The reset visit: baseboards, grout, cabinet tops, inside the oven, the tracks and the trim. Quoted from square footage before anyone starts.
A deep clean is the 45-point list plus the hand time: baseboards wiped, tile grout scrubbed, cabinet tops and door fronts, inside the oven and the fridge on request, window tracks, stair detail, and the corners a standard pass rides past. Colonials and tudors with original trim sit at the top of the range because detail trim is real labor, and the quote counts it up front.
The rhythm. Most homes need one deep clean to start, then standard visits hold the line. Homes with pets or kids on wood floors often repeat it twice a year.
$225 to $405 for most homes, set by square footage and detail trim. The number is written before booking.
If a home has gone months without a professional clean, yes. The first visit gets to zero; the recurring visits keep it there.
Hand time. Same rooms, deeper list: grout, baseboards, cabinet tops, tracks, trim. About double the hours, quoted flat.
