Dependable Recurring Cleaning in Fort Collins

General or basic cleaning is a maintenance style of cleaning. It is most commonly performed weekly, every other week, or at least on a monthly basis. This kind of cleaning is intended to keep your house in Fort Collins in working order week in, week out. It is therefore an indispensable part of a solid home upkeep routine.

Basic cleaning involves the essential chores that no household could do without. At Reliable Cleaning Service, our extensive basic cleaning checklist covers all of the standard cleaning duties that are necessary for the routine upkeep of the home. Take a look at what we offer.

Kitchen

• Cleaning top to bottom, left to right (all dusting except globe lights that are loose or unstable in some way and tops of kitchen cabinets)
• We’ll clean all counters by moving items to clean under them and the backsplash (please let us know if you have stone that needs special care). Old grease stains may need time and multiple cleanings for us to get rid of them. Grease on paint is not guaranteed to come out. More often than not, the paint will come off before the grease does.

• Spot clean fronts of cabinets for spills and dust (occasionally they will need washing)
• Window and sill above kitchen sink (inside only)
• Kitchen sink and drain (we brush the rubber seal)
• Inside and outside of microwave including the vent (underside is extra and done as a deep clean service if it is part of the range set)
• Top, front and sides of all appliances (If fridge top is used as storage we will not move all items unless this is part of your flat rate and agreed upon ahead of time)
• Clean and polish sink and fixtures
• Dining tables and chairs
• Glass doors: inside and outside if weather permits
• Mop and vacuum floors and area rugs
• Wipe down trash cans

Bathrooms

• Clean top to bottom, left to right
• High and low dusting
• Lights and mirrors (loose light globes will be avoided)
• Spot Clean cabinets, doors and light switches and baseboards
• Toilets: total clean inside and out (we do not clean biohazards such as feces, blood, vomit, or animal waste)
• Showers and tubs: Tile, glass and tracks, under all product, maintenance of grout (we cannot clean black mold stained grout, this needs a specialist)

• Sinks
• Doors: sanitizing knobs every time and maintenance wiping of all dust and prints
• Floors: hand wiping around toilets and full mopping and drying
• Hand wipe baseboards
• Wipe outside of trash can

Dusting

• We perform high and low dusting (pole duster for fans, recessed lights, window ledges and vents, feather duster and microfiber rag for all other dusting) baseboards as needed.
• Glass doors are cleaned inside and outside, weather permitting.
• We wet wipe window sills.
• Blinds, in good condition, will be feather dusted. If the blinds are very dusty, it may take several cleanings for the blinds to look their best. If arrangements have been made, and your blinds are in good condition, we may wet wipe your blinds. Over time, blinds and strings/cords will become brittle and weakened from exposure to the sun and wear and tear of usage resulting in damage or breaks. In some cases, it can be cheaper to replace blinds than to clean.
• Lightweight furniture and items are moved during floor cleaning, and furniture is cleaned underneath. Carpet, area rugs, edges and stairs are vacuumed.
• Hard surface floors are vacuumed, or dust mopped before wet mopping.
• Hard surface floors are mopped.
• Hardwood floors are dried after mopping.
• Light switches and door knobs are wiped.
• If accessible, and safe, areas around and under electronics will be feather dusted.

When Reliable Cleaning Services performs your basic cleaning in Fort Collins or the area, we will be thorough and detailed with high traffic areas. For example, the kitchen sink, countertops, and the outside of appliances all require weekly upkeep. Other chores, which do not need regular attention, will be performed on a rotation basis.

Any extra detailed cleaning (eg. cabinets fully washed, inside of the fridge or oven etc.) may be added, or removed as your wants, needs, or budget change.

How long your basic cleaning will take has to do with various factors. Overall, the size of the home and the number of rooms are important, so you can expect the cleaning to take longer if your house is a large family home than if it’s a studio. Also, your cleaning will require more time if you choose to customize it with additional duties.
