Step-by-Step Procedure
Arrival and Setup
Our team arrives on time with all professional supplies and equipment. We do a quick walkthrough with you to note any priority areas or special instructions.
Top-Down Dusting
We start at the top — ceiling fans, light fixtures, and shelves — and work our way down so dust falls to surfaces we have not cleaned yet.
Kitchen Deep Wipe
Countertops, stovetop exterior, appliance surfaces, cabinet fronts, sink, and backsplash are wiped clean. Garbage is removed and bins relined.
Bathroom Scrub
Toilet, tub, shower, sink, mirrors, and fixtures are scrubbed and sanitized. High-touch surfaces like faucets and flush handles get extra attention.
Bedroom and Living Areas
Beds are made with provided linens, surfaces are dusted and wiped, and all rooms are tidied. We move furniture that can be safely moved to clean underneath.
Full Floor Care
Every room is vacuumed including edges and under furniture. All hard floors are then mopped with the appropriate product for your floor type.
Quality Walkthrough
A team lead does a final inspection of every room before we leave. If anything is missed, we fix it on the spot — or return at no charge.
What's Included

Step-by-Step Procedure
Pre-Clean Assessment
We walk the property and identify areas needing the most attention — grout, appliance interiors, heavy buildup zones. This shapes how we allocate time.
Interior Appliances
Oven interior, fridge interior, and microwave are degreased and scrubbed completely. This is the step most regular cleans skip entirely.
Cabinet and Drawer Interiors
Every cabinet and drawer in the kitchen and bathrooms is emptied, wiped clean inside, and left spotless before items are returned.
Grout, Baseboards, and Fixtures
Grout lines in kitchen and bathrooms are scrubbed. All baseboards, door frames, light switches, and outlet covers throughout the home are wiped.
Ceiling Fans, Vents, and Windows
Ceiling fans, air vents, and light fixtures are dusted. Interior windows, windowsills, and tracks are washed clean.
Behind and Under Everything
Appliances are pulled out and cleaned behind and underneath. Furniture is moved where safe to clean beneath. No hidden dirt left behind.
Full Standard Clean on Top
Everything in our standard residential clean is completed on top of all the above. Floors vacuumed and mopped, bathrooms scrubbed, all surfaces wiped.
Final Inspection and Sign-Off
Team lead walks every room with a checklist. We do not leave until every item is checked. You receive a completion confirmation.
What's Included

Parquet & Wood Floor Cleaning
Wood floors need special care to keep their shine and durability. Our Parquet and Wood Floor Cleaning service uses gentle, wood-safe products and microfibre equipment to clean effectively without damage. Whether your floors have lost their lustre or just need a professional refresh, we restore them to their natural best.
View full service detailsBook Parquet & Wood Floor Cleaning
Step-by-Step Procedure
Full Inspection
We inspect the floor type, finish condition, and any problem areas before starting. This determines which products and techniques are appropriate.
HEPA Dry Vacuum
All floor areas are vacuumed with a HEPA filter vacuum including edges and corners. No moisture touches the floor until all dry debris is removed.
pH-Neutral Solution Application
A pH-neutral, wood-safe cleaning solution is applied in controlled small sections. We never oversaturate — excess moisture is the top cause of wood floor damage.
Microfibre Mop Technique
Dampened microfibre mops clean the surface without introducing damaging moisture levels. We clean in the direction of the grain to protect the finish.
Edge and Corner Detail
Along every baseboard and into every corner is hand-cleaned with detail tools. These areas collect the most buildup and are hardest to reach with standard mops.
Buff, Dry, and Condition
The floor is buffed dry and a wood-appropriate conditioner applied to nourish and protect the finish. This restores natural lustre and extends the floor's life.
Condition Report
Any scratches, gaps, finish wear, or areas of concern are noted and reported to you with photos so you can address them before they worsen.
