The checklist, compared.
Line by line
Every room, every service.
The Basic Clean column is our published checklist, unchanged. A Deep Clean adds the surfaces a maintenance visit is not scheduled to reach. A Move In/Out adds the insides of things, which are only reachable in an empty house.

Not on any list
Where every clean stops.
The same limits apply to all three services. They are published here rather than explained on the doorstep, because a limit discovered on the day costs you a morning and costs us a customer.
Anything on this list that you genuinely need, call and ask about. The three services cover the rest.
