How to use this on a job
- Confirm bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, pets, and supplies before you arrive — deep cleans live or die on scope.
- Price it separately from standard service. A deep clean typically runs 1.5 to 2 times a standard visit for the same home.
- Attach the finished checklist to the job record so the next visit starts from facts, not memory.
FAQ
About this checklist
Standard clean vs deep clean — what is the difference?
A standard clean maintains what is already clean. A deep clean reaches what routine visits skip: baseboards, grout, inside appliances, ceiling fans, window tracks, and blinds. Price it separately — typically 1.5 to 2 times a standard visit.
How long does a deep clean take?
A 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home around 1,600 sq ft usually takes a two-person crew 3 to 5 hours. Add time for pet hair, clutter, or homes that have not been professionally cleaned in a year.
Should supplies be included?
Decide before you quote. Most US cleaners bring their own supplies and equipment and fold the cost into the rate. If the client supplies products, write that into the quote so the crew knows.
Can I use this checklist for my crew?
Yes. Print it, copy it into your own form, or attach it to the job in MaidPilot so every cleaner follows the same standard.
