How It Works
How a Deep Cleaning Visit Runs
We work from the top of the room down, dry work before wet, finishing one room before starting the next. High surfaces come first, so dust from fan blades, light fixtures, and vent covers falls onto surfaces still to be cleaned. Then the detail a routine visit passes over: switch plates, door frames, window sills and tracks, cabinet faces, and baseboards worked by hand.
Kitchens and bathrooms take the longest: appliance exteriors, the backsplash, fixtures, the shower and tub surround, and tile and grout. Furniture is moved wherever it can be moved without risk of damage, so we reach behind and underneath. Floors go last, vacuumed and then mopped on the way out.

What Makes One Deep Clean Bigger Than Another
Two homes of the same size can be very different jobs. What moves the hours:
- Square footage, and how many rooms are genuinely in use.
- The number of bathrooms, the slowest rooms in most houses.
- How long since the last deep clean, and whether pets live there.
- How much is sitting on the surfaces, since a counter must be cleared before it is cleaned.
- Add-ons such as interior windows, inside the refrigerator, or inside the oven.
Before We Arrive
How to Get Your Home Ready
You do not need to clean first or buy anything: all products and equipment are provided. A little prep just lets us clean rather than tidy.
Clear counters and nightstands of small items. Point out surfaces that need a specific product, such as natural stone or unsealed wood. If you would rather we used something in particular, ask and we will accommodate it. Tell us what you would rather we did not move, and where pets should be.
Our Services
Deep Cleaning or One of Our Other Services?
Deep cleaning is for a lived-in home that needs a reset. Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning is for an empty home at handover, where cabinet and appliance interiors matter as much as the rooms. New/Post-Construction Cleaning handles the fine dust left after a build. Residential House Cleaning is upkeep on your schedule.

What Goes Into Your Quote
We do not price deep cleaning off a list, because no two homes take the same work. The factors above move the estimate, along with the service type and whether this is a one-time visit or the first of a recurring plan. Homes on a regular schedule stay closer to finished, so later visits are usually smaller jobs. Estimates are free, built around your home, and carry no obligation.

208 595 7773How is a deep cleaning different from your regular house cleaning?
Regular cleaning maintains a home already in reasonable shape. A deep clean goes after build-up: window sills and tracks, cabinet fronts, tile and grout, vent covers, and behind furniture.
How long does a deep cleaning take?
Longer than a routine visit. How much longer depends on the size of the home, the number of bathrooms, and how long since the last thorough cleaning. We tell you when we quote.
How often should a home get a deep cleaning?
That is your choice. Homes with pets, children, or heavy foot traffic tend to need one more often. Many people book one before guests arrive, or to start a recurring plan.
Do you move furniture to clean behind it?
We move what can be moved without risk of damage, so we reach behind and underneath rather than around. Mention any heavy piece you want reached when we quote.
Do I have to be home while you clean?
Either way works. Tell us how you would like us to get in and out. Cleanings are scheduled Monday through Friday, office hours 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Can I add interior windows or inside the refrigerator?
Yes. Those, the inside of the oven, and inside cabinets are common additions. Mention them when you request your quote so the estimate covers them.
