It is most ideal to start with a deep cleaning to get your home ready for routine maintanence. Soap scum built up on the shower door or dark spots on the bottom of the tub? Dust collecting on light fixtures, fan blades and window sills? Backsplash in the kitchen full of spattered grease from years of cooking? Baseboards and blind in need of some extra love? We need extra time to deep scrub all of the surfaces in your home, and then we move into maintenance cleans! Our recommendation is to do your intial deep clean and then schedule one for the spring and one for fall\/winter.[\/vc_column_text][qt_iconbox iconbox_icon_symbol=&#8221;font-icon&#8221; iconbox_icon_position=&#8221;icon-left icon-float&#8221; iconbox_layout=&#8221;style-2&#8243; iconbox_heading=&#8221;Do I need to be home during my clean?&#8221; iconbox_icon=&#8221;fab fa-pagelines&#8221; message=&#8221;&#8221;][\/qt_iconbox][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]No, you are not required to be home during your clean!
