Before your Professional Cleaning Company can even begin to perform routine weekly or
bi-weekly maintenance cleaning on a home, there are usually a variety of
"first-time" tasks which require extra attention on their first visit.
Your
first cleaning visit is more like a spring cleaning, or what we call a
heavy, deep-cleaning. In fact, it's not uncommon for a cleaning team to spend
from four to eight times longer on a first-time cleaning than it takes
them
on regular, repeat maintenance visits. While the situation in every home
is unique and different, following are some examples of what we mean.
It is not unusual for your team to spend as much time cleaning
one bathroom on their first visit as it takes to clean the entire home on
subsequent visits. For example, if they don’t spend the time and effort
usually needed to get shower doors, shower-door tracks, shower and bathtub
walls, bathtub surfaces, plumbing fixtures and porcelain artifices
deep-cleaned, these objects will never look clean no matter how often they
come. If built-up mineral rings or hard-water stains are present in the
commode, they do their best to bring these surfaces back to "ground zero".

Kitchen cabinets, counter tops and appliances often
require extra attention on the first visit. Grease, fingerprints and other
dirt seems to make its way through everyone's home and gravitates toward
the kitchen (and seems to think that the top of the fridge is an
especially good place to hide!). It doesn’t take long for kitchen dust to
become impregnated with grease ~ certainly a lot more difficult to clean
then a week’s accumulation of ordinary surface dust. You may ask to have
your oven or inside the refrigerator cleaned on the first visit, too.

The amount of time and effort required to bring all rooms
back to ground zero depends on many factors. Most clients hire
professional house cleaners
because they simply don’t have time to clean with more than a
"lick-and-a-promise". Perhaps no one has vacuumed behind or beneath the
sofa for months (and moving furniture to clean isn’t as easy for one
person as it is for a team of cleaners). Bookshelves, baseboards, window
sills, windows, chandeliers or other furnishings and fixtures are often
neglected for long periods of time and may require extra initial "Tender
Loving Care".
