01 · The checklist

Every item we hit on a deep clean.

75 items across 6 areas of your home. This is the standard the team works from, published in full. If we miss something on the list, we come back and finish it. No follow-up tickets, no charge.

Before we leave

6 items

Lead walks the entire house with the checklist in hand
Any spot that's not up to standard is fixed on the spot, not next visit
Photos taken of any pre-existing issues flagged at the walkthrough
All cleaning supplies removed; nothing left behind
Lights off, doors locked or returned to whatever state we found them
Quick note left on the counter with anything we noticed during the visit

This is what an actual deep clean looks like.

If you’ve been paying for a “deep clean” that skipped most of this, you weren’t getting a deep clean. You were getting a checklist with a fancy name. We’re trying to be honest about that.
