House Cleaning FAQ for Des Moines Homeowners

How often should Des Moines homeowners get house cleaning?
Given Des Moines's extreme temperature range: -20°f winter wind chills to 100°f+ summer days, most homeowners benefit from house cleaning at least once a year. Post-hail storm roof and siding inspection (May–July) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Des Moines most need house cleaning?
Brick ranch and Cape Cod homes throughout Polk County and Victorian and Craftsman homes in Sherman Hill and Ingersoll Park are the most common home types in Des Moines and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
Do I need to be home during cleaning?
No. Most customers provide a key or door code. Our cleaners are background-checked and insured. Many people prefer to be out during cleaning.
What's included in a standard cleaning?
Standard cleaning covers dusting all surfaces, vacuuming and mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms (toilets, sinks, showers, mirrors), cleaning the kitchen (counters, appliances exterior, sink), and emptying trash. Inside ovens, fridges, and windows are usually add-ons.
How do I prepare for a cleaning visit?
Tidying up before the cleaners arrive (picking up clutter, clearing counters) helps them focus on actual cleaning rather than organizing. Secure pets and ensure access.
Are your products safe for children and pets?
Yes. We offer green cleaning options using non-toxic, eco-friendly products. Please let us know about any allergies or sensitivities when booking.
