Regular Cleaning
Regular cleaning, often referred to as standard or maintenance cleaning, typically includes routine tasks that help maintain a clean and tidy home environment. It’s usually done on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis. Here’s what’s commonly included in a regular cleaning service:
Dusting
Wiping down surfaces, including furniture, shelves, and other visible surfaces, to remove dust.
Vacuuming
Cleaning carpets and rugs to remove dirt, crumbs, and other debris.
Mopping
Wet-cleaning non-carpeted floors, such as hardwood, laminate, tile, or linoleum.
Bathroom Cleaning
Scrubbing and disinfecting the toilet, shower, bathtub, sink, and mirrors. It also includes wiping down counters and fixtures.
Kitchen Cleaning
Wiping down countertops, stove top, and appliance exteriors. Cleaning the sink and faucets, and sometimes, the microwave interior.
Trash Removal
Emptying all trash cans in the house and replacing the bags.
General Tidying Up
Picking up and straightening items throughout the home, like arranging cushions, folding throws, and organizing magazines.
Making Beds
Straightening the sheets and duvets, and fluffing the pillows. Some services may offer linen changing as part of regular cleaning or as an additional service.
Spot Cleanin
Wiping down light switches, door handles, and other frequently touched surfaces.
Regular cleaning is focused on maintaining a level of cleanliness around the house and is not as in-depth as deep cleaning, which involves tackling hard-to-reach areas, accumulated grime, and areas that aren’t typically covered in a regular cleaning routine.
