When asking my customers what they are looking for in a cleaning service, I often get this response: Home cleaning is all the same isn’t it? And the answer is yes and no. The end result may be very similar but depending on your needs, that will determine the approach a cleaning professional will take. I have identified 4 types of services that most cleans fall into:
1. Move-out/Move-in clean. These are very similar because in both cases, the home is being brought up to a healthy standard for the new owner or tenant. This is accomplished by disinfecting and removing any buildup in all the surfaces in kitchen and restrooms as well as cleaning light switches and doorknobs, the mayority of the time we suggest the customer to include the cleaning of the inside of closets, cabinets, drawers, fridge and oven and windows.

2. Spring clean/Deep clean. Besides the basics we all know like vacuuming and dusting, there is the build up to consider. By this I mean the dust on door frames, window sills, ceiling fans and baseboards. Soap scum and in some cases mold needs to be removed.
3. Recurring clean/Maintenance clean. Once you’ve had your deep home cleaning done by a reliable Boston cleaning service, it is time to keep it clean! This means setting up a schedule that is convenient for you and will allow you to enjoy your summer.
4. After construction/Remodel clean. This type of clean also requires a detailed approach due to all the dust and debris generated by the construction. This dust can get into some places that are not in the scope of work for your cleaning service. Be sure to specify and be on the same page with the contractor and the company in charge of the clean so there will be no misunderstandings later.
