What a standard Des Moines visit covers
A standard visit is routine house cleaning for a Des Moines home you live in. Supplies and equipment come with the cleaner. The lists below are what that visit includes. The inside of the oven, the inside of the fridge, cabinet interiors, washing the walls, and windows, blinds or ceiling fans are not on this visit. They are optional on a deep clean, and only when you select them on the booking form.
Kitchen
- Sanitize the counters and the sink
- Degrease the stovetop and wipe appliance fronts, microwave exterior included
- Carry the kitchen trash out
Bathrooms
- Scrub the toilet, tub, shower and sink
- Wipe the mirror, the faucet and the other fixtures
Bedrooms and living areas

- Vacuum the carpets and mop hard flooring
- Empty the bins and leave the room orderly
Standard cleaning, deep cleaning or move-out
Choose by how the home sits today. Standard cleaning maintains a house, condo or apartment you are living in. Deep cleaning, typically $204–$400, is the slower visit for grease, soap film and grime, including a first professional clean or a gap of a month or longer. Move-out cleaning in Des Moines, typically $239–$500+, is the vacant-home visit: keys going back, a closing, or the day your furniture comes in. Closets are included because the rooms are empty.
Want one appointment and no weekly plan? That is one-time house cleaning in Des Moines, either standard or deep. A repeating maid service is recurring cleaning: 20% off weekly, 15% off biweekly and 10% off monthly, and only on standard prices. Deep and move-out stay at their published ranges. The same numbers are on pricing, and booking online shows the Des Moines total before you pay.
| Standard | Deep | Move-out | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Use it when | Lived-in upkeep | First visit, or a month-plus gap | Empty home at a handoff |
| Kitchen and baths | Counters, sink, stovetop, appliance fronts; toilet, tub, shower, sink and mirror | Those rooms, with more time on stuck-on grease and soap film | The same rooms, reached because the home is vacant |
| Dust and floors | Furniture, shelves, ledges, reachable baseboards, vacuum and mop | A slower pass, including along the walls | Edge to edge, closets included |
| Add-ons | Not part of this visit | Oven, fridge and cabinet interiors; wall washing; windows, blinds and fans | Those tasks, plus a garage, patio or basement if you select them |
| Typical price | $139–$189, $209–$239, or $249–$400+ by bedroom count | $204–$400, any size | $239–$500+ |
