What Type of House Cleaning Do You Need?

Not every clean is the same. Whether you need a one-time deep scrub, ongoing maintenance, or a fast Airbnb turnover — here's how to pick the right service for your situation.

Deep Cleaning

The reset your home needs

A top-to-bottom scrub that tackles built-up grime, grease behind appliances, soap scum in bathrooms, and dust in forgotten corners. This is always the first visit for new clients.

Best for

First-time bookings, seasonal refreshes, moving into a new place, post-renovation

Frequency

Once, or every 3-6 months

Time estimate

4-8 hours (depending on home size)

Recurring Maintenance Cleaning

Keep it clean without thinking about it

A consistent cleaning on a set schedule — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. The same cleaner comes each time, learns your home, and keeps everything at a steady baseline.

Best for

Busy families, professionals, anyone who wants a consistently clean home without the effort

Frequency

Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly

Time estimate

2-4 hours per visit

Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning

Leave it spotless or start fresh

Every surface cleaned from top to bottom — inside cabinets, appliances, closets, baseboards, light fixtures. Designed to satisfy landlord inspections or welcome you into a truly clean new home.

Best for

End of lease, selling a home, moving into a new apartment or house

Frequency

One-time

Time estimate

5-10 hours (depending on home size and condition)

Post-Construction / Post-Renovation Cleaning

Remove the dust the contractor left behind

Construction dust gets everywhere — inside vents, behind walls, on every surface. This cleaning removes fine dust, adhesive residue, paint splatter, and leaves your renovated space ready to live in.

Best for

After kitchen/bathroom renos, new builds, any major renovation work

Frequency

One-time

Time estimate

6-12 hours

One-Time Deep Clean (No Commitment)

Just once, no strings attached

The same thoroughness as a deep clean, but with no obligation to book again. Perfect for special occasions, hosting guests, or just a one-off reset when life gets hectic.

Best for

Before or after a party, holiday prep, spring cleaning, in-laws visiting

Frequency

One-time

Time estimate

4-8 hours

Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Turnover

Guest-ready in hours

Fast, reliable turnovers between guests. Fresh linens, restocked supplies, spotless bathrooms, and a thorough clean that earns 5-star reviews. Coordinated with your check-in/check-out schedule.

Best for

Airbnb hosts, short-term rental operators, vacation property managers

Frequency

Per turnover (can be multiple times per week)

Time estimate

1.5-3 hours per turnover

How to Choose: Quick Decision Guide

Is this your first time hiring a cleaner?

Start with a Deep Clean. It sets the baseline for everything after.

Do you want ongoing help?

Recurring Maintenance is the way. Pick weekly if you have kids or pets, bi-weekly for most households.

Are you moving?

Move-In/Move-Out cleaning covers every inch — inside drawers, appliances, and closets.

Just finished renovations?

Post-Construction cleaning handles the fine dust and debris regular cleaning can't.

Hosting an event or guests?

A one-time deep clean gets your home guest-ready without commitment.

Running a short-term rental?

Airbnb turnover cleaning keeps your reviews high and your schedule tight.
