Noriko's House Cleaning uses Tekon, a non-toxic water repellent to treat your (all-clear) shower glass (similar to RainX on your windshield, but Tekon, you just need to apply once a year).  It makes our job easier to clean soap scum, that it is included with our service!  We just ask that you maintain it by using a squeegee and towel dry.  Homeowner & house cleaner working together to achieve best results.  This product is usually applied within the first 3 visit.

Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning:  (Plan ahead ... we fit in move-in/out cleans with our regular clients.  Booking 2 weeks in advance is highly recommended).
Based upon an hourly rate ($25/hr/person).  Each cleaning is unique.  We do these for a property management companies professionally.  An estimate may be quoted, however without seeing the physical property, it is difficult to determine due to many factors: amount of regular cleaning has been done, pre-cleaning, pets, etc.
A complete checklist is covered for a thorough cleaning:
