What's Included
What's included —
and what isn't.
The most common question people ask before booking a cleaner.
Read this first. This page shows what each type of clean usually covers. The exact scope for your home is agreed at your free estimate, before anything is booked or paid for.
Every visit
You supply nothing.
- All cleaning products — she brings her own.
- All equipment — nothing comes out of your cupboard.
- The same cleaner — Astrid, every visit.
Kitchen
Where most of the time goes.
- Counters and backsplash wiped down
- Sink cleaned and fixtures polished
- Exterior of appliances — refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, microwave
- Microwave interior
- Cabinet fronts, handles and pulls
- Table and chairs
- Floors vacuumed and mopped
- Bins emptied
Bathrooms
The room people judge you on.
- Toilets cleaned inside, outside and behind
- Showers and tubs scrubbed, including doors and tracks
- Sinks, counters and fixtures
- Mirrors and glass
- Cabinet fronts and handles
- Floors vacuumed and mopped
Bedrooms & living areas
Dust, surfaces, floors.
- All accessible surfaces dusted
- Mirrors and glass
- Furniture wiped where appropriate
- Beds made, or linens changed if you leave them out
- Floors vacuumed; hard floors mopped
- Cushions straightened, room left presentable
On a deep clean
Everything above, plus the built-up parts.
- Baseboards, door frames and doors wiped
- Light switches, handles and railings
- Window sills and tracks, interior side
- Built-up soap scum, limescale and grout lines
- Behind and around fixtures and appliances where reachable
What isn't included
- Anything that needs specialist equipment or a trade, like carpet and upholstery shampooing, floor refinishing or pressure washing.
- Exterior windows above ground level. Interior windows and sills are included, but not ladders or second storeys.
- Post-construction or post-renovation clean-up. Drywall dust is a different job with different equipment.
- Heavy lifting. She won't move furniture that takes two people, or anything she could damage or be hurt by.
- Clutter, laundry and dishes, unless you ask. If you'd like them included, say so when she quotes and she'll allow time for it.
- Biohazards, mould remediation, pest issues and animal waste. Call a specialist for those.
Add something, or leave something out
Want the inside of the oven done, or the fridge emptied and wiped? Ask. Want her to skip the basement because nobody goes down there? That's less time, and it comes off the quote. Say so at the estimate, not mid-visit.
