Recurring house cleaning in Washington, DC
Recurring house cleaning keeps your home at the same standard all year, with no catch-up cleaning weekends.
Weekly house cleaning
Best for families, pet owners and busy households that don't want dust, dirt and everyday mess to build up.
Biweekly cleaning service
A professional clean every two weeks keeps most homes consistently tidy without weekly service.
Monthly house cleaning
A regular reset for homes that stay fairly tidy between visits.
One-time house cleaning
Hosting guests, getting ready for an event, or trying us out first? Book a single cleaning with no commitment.

Standard cleaning vs. deep cleaning
Standard cleaning is maintenance for a home that's already in good shape.
If your home has built-up grime, soap scum or grease, or hasn't had a thorough clean in a while, start with a deep cleaning. Then recurring standard cleaning keeps it that way.
Add-on services
Standard cleaning covers routine tasks. Add any of these when you book:
- Inside the oven
- Inside the fridge
- Interior windows
- Dishes
- Laundry
- Post-construction cleaning
Specialty work like carpet shampooing, wall washing or heavy buildup removal falls under deep cleaning or a specialist service.
