The Kitchen
- Cleaning the exterior of cabinets and drawers
- Scrubbing countertops and wiping the table and chairs
- Cleaning the outside of the refrigerator, stove, oven and dishwasher
- Cleaning the microwave inside and out
- Cleaning the sink and faucets, then emptying trash and replacing liners
- Sweeping and mopping the floor
The Bathrooms
Bathrooms get the same checklist every time. The toilet, sink, faucets, shower and bathtub are scrubbed, mirrors are cleaned and the exterior of cabinets and drawers is wiped down. Trash is emptied with fresh liners, and the floor is swept and mopped.
Living Areas and Bedrooms
Dusting covers every surface, including furniture, light fixtures and ceiling fans. Mirrors and glass are cleaned, rugs and carpets are vacuumed and hard floors are swept and mopped. In bedrooms, the beds are made, and high-touch spots such as light switches and doorknobs are wiped down.
Entryways and Railings
The first and last places you see each day get extra attention. Railings and doorknobs are cleaned, shelves and storage areas are dusted and floors are swept and mopped.
What Counts as Extra
Not everything belongs in a standard visit. Dishes, laundry folding, and cleaning inside the fridge, oven, and inside cabinets are considered extras. Mention anything that matters to you when you book, and the team will plan for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are dishes included in a standard cleaning?
Dishes are treated as extra work, so mention them when you book if you would like help. A regular visit focuses on cleaning kitchen surfaces, the sink, appliance exteriors and floors, while loading or washing dishes is arranged separately. Call our team and describe what you need, and we will plan it with you.
Do you clean inside the microwave and the refrigerator?
Our Regular Cleaning checklist includes the microwave, inside and out, along with the exterior of the refrigerator, stove, oven and dishwasher. Deeper work on the inside of other appliances is better suited to Deep Cleaning, so mention it when you book if it is a priority.
Is making the beds part of the visit?
Yes. Bedrooms are part of the standard checklist, which includes dusting surfaces, cleaning mirrors and glass, vacuuming rugs, mopping floors and making the beds. It is one of the small touches that makes a home feel ready when you come back.
How often should I schedule a regular cleaning in Walnut Creek?
You can choose weekly, every-two-weeks or monthly visits. Weekly or every-two-weeks schedules suit busy households, pets and children, while monthly visits work for smaller homes. Call our team, and we will help you choose a rhythm that fits your routine.
Do I need to provide cleaning supplies?
No. Equipment and supplies are provided for every visit, so there is nothing to buy or set out. If you have sensitive surfaces, pets or a preference for certain products, share that when you book, and the team will note it for your cleaning.
