Here is a comprehensive overview of the cleaning services offered by Mayday and exactly what you can expect when you book a cleaner. Listed below are our apartment cleaning services in Los Angeles, CA.

Standard Apartment Cleaning (Routine Maintenance)

A standard apartment cleaning is a comprehensive, surface-level clean designed to maintain a baseline of hygiene and tidiness in a apartment. Unlike a deep clean, which tackles built-up grime or neglected areas, a standard clean assumes the apartment is already in relatively good condition and focuses on the “upkeep.”

It is the most popular service for recurring schedules (such as weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly visits) because it resets the apartment, ensuring living spaces remain fresh, sanitized, and comfortable without the need for intensive scrubbing.

What Does a Standard Cleaning Typically Include?

A professional standard apartment cleaning covers all the essential daily and weekly chores. While exact checklists can vary slightly between cleaning companies, a standard routine maintenance clean generally includes the following:

General Chores (All Rooms)

  • Dusting: Wiping down exposed, accessible surfaces including tables, desks, shelves, and picture frames.
  • Floors: Vacuuming all carpets and rugs, and sweeping and mopping all hard surface floors (wood, tile, laminate).
  • Trash: Emptying all wastebaskets and replacing the liners.
  • Cobwebs: Removing visible cobwebs from corners and baseboards.
  • General Tidying: Organizing small items, straightening up magazines, and fluffing pillows.

The Kitchen

  • Surfaces: Wiping down and sanitizing countertops and backsplashes.
  • Appliances: Cleaning the exterior of the refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, and stovetop.
  • Microwave: Wiping down the inside and outside of the microwave.
  • Sink: Scrubbing the sink basin and polishing the faucet and hardware.
  • Cabinets: Spot-cleaning visible smudges on cabinet doors.

The Bathrooms

  • Sanitization: Thoroughly scrubbing and disinfecting the toilet bowl, seat, lid, tank, and base.
  • Shower & Tub: Wiping down the shower walls, bathtub, and glass doors to remove recent soap scum and water marks.
  • Vanity: Cleaning the sink, sanitizing the countertop, and polishing the mirror and fixtures.
  • Towels: Neatly folding or hanging existing towels.

Bedrooms & Living Areas

  • Beds: Making the bed and straightening linens (changing the sheets if fresh ones are left out on the bed).
  • Furniture: Dusting nightstands, dressers, coffee tables, and entertainment centers.
  • Touchpoints: Wiping down frequently touched surfaces like light switches and doorknobs.

Deep Apartment Cleaning Services in Los Angeles, CA

A deep apartment cleaning is an intensive, thorough service that targets the stubborn dirt, grime, and buildup that naturally accumulates in a apartment over time. It reaches the neglected, hard-to-reach areas that are simply not practical to cover during a routine weekly or bi-weekly clean.

Because of the time and elbow grease required, a deep clean is typically performed once or twice a year (like a traditional “Spring Cleaning”), before hosting a major event, or as the initial service before starting a recurring standard cleaning schedule. It transforms a lived-in space back to its baseline of immaculate hygiene.

What Does a Deep Apartment Cleaning Typically Include?

A deep apartment clean includes everything in a Standard Cleaning, plus a much heavier focus on scrubbing, detailing, and reaching high/low areas. Here is what is typically included:

General Chores (All Rooms)

  • Baseboards & Trim: Hand-washing or wet-wiping all baseboards, door frames, and window sills to remove scuffs and caked-on dust.
  • Doors: Wiping down interior doors, paying special attention to smudges around doorknobs and hinges.
  • Deep Dusting: Hand-wiping ceiling fans, light fixtures, HVAC vent covers, and individual window blinds (rather than just feather-dusting them).
  • Under Furniture: Moving lightweight furniture (like dining chairs, small tables, and lightweight sofas) to vacuum and mop completely underneath them.
  • Cobwebs: Thoroughly checking and clearing high corners, behind furniture, and inside closets.

The Kitchen

  • Heavy Degreasing: Scrubbing the stovetop, drip pans, and the exterior of the range hood to remove sticky, built-up cooking grease.
  • Cabinet Fronts: Hand-washing all upper and lower cabinet doors and drawer fronts to remove splatters and grime.
  • Appliances (Intensive): Thoroughly cleaning the microwave inside and out, and polishing all large and small appliances.
  • Grout & Crevices: Using detailing brushes to scrub the sink rim, faucet base, and countertop grout lines.

The Bathrooms

  • Intensive Scrubbing: Removing heavy soap scum, hard water stains, and calcium buildup from shower glass doors, bathtub basins, and tile walls.
  • Grout Treatment: Scrubbing bathroom floor and shower tile grout to lift discoloration and bacteria.
  • Fixture Descaling: Deep cleaning and descaling the showerhead, bath faucets, and sink hardware to restore their shine.
  • Base & Behind: Thoroughly scrubbing the base of the toilet and the often-neglected floor area behind the toilet.
  • Cabinetry: Wiping down the exterior of bathroom vanities and medicine cabinets.

Bedrooms & Living Areas

  • Upholstery: Thoroughly vacuuming upholstered furniture, including removing cushions to vacuum out crumbs and pet hair from the crevices.
  • Detailed Woodwork: Polishing wood furniture, banisters, and bookshelves with appropriate wood cleaners.
  • Flooring Prep: Edging the carpets (vacuuming right up to the baseboards where dust collects) and giving hard floors an intensive, multi-pass mop.

Eco-Friendly Apartment Cleaning Services in Los Angeles, CA

An eco-friendly apartment cleaning service focuses on achieving a spotless apartment without the use of harsh, synthetic chemicals. Traditional cleaning supplies often contain VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), ammonia, bleach, and artificial fragrances that can irritate the skin, eyes, and lungs, while also being harmful to the environment when washed down the drain.

Green cleaning swaps these out for biodegradable, plant-based, and non-toxic products. It is the ideal choice for apartments with young children, pets, allergy sufferers, or anyone looking to reduce their ecological footprint while maintaining excellent indoor air quality.

What Does an Eco-Friendly Apartment Cleaning Typically Include?

The actual checklist of chores for an eco-friendly clean is usually identical to a Standard or Deep Cleaning (dusting, mopping, scrubbing, and vacuuming). The major difference lies entirely in what is used to perform those tasks.

Here is what is typically included in the green cleaning process:

The Products

  • Plant-Based Solutions: Using naturally derived cleaners that are free from phosphates, chlorine, and artificial dyes.
  • Natural Disinfectants: Utilizing ingredients like hydrogen peroxide, citric acid, or vinegar to kill bacteria and viruses safely, rather than relying on heavy bleach.
  • Gentle Abrasives: Using baking soda or natural pumice to scrub sinks, tubs, and ovens without scratching surfaces or leaving toxic residue behind.
  • Essential Oils: Replacing synthetic, chemical fragrances with natural essential oils (like lavender, lemon, or tea tree) to leave the home smelling fresh without triggering allergies.

The Equipment & Practices

  • HEPA Filtration: Vacuuming with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. This traps 99.97% of dust, pet dander, and pollen, drastically improving indoor air quality rather than just blowing dust back into the room.
  • Microfiber Technology: Using high-quality, reusable microfiber cloths and mop heads. Microfiber traps dirt and bacteria highly effectively with just water or mild soap, drastically reducing the need for paper towels and chemical sprays.
  • Sustainable Waste Management: Eco-friendly cleaners are mindful of waste, minimizing the use of single-use plastics and properly disposing of trash and recyclables gathered during the clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, you do not need to be home. In fact, many of our clients prefer to provide us with a spare key, a garage code, or a lockbox so we can clean while they are at work or running errands. If you prefer to be home, that is completely fine too! We just ask that you give our cleaners enough space to work efficiently.
We understand that life happens and schedules change. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, we ask for at least 48 hours' notice. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled service may incur a cancellation fee, as this time was specifically reserved for you and makes it difficult for us to reassign our staff.
We arrive fully equipped with all the necessary cleaning supplies, tools, and vacuums to make your home sparkle. If you have specific products you prefer us to use (like a specific wood cleaner or a vacuum you prefer for your carpets), just let us know and leave them out for our team.
We offer green cleaning options upon request. If you prefer us to use eco-friendly, pet-safe, and child-safe products, please let us know when booking your appointment.
Your apartment will be cleaned by our team of trained, thoroughly vetted, and background-checked professional cleaners. We strive to send the same cleaner or team to your home for every visit so they can get to know your home's specific needs and your personal preferences.
Absolutely. All of our cleaning professionals are fully licensed, insured, and bonded. This provides you with complete peace of mind knowing that you are protected in the rare event of an accident, damage, or theft while our team is on your property.
Your satisfaction is our top priority. If you are not completely satisfied with our service, please contact us within 24 hours of your cleaning. We will send a team back to your home to re-clean the missed areas at no additional charge.

Mayday was outstanding and worth more than 5 stars!
I received a quote from Elle and she was thorough and responsive the several times I contacted her. The two professionals who cleaned my house scouted, dusted, polished and generally cleaned our place beyond our expectations. I would 100% recommend Mayday for any cleaning job.
Thanks!

Thank you Mayday Home Cleaning Services!!! I contacted this company through a referral and I am HIGHLY SATISFIED! They were punctual, professional, and kind. With work, school, and my babies I needed help. They definitely delivered outstanding services! My house has not looked this spotless since we moved in! The staff Ana and Wendy are AMAZING! I have a dog that sheds like there is no tomorrow, and they got Everything! You can’t tell I’m a dog owner now. I really appreciate the attention to detail. Windows are clean and clear. Shower doors, mirrors, stove top, and counter tops all SPOTLESS. My entire home looks, smells, and feels sanitized. They even dusted areas I have neglected in a long time. I will be contacting them again for sure! Thank you so much once more!! I Definitely recommend them!!!

So thankful for Mayday Home cleaning services! They were very easy to communicate with and the cleaning crew was very friendly and professional. I felt comfortable leaving them at my house cleaning while I went to handle a few Doctor appointments. They texted me to confirm their arrival time and accommodated me when I was running a little late to let them in. They brought their own cleaning supplies and left my house incredibly clean for my family and newborn. I will definitely be using them again in the near future. Thank you!
