Our Rotating Detail Dusting
Keeping your home beautifully maintained means paying attention to the little details, too! In addition to your regular cleaning tasks, our team rotates attention between higher and lower areas of your home.
High Dusting
Includes accessible ceiling fans, approved blinds, plantation shutters, light fixture exteriors (we do not remove globes), and other reachable high surfaces.
Low Dusting
Includes routine dusting of accessible baseboards, lower ledges, and other reachable low areas.
Weekly & Biweekly Clients
High and low detail dusting rotate between visits according to our cleaning schedule.
Monthly Clients
Both high and low dusting are included during each scheduled visit.
Good to Know: Rotating dusting is routine maintenance, not detailed hand-wiping or removal of accumulated buildup. If you have many frames and decorative accessories, be sure to give an accurate "clutter" code.
