Initial House Cleaning in Nassau, Suffolk & NYC

Before regular visits start, almost every new EEB customer has an Initial Cleaning. It's a detailed, top-to-bottom clean that gets the whole home to EEB's standard, so each visit after that is about keeping it there rather than catching up.

Why we start with an Initial Cleaning

We ask for it even if the house was cleaned recently, by you or another company. Every cleaner has their own way of doing things, and the corners that get skipped are usually the ones that take longest: behind appliances, along baseboards, the build-up in shower grout.

Starting from our own clean means your regular visits are planned with the right amount of time.

• ✓Kitchen. Counters, backsplash, sink and faucet; cabinet fronts and handles; stovetop and the outside of appliances, with grease worked off.
• ✓Bathrooms. Showers, tubs and tile scrubbed; soap scum and water spots on glass and fixtures; toilets inside and out, including the base; mirrors and vanities.
• ✓Bedrooms and living areas. Dusting high and low, including shelves, frames, sills, door frames, switches and baseboards; behind and under furniture that can be moved safely.
• ✓Floors. Vacuuming carpets and rugs, edges included; mopping hard floors.

Add-ons

Inside the oven, refrigerator, microwave and cabinets are add-ons unless your package or quote includes them (add-ons). Your booking shows what's included before you pay.

If something looks fragile or damaged, such as a loose fixture or crumbling blinds, we may leave it rather than risk making it worse, and we'll tell you.

Some subscription packages include their own deep clean at the start, so the plan you pick decides what your first visit looks like. You'll see this when you compare plans.

If the home is in heavier condition than normal, the Initial Cleaning may include a condition adjustment. That adjustment is for the first visit only. Once the home is at EEB's standard and you keep to your schedule, your regular visits are priced for normal upkeep.

Homes with a lot of clutter are a different job. See clutter cleanup.

1. Booking. Choose Initial Cleaning in the services directory and enter your rooms, bathrooms and any add-ons. Sign in to see your price.
2. On the day. Your Cleaning Professional or crew works through the home room by room. The first visit takes longer than a regular one, and larger homes may get more than one person.
3. Supplies. EEB can bring the standard professional supplies and equipment needed for your service. If you'd like us to use your own products, they need to be suitable, labeled and safe to use. Specialty products, unusually large properties or special equipment can affect the price, and we'll tell you before the visit.
4. After. Your regular schedule starts from there, if you've set one up.

Your Initial Cleaning price is based on the number of rooms, bathrooms and kitchens, the cleaning time your home needs, and any add-ons. Choosing the eco-conscious product option can change the price.

Discounts

Ask about available discounts. New accounts, veterans and customers who set up an eligible recurring plan with their first cleaning may qualify. Eligibility, exclusions and current terms apply.
