What your first visit looks like

Every new client starts with a deep clean. Here is exactly what happens between booking and the checklist text, so nothing is a surprise.

Why the first one runs long

A first visit takes four to six hours with two cleaners, because it sets the baseline every later visit maintains. Baseboards, vents, inside appliances, behind furniture: done once, properly.

After that, a recurring visit to the same home takes around two hours. The deep-clean fee is credited in full if you start a weekly or biweekly plan within thirty days.

Three things to do before we arrive

You do not need to clean before the cleaners. A little clearing makes the visit faster, and faster means more time on the detail work.

Clear counters of small items

Pick up clothes and toys off floors

Tell us about pets and delicate surfaces

Dishes, laundry and inside-appliance work can be added as extras when you book.

While the team is in your home

A few habits that keep the visit smooth and your home the way you left it.

Keys and codes

Kept in a coded safe, never labelled with an address. Codes deleted when you leave.
