House Cleaning in Charleston

Pricing depends on square footage, number of bathrooms, frequency and condition — most companies quote after a walkthrough or a detailed phone call. Recurring service almost always costs less per visit than one-offs.

A standard clean maintains: surfaces, floors, bathrooms, kitchen. A deep clean resets: baseboards, inside appliances, grout, vents, window tracks and build-up a standard visit does not touch. Most companies require a first deep clean before starting recurring service.

No, and most recurring clients are not. Agree on entry — lockbox, code or key — and put it in writing along with what happens with pets and alarms.

Ask for a move-out checklist that matches your lease requirements, and keep the receipt. Many Charleston property managers accept a professional move-out clean as evidence when a deposit is disputed.

In our humidity, most homes benefit from professional carpet cleaning once a year, more often with pets, kids or sandy beach traffic. Ask about dry time — hot water extraction takes hours to dry in a humid house.
