Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between deep cleaning and regular house cleaning?

    Deep cleaning is a thorough, intensive service that covers areas typically not included in routine maintenance cleaning, such as baseboards, inside appliances, and behind furniture. Regular cleaning focuses on maintaining cleanliness through consistent upkeep of high-traffic surfaces and rooms. At Shiny Co Cleaning, we recommend deep cleaning for a complete home refresh before starting recurring service.
  • How often should you schedule residential cleaning services?

    Most homes benefit from cleaning every one to four weeks depending on household size, activity level, and personal preferences. Weekly or bi-weekly schedules work well for busy families or homes with pets, while monthly service suits smaller households or those who maintain cleanliness between visits. Shiny Co Cleaning offers flexible recurring schedules to match your routine.
  • What does move-out cleaning include for an empty home?

    Move-out cleaning covers comprehensive cleaning of the entire empty home, including deep cleaning of appliances, cabinets, baseboards, windows, and all rooms to leave the property spotless for new occupants. This service addresses areas that are difficult to reach when furniture is present. At Shiny Co Cleaning, we handle both move-in and move-out scenarios for relocating clients in Denver.
  • When should you schedule post-construction cleaning after renovations?

    Post-construction cleaning should be scheduled after contractors finish work and remove large equipment, but before you move furniture back or occupy the space. This service removes construction dust, debris, and residue from surfaces, ensuring the area is safe and ready for use. Shiny Co Cleaning specializes in cleaning newly constructed or renovated homes throughout the Denver area.
  • Are eco-friendly cleaning products effective for residential cleaning?

    Yes, eco-friendly cleaning products effectively remove dirt, grime, and most household bacteria while reducing exposure to harsh chemicals. These products work well for routine maintenance and are safer for children, pets, and those with sensitivities. At Shiny Co Cleaning, we use eco-friendly products with attention to detail to maintain clean, healthy Denver homes.
  • What affects the cost of a deep cleaning service?

    The cost of deep cleaning depends primarily on home size, current condition, and the level of detail required in neglected areas. Homes that haven't been deep cleaned recently or have heavy buildup may require more time and effort. Additional factors include number of bathrooms, kitchen complexity, and specific requests beyond standard deep cleaning tasks.
  • Can cleaning services include junk removal from my home?

    Yes, many professional cleaners offer junk removal as an additional service to help clear unwanted items and clutter before or during the cleaning process. This works especially well when combined with move-out cleaning or deep cleaning projects. Shiny Co Cleaning provides junk removal as part of comprehensive cleaning packages for homes and businesses in the Denver area.
  • How do you prepare for a professional house cleaning?

    Pick up personal items, secure valuables, and clear floors of toys or clutter so cleaners can focus on deep cleaning surfaces rather than organizing. Communicate any special instructions or areas needing extra attention, and ensure pets are secured if needed. Minimal preparation allows professional cleaners to work efficiently and deliver the best results.
  • What's included in commercial cleaning for office spaces?

    Commercial cleaning for offices typically includes vacuuming, mopping, dusting surfaces, sanitizing restrooms, emptying trash, and cleaning common areas like break rooms. Service schedules are flexible to avoid disrupting business operations, with options for after-hours or weekend cleaning. Shiny Co Cleaning tailors commercial services to accommodate business needs in Denver and surrounding areas.
  • Does Denver's dry climate affect how often you should clean?

    Yes, Denver's dry climate and frequent dust can cause surfaces to accumulate dirt and allergens faster than in humid regions. Regular cleaning helps control dust buildup that settles on furniture, floors, and ventilation systems. At Shiny Co Cleaning, we adjust cleaning techniques to address the unique challenges of maintaining homes in Colorado's arid environment.
  • What's the biggest mistake people make when hiring cleaners?

    The biggest mistake is not clearly communicating expectations or priorities before the first cleaning, which can lead to disappointing results or missed areas. Providing specific instructions about problem areas, preferred products, or off-limit spaces ensures the service meets your needs. At Shiny Co Cleaning, we encourage open communication to deliver personalized, satisfying results every time.
  • How long does a typical deep cleaning take?

    A deep cleaning typically takes four to eight hours depending on home size, condition, and the number of cleaners working. Larger homes or those requiring extensive attention to neglected areas may take longer. Shiny Co Cleaning schedules enough time to thoroughly clean every area without rushing, ensuring a complete home refresh.
  • What's the difference between deep cleaning and regular cleaning?

    Deep cleaning is a comprehensive, intensive service that tackles areas regular cleaning doesn't cover, like baseboards, inside appliances, and built-up grime. Regular or recurring cleaning maintains cleanliness through routine tasks like vacuuming, dusting, and surface sanitizing. At Shiny Co Cleaning, we recommend deep cleaning first, then switching to recurring maintenance.
  • How often should I schedule recurring cleaning services?

    Most families and professionals schedule recurring cleaning weekly, biweekly, or monthly depending on household size, pets, and lifestyle. Homes with children or pets typically benefit from weekly or biweekly service. Shiny Co Cleaning offers flexible scheduling to match your specific needs in Denver.
  • What does move-out cleaning include?

    Move-out cleaning involves thorough cleaning of an empty property, including inside cabinets, appliances, closets, baseboards, and all surfaces to prepare for new occupants. This service removes all traces of previous residents and ensures the space is spotless. It's especially helpful for getting security deposits back.
  • How long does post-construction cleaning take?

    Post-construction cleaning typically takes longer than standard cleaning due to heavy dust, debris, and residue removal from renovation work. The timeline depends on project size and the amount of construction dust present. At Shiny Co Cleaning, we use specialized techniques to safely remove fine particles and restore cleanliness.
  • Are eco-friendly cleaning products as effective as traditional ones?

    Yes, modern eco-friendly cleaning products effectively remove dirt, bacteria, and grime without harsh chemicals. They're safer for families, pets, and the environment while delivering professional results. Shiny Co Cleaning uses eco-friendly products and advanced cleaning techniques to ensure thorough sanitation in Denver homes.
  • When should I book a deep cleaning service?

    Book deep cleaning before hosting special occasions, after long periods without professional cleaning, or when moving into a new home. It's also ideal seasonally or when you notice buildup in hard-to-reach areas. Deep cleaning provides a fresh baseline before starting recurring maintenance services.
  • What's included in residential cleaning services?

    Residential cleaning typically includes vacuuming, dusting, sanitizing bathrooms and kitchens, mopping floors, and surface cleaning throughout the home. At Shiny Co Cleaning, we use eco-friendly products and pay close attention to detail to ensure every room meets high cleanliness standards.
  • Can you clean right after construction or renovation?

    Yes, post-construction cleaning is specifically designed to remove construction dust, drywall particles, paint residue, and debris left after renovation projects. This specialized service requires different techniques and equipment than regular cleaning. Shiny Co Cleaning handles the heavy-duty cleanup so your renovated space is move-in ready.
  • How do I prepare for a professional cleaning service?

    Pick up personal items, toys, and clutter from floors and surfaces so cleaners can focus on actual cleaning tasks. Secure pets in a safe area and communicate any specific concerns or focus areas. Minimal preparation allows professional cleaners to work efficiently and thoroughly.
  • What affects the cost of house cleaning in Denver?

    Cleaning costs depend on home size, service type, frequency, and current cleanliness level. Deep cleaning and one-time services typically cost more than recurring maintenance due to intensity and time required. Move-out and post-construction cleaning may also cost more due to specialized needs and thorough attention required.
