Typical Maintenance Clean by Room Type:

Kitchen

  • Light switch plates and door handles wiped to remove fingerprints and smudges

  • Appliance exteriors wiped down

  • Cabinet door exteriors and interiors wiped for fingerprints

    • Drawer edges pulled open and wiped to catch spills and residue

  • Complete countertop and backsplash cleaned (unless obstructed by an excess of everyday items, such as mail piles, kitchen gadgets, or multiple cutting boards)

  • Small appliance trays (toaster, coffee maker, water dispenser) cleaned out

  • Sink scoured, including the drain ring

  • Tabletop, underside where fingerprints collect, and all sides of chairs wiped down with a damp cloth.

Shared Living Spaces, Bedrooms, and Offices

  • Dry dusting of fine furniture, with special attention to keeping the area around the headboard fresh in bedrooms

  • Wiping frequently touched surfaces with a damp cloth (coffee tables, end tables, door frames, knobs, etc.), being mindful of office workspaces; if desks have a lot of papers or clutter, we will wait to clean them until they are cleared.

Priority Rotation Schedule – For Maintenance Cleaning

For homes trying to stick to a set budget for a Maintenance Cleaning schedule at least biweekly, we offer a Priority Rotation Schedule (PRS) to ensure all areas of your home receive attention over time.

How It Works

Example:

  • Every Visit: Kitchens, Bathrooms, and Shared Living Spaces (our High Priority areas) receive cleaning.

  • Week 1: Bedrooms

  • Week 2: All Rooms on the First Floor + Basement

  • Week 3: Additional Deep Cleaning Focus (e.g., windows, vents, detailed dusting)

  • Week 4: Customized Rotation Based on Your Home’s Needs

This system ensures that your home stays consistently clean while allowing flexibility for more thorough cleaning in different areas over time. If you have specific requests, we’re happy to customize the rotation based on your needs!
