Keeping a home in Sarasota clean is a little different than keeping a home clean anywhere else. Salt air, sand, humidity and pollen all conspire to dull surfaces faster than you would expect. The good news is that a simple, consistent checklist will keep your home looking guest ready without a huge weekend project.

Weekly tasks (every room)

  • Dust all flat surfaces, shelves and decor
  • Vacuum carpets, rugs and upholstery
  • Mop hard floors with a pH neutral cleaner
  • Empty trash and refresh liners
  • Wipe down light switches and door handles

Kitchen weekly

  • Sanitize countertops, sink and faucet
  • Clean stovetop, backsplash and range hood
  • Wipe fronts of cabinets and appliances
  • Rinse trash bin and take recycling out

Bathrooms weekly

  • Scrub toilets, tubs, showers and tile
  • Clean mirrors and glass, streak free
  • Replace towels and refill soap
  • Squeegee shower glass to prevent hard water spots

Monthly refresh

  • Dust ceiling fans, vents and light fixtures
  • Wipe baseboards and door frames
  • Clean inside the microwave
  • Vacuum under furniture and cushions

Seasonal deep clean (every 3 to 4 months)

  • Wash windows and screens (very important in Florida)
  • Clean inside oven and refrigerator
  • Scrub grout in kitchens and bathrooms
  • Rotate and vacuum mattresses
  • Deep clean upholstery and area rugs

If a full seasonal reset feels overwhelming, that is exactly what a professional deep cleaning is for. Our team can knock it out in a single visit so you get back to enjoying the beach, not scrubbing baseboards.
