Apartment Cleaning in Denver

What apartment cleaning covers

• Every room in the unit, down to a studio's single space
• Bathrooms done in full, tub or shower, mirror and fixtures
• Floors in one pass, with no stairs to carry equipment up
• The sliding door glass and the balcony floor, where there is one
• The in-unit washer and dryer wiped down on the outside
• Trash carried out to the building chute or the dumpster

What is usually not included

• Shared parts of the building: hallway, lobby, laundry room, gym
• Your storage locker, your parking stall, anything outside the door
• Washing windows from the outside on any floor above the ground floor

When to book apartment cleaning

Book this for a rental or a condo. If you are moving out and want the deposit back, ask for a move out clean instead, which is a different job.

How long it takes

A studio or a one-bedroom goes quickly compared with a house, and a two-bedroom with two bathrooms comes closer to a small one. Getting in counts too: a gate, a front desk, an elevator and parking all take time before the work starts.

What makes the price go up

• No parking for the cleaner, or a paid garage with no visitor pass
• A walk-up with no elevator, or a service elevator that has to be booked
• A building that only allows this kind of work during set hours
• No trash chute on the floor, so every bag goes down to the dumpster outside

What to ask before you book

• How do you get into the building, and do you need a code or a pass?
• My building has quiet hours. Can you work inside them?
• Do you do the balcony and the sliding door, or just the inside?

What apartment cleaning looks like in Denver

Denver sits high and dry. The air holds little moisture, so dust stays fine and shows up again quickly on flat surfaces. Snow comes and goes through the cold months, and the sand and magnesium chloride spread on the roads rides in on boots and dries to a pale film by the door. Older neighborhoods run to brick bungalows, and hardwood floors and forced-air heat are common in them.

Entryways and floors come first here, since road grit and de-icer film dull a hardwood finish if they sit. Dusting comes around more often than it would in a wet climate, and vents get attention because the heat runs long. Windows are worth doing carefully: dry air and hard light leave every streak visible.
