10 Nov 2025 What’s Included in a Regular Cleaning (and What You Can Expect Every Visit)
Regular house cleaning keeps your home healthy, fresh, and easy to maintain. When your home is cleaned on a consistent schedule, dust, grime, and buildup never get the chance to settle. As a result, your home feels clean and cared for all the time — not only right after a deep refresh.
A regular house cleaning — also called a recurring, standard, or maintenance cleaning — focuses on the rooms you use most and the surfaces you touch most. Because of this, it keeps your home running smoothly week after week, which means life feels lighter and easier.
This type of visit is different from a deep cleaning. A deep cleaning resets your home by tackling every corner, baseboard, and detail, while regular cleanings maintain that clean. Together, they work as a system: deep cleanings restore, and recurring cleanings preserve.
TL/DR: What’s Included in a Regular House Cleaning
- Regular (recurring) cleanings focus on maintenance, not deep detail work.
- They keep your home fresh, healthy, and easier to maintain.
- They cover kitchens, bathrooms, floors, surfaces, and high-touch areas.
- They do not include time-intensive detail tasks like inside appliances or window washing.
- Regular cleanings help prevent buildup so your home feels consistently clean.

What You Can Expect From a Regular House Cleaning
Throughout the Home
Throughout the home, we focus on the tasks that make the biggest difference day to day.
This includes:
- Dusting furniture, shelves, and décor within reach
- Vacuuming and/or mopping all floors
- Emptying trash bins
- Cleaning mirrors and glass surfaces
- Dusting and cobweb removal from corners and baseboards
- Straightening and tidying visible surfaces
- Sanitizing and disinfecting high-touch surfaces such as light switches and door handles.
We use our PUREcleaning® system, which cleans and disinfects using only electrolyzed water — no harsh chemicals or artificial scents. It’s safe for your family, your pets, and the planet.
Kitchen Cleaning Tasks
Your kitchen is the heart of your home — and it gets used constantly. In the kitchen, our goal is to keep grease, crumbs, and splatters from building up.
We care for:
- Countertops and backsplash
- Inside microwave
- Exterior surfaces of other appliances
- Cabinet fronts and handles (spot-cleaned)
- Sink and faucet
- Floors (vacuumed and mopped)
- Trash emptied
Bathroom Cleaning Tasks
Bathrooms get high traffic, so they need consistent care. By cleaning them on a regular basis, we keep them hygienic and don’t allow moisture, soap buildup or germs to take over.
We clean and sanitize:
- Sinks, toilets, tubs, and showers
- Mirrors and chrome fixtures
- Cabinet fronts and shelving
- Floors
- Trash bins
Our process removes germs and buildup without harsh fumes or residues.
Bedrooms & Living Areas
We help keep your personal spaces tidy and comfortable:
A well-kept bedroom and living spaces change the way your whole home feels.
These areas typically include:
- Dusting furniture, décor, and lamps
- Making beds (if left unmade)
- Vacuuming carpets and under furniture where accessible
- Straightening pillows and cushions
As a result, these finishing touches make rooms feel peaceful and inviting.
What’s Not Included in a Regular House Cleaning (and Why That’s OK)
Regular cleanings are designed to keep your home running smoothly — the weekly or biweekly rhythm that prevents buildup, protects your surfaces, and keeps everything feeling fresh.
Deep cleanings and add-on services, on the other hand, give your home that extra level of detail and attention. They’re perfect when you want a true reset or when certain areas haven’t been touched in a while.
Here are examples of tasks that aren’t typically part of a standard recurring visit:
- Cleaning inside ovens, refrigerators, or cabinets
- Washing windows or blinds
- Hand-wiping all trim, doors, or baseboards
- Scrubbing heavy buildup
- Decluttering or organizing
- Moving heavy furniture
But here’s the good news: every “regular” cleaning can be customized.
If there’s a deeper task you’d like done — whether it’s every visit or just once in a while — it can absolutely be added for an additional charge. That way, you get exactly what your home needs, without paying for tasks you don’t want every time.
Ultimately, this approach keeps regular cleanings efficient and affordable, while still giving you the flexibility to add detail work whenever you want to give your home a little extra glow.
The Big Picture
Regular house cleaning isn’t about perfection — it’s about prevention, consistency, and comfort.
It keeps your home in a healthy rhythm.
It protects your surfaces and indoor air quality.
It saves you time, stress, and the “Sunday night scramble.”
Most of all, it helps your home feel good to live in.
