Professional House Cleaning Service Checklist

See exactly what is included in a standard, deep, and move out clean, plus every add-on and what it costs.

Expert House Cleaning Service Checklist

Our professional house cleaning service checklist covers every room of your Arizona home.

We break it down by service type so you know exactly what to expect: standard cleaning (routine recurring maintenance), the Deep / First-Time Clean (thorough first-time or periodic intensive cleaning), and move-in / move-out cleaning (complete property reset).

See your price and book

  • The overall condition of your home determines the pace of your cleaning.
    Cleaners usually start with the areas needing the most attention, typically kitchens and bathrooms.
    If your home hasn't had a professional clean in the last 30 days, we highly recommend the Deep / First-Time Clean on the first visit.
    It gives your cleaner time to set a proper baseline.
    After that, standard cleanings keep everything maintained.
  • Take a look below at our standard cleaning checklist, Deep / First-Time Clean checklist, and our move-in/move-out cleaning checklist.

Airbnb / Vacation Rental Turnovers

Every Airbnb and vacation rental turnover gets everything on this checklist, including all the extras, so the home is like a brand new house someone is moving into.

Special requests, like blood, waste or pests, aren't included and are priced separately.

Your cleaner takes care of anything they see.

See every item in the Airbnb / Vacation Rental Turnover column of the checklist above.

On every turnover, we also:

  • Strip the beds, wash, dry and fold the sheets and towels, and remake the beds
  • Set out clean towels
  • Do the dishes
  • Clean out the fridge and the coffee maker
  • Refill shampoo, conditioner and body wash from your supplies, and restock the other guest supplies you leave on site
  • Check for visible damage or leaks and report them to you
  • Text you a list of anything running low
  • Set the thermostat the way you ask and lock up
  • Take before and after pictures of every room, and share them with you when you ask for them

Laundry and dishes are included in the host rate.

Laundry covers linens and towels only, not personal clothing.

The host rate is 30% off the standard rate with at least 2 turnovers a month, rounded up to the next $5.

Code 5off does not apply to the host rate.

With fewer than 2 turnovers a month, the standard price for the rooms and extras applies, rounded up to the next $5.

Send your linen, laundry and restocking plan when you book, so your cleaner knows what to expect.
