Full Restoration — Nothing Skipped
Performed at Ultimate Deep Clean Scope. Our Most Thorough Service.
The Initial Cleaning is not a standard clean. It follows the full Ultimate Deep Clean checklist: inside fridge, inside oven, full shower and tub scrub, cabinet fronts deep cleaned, baseboards wiped throughout, and high-touch disinfection in every room. This is the baseline every future maintenance visit depends on. There are no shortcuts on a first clean done right.
— Why It's Non-Negotiable —
Why Every New Client Starts With an Initial Cleaning
Recurring maintenance cleaning is designed to maintain a clean home, not restore one. Without a proper baseline, every subsequent visit works against accumulated buildup instead of maintaining a fresh starting point.
Recurring Cleaning Is Maintenance, Not Restoration
Routine, Standard, and Premium cleans are timed and scoped for upkeep. Asking a maintenance clean to restore months of buildup is the wrong tool. That's why those visits often feel incomplete without a genuine first clean behind them.
The Baseline Is Everything
Every visit after your Initial Clean is more efficient and more efficient and more effective. The team is maintaining a genuine starting point. Our clients consistently notice the difference once their home has a real baseline behind it.
You Only Do It Once, Benefit Forever
After your Initial Clean, your recurring service begins. Most clients find the first few maintenance visits noticeably more thorough. The team is maintaining a genuine baseline, not fighting through years of buildup.
Full Ultimate Deep Clean Scope
Inside fridge, inside oven, full shower and tub scrub, cabinet fronts deep cleaned, baseboards wiped throughout, high-touch disinfection, and grout cleaning. Our most comprehensive professional clean applied to your home.
Same W-2 Team From Day One
The team performing your Initial Clean is the same background-checked, insured W-2 team that maintains your home on every future visit. They learn your home, your preferences, and the areas that matter most to you.
It Protects Our 4.7-Star Rating
A properly executed Initial Clean is the single biggest predictor of long-term satisfaction. It's not about charging more. It's about doing the job right from the start so every future visit actually delivers on what you're paying for.

Frequently Asked Questions About Initial Cleaning in Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky
Everything homeowners across Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky want to know before booking our initial cleaning service — answered honestly.
What is an Initial Cleaning and why is it required for new clients?
The Initial Cleaning is the required first clean for all new recurring clients at Jeannie’s Cleaning. It’s performed at full Ultimate Deep Clean scope — inside fridge, inside oven, full shower and tub scrub, cabinet fronts, baseboards, high-touch disinfection, and a genuine top-to-bottom restoration. It’s required because recurring maintenance cleaning is designed to maintain a clean home, not restore one. Without a proper baseline, every subsequent visit works against accumulated buildup.
How long does an Initial Cleaning take?
An Initial Cleaning takes approximately 4 hours and 40 minutes for a standard 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home. Larger homes or homes with significant buildup will take longer. We always allocate extended time for Initial Cleans because the Ultimate Deep Clean scope demands it.
Can I book an Initial Cleaning as a one-time service without starting a recurring plan?
Yes. While the Initial Clean is required for new recurring clients, it can be booked as a standalone one-time service with no obligation to continue. Many Cincinnati and NKY homeowners book it as a seasonal deep clean reset, before selling a home, or when recovering from months of buildup.
What happens after my Initial Cleaning?
After your Initial Clean, your recurring service begins on your chosen schedule — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly at your selected tier. Every subsequent visit maintains the genuine baseline your Initial Clean established. Most clients find the first few maintenance visits noticeably more effective because the team is maintaining, not restoring.
How much does an Initial Cleaning cost in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky?
Initial Cleaning is priced at Ultimate Deep Clean rates, room by room. Kitchen $100, Bedroom $45, Full Bathroom $85, Half Bathroom $45, Living Room $55, Dining Room $45, Office $55, Laundry Room $45, Common Areas $30. Starting at $339. A typical 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home runs approximately $514.
Is the Initial Cleaning the same as the Ultimate Deep Clean?
Yes. Identical scope, identical price, identical checklist. The distinction is purely contextual: Initial Cleaning is the required first clean for a new recurring client. Ultimate Deep Clean is the same service available to anyone as a standalone or periodic reset.
Do I need to be home for my Initial Cleaning?
No. Most of our clients are not home during their Initial Cleaning. Many provide a key, door code, or lockbox. We confirm access details when you schedule. If you’d prefer to be home on the first visit to meet the team and walk through your home, that’s always welcome.
Why is the Initial Cleaning priced the same as the Ultimate Deep Clean?
Because it is the Ultimate Deep Clean. Same scope, same checklist, same time. Inside appliances, full shower scrub, cabinet fronts, baseboards, and disinfection all require the same time and effort regardless of what we call the service. A discounted first visit produces a substandard baseline, and that’s not a trade-off we make.
Ready to Start Your Recurring Plan the Right Way?
Your Initial Cleaning sets the baseline every future visit builds on. Starting at $339 — price confirmed before we arrive. No contracts, no commitments.
