What does this type of cleaning cover?
This type of cleaning covers work done inside private homes, apartments, and condos, as opposed to offices or commercial buildings. The job usually covers kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas.
Most companies offer a few tiers of service. A standard clean handles the basics on a recurring schedule. A deep clean goes further into the spaces a regular visit skips. Specialty services like window or carpet cleaning are usually booked separately or added on.
Standard clean
Regular upkeep on a recurring schedule. Covers the basics room by room.
Deep clean
A full reset for the spots a standard visit skips. Start here first.
What's included in a standard clean
A standard visit is built for upkeep, not a full reset. It typically covers:
- Dusting surfaces and furniture
- Mopping hard floors
- Cleaning and sanitizing bathrooms
- Making beds and general tidying
- Vacuuming carpets and rugs
- Wiping kitchen counters and appliance exteriors
- Emptying trash bins
This is the right choice if your home just needs regular upkeep and doesn’t have months of buildup to deal with.
Deep Cleaning
Deep cleaning covers everything a standard clean does, plus the areas that get missed week to week. That includes baseboards, window sills, light fixtures, inside the oven and fridge, grout lines, and behind furniture. Some other specialty cleaning add-ons are
Window cleaning
Interior and exterior glass, sills, and tracks.
Carpet cleaning
Hot water extraction for dirt and allergens.
Move out cleaning
Full detailed clean for renters and empty units.
Post construction
Clears dust and debris after a renovation.
Some companies also offer kitchen and bathroom cleaning as standalone add-ons if you only need specific rooms handled.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on a few factors, and the only way to get an exact number is a quote based on your actual home, not a generic price list.
A standard clean for a 2-bedroom home generally costs less than a deep clean for the same space, since deep cleaning takes more time per room. Recurring schedules are often priced lower per visit than a one-time booking.
$ What affects the price
- Square footage of the home
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Standard clean versus deep clean
- One-time visit versus a recurring schedule
How to choose the right company
Are the products safe for kids and pets?
Ask what products they use if anyone in your home has sensitivities.
Is the team screened and trained?
Confirm background checks are standard practice.
Do you have to sign a contract?
Look for companies that let you cancel without penalty.
When do you pay?
Some want a deposit. Others let you pay after the job is done.

Frequently asked questions
What is included in residential cleaning services?
Standard residential cleaning covers dusting, vacuuming, mopping, kitchen and bathroom sanitizing, and general tidying. Deep cleaning adds baseboards, window sills, inside appliances, and other areas a standard visit skips.
How often should I book a cleaning?
Most homeowners book weekly or biweekly for upkeep, with a deep clean once or twice a year. If your home doesn’t get heavy daily use, monthly service may be enough.
Is residential cleaning the same as house cleaning?
Yes. Residential cleaning and house cleaning refer to the same thing: cleaning services for private homes rather than commercial or business properties.
Do cleaning companies bring their own supplies?
Most companies bring their own products and equipment. If you have a strong preference for specific products, ask before booking to confirm they can accommodate it.
