How Long Does a Cleaning Visit Take?
Visit length depends on your home size, service type, and how long it's been since your last clean. In general:
- Standard home cleanings often take 2–4 hours for an average-size home.
- Deep cleans can take longer, especially on first visits or heavily used spaces.
- Move-in / move-out and STR turnover cleanings vary based on level of buildup and detail requested.
We'll give you a clear time estimate during your walkthrough or booking consultation.
What Should I Expect During a Cleaning Visit?
My professional cleaning process typically includes:
- Quick walkthrough and priority check-in.
- Decluttering key areas as needed so we can clean effectively.
- Dusting, wiping, and sanitizing high-touch surfaces.
- Detailed bathroom and kitchen cleaning based on your service type.
- Vacuuming and mopping floors.
- Final walkthrough and tidy reset so your space feels finished.
Do I Need to Be Home During the Cleaning?
You're welcome to be home, but you don't have to be. Many clients provide secure access instructions so I can clean while they're at work or out running errands. I'll discuss what feels most comfortable and secure for you during booking.
How Should I Prepare Before You Arrive?
To help me focus on detailed cleaning (instead of heavy tidying), I recommend:
Before Your Visit
- Pick up toys, laundry, and everyday clutter where possible.
- Secure pets if they are nervous around vacuums or new people.
- Let me know about any delicate items or special instructions.
Day-Of Details
- Make sure we have clear entry instructions and gate codes if needed.
- Ensure counters and sinks are mostly clear so we can clean all surfaces.
- Share any last-minute priorities or areas you'd like us to focus on.
Don't worry – we're here to make things easier, not perfect before we arrive.
