What Is Included in a Standard House Cleaning? Here’s Exactly What You Get

Voted Best of the Desert

I get this question all the time from people booking with us for the very first time. They want to know exactly what they are paying for before our team ever walks through their door. And honestly, I think that is a great question to ask.

My name is Cris, and I own Cris's Cleaning Services, LLC. We have been serving families across The Valley for over 10 years, and we have earned more than 400 five-star reviews along the way. So let me walk you through exactly what is included in a standard general cleaning — room by room, no surprises.

What does “standard cleaning” actually mean?

Before I get into the details, let me clear something up. A standard cleaning — sometimes called a general or routine cleaning — is meant to maintain a home that is already in good shape. It is not the same as a deep clean. It is the type of visit most families book on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis to keep their home consistently fresh.

So here is exactly what our team covers room by room during every standard cleaning visit.

What is NOT included in a standard cleaning

I think it is just as important to be honest about what is not part of a standard visit. These tasks fall under our deep cleaning service instead, because they take significantly more time and a different level of attention:

I always want my clients to know exactly what they are getting. So if you need any of those deep cleaning items handled, just let us know and we can add a deep clean to your first visit, or schedule one separately.

Why being upfront about this matters to me

Honestly, I think a lot of people get frustrated with cleaning services because they expected something that was never actually included. That is exactly what I am trying to avoid by writing this post. When you book with Cris's Cleaning Services, you know exactly what you are getting before our team ever arrives. There are no surprises, no disappointment, and no awkward conversations after the fact.

"I appreciated that Cris explained exactly what was included before our first visit. No confusion, no surprises. It made me trust the company immediately, and ten years later I am still a client."
