Laundry & Light Cleaning

What’s included with a laundry and light cleaning?

Cleaning by Design has a new service!

Try out Laundry & Light Cleaning in between your recurring appointments! Clients are billed hourly (two hour minimum). Priority and primary task is ‘LAUNDRY’. Light cleaning tasks are done when time permits in between cycles when laundry has been organized and put away.

Laundry service includes:

• We will gather from designated baskets/ areas and sort soiled laundry.
• Add to the dry cycle (or hang to dry) according to client instructions.
• Sort the clean laundry, fold, hang & organize into drawers or closets according to client instructions.
• We may leave large bulky items drying when we leave if our time is up.
• We will make every effort to wash and dry the “hard stuff” first (socks, clothes, t-shirts) and try to only leave the “easy stuff” drying if we will run out of time (like towels).

Light cleaning may include:

• Wipe down kitchen and bathroom countertops/sinks.
• Clean the inside of the microwave and wipe down the stove top.
• Wipe down mirrors and accessible common area surfaces.
• Load/empty dishwasher.
• Shake out area rugs.
• Light sweeping, or vacuuming
• Tidy up areas, pick up toys and straighten up where necessary.
• Make beds, change linens and tidy up sofas.
• Tidy up linen closets.

***The light cleaning consists of items that can be done during the wash/dry cycles. We can provide you with our general checklist to help prioritize what items are most important to you.

Our light cleaning does not include any heavy cleaning items.
