Before we arrive

You'll get a confirmation with your arrival window. Do the quick prep from our prep guide — pick up clutter, secure valuables, arrange access.

The walkthrough

We start with a quick walkthrough of your home. Show us your priorities, point out anything specific (the stove grime, the bathroom grout, the room the kids destroyed), and mention anything fragile or off-limits. This takes five minutes and makes the whole visit better.

During the clean

You can stay or go. If you stay, we'll work around you. Most clients leave — run errands, work from a café, enjoy the break. We'll text when we're done or if we need anything.

After

Walk through with us if you're home — check the work while we're there. If anything's missed, we fix it on the spot. You'll also get notes on anything we noticed (a leaky faucet, mold starting in grout) because we'd want to know.

Then what

Love it? Set up a recurring plan and never think about it again. Just needed once? That's fine too.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will the first visit take?

Longer than recurring visits — we're learning your home. A 2-bed condo might be 3–4 hours for a first deep clean vs 2 for maintenance.

Should I tip on the first visit?

Only if you'd like. See our tipping guide — it's appreciated, never expected.
