Standard Cleaning

Standard Cleaning

Standard cleaning is for regular upkeep. It is best for a home that already gets cleaned often. Your cleaner follows our standard checklist so your home looks fresh and clean.

How this is different: a deep clean adds baseboards, light switches, door frames and cabinet fronts, plus extra time on tubs and showers. Moving in or out? Pick a move in / move out clean.

What a Standard Cleaning Covers, Room by Room

Bedrooms and Living Areas: dusting all reachable surfaces, shelves, and picture frames, vacuuming carpets and rugs, mopping hard floors, making beds, wiping down mirrors, and emptying trash cans.

What Costs Extra

A standard cleaning does not include inside the oven (plus $35), inside the fridge (plus $35), interior windows and blinds (plus $30), or extra time for pets in the home (plus $15). Add any of these when you book online, no need to call ahead.

How Often Should You Book?

Most Austin homes stay cleanest on a weekly or every two week schedule, which also comes with a 15 to 20 percent discount versus a one time visit. Monthly works well for smaller households or homes that see less daily use.

Standard Cleaning FAQ

How long does a standard cleaning take?
Most homes take 2 to 3 hours, depending on size and how much detail work is needed.

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
No. Many Maid2Us customers give their cleaner a door code or a lockbox and are not home at all.

What should I do before the cleaner arrives?
Pick up clothes, dishes, and clutter from surfaces and floors so the cleaner can spend their time actually cleaning instead of organizing.
