Standard Cleaning – New York Home Cleaning Services

Maintain Your Shine with Gantry Prime Shine

Our Standard Home Cleaning is the perfect solution for maintaining a consistently fresh and tidy home between deeper cleans. This routine service focuses on high-traffic areas and essential tasks to keep your living space comfortable and welcoming.

Focus of a Standard Clean:

This service is designed for upkeep and maintenance, addressing the visible surfaces and common areas that need regular attention.

Typical Tasks Include:

Surfaces & Dusting: Dusting accessible furniture, shelves, and decor; wiping down countertops, tables, and appliance exteriors.
Floors: Sweeping, vacuuming carpets/rugs, and mopping hard floors in all main areas.
Kitchen Essentials: Cleaning the stovetop, wiping exterior cabinet fronts, sanitizing the sink, and wiping down exterior appliances.
Bathroom Basics: Cleaning and disinfecting the toilet, sink, and shower/tub; wiping mirrors and counters; emptying trash.
General Tidying: Making beds (with your linens), emptying trash receptacles throughout the home, and light tidying of surfaces.

How It Differs from a Deep Clean:

While thorough, a Standard Clean does not include moving heavy furniture, cleaning inside appliances, detailed interior cabinet wiping, scrubbing grout, or washing windows and walls. It maintains the cleanliness achieved by a Deep Clean.

Perfect For:

Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly maintenance.
Homes that have already undergone a deep clean.
Busy households looking to save time on routine chores.

Let us handle the routine, so you can simply enjoy your clean home.
