Standard Cleaning in Clackamas, OR
A standard cleaning is the everyday reset your home needs between busy weeks.
A standard cleaning is the everyday reset your home needs between busy weeks. Our cleaners work room by room through the living spaces, kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms, focusing on the surfaces you touch and see most so the whole house feels lighter when you walk back in the door.
It is the most popular starting point for Clackamas households because it covers the essentials without the extra hours a deep clean needs. Many customers start with a standard visit, see how their home responds, and then decide whether to make it a regular habit.

Who it's for
Standard cleaning fits homes that are already in reasonable shape and just need consistent upkeep: working parents, couples with long commutes up I-205, people who travel for work, and anyone who would rather spend Saturday at Clackamas River parks than scrubbing a shower.
Before your visit
Before your visit, pick up loose items from floors and counters so the cleaner can spend their time cleaning instead of moving things. Let us know about any rooms you would like skipped, delicate surfaces, or products you prefer us to use or avoid.
How standard cleaning differs from our other services
Standard cleaning is the baseline every other service is measured against. Unlike a deep clean, it does not chase baseboards, grout lines or the tops of cabinets; it keeps the surfaces you use daily looking cared for. Unlike recurring service, it carries no schedule, so you can book it once before guests arrive or whenever the week gets away from you. If a standard visit feels like exactly what you needed, that is usually the signal to put it on a calendar.

What a standard cleaning visit looks like
We begin with a quick check of anything you flagged when you booked. For this service, that usually means starting with dusting reachable surfaces, shelves, sills and décor and wiping kitchen counters, sink, stovetop and appliance fronts, then cleaning and sanitizing toilets, tubs, showers and bathroom sinks. Floors come last so nothing is tracked across clean surfaces. Before leaving, your cleaner walks the home once more against the checklist.
Good to know
A standard clean is designed for homes that are already in reasonable shape. If it has been a few months since your last professional visit, we may suggest a deep clean first so the standard visits that follow can keep up.

Standard Cleaning questions
What is the difference between a standard and a deep cleaning?
A standard clean covers the visible, high-use surfaces. A deep clean adds detail work like baseboards, cabinet fronts, door frames and built-up grime. If your home has not been professionally cleaned in a while, we usually suggest starting with a deep clean.
Do I need to be home during a standard cleaning?
No. Many customers arrange access ahead of time. Just let us know how to get in and any notes about pets or alarm systems.
Can I customize what gets cleaned?
Yes. Tell us which rooms matter most and we will prioritize them during the visit.
How do I get a price?
Call us or use the contact page for a free quote based on the size of your home and what you want included.
How long does a standard cleaning take?
It depends on the size and condition of the home. We estimate the time when we quote, after you tell us bedrooms, bathrooms and any priority rooms.
Is a standard clean enough after a long gap?
Usually not. If it has been months since a professional clean, a deep clean first gives standard visits something to maintain.
