Standard House Cleaning That Keeps a Clean Home Clean

A standard clean is maintenance, not rescue. It is built for a home that's already in decent shape and needs to stay that way — the weekly or bi-weekly reset that handles the dirt you actually generate living your life. Knowing exactly where a standard clean starts and stops is the difference between being happy with the result and being surprised by it, so this page lays out the full scope before you ever request a quote.

What a Standard Clean Covers

Every AlphaLux standard visit follows a fixed room-by-room sequence so nothing gets skipped:

  • Kitchen: counters and backsplash wiped, exterior of appliances, stovetop, sink scrubbed and shined, cabinet fronts spot-cleaned, floors vacuumed and mopped, trash out.
  • Bathrooms: toilet, tub/shower, sink, mirror, counters, and chrome cleaned and disinfected; floors done last.
  • Bedrooms & living areas: dusting of reachable surfaces, sills, and fixtures; mirrors and glass; beds made (linens changed if left out); floors vacuumed/mopped.
  • Whole home: light switches, doorknobs, and other high-touch points wiped; cobwebs cleared; visible surfaces tidied.

What Standard Doesn't Include

Standard skips the slow, detailed work: inside the oven and fridge, interior windows, baseboards and trim scrubbing, grout, behind/under heavy furniture and appliances, and wall washing. Those belong to a deep cleaning. If it's your first time with us or the home hasn't had a professional clean in a while, we'll usually recommend starting with a deep clean so standard visits can keep pace afterward.

The AlphaLux Promise

A Predictable Baseline, Every Visit

The point of standard cleaning isn't a one-time wow — it's never having to think about it again. A consistent crew, a fixed checklist, and non-toxic products mean the home stays at a predictable baseline week after week, and you get your weekends back.

Non-Toxic, Family-Safe Products

We clean with biodegradable, non-toxic products — no bleach or ammonia — so the home is safe for kids, pets, and anyone sensitive to harsh fumes the moment we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions

Standard cleaning maintains a home that's already in good shape — surfaces, floors, kitchen, and bathrooms on a routine basis. Deep cleaning adds the heavy, detailed work that builds up over time: inside appliances, baseboards, grout, window interiors, and behind furniture. Most homes start with one deep clean, then keep it up with standard visits.
For an average home, a standard clean usually runs about 1.5 to 3 hours depending on size, number of bathrooms, and how many cleaners we send. Larger homes or homes with pets take longer. Because we work from a fixed checklist, the time goes to the work — not to figuring out what to do next.
No. Most clients give us entry instructions and go about their day. If you'd rather be home, that's completely fine too. Either way, our teams are background-checked, insured, and uniformed, so you can trust who's in your home whether you're there or not.
Yes. We arrive with all cleaning products and equipment, including our non-toxic, biodegradable cleaners. You don't need to provide anything. If you have a specific product you'd like us to use instead — say, for a delicate surface — just leave it out and let us know.
Most households land on weekly or bi-weekly. Weekly suits busy families, homes with pets, or anyone who wants it consistently spotless. Bi-weekly is the most popular middle ground. If you want a set schedule with a discount, recurring cleaning is the better fit.
Standard skips the deep-detail tasks: inside the oven and refrigerator, interior windows, scrubbing baseboards and grout, wall washing, and moving heavy furniture or appliances. Those are part of a deep clean. We'll always tell you up front if your home would be better served by a deep clean first.
Yes. The checklist is the baseline, not a cage. If you want us to skip a room, prioritize the kitchen, or add a focus area, just tell us when you book. We'll note it on your account so every visit matches your preferences.
Loading or unloading a dishwasher and a quick sink of dishes can usually be folded in if you ask ahead. Full laundry isn't part of standard cleaning, though we handle linens for short-term rentals under our Airbnb and vacation rental services.
Yes. We use biodegradable, non-toxic products with no bleach or ammonia, chosen so your family and pets are safe the moment we finish. If you want to confirm what to look for, the EPA's Safer Choice program certifies cleaning products that meet strict human-health and environmental criteria.
It depends on the size of the home and your schedule. Smaller homes typically get one cleaner; larger homes or tighter time windows get a team of two or more so we're in and out efficiently without rushing the checklist.
