SERVICES Cummings Cleaning LLC | Expert House Cleaning Services in Palm Springs

Residential Cleaning Services

At your first visit from Cummings Cleaning LLC, we work tirelessly to get your home to our maintenance level of clean. First visits always take the longest, as build up and dust is very common in all homes that have not had a regular cleaner. From there, we discuss with you regular cleanings that make sense for both your home and your wallet. The majority of our clients find that biweekly is a great appointment frequency, though many are thrilled with weekly or monthly cleanings. Everyone’s home and family is different, and we will always suggest to you what we believe is the necessary frequency- some homes truly only need monthly visits! We want your relationship with the top cleaning service in Palm Springs to be an honest and happy one.

Move in/Move Out Cleaning Services

Cummings Cleaning LLC is not the “quick wipe down” kind of cleaning service. We became the highest rated cleaning service in Palm Springs due to our attentiveness to the details- we know that those are the tasks our clients simply can’t get to in their busy lives. We work in efficient, methodical patterns to systematically clean every area of the home listed on our standardized residential cleaning checklist. These checklists ensure you are receiving the same great clean each and every visit. Our cleaners are trained to seek out those areas that tend to get missed in the hustle and bustle of everyday life; ceiling fans, tops of door frames, light switches, cabinet fronts- those are the areas we especially take pride in taking care of for our clients. If you have a particular task that you don’t see on our checklist, just mention it to us in the walk through, or to your cleaner, and we will be sure to allot the proper amount of time at your next visit to get it done right for you.

Vacation Rental Cleaning

At Cummings Cleaning LLC, we are obsessed with helping our clients get their free time back. We believe that your “me time” should not include scrubbing toilets and cleaning floors. We KNOW the feeling of coming home, absolutely exhausted, only to continue the work at home. It is HARD to relax completely in a dirty home- having a tidy and clean space is virtually life changing for mental wellbeing and the ability to be fully present with your loved ones. Allowing the number one house cleaning service in Palm Springs to care for your home means more relaxation, time, and energy for all the other areas of your life.

Vacation Rental Properties:

Our standard tasks we complete at short term rentals are very similar to our standard residential cleanings

Some of the more specific tasks we do for these homeowners/Property Managers:

Change all used bedding and make beds as specified
Wash all used bedding and towels.
Document any damage or excessive dirtiness to send to clients
Check/clean interior of fridge and empty of all food left behind
Check stock of all kitchen and bath supplies, restock if desired.
Check exterior of home for trash or debris that needs to be picked up.
Clean pool/patio area.
Put away all dishes that have been washed by guests
Garbage removal.
Leave out care package items for next guests (specific greeting cards, snacks, wine/beer). Typically left secured by the client and we will in turn leave out for guests.

This list is not all inclusive, and we are happy to do an assortment of tasks not included in these lists. We understand how much goes into managing rental properties, and we love being able to relieve some stress from these owners/property managers by providing professional and efficient cleaning services for these rentals. Cummings Cleaning's reputation in both standard residential cleaning and short term rental cleaning service in Palm Springs is well known in the community.
