The service
What house cleaning (standard & recurring) is, what a visit covers and where the line is.
The short answer
House cleaning is the regular clean of a lived-in home: dusting, vacuuming and mopping every room, scrubbing and sanitizing kitchens and bathrooms, wiping surfaces, making beds and taking out the trash. House Cleaning (Standard & Recurring) in Mill Valley is booked through pros who cover its 2 ZIP codes. In Mill Valley, the dry months are the easiest for outside work, and early fall is a good time to prepare before the wet winter and the height of fire season. On NorTech each pro sets their own price and you choose the pro, so the same person can come back each time.

What is not part of house cleaning (standard & recurring)
Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.
- Any job where labor and materials together reach $1,000 or more. That work goes to a licensed contractor, so expect NorTech to flag it when you book.
- Heavy deep cleaning such as inside cabinets, baseboards, grout scrubbing and oven descaling. That is deep cleaning.
- Biohazard, mold, sewage or hoarding cleanup. These need specialist services with the proper equipment.
- Window washing outside, pressure washing and gutters. These are separate services.
- Carpet extraction and upholstery cleaning. Those are separate services.
- Repairs, plumbing, electrical and pest control. Those are done by the matching trade.

How often to book house cleaning (standard & recurring)

Put house cleaning (standard & recurring) on a plan

Before you book house cleaning (standard & recurring)
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Write down your top three priorities
List the areas that matter most to you, such as bathrooms, kitchen floors or pet hair. The pro puts effort where you care most and you notice the difference after each visit.
Tidy surfaces before the visit
Put away clothes, toys, papers and dishes so the pro can clean the surfaces instead of moving things. Clear counters and floors make the time count.
Say which products you prefer
If you have allergies, pets or sensitive surfaces, name the products to avoid or supply your own. Natural stone, wood and stainless steel each need suitable cleaners.
Secure pets and valuables
Keep pets in a room or crate if they might escape, and put away valuables, medications and personal papers. It helps the pro focus and keeps everyone comfortable.
Leave clear entry instructions
Tell the pro how to get in, how to handle the alarm and where to park, and whether you will be home. Add building rules if you live in an apartment.
Give feedback after the first visit
Tell your pro what you liked and what you want changed. A short list after the first visit sets the pattern for every later one.
Say where in Mill Valley you are
Add your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.
