How often should a house be professionally cleaned?

Most households book every two weeks. Weekly makes sense for larger homes, families with young kids, or households with shedding pets. Smaller homes with one or two adults often do well on a monthly clean with a deep clean twice a year.

What is the difference between standard house cleaning and deep cleaning?

Standard cleaning maintains what's already in reasonable condition — surfaces, floors, bathrooms and kitchen. Deep cleaning adds built-up grime: inside appliances, grout, behind and under furniture, vents, door frames and detailed edge work. First-time clients with no recent professional cleaning usually start with a deep clean.

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

No. Many clients give us a code, lockbox or key instructions. We confirm arrival windows in advance and can send a photo summary when the job is finished.

Do you bring your own supplies and equipment?

Yes — vacuums, microfiber, mops and products are included. If you prefer we use your products, or need fragrance-free or pet-safe solutions, tell us in the quote form and we'll follow your list.

How much does house cleaning cost?

Price depends on square footage, number of bathrooms, condition and frequency, not on a flat per-hour guess. Send us those details and you'll get a firm written quote — usually within the hour — with no charge for the estimate.

Are your cleaners insured and background checked?

Yes. Every cleaner who enters your home is vetted and trained on our checklist, and the company carries insurance covering work performed in your home.

House Cleaning Services

House cleaning is a scheduled top-to-bottom clean of the living areas you use every day — kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, floors and high-touch surfaces — carried out by a trained, insured team on a routine or one-time basis.

Most of our clients start here. A standard house clean keeps kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and shared living space consistently in order so your home never drifts into the state where it needs a full reset. We work from a written room-by-room checklist, so the same work gets done whether you booked us this week or six months ago.

Same crew where possible, a written checklist for every room, and a walkthrough at the end so nothing gets missed.
