The Dust Bunnies Checklist: What's Included in Every House Cleaning

46 Tasks. Every Room. Every Visit.

This is the Head Bunny's own house cleaning checklist, and every home visit follows it, from the kitchen sink to the laundry room. There's no guessing what gets done, and no wondering whether anyone dusted the ceiling fan. (They did.)

Your Own Microfiber Mop Head

Here's one you won't find on most checklists. Every home we clean gets its own microfiber mop head, so the only floors your mop has ever touched are yours.

One-Time Cleaning and Deep Cleaning

A one-time cleaning gets the full checklist. If you'd like baseboards and vents done too, or a deep clean before a move, a sale or a big day, just ask and we'll build it into your free estimate.

Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning

The full deep clean list, including inside the cabinets and the fridge.

Airbnb and Rental Turnovers

The full checklist at every turnover, with the beds made up fresh and a restock from your supplies if they're on hand.

See Airbnb cleaning →

Commercial Cleaning

Every business is a little different, so commercial customers get their own plan, built around the space.

Inside the Oven or Fridge

Want the inside of the oven or fridge done too? Mention it on your free estimate call and we'll add it.

Getting Ready for Your Cleaning

N
Leave clean sheets out and we'll change your linens and make the beds.
N
Leave your trash bags where we can find them and we'll put a fresh one in every can.
N
Want us to use one of your own products? Let us know, then leave it out with a quick note on where it goes, and we'll take it from there.

House Cleaning Checklist Questions

What's Included in a House Cleaning?

Everything on the list above, across the kitchen, counters, bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry room and every other room. On regular cleanings, one room also gets a deep clean each visit.

What's the Difference Between a Regular Cleaning and a Deep Clean?

A regular cleaning covers the full checklist. A deep clean goes further, into baseboards, vents, door frames and under the cushions. Regular customers get that deep clean one room at a time, but if you'd like the whole house done at once, just ask on your free estimate call.

Can You Use My Own Cleaning Products?

Happily. Our teams always bring their own supplies, but if you have a favorite, like a hardwood floor cleaner or a green product for your pets or allergies, just let us know and we'll use yours.
