The cleaning checklist is color-coded to show what is included for each cleaning.

• The Standard checklist includes grey checklist items.
• The Deep checklist includes both grey and blue items.
• The Move Out checklist includes grey, blue, and orange checklist items.
• Add-on Services are extra services that can be combined with a standard, deep, or move out cleaning at an additional price. Not all add-ons services are available for each type of cleaning.
• The Excluded Services shows what services or conditions are not covered in any type of cleaning.

Hourly Cleaning Checklists

• An hourly cleaning can be customized to fit your needs. Simply customize your checklist by adding notes in the notes section below and by selecting the amount of cleaning hours you want for your service.
• For homes with “heavy-duty” conditions or “needs extra love and attention” and looking for a partial home cleaning — please call for a customized hourly quote.

Vacation Rental Cleanings

• A vacation rental cleaning can be customized to fit your property’s needs. View the vacation rental checklist and customize it by adding notes in the note section below. Select the amount of cleaning hours you need for your property’s cleaning checklist.

Post Construction Cleanings

• A post-construction cleaning is for new construction homes or homes that have had recent remodeling. This type of cleaning is set as an hourly cleaning. Detail your cleaning needs in the notes section below. We recommend at least 3 labor hours per 1,000 sq feet for a post-construction cleaning.

A heavy duty service includes the same checklist that you booked and is included for home conditions that require more attention, supplies, and time.

Heavy-duty is included for homes that have not been professionally cleaned in 2 or more months, have pet hair build-up, or buildup on bathroom, kitchen, or floor surfaces. This add-on should also be included for any other unusual condition.

A heavy-duty cleaning does not include cleaning items or surfaces on our “excluded surfaces” list. Some of these items include pet waste, feces, black mold, bugs, rot, etc. Extreme conditions are not covered in any service. If you are uncertain whether the condition of your home qualifies for service, please contact us with your questions.

A credit card is required to make and reserve an appointment, but your card will not be charged until the day of your appointment.

Mr. Belvedere Cleaning service works with only the best house cleaners. We are very selective with the cleaning service professionals we work with and cleaner background checked and skill tested.

Add-on services are extra services you can include in your cleaning to make your cleaning fit your needs.

Here are a few examples of how you can use the add-on services to book the cleaning you need:

If you want a standard cleaning PLUS inside the fridge and oven

• Include the inside fridge and inside oven add-on for your service

If you want to book a move in/out cleaning

• Review the add-on services you need for your move in or move out cleaning.
• Often times move in/out cleanings are booked to include inside fridge, inside oven, inside cabinets, inside drawers and, depending on the condition of the home, may also include the wet wipe blinds, wet wipe baseboards, and heavy duty cleaning add-on services.

If you want a deep cleaning

• You can include the wet wipe baseboards and wet wipe blinds add-ons for a deeper cleaning
• You can also include other add-ons depending on your needs, such as inside fridge, inside oven, interior windows, etc.

Summary of Add-On Services (and exclusions)

Inside Fridge: Includes cleaning inside the fridge and freezer compartments for one fridge. A fridge that is overly packed, frozen over, or has mold growing in it will not be cleaned and the charge for the add-on will be removed from the service price.

Inside Oven: Includes cleaning inside one oven.

Interior Windows: Includes the interior cleaning of windows that can be reached with a 2-step stool.

Inside Cabinets / Drawers: Get the inside of your cabinets and drawers cleaned! For this add-on, cabinets and drawers must be empty prior to cleaning. If cabinets and drawers contain personal items they will not be completed.

Wet Wipe Baseboards: A standard cleaning includes dusting of baseboards, which works great for most cleanings! But if your baseboards have extra dirt built up, select this add-on to have the cleaners wipe your baseboards down.

Wet Wipe Blinds: A standard cleaning includes dry dusting blinds which works great for most cleanings. But if your blinds have dust build up select this add-on to have them wet-wiped during your cleaning ***NOTE: Vertical blinds are not included in this add-on and will not be cleaned due to their high risk of damage. Cotton, aluminum, and other thin metal blinds are not included in this add-on service and will not be cleaned. Blinds that have a build up of grease, oil, or smoke residue will not be cleaned.

Heavy Duty: A heavy duty cleaning is the same checklist as a standard cleaning, but it is included for home conditions that require more attention, supplies, and time. This add-on is included for homes that have not been professionally cleaned in 3 months, have pet hair build up, or buildup on bathroom, kitchen, or floor surfaces. This add-on should also be included for any other unusual condition. A heavy duty cleaning does not include cleaning items or surfaces on our “excluded surfaces” list. Some of these items include pet waste, feces, black mold, bugs, rot, etc. Extreme conditions are not covered in any service. If you are uncertain whether the condition of your home qualifies for service, please contact us with your questions.

If you have a coupon code or gift code you can enter it when booking online. Please note that only one discount can be applied per cleaning and a discount or coupon code can only be used once per household.

If you have a Yelp code voucher, please include the six-digit voucher number in the comments section when booking online. Our system is separate from Yelp’s coupon system so we do not have those codes in our database but we can get it added for you.

es, your quote can change!

The good news is, if you completed your booking with accurate information regarding your home, there is little reason for your quote to change. That’s because a quote change is typically only needed when a customer booked a cleaning with inaccurate property details or inccurate condition details. Please remember, a quote is a quote based on the information you provided! If that information is wrong, the quote will change.

The following circumstances may lead to a quote adjustment:

• You provided incorrect property details while booking your appointment. This may include incorrect square footage, number of bedrooms, or number of bathrooms in the home. It may also include if you forgot to include the option detailing there are pets in the home.
• The condition of the home requires more work than the average home. This means the home has not been regularly kept up or cleaned for a period of time. This includes buildup on surfaces in the bathrooms and kitchens. This would also include staining in tubs, showers, toilets, floors, sinks, etc. Additional time, effort, and materials are needed to clean surfaces in this condition and the quote may be adjusted accordingly.

Of course! We love helping our vacation rental owning customers.

We know that having a quality cleaning plays a big part in you receiving a great rating from your vacation rental property guests. Please review our vacation rental cleaning guidelines to see if we are a good fit for what you are looking for:

Vacation Rental Cleaning Checklist

A vacation rental cleaning can be customized to fit your property’s needs. Review the vacation rental cleaning checklist below. In addition to the cleaning checklist, you can customize the service by adding notes when booking your cleaning.

How to Book a Vacation Rental Cleaning

1. Visit our online booking page at https://www.mylocalsitter.com
2. Select vacation rental cleaning
3. Select the amount of cleaning hours you need for your property’s cleaning checklist.
4. Customize the cleaning checklist to meet your property’s needs. This can include cleaning, tidying up, onsite laundry, and changing linens. Add these instructions in the notes section on the booking form.
5. By request, photos of completed work can be provided after each cleaning
6. Vacation Rental appointments are usually managed with a solo cleaner however teams of two cleaners can be scheduled for larger vacation rental properties that require more labor hours to complete

Other Notes

1. A minimum charge of $99 per cleaning, this includes a required minimum of 2.5 labor hours with a solo cleaner
2. The time needed to fully complete your cleaning will depend on the size of the property and the extent of your cleaning checklist requirements
3. It is your responsibility to select enough time to complete your requested cleaning checklist. Selecting too little time will leave you without a fully completed cleaning

How much time to select for your Vacation Rental cleaning

We recommend the following guidelines, at a minimum, for your initial cleaning:

1. Up to 2,000 sq ft, at least 2.5 labor hours with a solo cleaner (required minimum)
2. 2,000 to 2,700 sq ft, at least 3.0 labor hours with a solo cleaner
3. 2700 to 3,200 sq ft, at least 3.5 labor hours with a solo cleaner
4. 3,200 sq ft and up, we recommend estimating and booking at least 4.0 labor hours or more, depending on the overall size and needs of your property

What happens if you don’t book enough time?

If you do not book enough time, you may be left without a complete cleaning. To be safe we recommend estimating for more time than less.

• Example: If you book for 2.5 labor hours (the required minimum) but the cleaning requires additional time to be completed, the result will be an incomplete cleaning. You will receive 2.5 labor hours of cleaning, but because you only booked for 2.5 labor hours the cleaner will stop the service as scheduled and continue to the next customer’s appointment

What happens if you book too much time?

If you book too much time, the rate would be adjusted and you would be billed only for the time spent for your cleaning, down to but not below the minimum charge of $99

• Example 1: if you book for 3.5 labor hours and it only took 3.0 labor hours of cleaning, your bill would be based on the actual cleaning time
• Example 2: If you booked for 3.0 labor hours and the cleaning took labor 2.0 hours, your bill would be based on the minimum charge of $99
