Residential cleaning by property type
The checklist adapts to the building. Stairs, secondary suites and shared entrances all change how a visit runs.
Detached and semi-detached homes
The standard whole-home clean, quoted on bedrooms, bathrooms and frequency.
Townhomes and row houses
Multi-level layouts where stairs and landings need their own pass rather than being caught in passing.
Condos and apartments
Smaller footprint with building access rules, quiet hours and elevator booking to arrange in advance.
Basement and secondary suites
Separate living space, often with its own kitchen and bathroom, cleaned as its own unit within the visit.
Rental properties between tenants
Empty units cleaned to a handover standard, which is a deeper scope than a routine residential visit.
One-time or recurring residential cleaning
Same crew, same checklist. What changes is how often we come and how deep the scope goes.
One-time cleans
A single whole-home visit with no commitment - before guests, after a busy stretch, or to try the service.
Recurring service
Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly at a locked rate, with the same cleaners returning each visit.
Deep cleans
The reset scope: grout, degreasing, baseboards, window tracks and inside appliances.
Move-in and move-out cleans
Empty-unit scope for handovers, including inside cabinets, appliances and closets.
Households we clean for
Families with young children
High-touch surfaces, floors and bathrooms carry the load. Product choice matters more in these homes than in most.
Pet owners
Hair on soft furnishings and along baseboards needs dedicated time, which we schedule rather than absorb.
Busy and dual-income households
Most clients are not home during the visit. Key, code or lockbox access is arranged at the first clean.
Seniors and accessibility needs
Predictable scheduling and the same familiar cleaners each visit, with low-fragrance products as the default.
Residential cleaning vs house cleaning - the same service
Why both terms exist
Residential cleaning is the industry term; house cleaning is what most homeowners actually search for. The crew and the checklist are identical.

Residential cleaning questions
What's the difference between residential and house cleaning?
They're the same service - 'residential cleaning' is the industry term, 'house cleaning' is what most homeowners search for. Both are whole-home cleans handled by our same crew.
Do you clean condos and townhomes too?
Yes. Most of our recurring residential clients live in detached homes, but we clean condos, townhomes, and semi-detached just as often.
Are your cleaners insured and background-checked?
Yes - every cleaner is insured, bonded, and background-checked before they enter a home.
