When booking a standard maid service in Glen Ellyn, it helps to know exactly what tasks are covered during a routine visit. Unlike deep cleans or move-out services, a recurring standard cleaning focuses on maintaining the high-traffic areas and surfaces that collect dust and grime week after week. This predictability removes uncertainty and lets you enjoy a consistently fresh home without having to specify every task each time.

General Tasks in Every Room

• Dusting all reachable surfaces – including furniture, shelves, ceiling fans, light fixtures, and picture frames. In older Glen Ellyn homes with detailed woodwork, we pay extra attention to crown molding and wainscoting where dust settles visibly.
• Vacuuming carpets and rugs – all floor coverings are thoroughly vacuumed. Hardwood floors, common in many Glen Ellyn houses, are vacuumed with a soft-brush attachment and then dry-mopped to avoid streaks.
• Mopping hard floors – tile, vinyl, and hardwood floors are cleaned with appropriate products that protect the finish. No harsh chemicals that could damage older wood.
• Taking out trash and recycling – bins are emptied, and liners are replaced in all rooms.

Kitchen Cleaning

• Wiping down countertops, backsplashes, and cabinet fronts – food prep areas are sanitized, and exterior cabinet doors are cleaned to remove fingerprints and food splatter.
• Cleaning small appliances – microwave interior and exterior, coffee maker exterior, and toaster exterior.
• Sink scrubbing – the sink basin and faucet are descaled and polished.
• Stovetop cleaning – the cooktop surface and control knobs are wiped down. (Drip pans and burner grates are part of deep cleaning, not standard.)

Bathroom Cleaning

• Scrubbing and disinfecting toilets, sinks, tubs, and showers – all bathroom fixtures are cleaned and shined. Soap scum, hard water stains, and mildew are addressed with safe products.
• Wiping mirrors and glass – streak-free finish.
• Sweeping and mopping the floor – attention to corners and around the toilet base.

Bedrooms and Living Areas

• Surface dusting and polishing – nightstands, dressers, desks, and entertainment centers.
• Floor care as described above – vacuuming or mopping.
• Straightening up – pillows, throws, and light clutter are tidied, but personal items are left in place.

To ensure consistency, our team follows a detailed cleaning checklist, so you can count on the same thorough results every visit. For Glen Ellyn families, this means coming home to a reliably clean space without surprises.
