Better Home Care
Your home and possessions are among your most valuable and most treasured assets. Nevertheless, most of our customers are simply too busy to clean those with the time or care that they deserve. SET Cleaning will provide better home care.
Our First Visit
Our first cleaning visit is more like spring cleaning or perhaps “catch up” cleaning. Before we can begin regularly scheduled cleaning of a home, there are a variety of first-time tasks that require extra time and effort. There is a big difference between “old dirt” and “new dirt.” If we don’t get rid of the old dirt, no matter how hard we try, simply removing new dirt isn’t going to make your home sparkle. It is not uncommon for us to spend two to four times longer on a first-time clean than it takes us on regular, repeat maintenance visits!
Throughout the Home
Perhaps no one has vacuumed behind or beneath the sofa for months. Bookshelves, baseboards, windowsills, and windows are prime areas for long periods of neglect and may require extra initial “TLC”. Kitchen cabinets, counter tops, and appliances usually require extra attention on our first visit. Greasy fingerprints and other dirt seem to make their way through everyone’s home, especially in the kitchen. It doesn’t take long for kitchen dust to become impregnated with grease, which is more difficult and time-consuming to clean than a week’s worth of ordinary surface dirt. If we don’t spend the time and effort to get the shower doors, shower-door tracks, shower, bathtub surfaces, plumbing fixtures, and floors thoroughly cleaned during the initial visit, these objects won’t look really clean no matter how often we visit.
Access to Your Home
Since we clean during normal business hours while many of our customers are at work, we need to get into your home to provide the service. Once we’ve cleaned your home for the first-time and you approve of our work, the most reliable access for future visits is a copy of your house key(s). This is the way most of our customers allow us access.
