Recurring vs deep cleaning
Weekly or biweekly service keeps a home consistently clean. Start with a deep clean so recurring visits maintain a fresh baseline.
Eco-friendly options
Ask about low-VOC, fragrance-free, and pet-safe products, plus microfiber cloths and HEPA vacuums that capture Austin’s cedar and oak pollen.
What to ask before hiring
- Are you insured, and are cleaners employees or contractors?
- Will I have a consistent cleaner or team?
- How are keys and alarm codes handled?
- What’s included — and what costs extra?
Room-by-room checklist
- Kitchen: counters, sink, appliance fronts, cabinet faces, floors.
- Bathrooms: tub, shower glass, toilet, mirrors, grout.
- Living areas: dusting high and low, fans, baseboards, floors.
- Bedrooms: linens on request, surfaces, under-bed vacuuming.
Austin seasons
Cedar season in winter and oak pollen in spring call for extra attention to vents, filters, and window sills.
