What is Standard Cleaning?

Standard cleaning is a basic level of cleaning that covers essential tasks to maintain a tidy and hygienic space. It typically includes routine chores but does not involve deep cleaning or specialized services. This type of cleaning service is perfect for those who wish to keep their homes in decent condition without going into extensive detail, allowing you to focus on your day-to-day activities while ensuring that your environment remains pleasant and clean.

What’s Included in a Standard Cleaning?

Dusting – Surfaces, furniture, ceiling fans, shelves, and decors. Dusting not only improves the appearance of your home but also enhances the air quality by removing allergens and particles that accumulate over time.
Vacuuming & Sweeping – Floors, sofas, couches, carpets, and rugs. Regular vacuuming and sweeping help to prolong the life of your flooring and upholstery by preventing dirt and grime buildup.
Mopping – Hard floors (tiles, hardwood, laminated). Mopping not only keeps your floors looking new but also removes sticky residues and kills germs, providing a safer environment for you and your family.
Surface Wiping – Countertops, tables, mirrors, light switches and appliances. This helps maintain a clean surface to prevent the spread of germs and keep your home looking pristine.
Bathroom Cleaning – Sink, mirrors, toilet (exterior), shower, bathtub (surface cleaning). A clean bathroom is essential not only for aesthetics but also for hygiene; regular cleaning reduces the risk of mold and mildew.
Kitchen Cleaning – Wiping counters, stovetop, and exterior of appliances and cabinets. The kitchen is often the heart of the home, and ensuring it's clean fosters a more enjoyable cooking and dining experience.
Trash Removal – Emptying bins. Regular trash removal prevents unpleasant odors and keeps your living space organized.
General Tidying – Straightening up items, making the beds (but not organizing deeply). A tidy home can have a positive psychological impact, making you feel more organized and in control.

What’s NOT Included?

Deep cleaning and Add-ons (grout scrubbing, inside oven/fridge, inside kitchen cabinets/drawers, interior walls, inside windows, window blinds, inside closets, dishes, baseboard cleaning). These tasks require additional time and specialized equipment to ensure that everything is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
Organizing (closets, drawers). This may involve rearranging, decluttering, and creating systems to help ensure that everything has its place for easier maintenance.
Specialized tasks (moving away furniture, exterior window washing, carpet shampooing, power washing). These tasks may require additional expertise and specialized cleaning solutions to achieve the best results.

When to Choose Standard Cleaning?

For regular maintenance (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly). Consistency in cleaning practices helps to reduce allergens and keeps surfaces looking their best.
For rental turnovers (basic cleaning between tenants). This ensures that the space is welcoming and ready for the next occupants, helping you maintain a good reputation as a landlord.
For general upkeep in homes or offices. Whether you are running a business or managing a busy household, keeping a clean environment is vital for productivity and comfort.

NOTE: For a more thorough clean, consider deep cleaning or move-in/move-out cleaning. These services are designed to tackle the deeper levels of cleaning that may be necessary after major events such as moving or renovations.

Identifying the condition of a house before cleaning helps determine whether a standard cleaning is sufficient or if a deep cleaning (or specialized service) is needed. Here’s a detailed guide on how to assess the house’s condition effectively and make well-informed decisions about cleaning needs:

Key Factors to Check:

Level of Dust & Dirt
- Light dust on surfaces → Standard cleaning.
- Thick dust, cobwebs, or grime → Deep cleaning.
Floor Condition
- Normal footprints or light dirt → Sweeping/mopping (standard).
- Stains, sticky residues, or embedded dirt → Deep scrubbing or carpet cleaning.
Kitchen Grease & Grime
- Wipeable countertops & stove → Standard cleaning.
- Built-up grease on cabinets, oven, or backsplash → Deep degreasing required.
Bathroom Mold & Soap Scum
- Light surface cleaning → Standard.
- Heavy limescale, mold in grout, or stained tiles → Deep cleaning/disinfection.
Clutter & Odors
- Minimal clutter → Standard tidying.
- Excessive clutter, pet hair, or strong odors → Deep cleaning + odor removal.
Last Cleaning Date
- Regularly maintained (cleaned within 1–2 weeks) → Standard.
- Not cleaned in months/years → Deep cleaning first.
