Introduction: Housecleaners will clean their client's home from top to bottom, but that does not mean everything is included in the basic cleaning rate.
Basics include the following:
- Dust all areas of the home
- Clean/sanitize all areas of the bathroom
- Clean all floors
- Wipe all fixtures and appliances
- Wipe all mirrors and pictures
Not included are the following:
- Cleaning around clutter
- Cleaning bodily waste
- Cleaning inside refrigerator/stove/cabinets
- Moving furniture to access areas
- Reaching high areas (above foot stool reach)
- Windows inside/outside
Many cleaners will charge an extra fee to clean the areas not included.
To be a housecleaner, you should be in pretty good physical condition. You will be required to do a lot of bending over and walking around the house. If you have a bad back or bad knees, this business may not be for you.
