House Cleaning in Anaheim

What house cleaning covers

• Every bedroom and bathroom in the house, not only the main floor
• Kitchen counters, the island where there is one, the stovetop, the sink and the fronts of the fridge, oven and dishwasher
• Floors vacuumed and mopped, stairs and hallways between floors included
• Beds made, and sheets changed when you leave clean ones out
• Trash emptied room by room and the liners replaced
• Mirrors, glass doors and the marks around the light switches

What is usually not included

• The garage, the attic and unfinished basement space
• Laundry: washing, folding and putting clothes away is usually priced separately
• Windows from the outside, plus screens and gutters

When to book house cleaning

This is the regular clean most homes book every week, every two weeks or once a month. If the home has not been cleaned in a long time, ask for a deep clean the first time and then switch to this.

How long it takes

Bathrooms usually drive the time more than bedrooms do, so a three-bathroom house runs longer than a bigger house with one. A half bath off the hallway goes fast; a full bath with a tub and a glass shower door is what stretches the visit.

What makes the price go up

• A third or fourth bathroom, which adds more time than another bedroom
• Stairs and a second floor, since equipment and water go up and down
• Carpet on the stairs and in the bedrooms, which takes longer than hard floors
• A monthly visit usually costs more than the same house done weekly

What to ask before you book

• Do you bring a vacuum up to the second floor, or is it easier if I keep one upstairs?
• Is it the same person every time, or does it change week to week?
• What happens if I need to skip a week or move the day?

What house cleaning looks like in Anaheim

Most of Anaheim is flat, inland Orange County, with the hills off to the east: block after block of postwar single-story tract houses with attached garages, plus apartments and condos filling in around them. The weather is mild enough that windows and patio doors stay open most of the year. Fall brings the Santa Ana winds, dry and full of grit. And the resort district keeps a steady flow of visitors in town.

Visitors shape the work here: a guest room or a whole house put back in order around someone else's arrival date, not around the calendar. With doors open most of the year there is no closed season for dust, and after a Santa Ana there is a fresh layer on sills, blinds and floors.
