Standard & one-time cleaning
House cleaning services in Los Angeles & Pasadena
A thorough, room-by-room clean of the spaces you live in every day — kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas and floors — booked once or on a schedule that fits your week.
01Overview
What a Pro Help house cleaning covers
Our standard house cleaning is the service most homes start with. We work through the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living spaces and laundry area following the same checklist every visit, so you always know what will be done before we arrive.
It works as a one-time clean before guests arrive or after a busy stretch, and it is the same service we repeat for weekly, biweekly and monthly clients. If your home has not had a professional clean in a while, we may suggest starting with a deep cleaning first and moving to standard visits afterward.

04FAQ
House Cleaning: common questions
Still have a question? Call or text us — we are happy to help.
How is the price of a house cleaning calculated?
Estimates are based on the size of the home (square footage and number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas), the type of cleaning and any add-ons you choose. Tell us about your home by phone, text or the quote form and we will give you an estimate before booking.
Can I book just one cleaning?
Yes. One-time cleanings use the same checklist as our recurring visits. Many clients start with one visit and decide afterward whether a schedule makes sense.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
No. Many clients leave entry instructions. If you give us a key or a door code, let us know how to enter securely and how to handle any alarm system.
Should I tidy up before you arrive?
A quick pick-up of personal items, papers and fragile objects lets us spend the visit cleaning instead of moving things around. Our guide on preparing for a cleaning visit has more tips.
