If you've never hired a cleaning service before, knowing exactly what's included helps you set the right expectations and choose the right provider.
A standard home cleaning from Sparkling Stays covers the areas and tasks that matter most for a clean, comfortable home:
Kitchen: Countertops wiped and sanitized. Stovetop cleaned. Sink scrubbed. Exterior of appliances wiped down. Small appliances (toaster, microwave exterior) cleaned. Dishes put away if in drying rack.
Bathrooms: Toilet fully cleaned inside and out. Shower and tub scrubbed. Sink and mirror cleaned. Counters wiped. Floors mopped. Fixtures polished.
Bedrooms: Beds made with existing linens. Surfaces and nightstands dusted. Floors vacuumed and/or mopped. Under-bed area addressed if accessible.
Living areas: All surfaces dusted. Furniture wiped. Floors vacuumed and mopped. Cushions straightened. Visible clutter organized (not deep-sorted — we're cleaners, not organizers).
General: Trash emptied in all rooms. Light switches and door handles wiped. Baseboards spot-dusted. Floors throughout vacuumed and mopped.
What's NOT included in a standard clean (but available in a deep clean): Inside the oven, fridge, or dishwasher. Inside cabinets and drawers. Walls and ceilings. Windows (interior glass). Baseboards (full detail). Behind and under heavy furniture. Laundry, ironing, or dish washing.
We bring our own supplies and equipment unless you prefer we use yours. All products are eco-friendly and safe for homes with kids and pets.
Every home is different, so if you have specific priorities — like focusing extra attention on the kitchen or bathrooms — let us know when you book. We customize every visit to what matters to you.
