What a Regular House Cleaning Visit Includes in Santa Fe

A regular house cleaning visit keeps a home at a steady standard between deep cleans. The cleaner works through the kitchen, the bathrooms, the living areas and the bedrooms: surfaces wiped, fixtures cleaned and disinfected, carpets vacuumed, hard floors mopped and trash taken out. The slower jobs, such as baseboards, the insides of cabinets and appliances, and windows, wait for a deep clean.

Why dust takes up most of a visit in Santa Fe

High-desert wind leaves fine dust on every sill, ledge and floor in town, and it is back within days. Most of a regular visit here goes to getting it up properly. We clean with microfiber cloths and mop pads in place of cotton, because microfiber lifts fine dust where cotton tends to push it around. Every room gets a new mop pad, so whatever was on the bathroom floor does not end up in the kitchen.

How a regular visit differs from a deep clean

A regular visit is upkeep. It assumes the home has been brought up to a standard and keeps it there. A deep clean does the bringing up: baseboards and sills, cabinets and appliances inside and out, windows on both sides. Plenty of people book a deep clean first and move to regular visits after it, so each visit starts from a clean house instead of months of build-up.

How often to book

That depends on who lives there more than on the size of the house. A home with pets, children or someone with allergies usually needs a visit every week or two to keep dust and dander down. A household that is out most of the day may be fine with a visit every two to four weeks. Homes near dirt roads or open land collect dust faster and tend to need the shorter interval. We agree the frequency when we see the home, and it goes into the estimate with everything else.

What we clean with

Our teams bring Sun Green Cleaner's own green cleaning products. We leave out conventional chemical cleaners such as bleaches and detergents, which can leave residues that cause allergic and other reactions. That matters most in a home where someone is chemically sensitive, has a respiratory condition or is going through medical treatment. It also means the house does not smell of bleach when you get back.

How to judge a house cleaning service in Santa Fe

Searching for the best house cleaning service in Santa Fe mostly turns up directories and star ratings. These questions will tell you more about a company:

• Will they see the home before giving a price? A price for a house nobody has looked at can change once somebody does.
• Will they write down what each visit includes, room by room? A task that is not written down is easy to drop.
• Are they bonded, insured and licensed?
• What do they clean with, and do they bring it?
• Who do you call if something was missed?

Sun Green Cleaner is bonded, insured and licensed. We meet you at the home first, and a free, line-itemized estimate follows within 48 hours of that meeting. There is more about the service on our house cleaning in Santa Fe page, and for homes further south, house cleaning in Albuquerque.
