6 Types of Home Cleaning Services

Want your home cleaned professionally but worry about the harsh chemicals harming your family’s health? Or maybe you dream about finally deep cleaning your bathroom but lack the necessary equipment? Perhaps you just bought a new home and need help cleaning the old one before you sell it. Cleaning is on every page of our lives, and those living in New York know how dramatic it can get when schedules are tough.

You must have heard about professional cleaning services, but are they worth the price? Their variety in New York is baffling, and you don’t know what to expect. From our experience, we know that most new clients have these questions and doubts when they contact us for a free quote. So we decided to remove the pain by explaining what every cleaning service includes and what to expect from each of them. So, sit back, relax, and let’s navigate the cleaning jungle together!  

Regular cleaning (residential cleaning)

Residential cleaning is a solution for people who want both a clean, guests-ready home and a life. Except for freeing up precious time for you, regular cleaning service offers many other benefits. By eliminating dust, allergens, and germs, it promotes better indoor air quality and overall well-being. A tidy, clutter-free environment reduces stress and creates a sense of order and tranquility. Clean and organized spaces enhance focus and productivity, while regular maintenance extends the lifespan of your furniture and appliances, saving you money in the long run. Additionally, a clean home makes a positive impression on guests and visitors, and proper sanitation helps deter pests, preventing potential health risks.

What is included in regular cleaning:

• Dusting and wiping surfaces. All surfaces, including furniture, shelves, and decorative items, are dusted and wiped down.
• Vacuuming and mopping floors. Carpets, rugs, and upholstery are vacuumed, while hard floors are mopped to remove dirt and stains.
• Bathroom cleaning. Toilets, sinks, and showers are scrubbed and disinfected, and mirrors and fixtures are wiped clean.
• Kitchen cleaning. Countertops, sinks, and stovetops are sanitized, and the exterior surfaces of appliances are wiped down.
• Emptying Trash. Trash is removed from all rooms, and liners are replaced.
• Tidying up. Common areas are organized and straightened up to maintain a neat appearance.

How often to schedule regular cleaning:

Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.

Deep cleaning

Deep cleaning is the perfect solution for those times when regular cleaning just isn’t enough (or for people who don’t love cleaning). Over time, dirt, grime, and clutter build up in the hidden corners of your home, creating an unhealthy environment. Deep cleaning tackles these issues head-on, ensuring a thorough and comprehensive cleaning. This service not only enhances the appearance of your home but also significantly improves indoor air quality, reduces allergens, and prevents the spread of germs. You will notice how much easier regular cleaning becomes after your home is deep cleaned professionally.  

What is included in deep cleaning:

• Detailed dusting. Every surface, including hard-to-reach areas like ceiling fans, light fixtures, and baseboards, is meticulously dusted.
• Thorough floor cleaning. Carpets are deep-cleaned, and hard floors are scrubbed to remove embedded dirt and stains.
• Bathroom overhaul. Tiles, shower, tub, grout, and fixtures are scrubbed and disinfected, ensuring every nook and cranny is spotless.
• Kitchen deep clean. Appliances, including the oven and refrigerator, are cleaned inside and out. Cabinets and drawers are wiped down to remove accumulated grease and grime.
• Window cleaning. Both interior and exterior windows are cleaned to let in more natural light and improve the overall look of your home.
• Furniture and upholstery. Sofas, chairs, and other upholstered items are vacuumed and spot-cleaned to remove dust and stains.

How often to schedule deep cleaning:

Once every 3-6 months if you clean often and once a month if you do not clean much throughout this period.
