Seasonal Cleaning

A home that sits empty for weeks or months doesn't stay clean the way an occupied one does — dust settles undisturbed, humidity leaves its mark, and closed-up rooms need more than a quick wipe-down before they're truly livable again. Seasonal Cleaning applies our full Deep Cleaning checklist — baseboards, window sills and tracks, ceiling fan blades, detailed kitchen and bathroom work — to exactly that situation, whether you're opening the home back up or closing it down for the season.

How We Work

  1. 1

    Detailed Bedroom & Living Area Work

    Baseboards, window sills, window tracks, ceiling fan blades, and light fixtures — wiped down, not just dusted, to clear the buildup that accumulates in a closed-up home.

  2. 2

    Intensive Bathroom Detail

    Grout scrubbing, chrome polishing, and cabinet exteriors — addressing the humidity-related buildup Florida homes see after sitting closed.

  3. 3

    Thorough Kitchen Deep Clean

    Range hood exterior, behind and under small appliances, and cabinet exteriors throughout — the areas a routine clean doesn't reach.

  4. 4

    Floors and Final Areas

    Thorough vacuum including edges and corners, followed by mopping throughout.

  5. 5

    Pre-Departure Walkthrough

    A full room-by-room check before we leave, so the home is ready whether you're walking in or locking up.

This is the same rigorous formula as our Deep Cleaning service: significant dwell time in every room, not just the surfaces that get touched daily. If your home has been sitting closed for an extended stretch, this is the right starting point rather than a routine maintenance clean — it gets the home back to a baseline your regular cleaning schedule can then maintain.

Transparent Pricing

Book it for your arrival date to walk into a genuinely reset home, or before you leave for the season to close things up properly. Optional add-ons — inside oven, inside fridge, blinds, interior doors — are available and itemized in your quote.

Your price is calculated based on:

  • Number of bedrooms
  • Number of bathrooms
  • Home square footage
  • Optional add-ons selected

No calls, no callbacks, no vague estimates — your itemized total is shown before you confirm.

Seasonal Cleaning — Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from Deep Cleaning?+

It's the same thorough formula and pricing as our Deep Cleaning service — the difference is context. Seasonal Cleaning is framed around a home that's been closed up, whether you're reopening it or shutting it down for the season.

Should I book this or Vacation Home Cleaning?+

If your home has been vacant for an extended stretch and needs a real reset — dust buildup, humidity, closed-up rooms — start with Seasonal Cleaning. If it's been occupied or recently cleaned and just needs to be arrival-ready, Vacation Home Cleaning is the lighter option.

Can I book this before I close up the house for the season?+

Yes — many owners book a closing clean before an extended absence in addition to a reopening clean when they return.

Do you handle humidity or mildew issues?+

Our detailed bathroom and kitchen work addresses surface-level humidity buildup — grout, fixtures, and cabinet exteriors. Significant mold or mildew concerns may need a specialized service; mention any concerns in your booking notes and we'll advise.

How is the price calculated?+

The same way as Deep Cleaning — bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, and any add-ons. The instant quote tool shows your exact total before you book.

Do I need to be there during the cleaning?+

No. Leave key or lockbox access details in your booking notes and the team handles everything, whether you're arriving later that day or already gone for the season.
