Our battle-hardened 85-point checklist

Every clean follows a strict protocol. We don’t just wipe surfaces; we systematically detail your home room by room. Here is the whole list — all 85 points of it.

How to read this list. Each room type carries its own list, and every point is one thing a cleaner physically does. A three-bedroom home does not get 85 points once — the bedroom list runs in every bedroom and the bathroom list in every bathroom. Nothing below is a second name for something already counted above it.

What Our Customers Say

Real reviews from real customers across Google and Yelp.

Yelp review from Mike R., Austin, TX — 5 stars, April 16 2025. I have used several different cleaning services in Austin, and VivaClean is, by far, the best. Compared to other cleaning services, their pricing is much more competitive. The fact that they hire their cleaners as employees as opposed to independent contractors means the standard of cleaning is much higher, and the cleaners receive employee benefits. Paola is our usual cleaner and always does an extraordinary job, and we have also had great experiences with Maria Teresa when Paola was not available. Their customer support is also quite responsive — you can text them at any time and they are always helpful. I hope Paola and Maria Teresa stay with them for a long time!

Yelp review from Jennifer M., Austin, TX — 5 stars, November 29 2024. I get a clean for a two bed, two bath apt on a weekly basis and am really pleased 95% of the time. Now that I've been working with them for a few years, I get the same three cleaners most of the time who understand my apartment and the rhythm of how I work around them (I do laundry and clean up some things in order to get things ready for them) and know what I like (attention to detail!). When they do the cleaning, I'm 100% happy. However, sometimes someone new subs in, and often the results aren't quite what I'm looking for, but that's relatively rare. If I ever have comments about something that needed more attention, the management takes it seriously and it's addressed the next time. I appreciate the reliability and quality of their work very much.

Yelp review from Kimberly P., Austin, TX — 5 stars, September 27 2023 (Updated review). Cannot thank Paola and VivaClean enough for the customer service and amazing service. Such a huge help being a mom of 2 little ones and working from home. Paola is the Angel I needed to help me and VivaClean did an amazing job in find good people! This is an updated review from my first one, I decided to go with one of the maids originally assigned to me and have her come weekly. My apt looks amazing and feels so comfy after she leaves.

Google review from Hanee Kim, Local Guide — 5 stars. Reasonable price, $150-200. I started using this service last month and doing a monthly cleaning service. I love how clean the apt looks and am very satisfied. I think the price is very reasonable especially when you subscribe. Def recommend!!
