The reveal-day clean

The last clean before the client walks in

One planned clean, timed to your reveal date, after the trades are out and the paint is dry. For designers, architects and remodelers who want a room ready to be seen and photographed, not only vacuumed.

What you get

  • Dust taken down from the ceiling to the floor

  • Glass and fixtures done by hand

  • A photo set of every room, the same day

Bright kitchen with white cabinets and hardwood floors, a pendant light over the island

What is included, room by room

  • Kitchens

    • Cabinets wiped inside and out

    • Counters, backsplash and sink

    • Appliance fronts, handles and drawers

    • Floors vacuumed, then damp-mopped

  • Bathrooms

    • Shower glass, tracks and tile

    • Vanity, mirror and fixtures

    • Tubs and toilets

    • Floors and thresholds

  • Living rooms and bedrooms

    • Windows and sills, inside

    • Baseboards, trim and doors

    • Closet shelves and rods

    • Vents and light fittings

  • Entries, stairs and halls

    • Handrails and balusters

    • Doors and hardware

    • Stair treads and landings

    • Floors and thresholds

Quoted separately

  • Upper-floor exterior glass

    Reached from the ground or a stable ladder only. Higher glass needs a lift and another company.

  • Inside new appliances and built-ins

    We wipe the fronts. Insides of sealed or unused units are quoted if you want them.

  • A second pass

    If a trade reopens a room after we have cleaned it, the return is quoted in writing.

How the number is made

  • What decides the price

    The size of the project, how much glass it has and how much dust the build left. Two floors and a gutted kitchen are a longer day than a refreshed hallway.

    • Square feet and floors

    • Panes, sliders and shower enclosures

    • Dust left by sanding, tile cutting and demolition

  • What the estimate includes, and what it doesn't

    A written scope lists every room and what we do in it, the number of visits and the date. It covers labor, equipment and supplies. It leaves out repairs and anything we list as quoted separately.

  • What happens at the visit

    Xiuying or Kosal walks the project with your punch list, notes what is still trade work and photographs the starting condition.

  • When you get the number

    In writing within two business days of the walkthrough: one number for the scope we listed, with the date.

    Step 1: Walkthrough

    Xiuying walks each room with you or your site lead and your punch list in hand.

Questions about this clean

How long does a reveal-day clean take?

It depends on the size and how much dust is left. A whole-house final clean usually takes the crew a full day, larger projects take two, and the written scope says which.

Should we clean before or after the stylist?

Most designers book us for the day before the stylist, then add a touch-up visit for marks from deliveries and installs.

What if the paint is still wet?

We clean around it and tell you which rooms we held back, so nobody drags a cloth through a finish.

Send the date, and we work back from it

Tell us the project and the reveal date. Deja writes back with a time for the walkthrough.

We reply by the end of the next business day.
