House cleaning is routine upkeep of the surfaces you use every day: kitchens, bathrooms, floors, and dusting throughout. It maintains a home that is already in reasonable shape, and runs $120–$180 per visit. It is not the same as a deep clean, which resets built-up grime.

Deep cleaning is a top-to-bottom reset that reaches the buildup a standard clean skips: baseboards, grout lines, inside appliances, window tracks, and hand-wiped fixtures. Cardinal Home Cleaning recommends it as a first visit and once or twice a year afterward.

Move-out cleaning is a deep clean of an empty home so it passes a landlord or buyer inspection. It covers inside cabinets, drawers, closets, appliances, and baseboards, targeting the details that decide whether a security deposit is returned.

Recurring maid service is scheduled housekeeping on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly cycle. After a first deep clean sets the baseline, each maintenance visit keeps kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas consistently clean for a lower per-visit rate.

Apartment cleaning is housekeeping scaled to smaller, single-level living spaces. It focuses on high-use kitchens and bathrooms, shared living areas, and tight layouts common in Northern Virginia condos and rentals, with flexible scheduling around building access rules.

Post-construction cleaning removes the fine drywall dust, debris, and residue left after a remodel or new build. It is a multi-pass clean because construction dust resettles, so surfaces, vents, and floors are cleaned more than once until the home is move-in ready.

Carpet cleaning uses hot-water extraction to lift dirt, allergens, and odors that vacuuming leaves behind. Cardinal Home Cleaning prices it by area, starting at $159 for three areas, and it pairs well with move-out cleans and seasonal deep cleaning.

Disinfection cleaning applies EPA-registered products to high-touch surfaces after they are cleaned, reducing germs on doorknobs, switches, faucets, and handles. Per CDC guidance, cleaning removes soil first; disinfecting then kills remaining germs, which is why the two steps run in order.

Commercial cleaning covers offices, suites, and small business spaces on a recurring schedule, typically outside business hours. It differs from residential work in scope and cadence: restrooms, break rooms, and shared touchpoints are serviced far more often, and the work is priced by square footage rather than bedroom count.
