What’s Included in a Standard House Cleaning?

When hiring a professional cleaning service, it’s important to know exactly what you’re getting. A standard house cleaning is the most common type of residential service, designed to keep your home consistently clean and comfortable. At A+ Cleaning Services, we believe in setting clear expectations, so you know exactly what’s included when you book with us.

Our standard cleaning package is ideal for:

Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly maintenance
