Every cleaning company says it follows a checklist. The difference is in what the checklist actually covers. If you are comparing services, or you just want to know what a professional visit should include, here is the room by room breakdown our team works from in Lowell, MA homes.
Kitchen
The kitchen gets the deepest attention in most homes: counters and backsplash wiped down, stovetop cleaned, sink scrubbed and disinfected, appliance exteriors polished, cabinet fronts spot-cleaned, and floors vacuumed and mopped. In a deep cleaning, the inside of the oven, refrigerator and microwave joins the list.
Bathrooms
Showers, tubs, toilets and sinks are scrubbed and disinfected, mirrors are polished, fixtures are descaled where needed, and floors are mopped. Bathrooms are where a professional visit shows the most, because they are the rooms that punish postponement.
Bedrooms
All surfaces dusted, mirrors and glass cleaned, beds made when linens are left out, and floors vacuumed or mopped, including under furniture where it is accessible. A bedroom that is cleaned on a schedule simply sleeps better.
Living areas
Dusting throughout, including shelves, frames and electronics surfaces, glass and mirrors polished, upholstery vacuumed where appropriate, and floors finished last so the result holds. Stairs and entryways are included, since they set the tone of the home.
Regular visit or deep cleaning?
A regular visit maintains this checklist on a weekly or biweekly rhythm. A deep cleaning adds the rotated details: baseboards, ceiling fans, vents, light fixtures and inside appliances. Most new clients start with a deep cleaning and then move to regular visits. You can see the full breakdown on our house cleaning page and what a deep cleaning adds.
