  • Approximate Time Ranges (One Person)

    Type of Cleaning & Estimated Time

    Standard/Maintenance Clean 3 to 5 hours This is the time for a routine clean of a home that is already well-maintained. Includes dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and cleaning bathrooms and the kitchen.

    Initial/Deep Clean6 to 8+ hours This is necessary for the first clean or for a home that hasn't been cleaned in a while. It includes detail work like baseboards, blinds, interior windows, and more intense scrubbing.

    Key Factors That Affect the Time

    The actual time can be heavily influenced by several variables:

    1. Level of Clutter: A home that is highly cluttered requires a lot of time just to pick up and organize items before cleaning can begin, adding significantly to the total duration.

    2. Number of Bathrooms: Bathrooms are the most time-consuming rooms. A 2,000 sq. ft. home with two full bathrooms will take much less time than one with four or five bathrooms.

    3. Presence of Pets and Children: Homes with pets and young children typically accumulate dirt, hair, and sticky messes faster, requiring more intense cleaning, especially in high-traffic areas.

    4. Frequency of Cleaning: If the home is cleaned weekly, the task is much faster (closer to the 3-hour mark) than if it is cleaned monthly or quarterly, which is often closer to a deep clean.

    5. Desired Scope of Work: The time estimates above are for core cleaning. Adding extras like changing multiple sets of linens, doing laundry, cleaning the interior of the refrigerator/oven, or detailed organization will extend the time.

    Payment is due as soon as services are rendered.

  • (e.g., do they need to be secured in a crate or a separate room?) YES, they need to be secured safely away in a crate, room, or otherwise outside the home for the pet’s safely as well as our cleaner’s safety.

  • (Insurance covers damage to the property, while bonding protects against theft). Absolutely! We wouldn’t set foot in a clients home without it.
