What’s Included in a Standard House Clean? (Room-by-Room Breakdown)
A lot of homeowners tell us they’re not totally sure what a “standard clean” actually includes. And honestly, that confusion makes sense — every company uses the term a little differently.
Here’s how we explain it.
A standard clean is meant to maintain a home that’s already in decent shape. It’s not a deep scrub of every inch, but it should absolutely leave the home feeling fresh and reset.
Here’s a general breakdown.
Kitchen
• Countertops wiped and sanitized
• Sink cleaned and polished
• Stovetop wiped
• Exterior of appliances cleaned
• Table and chairs wiped
• Floors vacuumed and mopped
Bathrooms
• Toilet cleaned and disinfected
• Sink and vanity wiped
• Mirror cleaned
• Shower and tub surface cleaned
• Floors cleaned
Bedrooms
• Surfaces dusted
• Beds straightened (not full linen changes unless requested)
• Floors vacuumed or mopped
• Trash emptied
Living Areas
• Dusting of surfaces
• Floors cleaned
• Light straightening and tidying
What’s usually not included unless requested:
• Inside oven
• Inside fridge
• Heavy buildup or mold
• Post-construction messes
If a home hasn’t been professionally cleaned in a long time, we usually recommend starting with a deep clean first. It just sets everything up for success.
