What “Basic Cleaning” Means
A basic clean is designed for routine upkeep: it addresses visible, reachable surfaces, dust, floors, and bins, leaving your home refreshed and hygienic.
It does not cover heavy-duty detailing (e.g., inside ovens/fridges, grout restoration, or window exteriors). These are considered deep cleaning add-ons.
