What Cleaning Services Do You Offer?
Before anything else, you want to know exactly what a cleaning service provides. Not all professional cleaning services
offer the same services. Some focus solely on carpet or window cleaning, while others provide full-service home care, including deep cleans, move-in/move-out cleaning, routine maintenance, or even commercial cleaning.
At Kustom Kleaning, we offer a wide range of residential and commercial cleaning services, including:
-
Standard maintenance cleaning (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly)

Deep cleaning and seasonal refreshes

Move-in and move-out cleans

Kitchen and bathroom detailing
-
Dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and more
Understanding the services offered helps you match your specific needs—whether you need a quick refresh or a full top-to-bottom clean.
Pro Tip: Don’t hesitate to ask if a company customizes their services. Your needs may vary week to week!
How Much Do Your Services Cost?
Let’s be honest—cost matters. While you want high-quality cleaning, you also want a service that fits your budget.

Are Your Cleaners Insured and Bonded?
This one’s huge. When you invite someone into your home, you’re placing a lot of trust in them—not just to clean, but to respect your space and belongings.
Any reputable cleaning company cleaning company should be fully insured and bonded to protect both you and their employees. This protects against damages, accidents, and other unexpected issues.

What Safety and Sanitation Protocols Do You Follow?

Personal protective equipment (PPE)
