Deep Clean
Our deep clean is what Monkey Shine Cleaning suggests on a first time visit, due to the build up of dirt. This gets your house in top shape for our maintenance cleaning plan. This is our best package. Our deep clean option takes longer and cost a bit more, but it is really worth it in the end.
Why the extra time?
A first time cleaning of a new residential account is more like a "spring cleaning" and needs extra staff time to remove the extra soil and build-up. We may spend anywhere from 4 to 8 times longer to clean a first time residential account than an existing clients home.
A customer who has never had their home professionally cleaned is likely to have soil build up through out the house. Or if we are taking over an account from another residential cleaning contractor, it's likely the customer decided to make a change because they weren't happy with the quality of cleaning. In this case you're probably going to run into areas that haven't been properly cleaned for a while. Staff will need extra time to remove the build up of soil or dust. Bathrooms and kitchens will also need extra scrubbing. Most everything will need hand wiping . It is essential to get a home back to a maintenance level.
Every deep clean includes the general clean list items cleaned by hand with detail, emphasis and focus on build up, plus the following:
Ceiling fans are hand washed or wiped
Cobwebs removed
Blinds and shutters are vacuumed or hand wiped with micro fiber
Moldings and wood work, window sills and lock ledges all hand wiped
Baseboards are hand wiped when reachable without moving furniture

What type of service should I choose?
For those who have a very busy lifestyle and are in need of a routine cleaning schedule or for those of you who are looking for a one-time cleaning, we have the right solution for you! Here are the recommended schedules and the different types of cleaning services that Monkey Shine Cleaning have to offer.
Weekly Service: This is great for individuals and families who have no time to clean on a weekly basis but can maintain every day clutter. If organization is an issue, we do offer these services if we are notified in advance so that we may book your time accordingly. We love offering solutions to those in need of more time in their busy schedules!
Bi-Weekly Service:This is a wonderful service for those who participate in their own weekly maintenance and cleaning of their home, but need additional help and assistance with some of the "heavier" cleaning. This is not meant as the only solution to your housekeeping needs. Their is a joint participation of both parties to keep your home clean and sanitary.
Monthly Service:This is perfect for people who are very adept at keeping their home clean and organized, but wish to have a deeper cleaning done once a month for upkeep purposes. If left unattended, dirt, dust and grime will build up to a degree that will require you to pay for an "initial cleaning: if not maintained in between.
House Watching and Snow Bird Programs
If you are locking your property up for one month or for several months at a time, it is not a good idea to just assume that all will be fine until you return home. Not having a qualified company looking in on your home and property on a regular scheduled basis is an invitation to all kinds of potential problems such as insect infestation, unauthorized pool and house use, mold and or mildew damage, odors and water damage from leaks, theft and or vandalism, and any number of other examples.
We highly recommend
Inspections of the exterior of the property for:
Storm damage
Visible insect infestation
Evidence of illegal entry
Unsolicted newspapers in the driveway and mailbox (a very visible indication you are away for a period of time)
Inspect the interior of the property for:
Visible insect infestation
Evidence of illegal entry
Visible storm damage
Mold and or mildew growths and odors
Keeping your home fresh by:
Flushing toilets and adding deodorizer
Run water in all taps for several minutes
Verify thermostat settings are operating correctly
Verify electronic timers are set and operational (if applicable)
General cleaning at least once per month
Notes:
Keeping in mind that just about every home/homeowner is different, we have made a very basic inspection list.
We understand that you may have individual priorities and needs above and beyond what we have listed, in saying so we would invite and encourage any input that you may have.
In instances where we find visible evidence of storm damage, whether it be from wind, fallen trees, water, etc., you will be contacted for instructions on how you would like us to assist you in taking care of any situation in your absence. We can contact, with your approval, any local contractors for repairs that are needed to be taken care of.
In instances where we find any visible evidence of illegal entry or vandalism, the appropriate authorities will be contacted and they will in turn contact you. In your absence we will take any necessary steps needed to help you with any action necessary to remedy the situation until your arrival back home.
Should minor repairs to any part of your property be required, we can arrange to have work done by a local contractor, with your written permission. Charges for the above services are as flexible as your needs.
