Maintenance Cleaning starts with a deluxe top to bottom deep clean. An successful maintenance cleaning wins over clients and makes it easier when you start maintenance cleans!
As you previously learned, the PMC system emphasis is on MAINTENANCE. During your maintenance cleanings you really only need to clean what has accumulated since your last visit.
With a deluxe clean, you have to assume every surface is dirty, and has been for some time. Rather than recently settled dust, you may be dealing with more tenacious dust and grime that can’t easily be swept away with a feather duster. You WILL be wiping/wet dusting more in a deluxe clean than in a PMC. What you clean in a deep clean is almost the exact same as what you clean during a maintenance clean, however, HOW you clean it will differ. You will be putting in more effort, more scrubbing and wiping.
Deluxe Top to Bottom cleans are the foundation for your maintenance cleanings. You are creating a clean slate to which you will perform on-going maintenance cleanings.
You will clean in sections top to bottom working around the room left to right.
There are a few differences in what and how you clean that should be noted.
Wipe down ALL cabinet fronts & handles. Use your high duster to remove dust & cobwebs from the tops of upper cabinets
Pro Tip: Magic Eraser works great on white moulding
Humidity and product create a grimy mess on most bathroom surfaces. To make your next PMC easier, be sure to ALWAYS wipe down the following to remove this residue.
Get Aggressive with soap scum
Use Bar Keeper’s Friend on tough soap scum. Apply liberally to shower/tub walls & fixtures. Allow the cleaner to soak for about 30 seconds before scrubbing with your magic eraser or dobie
Pro Tip-some bathtubs/shower bottoms have a film around the bottom due to dirt, bath bombs, soaps, ect. Magic Erasers are key in removing this. Wet the eraser with water and scrub removing the black residue.
Use your high duster to dust
Pro Tip: Always do your high dusting first since dust falls downward.
Check your work order! Most clients pay an additional fee for hand-washing their baseboards. If this is indicated on your work order you must use your cleaning cloth and/or magic eraser to clean all accessible baseboards in the home.
If the client did not pay additional for this service, feather dust or vacuum baseboards.
EVERY recurring client started with a Deluxe Top to Bottom Cleaning. YOU set the stage for growth and new client business.
Be the WOW! That makes cleaning day the favorite day for your client!
