A standard house cleaning covers every room in the home on a set checklist: bedrooms, bathrooms, the kitchen and living areas, with dusting, surfaces, fixtures, mirrors, floors and trash. It is the clean most homes get on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly schedule. Here is exactly what it includes at Coastal Breeze Maids, room by room.

How a Standard Clean Differs From a Deep Clean
A deep clean includes everything above, plus blinds, sliding glass doors and tracks, the inside of the oven and fridge, cabinets inside and out, doors, behind and under easily movable furniture, and steam-cleaned tile floors. A standard clean leaves those out because a maintained home only needs them now and then. See deep cleaning vs regular cleaning.
What It Doesn’t Include
Indoor windows, changing linens, dishes, the lanai and the grill aren’t part of a standard clean, and neither are the deep-clean items. Any of them can be added. See what regular cleaning doesn’t include, and how to add it.
How the Visit Works
- The team brings professional supplies and equipment, including HEPA-filter vacuums; eco-friendly products are available on request.
- They work room by room, top to bottom, following the same checklist every time.
- We review the work to make sure everything meets expectations before we consider the job complete.
- If something was missed, tell us within 24 hours and we’ll come back to address it.
- The same team cleans your home whenever possible.
Who It Suits
A standard clean is the right fit for a home that is already reasonably clean: on a regular schedule, recently deep cleaned, or kept up between visits. If your home hasn’t been professionally cleaned in a while, start with a deep clean; see whether you need one.
