Our standard

A clear standard from the walkthrough forward.

The same six-point standard applies to every property, from the first walkthrough to the next review.

  • Walkthrough first. We begin by understanding the property, traffic, priorities, access, and the areas that create the greatest concern.
  • Written scope. The proposal identifies included areas, routine tasks, service frequency, rotations, add-ons, and exclusions.
  • Prepared launch. The cleaning team is briefed on the property, access procedures, priorities, products, and communication path before service begins.
  • Consistent execution. Routine work follows the approved property checklist, with detail items assigned to the agreed rotation.
  • Visible accountability. Supervision, inspection, and corrective follow-up are aligned with the needs of the account.
  • Direct communication. Your designated contact can report a concern, request a schedule adjustment, or share a change in the property.
Common questions

Answers before the walkthrough.

A few things property teams typically ask before service begins.

Does the property need to be empty before the cleaning?

An empty property allows the team to clean more thoroughly and efficiently. Any furniture, boxes, personal belongings, or areas that will remain occupied should be disclosed before service so the scope and expectations can be confirmed.

Are appliance interiors and cabinet interiors included?

They can be included when listed in the approved scope. The refrigerator, oven, microwave, cabinets, and drawers must be empty and accessible before cleaning begins.

Do you remove furniture, boxes, or items left behind?

No. Hauling, bulk-item removal, and disposal of abandoned belongings are not included. The property should be cleared before the scheduled cleaning unless another arrangement is approved in writing.

Can you guarantee that a renter will receive the security deposit back?

No. Deposit decisions are made by the landlord or property manager and may include damage, repairs, lease terms, and other factors outside the cleaning scope.

Moving or turning a unit?

Moving, turning a unit, or preparing a property for occupancy? Share the address, property size, current condition, preferred service date, and appliance-cleaning needs so we can confirm availability and prepare the right scope.
