What Happens During Your First Dust&Declutter Clean?
Updated: 5 days ago
What to expect before, during and after your first service.
At Dust&Declutter, we believe the best long-term results start with a strong foundation.
We begin with what we call a Presentation Clean. This first clean brings your home up to our cleaning standard, so your regular visits can focus on keeping it that way.
Your Presentation Clean is charged at an hourly rate. Depending on your home's size and condition, it may take one or two visits to complete.
Allowing the time your home needs means we can achieve exceptional, lasting results without rushing through your entire home in one appointment.
Once your home's presentation standard has been established, your service transitions into your regular cleaning visits, charged at an agreed fixed rate, where we maintain that high standard consistently so you can simply enjoy coming home to a beautifully cared-for space.
What Gets Cleaned During Your First Visit?
Every home is different, which is why we tailor our service to your needs. During your Presentation Clean, your entire home receives a thorough clean, with extra time given to the areas that need it most.
A typical maintenance clean may include:

We Focus on What Matters Most to You
No two homes—or homeowners—are the same.
Before your first clean, we'll discuss your priorities so we understand what's most important to you. Whether it's keeping bathrooms spotless, staying on top of pet hair, or giving extra attention to the kitchen, we'll tailor our service to suit your home and lifestyle.
What's Not Included in a Standard Maintenance Clean?
To ensure we can provide a consistent, high-quality service, some tasks aren't included in a regular maintenance clean unless arranged in advance.
These may include:
Inside ovens
Inside cupboards and drawers
Interior windows
Carpet steam cleaning
Exterior cleaning
Mould remediation
Biohazard cleaning
After Your Presentation Clean
Once your home's presentation standard has been established, your service transitions into regular cleaning visits, charged at an agreed fixed rate.
From this point, we focus on maintaining the high standard we've created, helping your home stay consistently clean, fresh and cared for without the need for lengthy catch-up cleans.
