What’s Included in a Maintenance Clean?

A maintenance clean is all about upkeep. It’s designed to keep your home consistently clean after a deep clean has already been completed. Think of it like dental care. You brush your teeth every day (maintenance clean), but then every 6-12 months you go to the dentists (deep clean).

If your home is already in decent shape and cleaned regularly, this is your sweet spot.

❌ What’s Not Included in a Maintenance Clean

Maintenance cleanings are not designed for heavy buildup or neglected spaces.

INCLUDED IF REQUESTED:

Deep scrubbing of heavy grime or soap scum
Baseboards with heavy buildup
Inside ovens, refrigerators, or cabinets
Interior windows or window tracks
Decluttering or organizing
Laundry or dishes

🧠 Why This Matters

Maintenance cleaning works best when:

The home has already been deep cleaned
Cleanings are scheduled consistently
Expectations match the service

If buildup starts creeping back in, we may recommend a deep clean to reset things — no judgment, just honesty.
