House cleaning questions, answered

It depends on the size and condition of the home, so the estimator prices your actual place rather than quoting a tier. A recurring standard clean costs meaningfully less per visit than a one-time clean because a maintained home takes fewer hours. The number on screen is the number you pay unless the scope changes.

A standard clean maintains a home that is already in reasonable shape. A deep clean descales — it takes roughly twice the hours and puts real time into hard-water buildup on glass, fixtures and grout that a standard clean only maintains. First visits on a recurring plan are deep cleans for that reason.

Because Las Vegas has the hardest municipal water of any major US city at about 16 to 18 grains per gallon. Scale on shower glass, fixtures and toilets needs acid products and pumice and real scrubbing time. Every bathroom carries a specific hard-water allowance in the quote, scaled by the type of clean.

Yes. STR turnovers are their own scope — faster than a standard clean because the property is already maintained, with the work weighted toward reset and presentation rather than deep cleaning. Photo documentation on every turnover comes standard, which is what most hosts actually need for disputes.

Yes, and move-outs do take a deposit. A move-out is the heaviest interior scope short of a final clean after work is done, it is scheduled against a hard deadline, and a cancellation on one cannot be backfilled. The deposit amount is shown on the quote before you book.

No. Most recurring clients are not. You get a photo record of the completed work either way.

Tell us within 24 hours and it gets re-cleaned free. That is the whole policy — no claim form, no negotiation.

Yes, everything including equipment. If you want specific products used in your home — a particular finish on stone, an allergy consideration, something you already keep under the sink — say so and they get used.

Yes, and on a turn it is the reason to use us. Bulbs, HVAC filters, detector batteries, screens rescreened or repaired, blinds cleaned and rehung, minor drywall patching, caulking, weatherstripping, doors adjusted, cabinet hardware, towel bars, house numbers, mailboxes, furniture assembly. It is quoted on its own line group, separate from the cleaning, and the maintenance total on any one job stays under the exemption limit — past that it becomes a second visit rather than a bigger invoice.

Anything electrical, plumbing, HVAC or gas — outlets, switches, hardwired fixtures, ceiling fans, faucets, valves, supply lines, drains, water heaters, disposals — and anything requiring a permit. Atom Cleaning LLC is a licensed cleaning and repair-and-maintenance business, not a licensed contractor, so that is a licensing boundary rather than a capability one. Those get flagged in writing with photos and referred to a licensed trade, on the walkthrough rather than on the day.
