House Cleaning in NIA Valencia

Yes, and most providers accommodate it — either with their own green product line (sometimes a small surcharge) or by using products you supply. Flag allergies, babies, and pets when booking. Note that some jobs, like heavy limescale or mould, genuinely need stronger chemistry to work.

A standard clean covers surfaces you touch weekly: vacuuming, mopping, dusting, bathrooms, kitchen wipe-down and bins. A deep clean adds the build-up work — inside the oven and fridge, skirting boards, under furniture, limescale removal, grout scrubbing and window sills. Deep cleans typically cost 50-100% more and take roughly twice as long. Book a deep clean first if the home hasn't been professionally cleaned in 6+ months, then maintain with standard cleans.

Weekly works for families with kids or pets; fortnightly suits most working households; monthly keeps a low-traffic home from sliding but won't feel consistently clean. Recurring slots are usually cheaper per visit than one-offs because the home never gets far from baseline.

First cleans are priced 30-100% higher because the cleaner is removing months of build-up — limescale, soap scum, greasy kitchen surfaces — that maintenance visits never face. Some companies require a deep clean before starting a recurring schedule. After that, the home stays near baseline and visits get faster and cheaper.

Ask: Are you insured, and for how much? Who exactly will clean my home — same person each visit? What's on your standard task list, and what's excluded? Do you bring supplies? What's your policy on damage, rescheduling and cancellation? How do you handle keys? Providers who answer these crisply are almost always the better operators.

It varies and you must confirm before booking. Most companies bring everything; many independent and platform-booked cleaners expect you to provide products, a vacuum and a mop — especially in Asia and the Middle East. If the cleaner brings supplies, tell them about any surface restrictions (stone worktops, hardwood) and preferences like fragrance-free or eco products.

One-off professional cleans in Metro Manila run about PHP 800-2,000 for a studio or 1-BR condo and PHP 1,500-4,200 for a house, usually with a 2-3 person team. Hourly equivalents work out to roughly PHP 150-400 per cleaner. Provincial rates run meaningfully lower than Metro Manila.

The Batas Kasambahay requires a written employment contract, at least the regional minimum wage for domestic workers, weekly rest days, 13th-month pay, and employer-paid SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG registration. One-off cleaning companies carry none of these obligations for you — their staff are their employees.
