If you are thinking about hiring a professional cleaning company for your home, one of your first questions might be exactly what type of services do they offer. It helps to know what different areas of your home can be cleaned by the company so you can plan accordingly. While it might vary, the following services are often provided by residential house cleaners.

Regular House Cleaning

The basic service many residential house cleaners offer is routine cleaning, with the frequency depending on your needs and the size of your home. If you have a busy household and large family, you might want the cleaners to arrive twice a week, while someone else only needs cleaning services every week or two. While the exact services vary based on the company and what you need done, it often includes cleaning all surfaces like countertops, toilets, sinks and floors. They often sweep and mop tile and hardwood floors and vacuum the carpets. Cleaning mirrors and interior windows is often included as well. Many cleaners will make the beds or change the sheets on your beds, do thorough cleaning in bathrooms and kitchens, and dust and polish all wood furniture. They might also take a vacuum to the upholstered furniture or clean outdoor areas if you request it. 

Spring Cleaning

You might want a more thorough cleaning about once a year shortly before the spring season arrives. This allows the cleaners to get to areas of your home that might get overlooked, such as wiping down the walls and baseboards, cleaning underneath and behind large appliances, and cleaning out areas of the home like the attic, basement, or garage. If it hasn't been done in a while, cleaning the oven and refrigerator is often included during spring cleaning.

Move In or Out Cleaning

If you are moving to a new home, you may be in need of moving in or out cleaning services. After you have packed up your current home and removed all of your belongings, the cleaning crew will come in and make sure it is cleaned from top to bottom. This allows to the new tenants or homeowners to start in a fresh, clean space. This often includes a more thorough cleaning of the ceiling, walls and baseboards, crown moulding, floors and windows. Any remaining appliances will also be cleaned, along with anything else left behind in the home. It often includes carpet cleaning services and stain removal as well. You can also have this service done in your new home before you move in. It not only ensures it is clean and ready for you to move in, but helps to reduce pests as well.
