What's Included in a Standard House Cleaning?
Exactly what gets cleaned in a standard Super Shine visit — room-by-room scope, what's not included by default, and how to add extras.
We hear from busy families across Ampang and Selangor that managing a complete house cleaning scope feels like an impossible second job. The daily grind leaves little energy for scrubbing floors.
Our standard Super Shine service is built specifically for week-to-week or fortnight-to-fortnight upkeep. This routine maintenance bridges the gap between your quarterly deep cleans.
We designed this checklist to keep your home consistently liveable without the heavier behind-appliance, grout, and ceiling-fan work of a major overhaul.
A clear understanding of the standard cleaning checklist Malaysia residents rely on sets the right expectations for every visit. Our guide walks through exactly what gets done, what requires a special request, and the typical add-ons people book.
Room-by-room house cleaning scope
Living and dining areas
High-traffic zones require immediate attention. We tackle the living spaces with a strict sequence to eliminate the dust trapped by tropical humidity.
- Sweeping and mopping all floors (tile, vinyl, laminate, and sealed wood) using effective solutions like Bio-Home
- Wiping down accessible horizontal surfaces, including coffee tables, side tables, console tops, and sideboards
- Surface vacuuming of sofas to remove crumbs (note that deep extraction is a separate upholstery cleaning service)
- Dusting picture frames and decor items at a reachable height
- Disinfecting switch plates and door handles with trusted products like Dettol
- Light tidying, which includes folding throws and straightening cushions
This clear process leaves the room feeling instantly refreshed.
Bedrooms
Our bedroom routine focuses on reducing allergens that impact sleep quality. Allergy specialists confirm that dust mites thrive in tropical climates, making thorough floor care essential.
- Floors swept and mopped to remove microscopic debris
- Beds made (sheets straightened, pillows arranged, throws folded)
- Dressers, bedside tables, and headboard tops wiped to clear dead skin cells
- Wardrobe handles and front faces wiped (interior wiping is a deep-clean task)
- Switch plates and door handles disinfected to stop the spread of viruses
We recommend leaving ceiling fans off during the visit to prevent dust from circulating.
Kitchen
Heavy frying leaves oil residue across the room. We approach the kitchen with a focus on breaking down this stubborn daily cooking grease.
- Worktops fully wiped and disinfected (the stove must be off and cool first)
- Stovetop cleaned of visible spills and surface grease using targeted degreasers
- Sink, taps, and drain treated with a pH-neutral solvent to protect delicate finishes
- Splashback wiped of visible splatter from recent meal prep
- Cabinet exteriors and handles wiped to cut through sticky buildup
- Floor swept and mopped
- Bin emptied and liner replaced
A clean cooking space dramatically reduces the risk of household pests.
Bathrooms
Our team pays special attention to the rapid mineral buildup caused by hard water in Selangor. The damp environment requires strong, targeted sanitation.
- Toilet bowl, seat, base, and tank exterior cleaned with high-grade solutions
- Sink, taps, mirror, and surrounding wall scrubbed to remove toothpaste splatter
- Shower glass wiped of fresh soap film (a full descale is a deep-clean scope)
- Floor swept and mopped, with the drain treated to prevent odours
- Bin emptied
We always use separate, colour-coded cloths here to prevent cross-contamination.
Common areas and balconies
Traffic dust from the street quickly settles on outdoor and entryway surfaces. Our final sweep targets these transitional spaces to create a welcoming first impression.
- Balcony floor swept to clear dry debris (a full balcony tile wash is on request)
- Entryway shoe-rack tidied
- Front door interior side wiped to remove fingerprints and smudges
These small details make the entire home feel professionally managed.
What we don’t include by default
We often get asked about specific, intensive tasks that fall outside the routine visit. These common exclusions can easily be booked as paid add-ons or as part of a deep cleaning package.

Planning ahead allows the schedule to accommodate these specific chores. We can pre-quote any of these requests and slot the extra time into the visit if you tell us during booking. If you’re still working out cadence, see how often you should book a professional house cleaning for our recommended frequency by household type.
What we bring
Clients do not need to provide any supplies for the appointment. Our team brings a complete kit of professional-grade tools to ensure a flawless finish.
- Microfiber cloths (separated by colour for specific use: kitchen, bathroom, glass, general)
- Floor mop and bucket system designed for streak-free drying
- HEPA vacuum (the standard kind, capturing 99.97% of dust particles, not the industrial extractor)
- All-purpose, glass, bathroom, kitchen, and disinfectant solutions (using trusted brands)
- Toilet brush dedicated strictly to bowl cleaning
- Cleaning gloves to maintain sanitary practices
Harsh chemicals can be a concern for households with pets or young children. We substitute standard items with eco-friendly, fragrance-free, or hypoallergenic products if you tell us when booking.
How long a standard clean takes
The duration of a visit depends heavily on the square footage and the number of rooms. Our estimates below provide a reliable baseline for average, lived-in homes.
| Home | Team | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1BR condo | 2 cleaners | 2-3 hours |
| 2BR condo | 2 cleaners | 2.5-3.5 hours |
| 3BR condo | 2 cleaners | 3-4 hours |
| 3BR landed | 2 cleaners | 4-6 hours |
| Bungalow | 3 cleaners | 5-8 hours |
Real-world conditions dictate the final tally of hours needed on-site. We typically extend each band by 1 to 2 hours for heavily soiled spaces, post-illness sanitization, or post-occupancy conditions.
