Checklist page

We focus on the most important cleaning areas in your home first.

Our checklist is used as a GUIDELINE for cleaning your home. The overall CONDITION of your home determines how much our cleaner will be able to complete. We first focus on areas of your home that require the most attention (example: kitchen and/or bathroom).

For our NEW customers, we start you off with our Introductory Cleaning (Deep Cleaning). This deep cleaning allows our cleaners to give you more of an extensive Maid To Love cleaning experience.

Your cleaning can also be customized to fit your specific cleaning needs. If you have any questions about our services or booking an appointment, please give us a call at 770-695-7189 or email us at [email protected].
