Before & After: House Cleaning.

These are real homes we cleaned in Los Angeles, photographed the same day — kitchens, living rooms, a home office, the inside of an oven and a refrigerator. Nothing here is staged and nothing is a stock photo. This is what a standard house cleaning visit leaves behind: surfaces cleared and wiped, appliance fronts done, floors finished last so nothing gets walked back over.

If a home has not been cleaned professionally in a while, the first visit is a reset rather than upkeep — that is a deep clean, and the difference is visible in the next gallery.
