Kitchen
Routine priorities usually include counters, sink, exterior appliance surfaces, stovetop, table or eating area, cabinet fronts as needed, high-touch points and floors.
Bathrooms
Toilet, sink, vanity, mirrors, tub or shower surfaces, fixtures, high-touch points and floors are common recurring priorities. Heavy mineral, soap or mildew buildup may require more time or a deeper scope.
Bedrooms and living spaces
Dust reachable surfaces, tidy within the agreed scope, vacuum or mop floors and address obvious high-touch points. Clutter, laundry and organization are different tasks and should be discussed rather than assumed.
What often belongs in a deep clean?
Baseboards, detailed trim, heavier buildup, more intensive bathroom work, edges and other areas that are not realistic to detail on every maintenance visit.
Use the checklist as a conversation
The best cleaning plan is not the longest checklist. It is the list that matches the home and the priorities you actually care about.
