If you have ever wondered what services a cleaning company provides, you are not alone. Some cleaning companies cater to residential clients, while others focus on commercial cleaning. Still others focus on both types of customers, providing more than just the average dusting and vacuuming. Let us delve a bit deeper into the tasks commonly involved in residential cleaning.
For most of us, kitchen cleaning involves wiping the counters and appliances and cleaning out the sink. A cleaning service does much more, providing the blinds, ceiling fans or lighting, and wall hangings with a thorough dusting. Cabinets are cleaned and air vents, baseboards, and window sills are dusted. The floor is vacuumed and provided with a good mopping when needed.
In general areas throughout the home, the cleaning service
- dusts blinds,

Workers also dust window sills, baseboards, and air vents. Mirrors and other glass items are cleaned and furniture is dusted and then polished. Any knickknacks or shelves are also dusted. Floors are vacuumed, swept, or mopped, as appropriate and furniture is vacuumed when necessary.
Cleaning the bathroom involves the standard dusting and vacuuming before the heavy work begins. The counter and sink are cleaned and all faucets are polished. Cleaning the toilet involves an interior and exterior sanitizing. In the shower or tub area, the fiberglass or tiles are scrubbed. Tile grout cleaning ensures that mildew does not build up in the shower.
In the laundry room, dusting and vacuuming takes place and the exterior of all appliances is cleaned. If a utility sink is present, it is cleaned and the chrome is polished. As the workers move throughout the home, they collect and consolidate the trash and take it to the outdoor trash cans. Once a home has been visited by a cleaning service, it looks brand new.
