Good to know

  • Standard is about the surface of the home, not the depth. Built-up grime, grout and hard water belong to the Deluxe Deep Clean, which also includes interior windows (an add-on in Standard).
  • Light tidying is included; heavier organizing is an add-on.
  • For safety we use up to a 2-step ladder; higher areas are dusted with an extension duster.
  • We don’t move heavy appliances.
  • A quick tidy before we arrive (laundry, paperwork, toys) lets the team spend every minute cleaning.

Our promise

Free re-clean, reported within 24 hours.

If anything on your checklist isn’t right, tell us within 24 hours and our team will return at the next available time to re-clean it at no charge. We don’t issue refunds; we return and make it right.

Your rhythm

Why we recommend biweekly cleaning.

Biweekly is the sweet spot for most San Francisco homes, and the most popular choice among our clients. Every two weeks is frequent enough that dust, kitchen grease and soap scum never build up, so each visit keeps your home at its best. Weekly visits suit busy households with kids and pets, and monthly service works well for lighter-use homes, with a little more buildup to handle between visits.

Weekly

Always guest-ready

For busy households, children and pets. Your home never has time to slip.

Recommended

Every 2 weeks

The balanced rhythm

Consistently fresh, with room to live in between. Our recommendation and our clients’ favorite.

Monthly · every 4 weeks

A monthly refresh

For lighter-use homes that want a regular professional reset.

No long-term contracts. You don’t need to be home: a lockbox, key or access code works. Simple payment with a credit card on file.

FAQ

Standard cleaning in San Francisco, answered.

Is there a long-term contract?

No. Our recurring service has no long-term contract.

What’s the difference between biweekly and monthly cleaning?

Biweekly visits happen every two weeks and keep buildup to a minimum. That’s why we recommend it. Monthly visits happen once a month and suit homes with lighter use.

Do you make the beds?

During maintenance visits we make the master bed and do light tidying. Let us know your preferences and we’ll note them for every visit.

Are windows included in recurring cleaning?

Interior windows are included in the Deluxe Deep Clean and in move-in/move-out cleaning. For maintenance visits, interior windows are available as an add-on. Exterior windows are not included.

What if I have pets?

Friendly pets are welcome. If they’re nervous, just secure them during the visit. Our products are non-toxic and pet-safe.

Is my first visit a Standard Cleaning?

No. Your first visit is our Deluxe Top-to-Bottom Deep Clean, which brings every room up to the Royal Glow standard, including the high and low details. From then on, Standard visits keep your home there on the schedule you choose.

What is the difference between Standard and Deluxe cleaning?

Standard is recurring maintenance: kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas and floors, with light dusting of reachable surfaces and light tidying. The Deluxe Top-to-Bottom Deep Clean includes everything in Standard, plus hand-wiped baseboards, blinds, doors and door frames, detailed ceiling fans and vents, interior windows, a detailed stovetop, hard-water treatment on shower doors and scrubbing of reachable grout. In Standard, interior windows are available as an add-on.

How often should I schedule Standard cleaning?

We recommend biweekly (every 2 weeks) for most homes. Weekly suits busy households with kids and pets, and monthly (every 4 weeks) works well for lighter-use homes. All three are available to new clients.

What should I do to prepare for the cleaning?

Please tidy surfaces, remove dishes, and ensure clear access to all areas. Standard includes light tidying; if you’d like us to handle heavier organizing or decluttering, let us know in advance. Additional fees may apply.

Are your cleaning products eco-friendly?

Yes. We use non-toxic, eco-friendly products and follow a color-coded cleaning system that prevents cross-contamination and protects your family, pets, and surfaces.

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

No. As long as we have access instructions (lockbox, garage code, building access), our team can complete the service safely and professionally while you’re away.

Can I customize my cleaning service?

Absolutely. Every cleaning can be tailored to your needs, including add-on services, special requests, and personalized instructions for your home. Popular add-ons include inside the oven, inside the refrigerator and freezer, interior windows and extra beds; add-ons are quoted with your estimate.

What if something isn’t right after my cleaning?

Tell us within 24 hours and our team will return at the next available time to re-clean it at no charge. We don’t issue refunds; our promise is to return and make it right.

How do payments work?

New clients keep a credit or debit card securely on file. Payment is due on the day of your cleaning and is charged to your card on file.

What areas do you serve?

San Francisco is our main focus. We also serve San Bruno, Hillsborough, Woodside, Portola Valley, Menlo Park, Palo Alto and Atherton on the Peninsula, plus Berkeley in the East Bay. See all our service areas.
