Accepted Answer

Question 4

Do I need to provide cleaning supplies?

Accepted Answer

No. Our team brings the cleaning products and equipment needed to perform the service. If you have a specific product you would like us to use on a particular surface or area of your home, simply let us know ahead of time.

Question 5

What is included in a standard residential cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Our standard cleaning service is focused on the regular maintenance of your home and typically includes cleaning bathrooms, the kitchen, surfaces, dusting, vacuuming, and mopping floors. Some items may vary depending on the service selected. To see exactly what is included, we recommend checking our Service Checklist section, where we provide a detailed breakdown of each cleaning service.

Question 6

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

Accepted Answer

No. You do not need to be home while we clean. Many of our clients provide a key, door code, garage access, or specific entry instructions so our team can complete the service while they are away. If you prefer to stay home during the cleaning, that is completely fine. We simply ask that you allow our cleaners access to the areas being cleaned while they are working in each space. We can coordinate the best access option with you before your appointment.

Question 7

Why can the first cleaning take longer?

Accepted Answer

During the first visit, our team may need to spend additional time addressing areas with accumulated dust, grease, residue, and buildup that go beyond regular maintenance. Once we establish a good cleaning baseline, recurring services usually become faster and more efficient.

Question 8

Will the same cleaning team come to my home every time?

Accepted Answer

Whenever possible, we try to maintain consistency with the team assigned to your home. However, changes may occasionally happen because of vacations, days off, emergencies, scheduling changes, or other operational needs. Regardless of which team visits your home, our professionals follow the same cleaning standards and service information recorded for your property.

Question 9

Is the inside of the oven and refrigerator included?

Accepted Answer

Cleaning the inside of the oven and refrigerator may depend on the type of service selected and, in some cases, may be available as an additional service. To see exactly what is included with your cleaning, please visit our Service Checklist section.

Question 10

How often should I schedule a cleaning?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your household and lifestyle. Families with children, pets, or higher household traffic often benefit from weekly or biweekly cleanings. We also offer other cleaning frequencies based on each client's needs.

Question 11

Do I need to organize my home before the cleaners arrive?

Accepted Answer

You do not need to clean your home before we arrive. However, we recommend putting away clothes, toys, documents, and personal items that may be scattered around the home. This allows our team to access surfaces more easily and spend the scheduled time actually cleaning your home.

Question 12

How long does it take to clean a house?

Accepted Answer

A regular cleaning typically takes between 1 and 4 hours, depending on the size of the home, number of rooms, condition of the property, and number of cleaners performing the service. A Deep Cleaning typically takes between 4 and 12 hours in most cases. These are general estimates. Larger homes, properties with heavier buildup, or situations requiring additional attention may take longer.

Question 13

What is the difference between professional cleaning and regular household cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Our team follows professional processes, standards, and cleaning routines designed to make the service more efficient and consistent. In addition to saving you time, professional cleaning helps maintain your home on a regular basis and gives attention to areas that are often overlooked during everyday cleaning.
