If you’ve never had a professional cleaner before, one of the first questions you’ll probably ask is, “What exactly is included?”
It’s a fair question, and the simple answer is that every home is different. A regular clean isn’t about following a rigid checklist. It’s about keeping your home consistently clean, fresh and enjoyable to live in, while focusing on the areas that matter most to you.
Whether you choose a weekly or fortnightly clean, here’s what you can typically expect from a regular domestic cleaning service.
Kitchen
The kitchen is often one of the busiest rooms in the home, so it’s usually a priority during every visit.
A regular clean may include:
- Wiping and sanitising worktops
- Cleaning the sink and taps
- Cleaning the hob
- Wiping cupboard fronts where needed
- Cleaning the outside of appliances such as the microwave, kettle and toaster
- Vacuuming and mopping the floor
- Emptying bins if requested
Bathroom
Bathrooms benefit from regular attention to keep them fresh and hygienic.
Typical tasks include:
- Cleaning the toilet
- Cleaning the bath and/or shower
- Cleaning the sink and taps
- Polishing mirrors
- Wiping accessible tiles and surfaces
- Vacuuming and mopping the floor
Living Areas
Your living spaces are where you relax, so regular cleaning helps keep them looking their best.
This may include:
- Dusting furniture and surfaces
- Polishing where appropriate
- Vacuuming carpets and rugs
- Mopping hard floors
- Wiping window sills and other accessible surfaces
- Straightening cushions and throws if you’d like us to
Bedrooms
Bedrooms are usually cleaned with the same attention to detail, helping create a calm and comfortable space.
Tasks often include:
- Dusting furniture
- Vacuuming carpets or floors
- Emptying bedroom bins
- Making beds or changing bed linen if this has been agreed in advance
Hallways, Stairs and Landings
These areas are often the busiest parts of the home and can quickly collect dust and dirt.
Your cleaner will usually:
- Vacuum carpets and stairs
- Mop hard flooring
- Dust accessible surfaces and skirting boards where required
Every Home Is Different
No two homes, or homeowners, are the same.
Some clients would like extra attention paid to the bathrooms each visit, while others would rather their cleaner spend more time on floors, dusting or the kitchen.
If there are particular areas that are especially important to you, simply let us know. We want your cleaning service to work around your priorities, not the other way round.
What Isn’t Usually Included?
A regular domestic clean is designed to maintain your home, rather than carry out occasional deep cleaning tasks.
Jobs that aren’t normally included as part of a standard clean include:
- Cleaning inside ovens
- Carpet or upholstery cleaning
- Exterior window cleaning
- End of tenancy cleaning
- Heavy lifting or moving large furniture
- Intensive deep cleaning of neglected areas
If you need any of these services, just ask. We’ll always be happy to discuss the best option for your home.
