Standard Clean

Arrive Home to A Sparkling House After Every Clean

Standard Clean

Do you clean on occasion but never get the time to hit every room at once? Want to spend more time enjoying all the food, entertainment, and outdoor spaces available in Portland? That is what we at Clean Arrival are here for and our recurring standard clean service may be perfect for you. We understand that it takes time and effort to clean your home top to bottom, time that you could use to enjoy the city with your friends and family.
Recommended for regular upkeep, our standard cleans (also called maintenance cleans) aim to stop built up dirt and grime from occurring in the first place, so you can spend less time focusing on chores and housework and more time focusing on enjoying time with friends and family. Our professional house cleaners are trained to go above and beyond expectations so that each cleaning service builds upon the previous.
With the flexibility to schedule recurring house cleanings on a one-time, monthly, biweekly, and weekly basis, we can find a convenient and consistent schedule to fit your needs.

How do I know a standard clean is right for me?

We don’t require deep cleans for first-time visits like the majority of cleaning companies do. That being said if you’re on the fence about the type of service you’re looking for, we do recommend a deep clean. Scheduling a deep clean means our cleaners have the ability to take the additional time and effort to make sure we meet all your needs. As a result, you get to start fresh with your home maintenance and we become familiar with your unique home at the same time a standard maintenance clean can be a great way to save money and still get an exceptional clean. If your house is already organized and up kept, but you could use a helping hand on a regular basis a standard recurring house cleaning is the way to go.

***Please inform cleaners and management of the type of flooring and finish in your home. Our standard method of cleaning hardwood, title, and non-carpeted flooring is to wet mop using a diluted biodegradable solution. If this is not the appropriate method for cleaning your floors, please inform management to avoid any damage.
****Our flat-rate pricing assumes that your home is of average size for the number of beds and baths you have selected and meets a reasonable level of cleanliness. If the rooms are large than average or dirtier than average our staff may require more time to complete the service requested or may have to reduce their scope of work. If the home is not found to be in “Average” condition or size and takes more than an extra 1 hour to clean we reserve the right to adjust pricing if the client wishes us to continue.
