Kitchen checklist
The kitchen usually has the highest mix of crumbs, grease, water spots, fingerprints, and traffic. Start here if the home needs to feel usable quickly.
- Clear dishes and food items.
- Wipe counters, backsplashes, tables, cabinet fronts, and appliance exteriors.
- Clean sink, faucet, and visible splash areas.
- Vacuum or sweep, then mop hard floors.
Bathroom checklist
Bathrooms need both surface cleaning and detail attention. Remove personal items from counters and tubs before a scheduled visit.
- Clean mirror, sink, counter, toilet, tub, shower, and fixtures.
- Wipe reachable shelves, ledges, and cabinet fronts.
- Empty small trash cans when included.
- Vacuum and mop floors.
Bedroom checklist
Bedrooms benefit from dust reduction and floor care. Laundry and personal clutter should be picked up before a professional visit.
- Dust nightstands, dressers, lamps, and reachable decor.
- Vacuum carpet or mop hard floors.
- Wipe high-touch surfaces.
- Lightly straighten accessible areas when included.
Living area checklist
Shared spaces collect daily evidence of meals, pets, guests, and family routines.
- Dust tables, shelves, electronics-adjacent surfaces, and decor.
