Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about scheduling, what's included, and how I Clean Fishtown works, so you know what to expect before you book.
Book a CleaningBooking & Scheduling
How often should I book a basic cleaning?
Most Fishtown clients decide on a weekly or bi-weekly for the best balance of upkeep and cost. Monthly works well for smaller households or lower traffic homes.
Do you offer recurring or one-time cleanings?
Both! Some clients book a one-off before a big event or after a busy stretch, others set up a standing weekly or bi-weekly spot on my calendar. Whatever fits your routine works for me.
How do I know if I need a deep clean, or can I just start with recurring service?
If it's been a while since your last real cleaning, you're moving into a new place, or you're unable to catch up on a long list of chores, that's usually a sign you need a deep clean first. Most clients start here so their regular standard cleans have a truly clean home to maintain.
How often should I book a deep clean?
Most homes only need one every few months, or once a year if you're already on a standard cleaning schedule in between. If it's your first time booking, start here regardless of when your last one was.
Before Your Visit
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
Not at all. Plenty of clients hand off a key or a door code and come home to a finished job. For the first visit, however, I'd prefer for you to at least walk through at the end to make sure you're satisfied.
How should I prepare?
A general pick-up of clutter helps me focus fully on cleaning rather than organizing. Hide all your secrets, but everything else is on me.
What's Included
Can I add extras services?
Yes, inside the fridge, inside the oven, laundry, or a specific problem area can all be added on. Mention it when you book.
Do you bring your own supplies?
Yes! I bring cleaning supplies and equipment needed for your cleaning. If you have a specific product you prefer me to use, just let me know ahead of time.
Do you move furniture during a deep clean?
Light pieces, yes. I'll shift couches, chairs, and nightstands to get behind and under them. Heavier furniture like beds or dressers stays put unless you can move it ahead of time.
Can you deep clean just one or two rooms?
Sure, if you only need one or two spaces to get the full deep-clean treatment, just let me know when you book and I'll scope a visit around those rooms.
After Your Cleaning
What should I do after my deep clean to keep the house looking just as good?
Most clients continue with a biweekly standard cleaning after their deep clean. It's an easy way to keep that reset feeling without paying for a full deep clean each time. I can set that up during your first visit if you'd like.
