House cleaning in Las Terrenas

Cleaning services in this category

• Houses and villas: regular or deep cleaning of bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, terraces and the immediate outdoor areas, as a one-off or on a schedule.
• Apartments: cleaning in residential complexes and condominiums, following building rules on hours, access and rubbish disposal.
• Post-construction cleaning: removing cement dust, paint splashes, silicone and grout haze from tiles, and cleaning windows and floors before you move in or rent out. It usually calls for different equipment and products from routine cleaning.
• Pest control (fumigación): treatment against cockroaches, ants, mosquitoes, termites and other pests, carried out by a provider who works with specialist products.

Cleaning in a tropical, seaside setting

• Humidity and mould: wardrobes, mattresses, curtains and stored linen go mouldy easily, especially in a closed-up house. Airing rooms, checking wardrobes and washing textiles are part of good upkeep.
• Salt and sand: near the sea, salt clouds windows and builds up on metal, outdoor furniture and appliances, and sand gets everywhere.
• Rainy season: mud and leaves collect on terraces, at entrances and in drains.
• Insects: food scraps, standing water and rubbish attract them. Cleaning helps prevent problems, but an established infestation needs pest control.
• Absent owners: a clean before you arrive means the house is ready; another when you leave helps limit odours and pests while it stands empty.
• Holiday rentals: guest turnover requires well-timed cleans between stays and a check on the condition of the property.

How often?

It depends on the size of the home, whether it is lived in year-round, whether there are pets, and whether it is rented out. Some clients book a weekly or fortnightly clean; others only before an arrival or after each guest departure. For pest control, the professional recommends a schedule based on the pest and the surroundings. In every case, the rhythm is set in your agreement with the provider.

What to get in writing

• Tasks included and excluded: floors, bathrooms, kitchen, inside appliances, windows, terraces, laundry and ironing.
• Who supplies products and equipment.
• Number of staff, expected hours and service days.
• How keys and access to the property are handled.
• How damage, breakdowns or missing items are reported.
• Price, payment method and cancellation terms.
• For pest control: products used, precautions and how long before re-entry.

Questions to ask before you hire

• Can you give me a detailed written proposal or quote?
• Are products and equipment included?
• Which days and times do you offer? Will it always be the same person?
• How is payment handled: per visit, monthly, or in stages for a post-construction clean?
• What happens if a clean is not done properly?
• Do you carry insurance? (check this yourself)
• Can you give me references from other clients?
• Who keeps the keys, and how are they returned at the end of the contract?

Cleaning high windows, ceilings or façades involves working at height: leave it to a properly equipped professional.

Good practice: ask for a written proposal, don't pay for a long period in advance before you have tried the service, and check references. Make a simple inventory of the property before handing over the keys.
