CLEANING WITH CARE

Standard (regular) cleaning is recommended for apartments cleaned on a weekly or biweekly basis. Main purpose of standard cleaning is to maintain the apartment and to clean light dust and fresh dirt.

​

Deep cleaning is recommended for apartments which are cleaned less frequently or are heavily used by their occupants. Main purpose of deep cleaning is to clean accumulated dust and scrub surfaces in the kitchen and bathrooms. Deep cleaning is more laborious and usually requires wiping surfaces a few times before they feel clean. Deep cleaning does not include post-construction cleaning.

​

Move-in/out cleaning is done by tenants before move-in or after move-out. These two types of cleaning have a major difference. Main purpose of move-out cleaning is to bring the apartment to a condition where the tenants will get their security deposit back. Which means removing dust, greese and dirt to make everything look clean and in good condition. Main purpose of move-in cleaning is to sanitize the apartment, and make all the surfaces inside and out truly clean and hygenic for new residents. That being said, we focus on different things to bring value and stay in budget. Move-in/out cleaning does not include post-construction cleaning.

​

Office cleaning is typically done daily, few times a week or one time a week to keep up with trash accumulation and to keep public areas (bathrooms, kitchen and hallways) clean and hygenic.
