Please feel free to call us and we are happy to give you a free estimate to help you with your cleaning needs
Unless you’ve had ongoing cleaning services, or are an especially thorough housekeeper, we recommend that your first appointment be a deep clean. Deep cleaning takes extra time, but you will see and feel the results. Add whatever you like from our Options Menu.
When you set up ongoing cleaning, we’ll continue with our standard cleaning list, and you may request a deep clean or optional items whenever you wish (with an additional charge based on your request).
Move-in and move-out cleanings generally follow our deep clean task list, minus those tasks that don’t apply because the furniture has been removed or hasn’t arrived yet.
If you feel our task lists don’t apply to your specific situation, let us know and we’ll tailor them to your needs.
What we don’t do:
Move heavy furniture or lift heavy items (over 25 lbs).
Use ladders other than two-step stepladders.
Clean outside windows unless they can be easily accessed from the inside (the kind that flips around). Outside windows are additional service and its order separate
Clean excessively moldy areas (requires a professional).
We love pets! But for the safety of our staff, we won’t enter homes with barking/aggressive dogs unless they are properly restrained (all sizes of dogs).
Use toxic chemicals you supply unless approved beforehand (we’re fine with using your non-toxic cleaners).
Ironing.
Clean plasma TVs, computer screens, or equipment, except for dusting tops.
Clean human waste, pet waste, or cat litter – if you want us to clean the area soiled by your pet, you must remove any waste
before we arrive.
* Our cleaners are instructed, for their safety, not to move heavy items or lift more than 25 lbs.** We request that you remove or identify valuable, irreplaceable, or delicate decorations (or other items) that you don’t want us to touch. We also instruct our cleaners not to clean items that are delicate or easily damaged such as crystals, antique collections, or paintings and artwork that are not behind glass.*** We’re glad to fold or replace towels and sheets.
