At Maid Up Cleaners, we believe a great cleaning experience starts with clear expectations.
All of our cleaning packages are thorough. The difference between Standard, Deep, and Move In / Move Out Cleaning is the amount of detail, buildup, and time your home needs, not the level of care we put into the service.
Our goal is to recommend the right starting point so your home receives the proper amount of time and attention, without paying for more cleaning than you need.
For many of our customers, the goal is simple. Get the home properly cleaned and reset when needed, then keep it that way with ongoing maintenance so cleaning becomes one less thing to think about.
We coordinate professional house cleaning services throughout Aubrey, Little Elm, Prosper, Frisco, Oak Point, Denton, and surrounding areas.
Standard means maintenance.
Best for homes that are already in generally well maintained condition and need routine professional upkeep.
Think light dust, minimal buildup, routine kitchen and bathroom cleaning, vacuuming, mopping, surface cleaning, and keeping the home consistently maintained.
Standard Cleaning is still a thorough professional cleaning. It simply focuses on maintaining the home rather than performing detailed reset work.
Deep means Standard plus additional detail and checklist items added on.
Best when the home is still in generally good condition but has moved beyond routine maintenance.
Think accumulated dust, baseboards that need wet wiping, removable soap scum or mineral buildup, additional bathroom and kitchen detail, and areas that need more attention than a Standard Cleaning.
A Deep Cleaning already assumes more buildup than a Standard Cleaning.
Move In / Move Out means Deep Cleaning plus vacant property scope.
Best for completely vacant homes that need a detailed transition cleaning.
It includes the Deep Cleaning foundation plus applicable vacant home tasks such as the inside of the oven, empty cabinets and drawers, detailed cabinet fronts, reachable vent faces, range hood exterior cleaning, and other services shown in the checklist below.
The refrigerator interior remains an optional Add On.
That is completely normal.
Most homes fall within the normal condition assumptions of the cleaning package they select.
If buildup is heavier or more widespread than normally expected, we may simply allocate additional time and resources through one of our condition levels.
The goal is not to label a home as clean or dirty. It is simply to make sure we schedule enough time to achieve the cleaning result you are expecting.
Use the room-by-room checklist below to compare Standard Cleaning, Deep Cleaning, and Move In / Move Out Cleaning and see exactly what is included in each service.
Every home is different, and choosing the correct starting service helps us provide the result you are expecting while scheduling the appropriate amount of time.
Standard means maintenance.
Standard Cleaning is designed for homes that are already in generally well maintained condition and need consistent professional upkeep.
A home that is a good fit for Standard Cleaning will typically have very mild dust, little accumulated pet hair, minimal soap scum or mineral buildup, and surfaces that can be maintained without repeated wet scrubbing or multiple passes.
Typical Standard Cleaning includes:
• Wiping accessible surfaces
• Dusting
• Sanitizing applicable high use surfaces
• Vacuuming
• Mopping
• Routine kitchen and bathroom cleaning
• Microwave interior and exterior
• Dusting visible baseboards
• Dusting blinds and windowsills
• Other maintenance tasks shown in the checklist
Standard Cleaning does not include detailed wet scrubbing or reset level work unless a specific Add On or condition adjustment applies.
Detailed baseboard washing, oven and refrigerator interiors, cabinet interiors, interior window glass, detailed door frame cleaning, vent face dusting, range hood exterior cleaning, and other optional services are handled according to the checklist.
Standard Cleaning may be booked as a one time cleaning or maintained on an ongoing schedule such as weekly, every two weeks, or every four weeks, with applicable recurring frequency savings.
If it has been several months since the home received a detailed professional cleaning, or if dust, bathroom buildup, pet hair, or other areas have moved beyond normal maintenance condition, a Deep Cleaning is often the better starting point.
Once the home has been properly reset, many customers transition into recurring Standard Cleaning to keep it consistently maintained.
Deep means Standard plus additional detail and reset work.
Deep Cleaning includes the Standard Cleaning foundation plus additional wet cleaning, detailing, and scrubbing for homes that have moved beyond routine maintenance condition.
It is generally the right starting point when the home is still in good overall condition, but more time has passed between detailed cleanings and normal buildup has begun to accumulate.
Deep Cleaning may include:
• Wet washing and detailing baseboards
• Detailed windowsill cleaning
• Deeper tub and shower scrubbing
• Detailed shower glass cleaning
• Polishing and detailing applicable fixtures
• Cleaning accessible light fixtures and light switches
• Working removable soap scum buildup
• Working removable mineral and hard water buildup
• Additional bathroom and kitchen detail
• Spot treating applicable cabinet fronts
• Additional wet wiping and reasonable second passes where needed
A Deep Cleaning already assumes more buildup than a Standard Cleaning.
A typical Deep Cleaning is for a home that is still in generally good condition but has moved beyond routine maintenance, often because it has been several months since the last professional cleaning or detailed reset.
Normal Deep level conditions may include mild accumulated dust, baseboards that need wet wiping instead of simple dusting, mild to moderate removable soap scum, light mineral or hard water buildup, and other ordinary buildup that naturally develops over time.
These conditions should still be reasonably removable using normal Deep Cleaning methods and should not represent prolonged neglect or heavy buildup throughout the home.
A simple way to think about it is:
Standard means maintained
Deep means the home needs a detailed reset
Level 4 and above means the home needs additional labor beyond a normal Deep Cleaning
Oven interiors, refrigerator interiors, cabinet and drawer interiors, interior window glass, detailed door frame cleaning, reachable vent face dusting, range hood exterior cleaning, and other specific extras remain separate unless the checklist specifically states they are included.
Move In / Move Out means Deep Cleaning plus vacant property scope.
Move In / Move Out Cleaning is designed for completely vacant properties.
It includes the Deep Cleaning foundation plus additional transition cleaning tasks that can be completed once furniture, personal belongings, and normal occupied home items have been removed.
Move In / Move Out Cleaning includes applicable items such as:
• Deep Cleaning scope
• Inside oven
• Inside cabinets and drawers when completely emptied
• Detailed cabinet front cleaning
• Detailed baseboards
• Reachable vent face dusting
• Range hood exterior cleaning
• Vacant property floor and surface cleaning
• Additional transition cleaning details shown in the checklist
Cabinets and drawers must be completely emptied before service.
Interior cabinet and drawer cleaning includes wiping accessible interior surfaces and removing normal loose debris. It does not include restoration, organization, or removing and replacing personal belongings.
The refrigerator interior is not automatically included and remains an optional Add On.
Because Move In / Move Out Cleaning is a vacant property service, beds, dishes, wastebaskets, countertop belongings, bath mats, decorative items, and similar occupied home tasks are not part of the Move In / Move Out scope.
Running water and electricity must be available during the service.
The cleaning package determines what type of cleaning your home receives.
The condition level helps us determine how much time and labor are reasonably needed to perform that cleaning properly.
Most homes fall within the normal condition assumptions of the service they select.
Condition levels are simply a way to make sure a home that needs additional attention receives enough time and resources to achieve the expected result.
The home falls within the normal condition expected for the selected cleaning package.
No separate condition adjustment is needed.
For a Deep Cleaning, this can still include normal accumulated dust, wet wiping dusty baseboards, removable soap scum, mild mineral buildup, and other routine buildup that develops between detailed cleanings.
Level 4 applies when some areas need more time than normally expected because buildup is becoming heavier or is showing up across several areas.
Examples may include:
• More accumulated dust across several rooms
• Noticeably more pet hair or dander
• Several surfaces needing additional passes
• Additional bathroom buildup
• Additional kitchen residue
• Multiple areas needing more attention than a normal Deep Cleaning
The home is still completely within normal residential cleaning scope. It simply requires additional time and resources.
Level 5 applies when significant buildup is present across multiple areas and substantially more cleaning labor is required than a normal Deep or Move In / Move Out Cleaning.
Examples may include:
• Heavier accumulated dust throughout multiple rooms
• Substantial pet hair or dander
• Thicker soap scum across multiple bathrooms
• Considerable mineral or hard water buildup
• Greasy or sticky kitchen surfaces
• Heavily soiled floors or trim
• Multiple areas requiring repeated cleaning passes
A Standard Cleaning is not appropriate for Level 5 conditions. The home would need to be scoped as a Deep Cleaning or applicable Move In / Move Out service.
Level 6 applies when heavier buildup is widespread throughout most of the property and many major areas require significant additional attention.
This may involve repeated passes, substantially more wet cleaning, deeper scrubbing, or slower detailed work throughout the home.
It is still residential cleaning, not restoration or hazardous condition remediation, but the home requires considerably more labor than a typical Deep Cleaning.
Level 7 is reserved for situations where the condition falls outside our normal cleaning matrix or the amount of labor required cannot be responsibly estimated through the standard booking process.
Photos or video and management review may be required before the service can be properly scoped, priced, or scheduled.
Level 7 is not a normal purchasable Add On.
The purpose of our condition levels is simple, to make sure your home is scheduled with enough time and resources to achieve the cleaning result you are expecting.
Every home is different, which is why we offer optional Add Ons for services that fall outside the base package.
Depending on the cleaning package, available extras may include:
• Shedding dogs or cats
• Offices, dens, lofts, and additional rooms
• Additional beds and applicable oversized beds
• Reachable vent face dusting
• Range hood exterior cleaning
• Inside refrigerator
• Inside oven
• Dishes
• Detailed kitchen cabinet fronts
• Detailed bathroom cabinet fronts
• Inside kitchen cabinets and drawers
• Inside bathroom cabinets and drawers
• Detailed baseboard washing
• Interior window glass
• Detailed interior door frames
• Patio sweeping and reachable cobweb removal
• Garage sweeping, blowing, and reachable cobweb removal
• Weekend requests
• Expedited same day or next day requests, subject to availability
Not every Add On applies to every cleaning package.
Some services are already included in Deep Cleaning or Move In / Move Out Cleaning and therefore do not require an additional Add On.
The Extras section of the checklist shows exactly which services can be added to each package and which services are already included.
Add Ons should be requested and confirmed when booking whenever possible so we can schedule the appropriate amount of time.
Condition adjustments provide additional time and resources for the cleaning scope already booked.
They do not automatically add unrelated services such as refrigerator cleaning, dishes, interior window glass, garage cleaning, or other optional extras.
We also do not charge twice for the same additional work. If a condition adjustment and a specific Add On overlap, the service can be reviewed so the same additional labor is not duplicated.
Professional carpet extraction and steam cleaning, full service window cleaning, and junk removal are not included in Standard, Deep, or Move In / Move Out house cleaning packages.
These services require a separate estimate and may be coordinated through specialty service providers.
Interior window glass cleaning is different from full service window cleaning and may be available as the specific Add On shown in the checklist.
Cleaning and restoration are not the same thing.
Our cleaning services address normal dirt, dust, residue, and removable buildup within the selected cleaning scope.
While we always aim for the best possible cleaning result, cleaning cannot guarantee that permanent staining, etching, discoloration, wear, damage, or deterioration can be reversed.
The following are not included in our normal cleaning packages:
• Permanent stain or discoloration restoration
• Interior wall washing
• Specialty grout restoration
• Pet urine remediation
• Human or animal feces
• Blood or bodily fluid cleanup
• Needles or sharps
• Biohazard cleanup
• Hazardous materials
• Significant mold requiring remediation
• Active pest infestations
• Moving or lifting heavy furniture or appliances
• Organizing or sorting personal belongings
• Major junk or debris removal
• Unsafe or inaccessible areas
• Tasks that are not part of the selected package or an approved Add On
Hoarding, severe clutter, extreme debris, or other unusually difficult conditions require management review and may require a separately approved scope or may fall outside the services we can safely provide.
We do our best to schedule every home correctly before the cleaning begins.
Your quoted price and scheduled service are based on the information provided at booking, including the home’s size, condition, number of rooms, selected service, your cleaning expectations, and any additional needs described to our team.
To help us provide the most accurate recommendation and pricing, we ask that you share any details that could meaningfully affect the amount of cleaning required, even if we do not specifically ask about that particular area during booking.
Ultimately, the appropriate service is based on the actual condition of the home, its size, the result you are expecting, and the amount of work reasonably required to achieve that result within the selected cleaning scope.
If the actual condition or scope is materially different from what was described, or if important conditions were not mentioned before the appointment, such as additional rooms, substantially heavier buildup, significant accumulated pet hair, excessive clutter, access limitations, or another meaningful difference, we may recommend a different service level, additional labor, or an appropriate Add On.
If a material adjustment is needed, our team will communicate it before additional work is performed.
This gives you the opportunity to understand what we found and approve the appropriate next step before any changes are made.
The checklist establishes the baseline for each cleaning package, but no two homes are exactly alike.
If there are particular areas that are especially important to you, let our office know when booking so we can document your priorities and make sure the right service is scheduled.
Our goal is not simply to complete a checklist.
It is to give you a home that feels clean, reset, comfortable, and easier to maintain, while making the entire experience as straightforward and dependable as possible.
For recurring customers, the goal is even simpler. Once the home is at the right baseline, we help keep it there so cleaning becomes one less thing on your mental checklist.

A closer look at their success stories
I recently had a move-out clean with Carylann Hendrix and her team. They did an awesome job. They arrived on time and immediately got to work. All 3 team members were professional and pleasant. They went above my expectations. I would definitely use this service again, and I would definitely ask for Carylann and her team.
Crystal does a fantastic job.She listens very well and immediately picks up on what needs to happen.She has a very short learning curve and understood what we need to done.She's very reliable , and she is very enjoyable to work with crystal.
Carylann, her husband Pat and their son Chris were all terrific. They really worked hard the whole time they were here. I would be thrilled if they were my regular cleaners.
