Seattle Apartment Cleaning: What to Expect Before Your First Visit

Building access comes first

Apartment cleaning in Seattle usually starts at the lobby, not the front door. Many buildings in South Lake Union, Capitol Hill, and Belltown require a fob, a call box code, or front-desk check-in.

Send access details when you book: buzzer number, gate or garage code, whether the team should check in at a desk, and which elevator serves your floor.

Parking and loading

Dense neighborhoods often have permit-only street parking or timed loading zones. If your building has visitor parking or a loading bay, note the location and any time limit. Where parking is paid, tell us in advance so it is planned into the visit.

How the first visit is scoped

We ask for square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the current condition. Apartments with in-unit laundry, balconies, or open shelving take a little more time, so mention those details when you request a quote.

• Kitchen and bathrooms cleaned in detail
• Floors vacuumed and mopped, including under reachable furniture
• Dusting of surfaces, sills, and reachable ledges
• Balcony sweeping and interior windows available as add-ons where safe

After the visit

Payment is collected after the clean once you are satisfied. If something included was missed, our 48-hour reclean guarantee covers eligible items.
