A standard house cleaning covers the regular upkeep of your home: kitchen and bathroom surfaces cleaned and disinfected, floors vacuumed and mopped, dusting of reachable surfaces, mirrors and glass, trash emptied, and beds made on request. Deeper or specialty tasks — inside the oven or fridge, interior windows, baseboards and walls, or a first-time deep clean — are typically add-ons. Here's the room-by-room breakdown.
Kitchen
- Counters, sink and exterior of appliances wiped and disinfected
- Stovetop and microwave (outside and in) cleaned
- Floors vacuumed and mopped; trash emptied
Bathrooms
- Toilets, showers, tubs and sinks scrubbed and disinfected
- Mirrors and chrome polished; counters wiped
- Floors cleaned and trash emptied
Bedrooms & living areas
- Dusting of reachable surfaces, furniture and fixtures
- Floors vacuumed and mopped; tidying of visible clutter
- Beds made or linens changed on request

What's usually NOT included (add-ons)
These take extra time, so most companies price them as extras you can add when booking:
- Inside the oven and inside the refrigerator
- Interior windows, blinds and detailed baseboards
- Wall washing, inside cabinets, and laundry
- A first-time deep clean or move-in / move-out clean
Standard clean vs deep clean
A standard clean maintains an already-tidy home and is ideal on a recurring schedule. A deep clean is a more thorough, top-to-bottom reset — often recommended for a first visit or a few times a year — and covers built-up grime a standard clean doesn't reach. If it's your first cleaning, a deep clean is usually the right starting point.
Common questions
How long does a standard house cleaning take?
It depends on home size and condition, but a standard clean is faster than a deep clean because it maintains rather than resets. Captain Duster sizes the crew and time to your home and confirms it in your up-front quote.
