To make sure that your home is cleaned to your satisfaction each time, MaidThis makes the process of cleaning part of our orientation. After a careful screening and multi-step hiring process, MaidThis maids undergo a detailed orientation and a background check before they enter your living space.
MaidThis maid orientation offers many benefits. No matter who cleans your home or vacation rental, it will be done in the same order. Corners will be swept for cobwebs and light fixtures will be dry dusted. Linens will be washed, beds made and trash cans emptied. Because MaidThis maids clean from the top down, you can be assured of a clean floor and a clean home in each space.
Housekeeping Services Can Keep Your Family Healthier
Part of the MaidThis cleaning procedure is to disinfect shared surfaces. There are many pathogens that can linger on hard surfaces, from light switch plates to kitchen counters.
The cleaning steps used by MaidThis maids will leave each of these shared surfaces fully disinfected. On a weekly basis, this cleaning can lessen the risk that your family will share a virus or that guests will either bring or pick up pathogens from inside your home.
MaidThis maids also work to keep dust from building up. Dust is a trigger for many allergies and can leave some family members more vulnerable to infection.
OUR CLEANING PROCESS
Long List of Satisfied Clients
Protect Your Overall Air Quality
MaidThis brings their own cleaning products or can use the ones you prefer. When you enter a home that has been cleaned by a MaidThis professional, it doesn’t smell like cleaners. It smells clean.
Your maid will also dust the furniture and decorative accessories, vacuum the carpets, and mop the floors. Your maid service will also remove the cobwebs from all the corners.
Indications of poor air quality
Air that is stagnant or stale is an indication of standing dust in the home. Air that smells like a chemical cleaner or a deodorizer is an indication of grime that’s been covered up instead of cleaned up.
Cleaning Different Areas of Your Home
MaidThis professionals start each cleaning routine at the top of the room. Dust and cobwebs are addressed to lower the concentration of airborne dust. Carpets and soft furnishings will be vacuumed to make sure that settled dust is cleared away.
In kitchens and bathrooms, standing dust can be compounded by moisture exposure. Our dry dusting schedule prevents this build-up. Hard surfaces are sanitized for safety and mirrors are polished. Linens are washed and replaced, both in bathrooms and bedrooms.
Finally, floors are either vacuumed thoroughly or swept and mopped. Trash cans are emptied, wiped out and relined. High-touch surfaces are disinfected.

Cabinet Cleaning and Organizing
Having someone to help empty and wipe out cabinets is of critical importance when you need to reorganize. Perhaps you can’t reach far back into lower cabinets. Your MaidThis professional can! If you have decisions to make about what to keep, your maid can help you organize as things get put away.
Refrigerator Cleaning
The glass shelving inside your refrigerator can get incredibly heavy, especially if it’s wet and soapy. If you want help organizing and sorting, it’s important that you’re available for questions from your maid.
Oven Cleaning
Ugh, what one spill can do to an oven! Not everyone can tolerate the smell of oven cleaner, and it takes flexibility to get down there and deep clean the surfaces. If you’re sensitive to oven cleaner, let us know and we’ll do that early in the deep cleaning to let the fragrance clear out.
