What's Included in a Standard House Cleaning? A Room-by-Room Breakdown

“What exactly do you clean?” is one of the most common questions before a first booking, and it deserves a specific answer, not a vague overview. Here's what a standard cleaning visit covers, room by room.

Kitchen

  • Counters, backsplash, and visible surfaces wiped down

  • Sink scrubbed and faucet polished

  • Outside of appliances (fridge, oven, dishwasher, microwave) cleaned

  • Stovetop cleaned

  • Floors vacuumed and mopped

Bathrooms

  • Toilets cleaned and disinfected, inside and out

  • Showers and tubs scrubbed

  • Mirrors and glass cleaned streak-free

  • Counters and sinks wiped and disinfected

  • Floors vacuumed and mopped

Bedrooms

  • Beds made (or linens changed, if requested and provided)

  • Dusting of reachable surfaces — dressers, nightstands, shelves

  • Floors vacuumed or mopped depending on flooring type

  • General tidying

Living Areas

  • Dusting of furniture and reachable decor

  • Floors vacuumed and mopped

  • Surfaces wiped down

  • General straightening

What's Not Included in a Standard Visit

Standard cleaning is maintenance, not restoration. Things like inside-oven scrubbing, baseboards, ceiling fans, and grout detail work fall under deep cleaning instead — which is worth booking periodically even if you're on a regular standard cleaning schedule.

Custom Requests

Every home is a little different, and most companies (us included) can adjust a checklist for specific requests — extra attention to a certain room, skipping an area you handle yourself, or adding something not on the standard list. It's worth mentioning any specifics when you book rather than assuming.

See our full services breakdown, or go straight to booking if you already know what you need.
