Your Cleaning Checklists, Task by Task
Pick the type of cleaning you booked and open it to see the room-by-room list your cleaner works from.
One list, both sides
Expectations are a good thing. Customers and cleaners get this same link, so nobody has to guess what a cleaning includes.
- If you booked a cleaning — this is what your cleaner will do in your home.
- If you are the cleaner — this is the list you work from in every room of that type.
- Not sure which one you booked? Call or text (802) 777-3210 or send us a message from our contact page and we will tell you in a few seconds.

Every task listed is done in every room of that type. Tap a cleaning to open it.
These lists cover what can be reached safely and easily on a normal visit. Areas out of easy or safe reach — the tops of cabinets and refrigerators, high ceilings, and anything that needs a ladder or heavy lifting — are not included.
Our cleanings are designed for regular household buildup, not restoration. Surfaces with heavy buildup, growth or mold may not come fully clean, and any area that raises a health concern may be skipped. Please let us know ahead of time about heavy buildup, hoarding, or anything hazardous.

One-time extras
These are not part of any checklist. Any of them can be added to a standard, deep, or move-in/move-out cleaning for an additional charge. Let us know which ones you would like and we will add them to the cost — there is nothing separate to book.
Before your cleaner arrives
None of this is required, though clear surfaces do get a more thorough cleaning.
- Pick up clutter and personal items from the surfaces you want cleaned
- Cat litter, litter boxes, and animal waste taken care of before the visit — for health and safety reasons your cleaner does not handle these
- Make sure your cleaner can get in and reach every room on the list
- Anything precious or irreplaceable is best tucked away somewhere safe
- If you would like a specific product used in your home, please leave it out for your cleaner
- Let us know ahead of time about heavy buildup, hoarding, or anything hazardous in the home
Booked something else with us too? Our what to expect page walks through how to prepare, service by service.
What is not on the list
Short and honest, so there are no surprises on the day.
- Anything out of easy or safe reach. The tops of cabinets and refrigerators, high ceilings, and anything that needs a ladder or heavy lifting are not part of these lists.
- Restoration-level buildup. Our cleanings are designed for regular household buildup, not restoration. Surfaces with heavy buildup, growth or mold may not come fully clean, and any area that raises a health concern may be skipped.
- Cat litter, litter boxes, and animal waste. For health and safety reasons these are not handled as part of the service.
- Surfaces covered in personal items. If an area scheduled for cleaning is covered, it may be skipped, and the price is not reduced for areas that could not be reached.
- Anything not on the checklist unless it is arranged before the visit.
- Exterior window glass. The extras cover interior glass. Outside glass is our separate window cleaning service.
The full detail lives in our terms and conditions.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a standard, deep, and move-in/move-out cleaning?
A standard cleaning is regular upkeep: dusting, wiping surfaces and appliance fronts, full bathrooms, and floors. A deep cleaning does all of that and adds a degrease pass over fixtures, vents, trim, baseboards, switch plates and doorknobs, plus detailed sink and tub fixtures and grout cleaned within limitations. A move-in/move-out cleaning is the deep cleaning list for an empty home, with the insides of the kitchen and bathroom cabinets included.
Can I add anything to my cleaning?
Yes. Inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, inside kitchen cabinets, interior window glass, wet-wipe window blinds, making beds, and a load of dishes can be added to any cleaning for an additional charge. Tell us which ones you would like when you book, or add them in the notes on the form.
Are there areas the checklist does not cover?
Yes. These lists cover what can be reached safely and easily on a normal visit. The tops of cabinets and refrigerators, high ceilings, and anything that needs a ladder or heavy lifting are not included, and neither are cat litter, litter boxes, or animal waste.
What if something has heavy buildup or mold?
Our cleanings are designed for regular household buildup, not restoration. Surfaces with heavy buildup, growth or mold may not come fully clean, and any area that raises a health concern may be skipped. Please let us know ahead of time about heavy buildup, hoarding, or anything hazardous so we can tell you what we are able to do.
How should I prepare for a cleaning?
Pick up clutter from the surfaces you want cleaned, tuck anything precious somewhere safe, and make sure your cleaner can get to every room on the list. If you would like a specific product used in your home, please leave it out for your cleaner.
What if something is not right?
Let us know within 24 hours of the cleaning and we will do our best to make it right. That is our Quality Promise, and it is the reason we give this same checklist to you and to your cleaner.
Do you bring your own cleaning supplies?
Yes, your cleaner arrives fully equipped. If you would prefer we use specific products in your home, just let us know when you book and we will accommodate where we can.
Book a cleaning
Tell us a little about your home and the cleaning you want — we will get right back to you to confirm your details and price. Want a typical price range? Just ask in the notes.
