House Cleaning List

Most of our customers like to have their houses cleaned every week or every two weeks. We also offer one-time cleanings, four-week cleanings, and as-needed cleanings. Note that we do start with a very basic cleaning list so we aren’t automatically charging you for items you may not need. We will personalize the cleaning list to your wishes!
