The area included in the core cleaning are:
  • Kitchen
  • All bathrooms
  • One additional room (often the family room or master bedroom)
  • Vacuum and mop all floors through the home including the stairs

The maids clean these rooms and areas in the same way as the deluxe cleaning, so you get the same high-quality cleaning you expect with the deluxe clean but at a deeply discounted price.

This cleaning plan is a perfect match for customers who don’t mind cleaning some of the easier areas of the home that are not included in this package.

Important things to know about the core cleaning package:
  • The kitchen area does not include the adjacent dining area. In this cleaning package the kitchen is considered to be the area where the kitchen countertops and cabinets end.
