A standard cleaning keeps your home consistently fresh, tidy, and comfortable without the deeper scrubbing of a first-time clean. First Class Clean is a veteran-owned house cleaning company providing reliable standard cleaning for homes, condos, and apartments across Chicago — from Lincoln Park and Lakeview to River North, the West Loop, and beyond.
It is the right service for a home that is already in good shape and just needs regular upkeep. You can book a standard clean as a one-time service, or set it up on a recurring weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly schedule to keep things effortlessly maintained.
What’s included in a standard cleaning
A standard clean focuses on the everyday surfaces and rooms that need regular attention. A typical visit covers:
- Kitchen: countertops, sink, stovetop, exterior of appliances, and floors
- Bathrooms: toilet, sink and vanity, shower and tub, mirrors, and floors
- Bedrooms and living areas: dusting of reachable surfaces, tidying, and making beds on request
- Throughout the home: floors vacuumed and mopped, trash emptied, and general tidying
Need something more thorough — baseboards, inside the oven, interior windows? Those are available as add-ons, or you may want a deep clean instead.
Standard cleaning vs deep cleaning
The simplest way to think about it: a deep clean gets your home to a baseline, and a standard clean keeps it there. A deep clean is intensive and detailed, reaching built-up grime, baseboards, fixtures, and hard-to-reach spots — it is what we recommend for first-time clients or homes that have not been professionally cleaned in a while. A standard clean is lighter, faster, and designed for maintenance once your home is already clean. Many clients start with a one-time deep clean, then switch to recurring standard cleans to stay on top of it.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a standard clean and a deep clean? A standard clean maintains an already-clean home with regular upkeep, while a deep clean is a more intensive, detailed service that reaches built-up grime, baseboards, and hard-to-reach areas. We recommend starting with a deep clean if it has been a while since your last professional cleaning.
How often should I schedule a standard cleaning? That depends on your home and lifestyle. Many clients choose weekly or bi-weekly service for busy households, while others prefer monthly. You can set up whatever schedule works for you when you book.
How much does a standard cleaning cost in Chicago? Standard cleaning is priced based on the size of your home. You will see an upfront, transparent quote when you book online — no hidden fees, and recurring clients receive a lower rate.
Do I need to provide cleaning supplies? No. The cleaners we refer bring their own supplies and equipment.
