Bedroom/bath count and approximate square footage to estimate team time.
Recurring (weekly/bi-weekly/monthly), deep clean, move-in/move-out, or event clean; each has a different level of detail.
Extra buildup like grease, dust, or stains may need more time.
Inside oven, inside fridge, interior windows/blinds, light organizing, or specialty surfaces are priced as clear add-ons per item.
Recurring clients receive progressive discounts; the more frequent, the lower the per-visit price.
Gate/door code, parking, elevator/stairs, free-roaming pets, and other factors that can affect team time.

I honestly didn't realize how much my house needed a deep clean until Essential Cleaning arrived! They meticulously tackled every nook and cranny, from baseboards to ceiling fans. Jackie and her team were phenomenal; their attention to detail was incredible, and my home felt brand new. Highly recommend them for that extra sparkle!
