What Does a Standard Clean Include?

Everything You Need to Know – From Mac’s Cleaning Magicians in Cork

Keeping your home clean isn’t just about appearances—it’s about comfort, hygiene, and peace of mind. At Mac’s Cleaning Magicians, we specialise in residential and general cleaning services across Cork, and one of the most popular services we provide is the standard clean.

But what exactly does a standard clean include? Whether you're hiring a professional cleaner for the first time or just curious about what you’re paying for, this guide breaks it all down for you.





What Is a Standard Clean?

A standard clean (also known as a maintenance clean) is designed to keep your home consistently clean and presentable. It focuses on high-traffic areas and routine tasks that help maintain hygiene without going into deep-clean territory.

This type of clean is ideal for:

  • Weekly or bi-weekly upkeep

  • Preparing for visitors

  • Busy professionals and families

  • Anyone who values a clean home without the hassle
