how to clean a house professionally checklist

You will need to create a house cleaning checklist to refer to when cleaning homes and to give to your customers. The checklist helps you to remember exactly what you will be cleaning each and every time you clean a home.

Also, it should be made available on your website and can be sent to or left at the customers home so they know exactly what you will be cleaning.

The key when creating a checklist is to research house cleaning services in your area to compare your list to theirs. You want to make sure your list is comparable to the other services in your area so you can be competitive with your pricing and with the cleaning tasks that you offer.

Here is the house cleaning checklist template I use for my company to give you an idea.

Spring/Deep Cleaning Tasks

Everything included in the regular cleaning plus:

I find this list to be very comparable to what most house cleaning services offer, give or take what should or should not be included in the spring/deep cleaning.

You can adjust this checklist to what seems to be the norm in your area and what you feel is the best fit for your cleaning business.
