What is a standard house cleaning?

A full clean of a home that is already kept up: kitchens and bathrooms cleaned and disinfected, every room dusted including ceiling fans, beds made, trash out and all floors vacuumed and mopped.

What's the difference between a standard and a deep clean?

A deep clean includes everything in a standard clean, then reaches buildup: tile grout, hand-wiped baseboards and door frames, the range hood, inside the microwave, vents and behind movable furniture. It takes about half again as long.

Do you clean inside the oven and fridge in a standard clean?

Not by default. Both are add-ons you can choose when you book.

Do you change the sheets?

We make every bed. Leave fresh sheets out and we'll put them on.

Do I need to provide supplies?

No. Supplies and equipment are included. Plant-based products are available on request.

Can I book a standard clean just once?

Yes. One-time standard cleans are available with no commitment. Recurring visits cost less per visit.

Do I need to be home?

No. Most clients leave a key, a lockbox or a door code.

What if something is missed?

Tell us within 24 hours and we'll come back and fix it at no charge.

What is standard cleaning?

A standard house cleaning is a top-to-bottom clean of a home that is already kept up: kitchens and bathrooms cleaned and disinfected, every room dusted, beds made, trash out, and all floors vacuumed and mopped. Standard Cleaning from Palm Beach Clean Pro takes 2 to 3 hours and is best for homes that are lived in and tidied regularly. It starts at $89, with supplies, equipment and insurance included. Every visit follows a written checklist and is done by a vetted, insured cleaner in Palm Beach County.

It is the clean most homes need most of the time. It does not chase months of buildup in grout or behind appliances; that is what a deep clean is for. Instead it keeps a lived-in home consistently clean, room by room, in the same order every visit, so nothing gets skipped. In Palm Beach County it is the service most people mean when they say "house cleaning", and it is the base that recurring maid service repeats on a schedule.

When to book standard cleaning

When to book standard cleaning
Your situation	Why it fits
Your home was professionally cleaned in the last month or two	There is no heavy buildup, so a standard clean restores it fully
You want a clean home before guests or a busy week	Fast, predictable, and covers every room people see
You are trying a cleaner before committing to a schedule	A one-time standard clean shows you the work without a plan
You keep up with daily tidying but not the scrubbing	Bathrooms, kitchens and floors are where a standard clean focuses
It has been more than three months	Book a deep clean first; a standard clean will not catch up on buildup

How a standard cleaning visit works

1
Walk-through. The cleaner confirms your priorities, pets and any surfaces that need special products.
2
Bathrooms first. Showers and tubs are sprayed so the cleaner can soak them while other surfaces are worked on.
3
Kitchen. Counters, backsplash, sink, stovetop, appliance fronts, cabinet fronts and the table.
4
Bedrooms and living areas. Top to bottom: ceiling fans and light fixtures, surfaces, mirrors, beds made, cushions arranged.
5
Floors last. Vacuum, then mop hard floors, working toward the door so nothing is re-dirtied.
6
Final check. Switches and doorknobs, trash out, and a quick walk-through of every room.

Every task, room by room, is in our house cleaning checklist.

Standard Cleaning in Palm Beach County: what's different

Humidity in bathrooms

Many Florida bathrooms have no window, so showers stay damp and mildew starts in grout. A standard clean disinfects and dries showers every visit; grout scrubbing belongs in a deep clean.

Sand at every door

Beach and yard sand comes in on shoes and collects in entries and sliding-door tracks. Floors and entryways get attention on every visit.

Ceiling fans run all year

With fans on most of the year, blades collect dust quickly. We dust ceiling fans on every standard clean.

Tile, stone and terrazzo floors

Most Palm Beach County homes have hard floors. We use pH-neutral products on stone and terrazzo, which acidic cleaners can etch.

Common mistakes to avoid

Booking a standard clean after months without one, then being disappointed it didn't remove buildup
Comparing an hourly quote with a flat price without asking how many hours and cleaners are included
Leaving clutter on every surface, so the visit goes to tidying instead of cleaning
Not mentioning stone or wood floors, which need specific products

How to prepare

Pick up clothes, toys, dishes and mail from floors and counters
Leave fresh sheets on the bed if you want them changed
Tell us about pets and whether they should stay in a room
Name your top two priorities for the visit
Arrange access: key, lockbox, door code or gate code
