A standard clean covers what you use every day: kitchen counters, sinks, toilets, floors, and dusting in the living room and bedrooms. A deep clean adds detail work in every room, such as baseboards, door frames, light switches, vents, cabinet fronts, and scrubbing built-up soap scum and grease.
Every two weeks suits most family homes. Weekly works better with pets, small kids, or heavy foot traffic, and monthly is enough for smaller homes that stay tidy between visits.
It can. Virginia landlords can deduct for damage beyond reasonable wear and tear and for charges allowed by your lease, and they must send an itemized notice with any refund within 45 days after the tenancy ends or you move out, whichever is later (Va. Code § 55.1-1226). A clean, empty unit at the final walk-through gives the landlord less reason to charge for cleaning.
