House Cleaning Checklist

Your home is a highly personal space, so shouldn’t the way your home is cleaned be tailored to your needs? Each and every cleaning performed by McGuire’s Cleaning Service begins with a custom work order that our business owner Karen McGuire will work with you to create.

Whether you are looking for a one-time deep cleaning, or if you are interested in ongoing services, your first cleaning service as a McGuire’s client will be our Top-to-bottom deep cleaning to get all areas of your home to a maintenance level. Should you wish to continue services on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis, smaller maintenance cleanings will keep your home looking its very best.

Top to Bottom Cleanings

At McGuire’s Cleaning Service our signature deep cleaning we refer to as “Top-to-bottom” cleanings. Top-to-bottom cleanings are just that, our skilled cleaning technicians clean each room from ceiling fans to baseboards and everything in between! These highly customizable cleanings are performed at our hourly rate, and ensure you are only paying for the time your team spends cleaning your home.

Ongoing Maintenance Cleanings

Ongoing maintenance cleanings take place after you have had your Top-to-bottom cleaning, with the goal of maintaining the deep cleaning achieved at your first service.

Ongoing cleanings are also highly customizable, and can be adapted to suit your budget. For instance, maybe you have guest rooms that are rarely used. We offer the option of alternating “half house” and “full house” cleanings so that these rooms are cleaned every other visit while heavily used rooms like your kitchen and baths would be cleaned each time.

There are standard items that happen in each and every room, and then there are particular items that are cleaned based on the type of room, and lastly we have special add-on items that can be added to any cleaning by request.
