Preparing your home for a house cleaner can help ensure that the cleaning process is as efficient and effective as possible. Because different types of cleaning services have varying levels of intensity and scope, it is important to understand what can be expected from each so you can choose the service that best fits your needs. Below are the expectations for Basic, Deep Cleaning, and Move In/Move Out cleaning services.

Basic Cleaning (Standard Service)

A basic cleaning service is a routine cleaning that is designed to maintain the cleanliness of your home. It typically includes tasks such as dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and cleaning surfaces such as countertops and sinks. This type of cleaning is ideal for those who want to keep their home clean on a regular basis and do not require deep cleaning.

What to Expect:

A thorough cleaning of the visible areas in your home, including dusting, vacuuming, and surface cleaning.

What Not To Expect:

A deep or time-intensive cleaning, cleaning of interior windows. Basic cleanings are for maintenance.

While some light trash removal may be included as part of the cleaning service, such as emptying small wastebaskets, it’s important to communicate with the cleaning service provider in advance to ensure that your specific trash removal needs are addressed.

If you have large items or piles of trash that need to be removed, it’s best to contact a specialized waste removal service that can handle these types of items safely and efficiently
