Standard, deep, and move-out cleans
The depth of the clean decides the list. A standard clean is the recurring upkeep that keeps a home in shape: surfaces, floors, bathrooms, kitchen, and trash. A deep clean adds the detail work you do less often, like inside the oven and microwave, baseboards, grout, and ceiling fans. A move in / out clean includes all of that plus the inside of cabinets, drawers, and closets, because the home is empty and will be inspected.
A checklist is the simplest quality system a cleaning business can have. It keeps every clean consistent, trains new hires without you hovering, and shows clients exactly what is included. Pair it with our price calculator to quote the job, and the invoice generator to bill it.
A checklist on every cleaner's phone
A printed checklist is a great start. Eva goes further: the right checklist lands on each cleaner's phone for every visit, they check off tasks and add photos, and you see that the job was done to standard, without calling to ask.
Cleaning checklist questions
What is the difference between a standard, deep, and move-out cleaning checklist?
A standard checklist covers recurring upkeep: surfaces, floors, bathrooms, kitchen, and trash. A deep clean adds the detailed work, like inside the oven and microwave, baseboards, grout, and ceiling fans. A move in / out checklist includes everything plus inside cabinets, drawers, and closets, since the home is empty and will be inspected.
What should a move-out cleaning checklist include?
Everything in a deep clean, plus the inside of all cabinets, drawers, and closets, inside the oven and refrigerator, behind and under appliances, and spot-cleaned walls and doors. The goal is an empty home that passes a landlord or buyer inspection.
