What a Recurring Visit Covers

Every visit is the same list, which is what makes it possible to do it in a predictable amount of time for a predictable price.

Kitchen

Counters and backsplash, sink and faucet, exterior of every appliance, stovetop and control panel, microwave interior, cabinet fronts at hand height, table, and floor.

Bathrooms

Toilet inside and out including the base, shower and tub surround, glass, sink and counter, mirror, fixtures, and floor. Towels straightened, trash out.

Living areas and bedrooms

Dusting of all reachable surfaces, sills, and visible ledges. Beds made or linens changed if you leave them out. Mirrors and glass. Vacuum on carpet, sweep and mop on hard floors. Entryway given attention out of proportion to its size, because in this climate it needs it.

Every visit, not just some

Trash and recycling out, high touch surfaces disinfected in the kitchen and bathrooms, and a walk through at the end.

Choosing a Cadence

Schedule Typical price per visit Suits
Weekly $150 to $210 Pets, kids, home office, entertaining
Every other week $150 to $260 Most households
Monthly $200 to $310 One or two tidy people, out most days

Weekly costs less per visit than monthly. That surprises people until they think about it. The house never gets far enough gone to need rescuing, so each visit is shorter. Monthly visits cost more because four weeks of accumulation takes real time to undo, every single time.

The American Cleaning Institute's baseline for living spaces is floors vacuumed or swept and mopped weekly, with deep cleaning reserved for a few times a year. Their more useful observation is the one about frequency: the more consistently a house gets cleaned, the less deep cleaning it needs to catch up. That is the entire economic argument for a recurring schedule rather than calling somebody twice a year in a panic.

Why the First Visit Is Different

The first visit is a deep clean, priced accordingly, and then the rate drops.

The reason is arithmetic. A maintenance visit is scoped for a house that is already in reasonable shape. If the baseboards have two years on them and the shower grout has never been treated, a two hour visit spends all of its time on one bathroom and the rest of the house gets nothing. Doing that work once, properly, is what makes every visit afterward fit in the window and hit the price.

If your house was deep cleaned recently by somebody else, say so when you book. Sometimes the first visit can be priced as a normal one.

What Gets Disinfected and What Does Not

Cleaning and disinfecting are two different operations, and the order is not optional. Cleaning removes soil and grease from the surface; disinfecting inactivates pathogens on it. A disinfectant sprayed onto a dirty surface is mostly working on the dirt.

On a recurring visit, kitchen and bathroom high touch surfaces get cleaned and then disinfected. Door handles, light switches, faucet handles, the fridge door. Everything else gets cleaned, which is what it needs. A company that tells you it disinfects your entire house every visit is describing something that neither happens nor helps.

Before You Hire Anyone

Someone on a recurring schedule is in your house every two weeks, often when you are not. That is worth thirty seconds of checking, and this is not a pitch for us specifically.

Washington keeps business registration and workers compensation status on the public record. You can look up any cleaning company operating in this state through the Labor and Industries verification tool before you hand over a key. Ask for the legal business name. Anyone who gets cagey about giving you one has told you what you needed to know.

Related Work

The first visit on any recurring schedule is a deep clean. If you are ending a tenancy rather than settling into one, that is a move out clean. If the property is a short term rental rather than a home, the schedule is driven by bookings and that is Airbnb turnover cleaning.

Questions

Maid Service Vancouver WA

How much does a maid service cost in Vancouver WA?

Every other week is the most common schedule and runs $150 to $260 a visit for most Vancouver homes. Weekly costs less per visit because there is less to do each time. Monthly costs more per visit for the same reason in reverse.

Is the first visit the same price?

No, the first visit is priced as a deep clean, usually $300 to $600. It is not an upsell. A house that has not been deep cleaned cannot be maintained in a two hour visit, so the first visit does that work once and every visit after it drops to the recurring rate.

Do I get the same cleaner every time?

Yes, that is the point of a recurring schedule. The same crew on the same day means they learn your house, which is why visit three takes less time than visit one and catches more.

What if I need to skip a week?

Skip it. Give as much notice as you can so the slot can go to somebody else, and your regular time stays yours. Skipping repeatedly usually means the cadence is wrong and monthly would suit you better.

Do I need to be home?

No, and most clients are not. Access is arranged in advance by key, lockbox code, or garage code. It gets agreed before the first visit rather than worked out on the doorstep.

Weekly, every other week, or monthly?

Every other week suits most households. Weekly makes sense with pets, small children, or a home office in daily use. Monthly works for one or two people who are tidy and out of the house most days, but expect each visit to take longer.

What is not included in a recurring visit?

Inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, window exteriors, blinds slat by slat, and moving heavy furniture are deep clean items rather than maintenance items. Any of them can be added to a visit if you ask when you book.
