This service is intended to maintain a basic level of cleanliness in a home that is already relatively clean. It’s often scheduled on a regular basis – weekly, biweekly, or monthly.

Deep Cleaning: Deep cleaning is more thorough and detailed than general cleaning. It includes everything in a general cleaning, but with added tasks that are usually neglected in day-to-day cleaning routines, cleaning window sills and dusting ceiling fans and light fixtures.

In addition to everything covered in a deep clean, premium cleaning might include services such as cleaning interior windows, washing blinds, detailed cleaning of interior cabinets and drawers, this can include tasks like cleaning behind and under appliances, cleaning inside the fridge and oven, scrubbing tile grout, washing walls and baseboards, and other high-detail tasks.
