Anacortes Cleaning Lady
I have clients who want me to come in and do what I do.
They don't want to think about it too much, they want to be able to rely on my judgment at what needs attended to each week.
I have other clients who don't want me to bother with the kitchen, but have the bathrooms as a priority.
Lay of the Land
What I do:
- Lay of the Land
I grab a trash bag and empty all the trash receptacles while I observe what shape the house is in. Will I have to pick up toys, is the kitchen in need of extra attention, where the bathrooms used heavily during the week.
- Tri-Cycle
I organize my cleaning chores on a Tri-cycle.
The TRI-CYCLE Method 
I organize my cleaning chores on a Tri-cycle. (No, not literally.)
I divide your house up into three areas.
- Kitchen
- Bathrooms
- Living room/Bedrooms.
My method of attack is to rotate those three areas, so that each one gets special attention sometime during the month. I am flexible, so when I do my lay of the land, I make a decision as to whether I should prioritize a different area.
Kitchen - there are always extras to do in the kitchen. I am more than happy to clean out your frig, wash down and oil cabinets and dust the top of your cabinets were you might keep decorative plates.
Bathroom - Inside the medicine cabinet, clean out area under the sink, and pay critical attention to shower/tub area.
Living Room and Bedrooms -Vacuum or sweep, floor and decorative moldings, oil wood furniture, dust and spot wash fingerprints of walls and doors.
