We wipe down countertops and cabinets, scrub sinks and stovetops, clean fronts of appliances, shine fixtures and vacuum and mop the floor.

Before mopping, we vacuum all floors, including carpets and rugs, with a handheld vacuum instead of less-than-thorough sweeping. Our handheld vacuum is distinctly made for hardwoods, tile and laminates.

We scrub sinks, countertops, toilets, bathtubs, shower and tile walls. We shine all fixtures, clean mirrors and vacuum and mop floors. We use cleaners to remove hard water stains and mildew as needed.

If it’s got a surface, we’ll dust it! We use an extension duster for baseboards, fans, light fixtures, ceilings and blinds. We dust lamps, frames, furniture and knickknacks by hand.

Tidy up beds even if sheets are not changed, fold blankets on couches, throw away dead leaves around plants, throw away other trash on floor where the big vacuum or mini vac cannot reach, and other general tidying up.

We collect and empty household trash cans and replace liners.

We dust and wipe appliances and vacuum and mop the floor.

We shine all entry and interior glass doors, wipe down light switches and address any other smudges or fingerprints. Linens can be changed upon request.
