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

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.
