Service planning

Choose the right clean

Most homes fit into one of a few patterns. The right service depends on whether the home is maintained, built up, empty, furnished between stays, or unusual enough to need review.
  • Standard cleaning for maintained homes and recurring upkeep
  • Deep cleaning for buildup, first visits, and detail resets
  • Move-out cleaning for empty-home handoff
  • Custom scope for larger or unusual requests

Home preparation

Make the visit easier to execute

Preparation is not about pre-cleaning. It is about making the confirmed work accessible and making important home rules visible before the crew arrives.
  • Clear floors and counters where possible
  • Save gate, parking, elevator, and lockbox notes
  • Flag pets, fragile surfaces, and low-scent preferences
  • Name the rooms or surfaces that matter most
