Checklist
House cleaning checklist for Chattanooga
This house cleaning checklist for Chattanooga is a comparison, not a package price. A recurring visit keeps kitchens and baths in order. A deep clean adds edges. A move-out assumes the home is empty.
Standard and recurring cleaning
Confirm these
- Kitchen counters, stovetop, sink, and the fronts of appliances
- Bathroom toilet, tub or shower, sink, mirror, and floor
- Dusting of reachable shelves, tables, and window sills
- Beds made when clean bedding is already on the bed or left out
- Carpets and rugs vacuumed, hard floors mopped
- Trash emptied, with a new liner if liners are already in the home
- Door handles and light switches wiped in the rooms being cleaned
Ask before adding
- Inside the oven, refrigerator, or dishwasher

Common questions
Are inside-the-oven tasks on every visit?
No. They sit on the ask-first list unless you name them. A move-out can include empty appliances when you request that and the appliance is empty.
Who brings supplies?
This site does not decide that. On the follow-up call, say whether products should be brought or the ones already in the home should be used. Mention unscented products then too.
