If you are thinking about hiring a cleaning service in the Orlando, Florida area, you may be wondering what the difference is between a home and apartment cleaning service.
Most cleaning companies do both, such as Covenant Cleaning Services. Let’s break down the differences between the two so you have a clearer picture of what to expect and who you should hire.
Size difference between homes and apartments
The most obvious difference, at least for most, is the size. Most apartments have only one floor and overall smaller square footage. They tend to have fewer bedrooms and no garages. Since space is a priority they often use rooms for several different functions.
Most have a small patio area, often screened in. They may or may not have a dedicated laundry room. Overall apartments are normally smaller in size with fewer rooms to clean.
Homes on the other hand can have two or more floors, which means stairs. They often have a garage, a front and/or back deck and maybe a pool area or entertainment spot outside.
The rooms are often bigger and more of them, with perhaps more bedrooms, bathrooms, an office room, laundry room, hallways, sunroom and so on. The windows are often bigger with more built in ledges that need cleaning.
Apartment cleaning services overview
Since apartments are smaller it takes less time to clean them. There are fewer, if any stairs to vacuum or mop if hardwood. Smaller and fewer windows are faster and easier to clean.
The small outside patios can be cleaned fairly quickly and since many are screened in there are less leaves and airborne dirt to pick up. No pool area or decks to clean also reduce the cleaning time.
Cleaning is focused on high traffic areas like the entrance, kitchen, bathrooms and living room. The other rooms and areas are also cleaned of course, but with a more ongoing maintenance focus. Unless you are having a deep clean.
A smaller area with multi purpose rooms does tend to get dirtier faster than a home. Covenant Cleaning Services cleans apartments of all kinds. They can make a custom cleaning plan just for you and find that perfect schedule that keeps your apartment clean and sparkling fresh!
They also do apartment move in and move out cleaning, deep cleaning and more. You can supply your own products like toilet paper, trash bags, paper towels and so on, or have them supply them for you.
Overall apartment cleaning services cost less than home cleaning as it takes less time and effort to clean. Let Covenant Cleaning Services give you a free estimate and be your apartment cleaning company!
Home cleaning services overview
Homes come in many different sizes, from small one bedroom starter homes to million dollar mansions! Most fall in the middle, with between 2-4 bedrooms, 2-3 bathrooms, a garage and maybe 2 floors.
They often have stairs that need to be vacuumed or mopped, maybe some outside stairs that need to be swept down. Dens, office rooms and sun rooms mean more areas to clean.
With more space comes more shelves and items on them needing to be dusted off. More furniture requires more time to move and clean around and under. More trash cans to empty and clean also.
Larger windows take a bit longer to wipe down and clean the ledges under them. Stair railings get a wipe down too, as well as dusting high lights or chandeliers. Hot tubs or garden tubs need extra work also.
Depending on the home cleaning package you choose your pool area, decks and other outside areas will get a good sweeping, cleaning and mopping. Your garage will also get cleaned if it is included in the cleaning agreement.
Home cleaning often takes longer than an apartment, so in general it cost more. But it depends on the size of the home and outside areas to be cleaned.
