CARE Cleaning Checklist
At CARE Cleaning, we believe in being thorough, transparent, and flexible. That’s why we offer a Two-Tier Residential Cleaning Checklist — designed to match the level of care your home or property needs.
TIER 1: STANDARD CLEAN
TIER 2: DEEP CLEAN
A routine maintenance clean to keep your space fresh, tidy, and guest-ready. Ideal for weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly upkeep.
All the tasks from Standard Clean, plus extra attention to detail. Best for first-time services, move-ins, move-outs, seasonal refreshes, or homes that need extra TLC.
