Holiday cleaning in Pembroke Pines: what to request before guests arrive
Holiday cleaning in Pembroke Pines: plan timing, prioritize guest spaces, compare deep cleaning with recurring upkeep, and choose kitchen extras.

Pembroke Pines · Deep Cleaning

For holiday cleaning in Pembroke Pines, start with the kitchen you'll use for food preparation, the bathrooms guests will use, and the rooms where they'll gather or sleep. Whether you're hosting Thanksgiving dinner or a December visit, describe those spaces and their current condition when requesting cleaning.
If your home hasn't been professionally cleaned in more than 30 days, we'll start with a deep clean. For ongoing upkeep afterward, you can choose weekly, biweekly or monthly maintenance.
When to schedule your holiday cleaning
Request your preferred date early so you can check availability before finalizing your plans. Where practical, arrange the main clean after decorating or other dusty preparation. Cooking and daily use can leave new mess afterward, so allow for a quick kitchen and bathroom touch-up before guests arrive.
Which cleaning service fits your home?
For a home that has been professionally cleaned recently and needs routine upkeep, recurring residential cleaning in Pembroke Pines covers dusting, floors, kitchen cleaning and bathroom sanitization. Grease, shower buildup or other areas needing more detailed attention may call for a deep clean even after a recent visit. A holiday deep clean doesn't require you to continue with recurring service.
Residential maintenance starts at $160/visit and deep cleaning at $200/session. These are Mint Maids starting prices, not citywide averages or a final quote; home size, condition and requested extras affect the price. The Pembroke Pines house-cleaning cost guide explains quote factors in more detail.
What to request for your hosting spaces
Use your actual hosting plans to choose priorities:
- Kitchen: request cleaning and sanitizing of food-preparation and serving counters, plus the sink, stovetop and accessible greasy surfaces.
- Bathrooms: identify the bathrooms guests will use, including toilets, sinks, showers or tubs needing attention. Detailed bathroom descaling is included in a deep clean.
- Guest bedrooms and gathering areas: identify beds to be made with clean linens you provide, accessible surfaces to dust, and floors to vacuum or mop where guests will sleep or gather.
See the full deep-cleaning checklist for Pembroke Pines for included work throughout the home. Supplies and equipment are included.
Choose kitchen interiors only where needed
Add-ons from $10, most $25–$50. For a deep clean, the relevant kitchen options are:
- Inside oven: $25.
Oven interior cleaning.
- Inside empty fridge / basic: $25.
Interior cleaning of an emptied refrigerator.
- Inside full fridge / detailed: $45.
More involved refrigerator interior cleaning when items are still inside.

Cleaning inside cabinets, beyond the included exterior work.
Mention requested extras in the quote form's "Anything else we should know?" field, or discuss them with us by phone or text. For fridge cleaning, say whether it will be empty or still contain items, and ask how to prepare any requested interiors before the visit.
Microwave cleaning inside and out, appliance and cabinet exteriors, visible baseboards, accessible blinds and basic accessible interior windows are already included in a deep clean. You don't need to add those tasks again.
Know the limits before planning the visit
Deep cleaning excludes moving heavy furniture, exterior windows, severe mold removal, paint/cement/adhesive removal and areas outside safe reach. Describe any of these concerns when requesting your quote. Heavy buildup may need a second session.
A short checklist before guests arrive
- Put away personal belongings from requested counters, surfaces and floors where practical so they can be reached.
- Have clean guest linens available if you want beds made.
- Follow the team's preparation instructions for any appliance or cabinet interiors you've requested.
