow cleaned floors and surfaces to dry before letting pets return to the area. If you need a special accommodation, tell us when you book the service so we can discuss the safest arrangement.

Yes. We wipe down surfaces, clean play areas, and take our supplies and tools when we leave. We make sure floors are dry and safe to walk on. We use products according to their labels and follow required ventilation and handling procedures.
