House Cleaning Service: the Standard Clean for Every Home

Standard house cleaning for a home that is lived in

Standard house cleaning is the routine visit for an occupied home in the Atlanta metro. It covers dusting, glass, floors, the outside of the kitchen and the bathrooms in one pass. Some companies call it a maid service; the full checklist is on this page. Online it is the One Time Cleaning service type, a one-time cleaning sized by the rooms in the home, and the total shows before you confirm. Choose it when the home is in normal use and nothing has built up for months.

Where the standard visit stops

The list is short at the edges on purpose. Windows, blinds and baseboards are left out. So is the inside of the refrigerator, the oven and the cabinets. What it does cover is everything you touch and see in a normal week: the ceiling fans and vents, the mirrors and glass shelves, the door frames and door knobs. In the kitchen it means the stove top, the microwave inside and out, and the outside of the dishwasher and refrigerator with a product made for stainless steel. In each bath the team does the shower, sink, tile and toilet, polishes the glass and the tap fixtures, and finishes the surfaces with antibacterial spray. Floors are vacuumed with two vacuum cleaners and finished with a wet and dry mop.

Choosing the size and the price

Sizes run from one bedroom and one bath to four bedrooms with two and a half baths. Cleaning companies size a visit in different ways; here it is the room count. Count the rooms people sleep in and the baths that get cleaned; a home office with a bed in it counts. Pricing follows the same count: one flat-rate price per size plus any extras, not an hourly rate. The cleaning cost calculator shows it in advance. The online sizes for the standard list stop at four bedrooms. For a larger home, the deep list runs to six, or call or email info@bozmancleaning.com with the ZIP and the room count.

Extras worth adding to a standard visit

Six extras let you customize the visit, each chosen online, not on the day. The inside of the fridge or freezer, of the oven or a double oven, and of the kitchen cabinets turn the exterior-only kitchen into a full one. A full sink of dishes gets washed and left on a rack or towel by the sink; baking dishes are excluded. The pet extra, for one dog or cat, adds vacuuming near the baseboards, under furniture and in the crevices where hair collects. Leave it off and that hair stays where the regular vacuum pass does not reach.

Notes, photos and the start time

The online form prompts you for the size, then the extras, then a fixed start time that fits your schedule. The team arrives at that time. Before you confirm, the notes field takes up to 2,000 characters: the gate code, where to park, the cat that hides under the bed. Families with young children can name a room to do first or one to leave until later. Questions about supplies and equipment go there too. You can upload photos of the kitchen or a stained shower, so the cleaning professionals see the job before the day. No payment is taken at booking; the total for your size is shown, and you confirm it. Then let the team take care of the cleaning.

Products, offices and what is not online

If you want eco-friendly home cleaning, or a product whose fume bothers someone in the house kept out, write which cleaning products to use or avoid in the notes and name the surfaces involved. Offices and light commercial spaces are not sold on this page. They need a separate scope covering rooms, access, frequency and operating hours, so contact us before you pick a date.

Apartments, condos and townhomes

The same home cleaning service runs in an apartment or a condo, sized the same way as a house. Tailor the notes to the building: the buzzer, the elevator key, the visitor parking. A condo with hard floors throughout still gets the full floor routine with both vacuum cleaners.

How to compare cleaning companies

Most cleaning ads promise a friendly, trusted team, peace of mind and a crew that will make it right. None of that can be checked before the first visit. A list can. Ask any maid service you are comparing three questions:

• Which surfaces are named, and which are left out? Here it is the checklist above, plus the three it skips: windows, blinds and baseboards.
• How is the price set? Here by size and extras, shown before you confirm.
• What happens if an item is missed? Ask whether they re-clean and how you request it. Here you raise it at the walk-through, while the team is still in the home.

Standard, deep or move-out cleaning: which one

The standard visit suits a home that is kept tidy and needs the routine done well. Some homes need more, once. If the blinds are furred, the baseboards have not been wiped in a season and the bathtub tile needs more than a cloth, choose a one-time deep visit under deep cleaning and return to the standard list afterwards. If it is an empty home and the keys are changing hands, move-out cleaning is the right list, and it serves as the move-in clean before the furniture arrives. It reaches inside every cabinet and the oven, which the standard visit never does.

After the first visit

One clean is a reset. No list keeps a home spotless for good; how long a clean house stays that way depends on the interval you choose next. Visits every week, every two weeks or every month on the same list are the recurring service, described under recurring cleaning. There are no cleaning plans to sign: recurring cleanings are each scheduled on their own, at the same size and the fixed start time you prefer. A home with a shedding dog gets more from visits every two weeks with the pet extra. A two-adult home with no pets can try monthly cleaning first and shorten the gap if the floors do not hold.
