The whole checklist, written down

This is the list our cleaners actually work from. Read it before booking so nothing on the day is a surprise in either direction.

Kitchen

About 35 minutes

Every visit

  • Counters and backsplash wiped, including under the toaster and kettle
  • Sink scrubbed, drain and tap descaled
  • Stovetop degreased, grates lifted and cleaned underneath
  • Exterior of fridge, oven, dishwasher and microwave
  • Microwave cleaned inside
  • Table and chairs wiped, chair legs included
  • Bin emptied, liner replaced, lid wiped
  • Floor vacuumed and mopped, including under the table

A deep clean adds

  • Cabinet fronts degreased, handles included
  • Extractor hood and filter cleaned
  • Top of the fridge and cabinets dusted
  • Skirting and door frames hand wiped
  • Behind the fridge where it rolls out

Inside the oven and inside the fridge are add-ons rather than standard, because they can each take half an hour.

Bathrooms

About 25 minutes each

Every visit

  • Shower and tub scrubbed, including the door track
  • Glass and chrome descaled for hard water film
  • Toilet cleaned inside and out, including the base and behind
  • Sink, counter and taps
  • Mirror polished streak free
  • Towels straightened or replaced if you leave fresh ones out
  • Bin emptied, floor vacuumed and mopped

A deep clean adds

  • Grout lines brushed rather than wiped
  • Silicone seals cleaned and checked for mildew
  • Extractor fan cover cleaned
  • Skirting, door frame and switch plate wiped
  • Under the sink pedestal and behind the door

Williamson County water leaves a film on glass within weeks, so descaling is standard on every visit rather than an extra.

Bedrooms

About 15 minutes each

Every visit

  • Bed made, or linens changed if you leave a fresh set out
  • All surfaces dusted, including lamps and picture frames
  • Mirrors and glass wiped
  • Bins emptied
  • Floor vacuumed, hard floors mopped

A deep clean adds

  • Under the bed vacuumed
  • Headboard and bed frame wiped
  • Skirting and door frames hand wiped
  • Ceiling fan blades and light fittings
  • Window sills and interior glass

Living areas

About 20 minutes

Every visit

  • All surfaces dusted, including shelves and electronics
  • Cushions straightened, throws folded
  • Under the sofa cushions vacuumed
  • Glass tables and mirrors polished
  • Floor vacuumed, hard floors mopped

A deep clean adds

  • Under and behind the sofa
  • Skirting, door frames and switch plates
  • Ceiling fan blades, light fittings and cobwebs
  • Window sills, tracks and interior glass
  • Blinds dusted slat by slat

Entry, stairs and hallways

About 10 minutes

Every visit

  • Door handles, light switches and banisters wiped
  • Shoe area tidied and vacuumed
  • Mirrors and console surfaces
  • Stairs vacuumed including the edges

A deep clean adds

  • Skirting the full length of the hallway
  • Door frames and the tops of doors
  • Cobwebs in the stairwell corners

Laundry and utility

About 10 minutes

Every visit

  • Exterior of the washer and dryer
  • Counter and sink if there is one
  • Lint trap emptied
  • Floor vacuumed and mopped

A deep clean adds

  • Behind and between the machines
  • Detergent shelf cleared and wiped
  • Skirting and door frame

Wash and fold is a separate add-on. If you book it we run up to two loads while we are cleaning the rest of the house.

What we do not do

Every cleaning company has a list like this. Most of them keep it in a terms page nobody reads.

  • Exterior windows above the ground floor

    It needs ladder work and a different insurance policy.

  • Mould remediation

    Surface mildew yes. Anything behind tile or drywall needs a specialist.

  • Pest control and animal waste

    Not something our team is equipped or trained for.

  • Carpet shampooing or steam cleaning

    We can recommend two Austin firms who do it properly.

  • Decluttering and organising

    We will not make decisions about your things. Tidying around them, yes.

  • Anything above two steps on a ladder

    A safety rule we do not bend, including for high light fittings.

That is the whole list.

If something you need is not on it, ask before booking rather than on the day. We answer the phone.

Or call (512) 704-3188, weekdays 7:30 to 6.
