The method, No. 1 to 4
Every room, in the same four steps.
219 Cleaning Co. cleans every room in the same four steps, in the same order, on every visit. The order is the point: each step keeps the next one from undoing finished work.
Top to bottom
High surfaces first, floors last, so nothing falls on a finished surface.
Dust only travels one way. In every room, 219 Cleaning Co. starts at the highest surfaces and works down, and the floor is always the final pass. A counter wiped before the shelf above it would need wiping twice, so the order never changes.
Dry before wet
Dusting and vacuuming come before wiping and mopping.
Dust that meets a damp cloth turns into streaks. Loose dust and debris come off first, with dusting and vacuuming, and only then does the wet work start: wiping, washing, mopping. Wet work goes onto a surface that is already clear, so it dries clean instead of cloudy.
Edges first
Corners and edges are worked before open surfaces.
Corners, the line where a counter meets the wall, the edge of a floor along the trim: these are the places a hurried clean skips and the places build-up shows. 219 Cleaning Co. works the edges of a surface before its open middle, so the parts you notice later get attention first.
Checked against the written checklist
Every room is checked against the written checklist before we leave.
The checklist is written down so the job never depends on memory. Before the crew leaves, each room is checked against it. You do not have to re-explain the job on the next visit, and anything not right, tell us within 48 hours and we return. Free.
What each visit covers.
Each service covers a defined set of work, listed here in plain terms. Every visit is worked from a written checklist and checked against it before the crew leaves.

Questions about The 219 Standard
Short answers to what people ask about how the work is done, who needs to be home and what the crew brings.
Read every answer in the 219 Cleaning Co. FAQDo I need to be home for a cleaning?
No, you do not need to be home for a 219 Cleaning Co. cleaning. You can give 219 Cleaning Co. a door code, a key or a garage pin, and add any access details to the notes on the quote form. You get a text when the crew arrives and another when the job is done, with photos if you’d like them.
Does 219 Cleaning Co. bring cleaning supplies?
Yes, 219 Cleaning Co. brings all supplies and equipment to every visit, and they are included in your written quote. You do not need to buy anything or leave products out. If you prefer specific products in your home, for a particular surface, an allergy or a scent you like, tell us in the notes on the quote form and the crew will use yours.
Can 219 Cleaning Co. clean a home with pets?
Yes, 219 Cleaning Co. cleans homes with pets and works around them on every visit. When you request a quote, tell us who lives there, so nobody gets surprised when the crew opens the door.
