Cleaning checklist

Exactly what we clean

Pick a plan to see every task we cover, room by room. A deep clean builds on the standard checklist. A move in/out clean goes further still, reaching inside cabinets, appliances, and closets.

Good to know

  • On a standard clean, “within reach” means reachable from the floor. On deep and move in/out cleans we also use a 3-step ladder for higher spots.
  • Windows and glass are cleaned on the inside only.
  • Furniture and heavy items are cleaned around, not moved.
  • Trash liners and fresh linens need to be left out for us.
  • Garages and other unfinished areas aren't included by default. They can be added as an extra room.
  • For move-out cleans, running water and electricity need to be on at the property.
