What a maintenance clean is

A consistently fresh home, built around your life.

A Maintenance Clean is our recurring residential cleaning service — surface cleaning, kitchen and bathroom sanitation, and general tidying, delivered on the cadence that fits your household. It is the right service for a home that is already in good condition and needs consistent upkeep rather than a full reset.

Every visit follows the same documented checklist so the outcome is predictable. Same team where possible, same products, same standard — whether it is your first visit or your fiftieth.

Bedrooms and living spaces reset, not rushed

Maintenance visits follow a fixed checklist so nothing gets skipped on a busy week — beds made, floors done, bathrooms wiped, kitchen reset.

  • Dusting of accessible surfaces from high to low
  • Floors vacuumed and hard floors washed
  • Bathrooms sanitized and mirrors left streak-free
  • Kitchen counters, sink and exterior appliances wiped
Who it's for

Built for homes that need consistent upkeep

Maintenance cleaning is designed for homes that are already in reasonably good condition. Homes with heavy buildup need a Deep Clean first; after a long gap or lighter buildup we may recommend one, but the choice stays yours.

  • Homes already in good condition
  • Households wanting weekly, every-2-week or every-4-week upkeep
  • Busy families, working professionals, and pet owners
  • One-time refreshes between guests, tenants or visitors

If your home has heavy buildup, a Deep Clean is required before Maintenance service. If it has simply been several months since a professional clean, or there is light-to-moderate buildup, we may recommend starting with a Deep Clean to properly reset the home — but you may still choose Maintenance after reviewing its limitations.

The NeighbourCare standard

Consistency is the whole point

Recurring cleaning only works when it is reliable. That is what we are built for.

Consistent cleaners

We aim to send the same cleaner or team whenever scheduling allows. If a substitution is needed, the replacement receives the relevant job details and service scope before arrival.

Flexible scheduling

Pause, reschedule, or adjust your cadence any time from your client portal — no phone calls required.

On-time, every time

Reliable arrival windows and consistent checklists so every visit meets the same premium standard.

How booking works

What to expect when you build your plan

Maintenance cleans are quoted instantly in the booking form — here is how the flow works from quote to payment.

Priced on square footage

Your quote starts from the square footage of your home, then adjusts for bedrooms, bathrooms, service level and the condition you select. The live price updates as you answer — no hourly billing, no service fee.

48 hours' notice, real arrival windows

Bookings need at least 48 hours (2 full days) of lead time — earlier dates are blocked in the calendar. You then pick an arrival window between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM in 30-minute increments, and we show an estimated finish time.

Card on file, charged after the clean

There is no standard service charge at booking. Completed services are charged after the clean, while applicable cancellation, rescheduling, no-access or started-service fees may be charged according to our Terms. Cards are stored by Stripe, and returning clients can book in one tap with a saved card.

Recurring savings, no contract

Choose a plan and save 5% every 4 weeks, 12% bi-weekly, or 15% weekly from your second visit onward. Skip, pause or cancel anytime from your client portal.

Homes 3,000 sq ft or more, homes with 6 or more bedrooms, and specialty requests are quoted by our team instead of the live calculator — you receive the full price for approval before a cleaner is assigned. There is no service charge at booking — service and applicable policy fees are charged according to our Terms.

FAQ

Maintenance cleaning questions

How often should I book a maintenance clean?+

You can book a Maintenance Clean one time, or recurring weekly, every 2 weeks, or every 4 weeks. Every 2 weeks suits most homes; busy households, larger families and pet owners often prefer weekly, while already-tidy homes usually find every 4 weeks is enough. Recurring plans save 5% (every 4 weeks), 12% (every 2 weeks) or 15% (weekly) from the second visit onward.

Do you bring your own cleaning supplies?+

Yes. Our team arrives with commercial-grade, non-toxic cleaning products and all the equipment needed. If you prefer we use your products for any reason (allergies, finish concerns, personal preference), just let us know when booking.

Is a maintenance clean okay if my home hasn't been cleaned in a while?+

Maintenance is priced and scoped for homes already in good condition, so we will usually recommend starting with a Deep Clean. If you select Heavy Buildup in the booking form, a Deep Clean is required — the visit simply is not scoped or timed for that work. For lighter buildup, or a home that has not been cleaned in a while, the Deep Clean is a recommendation you can decline and stay on Maintenance.

Can we skip a visit or change our cadence?+

Yes. Recurring plans can be paused, skipped, or moved to a different frequency from your client portal at any time. We ask for at least 24 hours' notice before the visit so we can adjust the schedule.

Will the same cleaners come each visit?+

Whenever possible, yes. We aim to send the same cleaner or team whenever scheduling allows. If a substitution is needed, the replacement receives the relevant job details and service scope before arrival, and every cleaner follows the same documented checklist.

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?+

No. Most recurring clients provide entry instructions during booking (lockbox, garage code, or key handoff) and are away during the visit. We treat every home the same whether you are present or not.

Are pets okay to leave out during the cleaning?+

Generally yes. Let us know about any pets when booking so we can plan accordingly. For anxious pets or aggressive animals, we ask that they be secured in a separate area for the safety of both the pet and our team.
