Standard house cleaning in NYC and the Carolina Triangle
A standard clean is the recurring visit that keeps a home level. We clean the kitchen, every bathroom, all floors, and the surfaces you touch daily, then take the trash out. It is the right choice for a home that is already in reasonable order and needs to stay that way.
Most people book this every two weeks. That cadence works because the dirt never gets far enough ahead of you to need a bigger job. Weekly suits homes with children, pets, or people who work from the kitchen table; monthly suits a quiet one-bedroom.
If your home has not been cleaned professionally in a while, we usually suggest one deep clean first and then standard visits after it. It is cheaper over a year than repeatedly paying for a standard clean that cannot quite catch up.

Answers before you call.
How often should I book a standard clean?
Every two weeks suits most homes. Weekly is worth it if you have children, pets, or work from home, because kitchens and bathrooms take the heaviest use. Monthly works for a quiet one-bedroom, though expect the first visit after a long gap to take longer.
Will I get the same cleaner each time?
On a recurring plan, yes, wherever scheduling allows. It matters more than people expect — a cleaner who already knows which cupboard the vacuum lives in and which floor to keep dry works faster and misses less.
What if my home needs more than a standard clean?
We will tell you at the quote stage rather than turning up and running out of time. If a standard clean will not cover it, we recommend a deep clean first and standard visits afterwards.
Do I need to tidy before you arrive?
Clearing surfaces helps, because a cleaner who spends twenty minutes moving your post is not cleaning. But you do not need to tidy properly — that would rather defeat the point.
