What’s included in Standard Cleaning
Best for a home that is already kept up, or that a professional cleaned in the last few weeks. We clean the surfaces you can see.
Included
- Kitchen: counters wiped, sinks scrubbed and sanitized, stovetop wiped, the outsides of appliances wiped and shined, the inside of the microwave, and a small load of dishes in the sink (never a full sink).
- Bathrooms: showers, tubs, toilets, sinks and mirrors cleaned.
- Bedrooms and living areas: dusting of surfaces we can reach, bed linens changed, and a general tidy.
- Baseboards: a light dust pass.
- Floors: every floor vacuumed, then mopped until clean.
- Trash emptied and a fresh bag put in.
Not included
- The inside of the oven and refrigerator. You can add these (see Inside Appliances below). The inside of the microwave is always included.

Standard Cleaning questions, answered
How long does a standard cleaning take?
Most Houston homes take two to four hours depending on size and condition. Larger or busier homes take longer, and we plan the time honestly rather than rushing the last rooms.
Is the oven or refrigerator included?
Not in a standard clean — inside the oven and refrigerator are add-ons, and both are included automatically in a move-out cleaning. Just mention them when you request your quote.
Do I need to be home?
No. Give us access instructions once and we follow them exactly on every visit.
Standard or deep clean — which do I need?
If a professional cleaned within the last month or two, standard is usually right. If it has been longer, or the home has never had professional service, a deep clean first sets the baseline that standard visits then maintain.
Do you bring supplies?
Yes, our teams arrive with professional supplies and equipment. If you prefer specific products, tell us and we use yours.
