The paper towel test… every cleaner’s favorite 😅🫠
A client wets the floor after a cleaning, wipes it with a paper towel, and sends a picture saying, “Did you even clean my floors?”

Here’s the part most people don’t realize:

1. A standard mop — even multiple passes — will NOT pass the paper towel test.
2. To achieve a truly “wipe-clean” floor, your cleaner is usually hand scrubbing on their hands and knees for HOURS.
3. It’s an entirely different service than a standard maintenance clean, and it WILL be priced accordingly.

This picture is from ONE small section of floor.
It took multiple rounds of scrubbing, wiping, rinsing, and repeating just to get close to a clean paper towel. And yes… I still went back over it again because I’m picky like that 😂

A few things clients should know:
A. Maintenance cleans and deep floor restoration are NOT the same thing.
B. If you want a “white paper towel approved” floor, communicate that upfront so your cleaner can quote appropriately.
C. Not every cleaner offers this service — and that’s okay. It is extremely hard on the body and very time consuming.
D. Shoes in the house, pets, kids, daily traffic, and time between cleanings all impact how long floors stay clean.

At the end of the day, realistic expectations matter. A maintenance clean is designed to keep your home fresh and maintained — not permanently spotless between visits.

And if you truly want floors that stay cleaner longer?
Regular upkeep between appointments, removing shoes indoors, and investing in something like a robo vacuum/mop honestly makes a HUGE difference!! And it’ll make your cleaner love you even more 😘

Personally, these types of before and after transformations are a favorite of mine!! It’s work, but man the end result is ✨

Friendly PSA from your cleaner because this comes up a LOT!!

A standard clean and a deep clean are not the same service — and knowing the difference helps me give you accurate pricing and enough time to do the job right!

Standard Cleaning
This is for homes that are already fairly maintained and need upkeep cleaning.
Typically includes:
• kitchens cleaned/sanitized
• bathroom cleaning
• dusting surfaces
• vacuuming & mopping
• trash removal
• general wipe downs/tidying
This is your regular maintenance clean.

Deep Cleaning
This is more detailed, time-intensive, and meant for buildup, neglected areas, or first-time cleans.
May include:
• heavy soap scum or grease removal
• baseboards/detail work
• doors, trim & walls wiped down
• buildup behind/toilets & fixtures
• deep scrubbing in kitchens/bathrooms
• hand-detailing areas that aren’t part of routine maintenance cleans
• buildup removal in high-touch or overlooked areas
A deep clean usually takes significantly longer and requires more labor/products — which is why pricing is different.
If you’re unsure which service your home needs, no worries at all! Send photos or a quick walkthrough description and I can help point you in the right direction 🤍

Most of my “I want a deep cleaning” messages end up being my standard cleaning, because I always do extras! A true deep cleaning requires serious elbow grease 😉

When a potential client says “that’s too expensive”
Respectfully…
you’re not just paying for cleaning.
You’re paying for someone else to do the work your body is avoiding

Helped out a fellow cleaner here at Fairchild today and cleaned this bathroom for her on a move out cleaning 🙂. So satisfying ✨
