What's Included in a Standard House Cleaning in Edmonton?
Edmonton homeowners booking their first professional clean often aren't sure exactly what "standard cleaning" covers versus what counts as an upgrade. Here's the room-by-room breakdown.

Bedrooms
Included in a standard clean: Dusting all reachable surfaces, vacuuming carpets or mopping hard floors, making beds (fresh sheets if provided and requested), emptying trash, tidying visible clutter.
Deep clean add-ons: Under-bed cleaning if furniture needs moving, closet organization (not typically offered as a cleaning task at all — this is a separate organizing service).

Standard Clean vs. Deep Clean — Which Do You Need?
If this is your first professional clean, or it's been more than a couple of months since the last one, start with a deep clean to establish a proper baseline — it's faster and cheaper to maintain a clean home with regular visits afterward than to repeatedly deep clean a home that's fallen behind. If you're already on a regular schedule, standard cleaning maintains that baseline at a lower cost per visit.
