Cleaning checklist · by room

The whole-house cleaning checklist: 10 tasks on every visit.

On every visit, a Hometress cleaner works through 10 whole-house tasks, from ceiling fans dusted to wipe down door handles and light switches. All 4 tiers keep those 10. Deep adds 1, Move adds 4 and Dream Home adds 6 here, for 21 on Dream Home.

03 · What moves the price

The size band is the line that grows.

Standard starts at $170. The booking form counts bedrooms and baths but not rooms by name, so no receipt line is the whole house's own. What grows with a bigger home is the size band you pick, no charge for Cozy to $90 for Luxury. The line is the same on every tier.

Priced by the booking flow from the published catalog, version 20. Sales tax is added at checkout.
