First time clean and what to expect: Our first visit is more like a spring cleaning or perhaps a “catch up” cleaning. Before we can begin the routine cleaning of your home, there are a variety of first time tasks that require extra time and effort. There is a big difference between “old” dirt and “new” dirt. If we don’t get rid of the old dirt, removing new dirt isn’t going to make your space sparkle. It’s not uncommon for us to spend three or four times longer on a first cleaning than it takes us on a regular maintenance visit. Perhaps no one has vacuumed behind or beneath your couch for a while (we move what we can.) Windowsills, stove tops and hoods, baseboards and doors are prime candidates for long periods of neglect. Kitchen cabinets, countertops and appliances usually require extra attention on our first visit. If we don’t spend the time and effort to get the shower doors, tracks, stall, walls, bathtub, fixtures and floors thoroughly cleaned, they just won’t look really clean no matter how often we visit. 

Maintenance Cleaning: After your initial Top to Bottom Deep Clean, we will maintain your home and keep it sparkling clean! We schedule regular maintenance cleanings on frequencies of weekly, every 2 weeks (bi-weekly), or every 4 weeks (monthly). We can also schedule periodic maintenance cleanings.
