House Cleaning in Denver

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 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.
