Well, it’s a large home.
Here are a few things we clean when we clean a large home (or any home for that matter):
- We clean everything in the bathrooms except the paint
- In the kitchen we pull all the items on the counter away from the walls. We clean the counters where the counter items were. We clean what is on the counters, put everything back and then clean the front of the counters.
- We clean the outside of fridge
- We clean the stovetop, stove knobs, the backsplash and the front of the stove.
- We will clean the outside of the fridge and dishwasher.
- We clean the sink and faucet to be spotless
- In the kitchen we vacuum and mop the floor
- The dust the entire home
- We will vacuum any flooring and mop any hard flooring.
How long it takes to clean a large home depends on the home and the desires of the owner. Large homes and owners all have different needs. We always adjust to what the owner needs most.
Our general housekeeping service helps keep the house from feeling overwhelming to the homeowner. Keeping up with small things helps the bigger chores go smoother.

Personal Story About Large House Cleaning: When I first moved to St. George, I cleaned a very large luxury home in Santa Clara for a while. It was 8300 SF and had 5 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms. They wanted the entire home cleaned every time. It was an all day job. Two interesting notes: That was the only home I ever cleaned that had a suit of armor. It was in the main hall. They also owned a Rolls Royce. Rolls Royces are almost non-existent in St George.
They had made their money by buying a fixer-upper motel, fixing it up and then selling it.

That huge home still needed standard housecleaning, like every home that we clean.

Sometimes a home needs more than the usual wipe down. A deep clean hits all the forgotten spots. In a large home that’s a long list.
This list covers regular size homes, large homes, and large luxury homes. We can also deep clean rentals, short-term rental homes, and second homes.
We clean what is expected in a standard cleaning plus more. Below is some of what we do, but ultimately we will do what you want us to do. In other words we will customize the cleaning to fit your needs:

How do you get your home ready for a deep cleaning?
About the only thing you might needUsually you don’t need to pick up toys, magazines, etc. As long as we can figure out where things go, we will put items away.
A few other things to note:
We can clean after a remodeling job.
We don’t move furniture just because of the weight. You can move furniture and we will clean under and behind it.
What we use to clean
We use water and Dawn dishwashing detergent mixed in a spray bottle to do our cleaning. I know that my cleaner, Krisandra, uses a scented floor cleaner. It’s not an overwhelming smell, it just helps to make the home smell clean after she’s done.
How Often Should You Have Your Home Deep Cleaned?
How often a deep cleaning is done is up to you. One time only, once per year, twice a year, whatever feels right to you.
What is the cost for deep house cleaning in St. George?
The price is $40/hour and you can have us stay as long as needed.
Reddit about large house cleaning
People in biggerish houses who don’t hire help, what’s your cleaning routine like?
It just always feels like nothing is ever done even though I’m pretty tidy.
I’ve tried doing the task a day, for instance mopping the whole house one day etc but it legitimately is too much work for one person!
SOS.
Answer: My husband was annoyed that I spent 380 on a robot vacuum like, 4 years ago. Within a WEEK he was converted and saying he would buy another one the very next day if it stopped working. We've since named our robot vacuum and refer to him as a family member hahaha. With two cats, a dog, and a toddler, this is some of the best money I've spent!!
Answer: I learned this from a YouTuber, or something similar but don’t remember who.
Mirror Mondays, wipe all surfaces
Toilet Tuesdays (and bathroom in general)
Washer Wednesday (bedding & towels)
Trash Thursday’s
Floor Fridays
Scurry Saturday (1hr reset & declutter)
Setup Sunday (clean laundry & meal prep for the week)

Large Home Cleaning Tips / Tricks
Cleaning Hacks:
Why do my picture windows streak so fast?
For streaky windows, clean them when the glass is cool. Your best bet with windows is to call our sister company, First Impressions Window Cleaning. They will get windows spotlessly clean.
How do I clean tall fans?
For tall fans, get long tools or let us handle it.
How do I stop dust on blinds?
For blinds, frequent dusting helps a lot. Just use a feather duster or water to clean. No oils or soaps as those get dust sticking to them.
Cleaning a large home room by room may be over-whelming.
Instead do one small task at a time. For example clean the outside of the kitchen appliances one day, then clean the kitchen counters the next day.
Cleaning supplies:
Have cleaning seperate cleaning supplies for each bathroom and for the kitchen. It's alway odd to me to clean a home for the first time and find that there are no cleaning supplies in the bathrooms.
Conserve your energy (and sanity)
Of course concentrate your efforts on cleaning rooms that are used the most and leave the other rooms for when you have a lot of energy.

Large House moving-related cleaning items | Move-in and Move-out cleaning of large homes
We help people move out of Stone Cliff homes or into The Ledges homes. Moving-related cleaning takes more time in large homes, but it makes a huge difference. It also helps renters get deposits back.
If you’re moving out of a large home, you’ll notice dirt behind couches, under beds, on blinds, windowsills, and all the corners.
Moving related cleaning is really a bunch of small cleaning chores. Once everything is done, the home is spotless.
