Brookline facts behind a deep clean
Prewar checklist
Brookline mixes brick apartment buildings, towers and houses, so the detail work depends on the building you live in.
Inside oven is $35 and inside fridge is $30 as add-ons. For the full list, see deep cleaning, or read cleaning old Cambridge and Brookline homes.
Prewar kitchens tend to be small and galley-shaped, so grease and dust collect on a short run of cabinets and one backsplash. The stovetop, backsplash and range hood exterior are degreased, cabinet fronts and handles are wiped top to bottom, and the inside of the microwave is cleaned.
Tile, grout and soap scum are the main work in an older bathroom. Grout in the shower and tub area is scrubbed, soap scum is cleaned from tile, glass and fixtures, and the toilet base and the space behind it are cleaned.
Window sills and tracks, baseboards and door frames are wiped, and floors are vacuumed or mopped edge to edge. Interior windows are an add-on at $12 each.
In a walk-up, the climb is our cleaners’ job: they carry the supplies and equipment themselves. Inside your home, banisters, railings and spindles are wiped, and stairs and landings are vacuumed wherever you have them.
In a tower, tell us in the quote request about any building rules for contractors, deliveries or the elevator, so they are on record for your visit.
Larger single-family homes have more rooms, more stairs and more trim. Homes above 2,500 sq ft are quoted individually, so send the details with your request.
Planning
Two practical things to sort out before the visit, and one decision about which clean to book.
The Town of Brookline allows no more than two hours on the same street between 6 a.m. and 2 a.m., and one hour between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. A deep clean of a full apartment can outlast two hours, so tell us in your quote request how you park.
The town lists guest overnight parking lots in Coolidge Corner, Washington Square and Brookline Village at $10 per night, and commercial permit parking in some Coolidge Corner municipal lots. Check brooklinema.gov for current rules.
If your home is kept up week to week, a standard clean may be enough. A deep clean suits a first clean, a seasonal reset or a home that needs catching up.
