Regular Home Cleaning
Want to keep your home tidy but can't find time to clean during the week? Your cleaner can come once, or weekly, every two weeks or monthly, to clean the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living room and floors of your lived-in home. This covers dusting and wiping surfaces within easy reach, vacuuming and mopping, kitchen and bathroom cleaning, and taking out the garbage. If needed, you can also arrange add-ons in advance, such as inside the fridge or oven, inside cabinets, and interior windows.

Common issues
Busy with work and want regular cleaning
Book weekly, every two weeks or monthly visits. Each visit follows the same standard checklist for the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living room and floors.
Want to tidy up quickly before guests arrive
A one-time standard clean that focuses on surfaces, floors, the kitchen and bathrooms in the areas you use every day.
Everyday kitchen and bathroom grime
Cleaning countertops, sinks, the stovetop, appliance exteriors, toilets, bathroom sinks, the bathtub or shower and mirrors. Long-term grease or mineral buildup falls under deep cleaning.
Homes with pets or young children
You can mention pets, allergies or any cleaning products you want used in advance, so your cleaner can plan ahead. Animal waste and litter boxes are not part of this service.
Also want the fridge, oven or interior windows cleaned
You can choose add-ons when you book, such as inside the fridge, inside the oven, inside emptied cabinets, interior windows and window tracks, blinds, or laundry using your home's laundry machines (including changing bed sheets).
What the pro will do
- 1
Your cleaner gets details on your address, home type, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, one-time or recurring cleaning, add-ons, pets, special surface materials, products to use or avoid, and entry, parking, elevator and building rules. Your cleaner confirms the cleaning scope and price.
- 2
Your cleaner arrives at the agreed time, usually bringing their own cleaning supplies and tools, and works through each room from higher areas down to the floor following the standard checklist. Add-ons are done within the scope confirmed in advance.
- 3
If your cleaner finds mould, rodent droppings, pests, damage, heavy items that need moving, or areas beyond what can be safely reached from a step ladder, they will stop that part of the work and explain it to you. They won't expand the work on their own.
- 4
When finished, your cleaner lets you know what was cleaned, what couldn't be done and what needs to be arranged separately. For recurring clients, each later visit follows the same checklist and the add-ons already confirmed.
Good to know
Put away clutter and valuables before the clean
Standard cleaning doesn't include organizing or putting things away. Clearing clutter and putting away valuables and fragile items first lets your cleaner focus on surfaces and floors.
Mention surface materials and care requirements in advance
Natural stone such as marble, hardwood or laminate floors, stainless steel and glass stovetops each need suitable products. If you have product or care instructions, please share them in advance.
Never mix bleach with other cleaners
Mixing bleach with products that contain ammonia or acid (for example, some glass cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners or vinegar) creates toxic gas. If you want your cleaner to use products you provide, please keep them in their original containers with the labels.
Pets and people with allergies
Keep pets in a separate area during the clean, and let them back in only after floors and surfaces are fully dry. Family members with allergies or asthma may want to stay away during the clean, and keep the space well ventilated.
Have bed sheets ready if you want them changed
If you'd like your cleaner to change your bed sheets, please leave clean sheets somewhere easy to see beforehand. If you add laundry, only your home's laundry machines and laundry products will be used.
Local tips
Building fobs, keys and visitor access
Each strata building has its own rules on handing over fobs or keys and letting visitors into common areas. Before booking, please check your building's rules and share concierge, buzzer, parking and elevator details.
Food scraps must be sorted
Metro Vancouver has banned putting food scraps in the regular garbage since 2015. When taking out the garbage, your cleaner will sort recycling and food scraps according to your home's and your building's garbage room setup.
Don't assume bathroom glass water spots are from hard water
Most of Metro Vancouver gets its water from the Capilano, Seymour and Coquitlam reservoirs, while White Rock uses groundwater. Marks on bathroom glass or taps can also come from soap scum or water left to dry, so they need to be treated based on the actual surface.
This service only covers standard everyday cleaning of areas within easy reach in lived-in homes, plus add-ons confirmed in advance. It does not include deep cleaning of long-term buildup, move-in/move-out or post-renovation cleaning, carpet and upholstery steam cleaning, exterior windows and work at heights, mould removal or remediation, biohazards, animal waste, rodent droppings or post-pest cleanup, hoarding cleanup and junk removal, moving heavy items, repairing surface damage, commercial cleaning, or short-term rental turnover cleaning. Cleaning results depend on how dirty the home is, the surface materials and existing wear. Etching, scratches, fading, permanent mineral stains and similar issues won't be reversed by cleaning.
