Scope

What a standard cleaning visit covers

A residential cleaning visit covers the rooms people use every day: kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas. The team wipes counters and appliance exteriors, cleans sinks and mirrors, empties trash, and dusts surfaces within reach. Floors get vacuumed and mopped, and beds get made if linens are already on them.

The exact list depends on the size of the home and how many rooms are occupied. A one-bedroom apartment and a five-bedroom house both get the same attention to detail, just spread across more square footage. Closets, garages, and locked rooms are skipped unless a client asks ahead of time.

Options

Regular, deep, and move-out cleaning

Regular cleaning is the recurring visit most homes book weekly, biweekly, or monthly, priced at $125. It resets the same baseline each time: counters and sinks wiped, floors vacuumed and mopped, bathrooms cleaned, trash emptied, and beds made if linens are already in place.

Deep cleaning, at $139, goes further into buildup that regular visits do not reach: baseboards, window sills, inside the microwave, behind toilets, and grout lines. It is a good starting point before switching to a recurring schedule, or a once-a-year reset.

Move-out cleaning is priced at $185 and is built for empty units: cabinets and drawers inside and out, appliance interiors, closets, and every wall switch and vent cover, so the space is ready for a final walkthrough or a new tenant.

Limits

What is outside the scope of a cleaning visit

A cleaning visit is not a repair call or a moving service. The team does not move heavy furniture, fix fixtures, or work outside the home's interior. Anything that needs a different license or a different set of tools falls outside a standard booking.

Carpet shampooing is one example: it needs a machine and a drying process a regular cleaning visit does not include, so it is handled by a separate carpet cleaning company, not by us. If a home has wall-to-wall carpet, floors around it are still vacuumed as part of the visit.

Areas

Service in Glendale, Culver City, and Santa Monica

Homes in Glendale, Culver City, and Santa Monica range from older single-family houses to newer apartment buildings, and the booking process is the same for all of them: pick a date, note the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and choose regular, deep, or move-out service.

Recurring clients in these areas usually start with a deep cleaning to set a baseline, then move to a regular schedule after that first visit. Scheduling can be adjusted or paused between visits without losing the recurring rate.

FAQs

Quick Answers.

What is included in a standard residential cleaning?

Kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas are wiped down, dusted, vacuumed, and mopped. Trash is emptied and mirrors and sinks are cleaned. The scope stays the same regardless of home size, just spread across more rooms.

How much does residential cleaning cost?

Regular cleaning is $125 per visit, deep cleaning is $139, and move-out cleaning is $185. The price depends on which service is booked, not on which neighborhood the home is in.

What is the difference between regular and deep cleaning?

Regular cleaning, at $125, maintains a home that is already in good shape. Deep cleaning, at $139, reaches buildup regular visits skip, like baseboards, window sills, and behind toilets, and works well as a first visit.

Do you clean carpets?

No. Carpet shampooing needs different equipment and a drying process, so it is handled by a separate carpet cleaning company. A regular cleaning visit still vacuums carpeted floors as part of the standard scope.

Do you serve Glendale, Culver City, and Santa Monica?

Yes. Homes in all three areas are booked the same way: choose a date, list bedrooms and bathrooms, and pick regular, deep, or move-out cleaning based on the home's current condition.

What does move-out cleaning cover that regular cleaning does not?

Move-out cleaning, at $185, covers empty units in full: inside cabinets and drawers, appliance interiors, closets, and vent covers, so the space is ready for a walkthrough or a new tenant.
