What Our House Cleaning Service Covers

Our Fairfax house cleaning service covers the full home: kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices, laundry rooms, dens, playrooms, and home gyms. Cleaning and sanitizing are part of every visit, not separate tiers. High-touch surfaces: light switches, doorknobs, and bathroom fixtures receive focused attention to help mitigate the spread of germs throughout the home.

Standard tasks on every visit include dusting, sweeping, vacuuming, mopping, and scrubbing surfaces in every room we cover. That’s a whole-home clean, not just the rooms that are easy to reach. Services may vary by location; contact our Fairfax office for the complete list of what’s included at your address.

How the Detail-Clean Rotation System® Works

Most recurring cleaning services maintain surface cleanliness but don’t get into the areas that accumulate buildup over time. Our Detail-Clean Rotation System® is built to address that. Every new recurring client starts with two initial deep cleans before the rotation cycle begins.

First Deep Clean
A Detail-Clean of the kitchen and bathrooms, combined with a thorough cleaning of all living and sleeping areas throughout the home.

Second Deep Clean
A Detail-Clean of the living and sleeping areas, with a thorough cleaning of the kitchen and bathrooms.

After those two visits, each routine cleaning includes a rotating Detail-Clean of one of four home zones: bathroom, sleeping area, living area, and kitchen. Every area of your home gets focused deep attention on a regular cycle, not just the rooms that were easiest to clean last time. This is the system behind every house cleaning service we provide in Fairfax, and it’s been proven across more than 20 million cleans nationwide.

Eco-Friendly Products: ECOLOGO®-Certified & EPA Safer Choice

We use ECOLOGO®-certified and EPA Safer Choice-labeled cleaning products on every job. These aren’t optional upgrades; they’re the standard across all of our services. The products we bring into your home are environmentally responsible and designed for use around family members and pets, without sacrificing cleaning performance.

The Cleaning Authority is one of the few cleaning companies in North America to use environmentally responsible or sustainable products across its entire operation. ECOLOGO® certification verifies reduced environmental and health impact through independent, third-party review. EPA Safer Choice is a U.S. government program that certifies products contain safer chemical ingredients for people and the environment. Together, these standards mean you don’t have to take our word for it.

A Team You Can Trust in Your Home

Every cleaner on our Fairfax team is professionally trained before their first visit and arrives as part of a fully bonded and insured company. That matters most when you’re not home. Many of our clients arrange access and let us work while they’re at the office or out with their family. The bonded and insured status, combined with our satisfaction guarantee, means you have recourse if anything doesn’t go right.

Our satisfaction guarantee is straightforward: if you’re unhappy with any area we cleaned, call us and we’ll return the next day to re-clean it at no charge. No runaround, no credit system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What determines the cost of house cleaning in Fairfax?
Pricing is based on the size of your home, the type of cleaning service, and how often you schedule visits. Because every household is different, we provide free personalized estimates. Contact our Fairfax office and we can walk you through the options.

Do I need to be home when the cleaning team arrives?
No. Many clients aren’t home during their cleaning. Our team is fully bonded and insured, and we can work with you to arrange safe access. If you have specific instructions, share them in advance and we’ll follow them to the letter.

What happens during the first cleaning appointment?
New recurring clients begin with two initial deep cleans before the Detail-Clean Rotation System® cycle starts. The first visit focuses a Detail-Clean on the kitchen and bathrooms while thoroughly cleaning the rest of the home. The second visit shifts the focus to the living and sleeping areas. After both visits, you’re on the full rotation.

House Cleaning FAQ

  • Do I have to be home while my house is being cleaned?
    No. When you work with your local team, you’ll develop a plan to have our team enter your property at your convenience. We are bonded and insured, and our team is screened and background-checked to provide you peace of mind. We can provide seamless and contactless cleaning solutions through the MyTCA app.
  • What is the difference between cleaning and sanitizing?
    Cleaning removes debris like dirt and dust from surfaces. This usually comes in the form of dusting, vacuuming, and mopping. Sanitizing is removing germs and bacteria from surfaces using sanitizing products. A surface can be cleaned without being sanitized.
  • Can you write off house cleaning services?
    Potentially. If you work from a home office, you may be able to write off a portion of your cleaning service on your taxes. Work with a qualified tax service provider to learn more.
  • Is my house too dirty for a cleaning service?
    We’ll be happy to come to your home for a free in-home estimate to evaluate if our house cleaning and sanitizing services fit your current needs.
  • How often should my home be professionally cleaned?
    We recommend having your home cleaned weekly. If your home is on the smaller side, your space may be okay with just bi-weekly services. The best part about our services is that we’re able to change and customize the frequency to fit your space’s specific needs. Whether that’s weekly, monthly, or quarterly, our team of cleaning experts is happy to work with you to determine the best schedule of care.
  • Is a professional house cleaner worth it?
    Yes. A high-quality, professional house cleaner is worth it because it saves you time and energy and helps you maintain your home. You’ll be able to dedicate more time to your family, career, side hustle – anything else that isn’t cleaning.
  • How much does house cleaning cost?
    The price of your home cleaning will vary based on several factors, including the size of the area to be cleaned, the frequency of cleaning visits, the condition of the space, the unique features of your home, the materials required, and even the presence of pets!
