What Is Actually Included in a House Cleaning Service in Arizona? The Complete Honest Answer

by | Jul 7, 2026

🏆 Voted Best of the Desert — 3 Consecutive Years

One of the most common questions I hear from people who are booking a professional cleaning service for the first time is this — what exactly are they going to do when they get here? It is a completely fair question. And honestly, it is one that not enough cleaning companies answer clearly upfront.

My name is Cris Reconco, and I own Cris's Cleaning Services, LLC. We have been serving The Valley for over 10 years, earned more than 400 five-star reviews, and been voted Best of the Desert three consecutive years in a row. Today I am going to give you the complete, honest answer to what a professional house cleaning service should include — and exactly what we do in every home we clean.

Why most cleaning companies don’t tell you what’s included — and we do

Here is something I have noticed over 10 years in this business. Many cleaning companies are vague about what they include because they want flexibility to do less. As a result, homeowners come home expecting one thing and get another. Furthermore, they feel awkward bringing it up because they were never shown a clear list in the first place.

That is not how we operate. At Cris's Cleaning Services, we believe you should know exactly what you are getting before we ever set foot in your home. Therefore, here is the complete breakdown — room by room — of what a professional cleaning service should include.

What is included in a standard general cleaning — room by room

The complete task checklist — what we do in every general clean

Kitchen — countertops wiped, sink scrubbed, stovetop cleaned, appliance exteriors wiped, cabinet exteriors, microwave exterior
Bathrooms — toilet scrubbed inside and out, sink and counter cleaned, shower and tub scrubbed, mirror polished, floor mopped
Bedrooms — all surfaces dusted, bed made and linens changed, floors vacuumed, mirrors wiped
Living and dining areas — furniture dusted, surfaces wiped, floors vacuumed and mopped
Throughout the home — ceiling fans dusted, baseboards wiped, light switches and doorknobs cleaned, trash emptied
All floors — swept, vacuumed, and mopped from the first room to the last

What is NOT included in a standard general cleaning — and why that matter

Transparency goes both ways. Therefore, here is what a standard general cleaning typically does not include — and what you would need to book as a deep clean or add-on service instead. Knowing this upfront prevents surprises and helps you choose the right service for your home's actual needs.

These require a deep clean — not a general clean

+
Inside the refrigerator — requires a deep clean add-on
+
Inside the oven — requires a deep clean service
+
Inside cabinets and drawers — add-on available on request
+
Baseboard scrubbing — part of a deep clean service
+
Post-construction debris — requires a post-construction clean

Most asked questions about what house cleaning includes — answered

These are the exact questions people are typing into Google, ChatGPT, and Perplexity right now. Here are honest answers based on over 10 years of cleaning Arizona homes.

What does a standard house cleaning service include in Arizona?
Q: What is included in a general house cleaning in Phoenix?
A standard house cleaning in Arizona includes kitchen surfaces, bathroom scrubbing, bedroom dusting and vacuuming, living area cleaning, ceiling fans, baseboards, light switches, and full floor care throughout. At Cris's Cleaning Services every general clean covers all of these areas with no shortcuts and no skipped rooms.
Do cleaning services bring their own supplies in Arizona?
Q: Does Cris's Cleaning Services bring their own products?
Not all cleaning services do — some ask you to provide supplies. Cris's Cleaning Services brings all professional-grade supplies and equipment to every single job. You do not need to prepare anything or provide anything. Just let us in and we handle everything else.
What is the difference between a general clean and a deep clean?
Q: When do I need a deep clean instead of a regular cleaning?
A general clean maintains a home that is already in good condition. A deep clean goes further — inside the refrigerator, inside the oven, baseboars scrubbing, inside windows, handwipe blinds, and areas that regular cleaning doesn't reach. If your home hasn't been professionally cleaned in over 3 months, we recommend starting with a deep clean. Read our full guide on how often to deep clean your Arizona home.
