If you’re new to hiring a cleaning service, you may have seen the terms First-Time Clean and Standard Clean. Both are great options, but they serve different purposes. Here’s a quick overview of how they differ:
What Is a First-Time Clean?
A First-Time Clean is a thorough cleaning designed for homes that haven’t been professionally cleaned in a while (or ever). These cleans take more time and effort because they bring the home up to a higher baseline. At Cincy Maid, we focus on:
- ✅ Baseboards, walls, and light switches
- ✅ Bathrooms and kitchen in detail
-
✅ Floors vacuumed and mopped
What Is a Standard Clean?
A Standard Clean is a lighter, maintenance clean for homes that are already tidy or recently had a First-Time Clean. It’s ideal for weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly recurring service. Standard Cleans keep your home fresh but don’t include the heavy detail work.
Why Does a First-Time Clean Matter?
Many homes need extra attention before they’re ready for ongoing service. A First-Time Clean ensures:
-
Your home is thoroughly cleaned from the start
-
Recurring cleans are quicker and more effective
-
You get the full value from every future visit
When Should You Book Each?
Book a First-Time Clean if:
-
Your home hasn’t had a professional cleaning in 30+ days
-
You’re preparing to start recurring service
-
You want a top-to-bottom reset
Book a Standard Clean if:
-
Your home is cleaned regularly
-
You’re maintaining a clean space between deep cleans
