Amiga Service Notes
A running diary from our checklist-driven cleaning across the Bay Area — what each service covers city by city, the questions customers ask, and what we learn on the job. Privacy-safe, always: no customer names, addresses, or photos. Updated as we work.

The renovation was done, the crew was gone, and the fine dust wasn't. The customer needed the whole townhome brought back to move-in condition after a remodel — standard post-construction condition, whole-home scope, with scope confirmed before we started.

Apartment cleans are shorter than single-family visits, so the checklist has to prioritize the surfaces that show wear fastest in compact layouts. This note covers how we scope a recurring apartment clean in Mountain View and how saved preferences and SMS-first scheduling keep visits low-friction.

Recurring service should get better over time, not reset every visit. This note explains how saved preferences work in our Palo Alto house cleans — product choices, room priorities, and areas to skip carry forward automatically. Scope is confirmed before service.

In Mountain View, most move-outs end with a formal inspection scheduled by the apartment community, so the clean has to land between the movers and that appointment. This note covers the scheduling sequence we recommend and the full interior checklist we run, with inside cabinets, inside fridge, and ceiling fans bundled. The 24-hour touch-up window covers anything flagged at inspection.

The whole point of a move-out clean is passing the final walkthrough, so our Santa Clara checklist is built around appliance interiors, empty cabinets and drawers, and the edge details inspectors check. Inside cabinets, inside fridge, and ceiling fans are bundled by default, and the home should be empty of belongings before we arrive. Anything flagged afterward falls under our 24-hour touch-up window.

Bathrooms are where recurring cleaning earns its keep, because buildup compounds fastest there. This note explains the fixture-first order we use in Sunnyvale house cleans and which bathroom details rotate between visits versus every visit. Saved preferences keep the routine consistent.

Construction dust settles for days, so post-construction cleaning is about sequencing: top-down dusting first, detail work second, floors last. This note explains the pass order we use on San Jose remodels and why scope is confirmed on site before we start.
June 29, 2026
Move-out cleans are judged against a landlord walkthrough, so the checklist has to cover the items property managers actually inspect. This note lists what our San Jose move-out scope includes by default — inside cabinets, inside fridge, and ceiling fans are bundled. If something is flagged after the walkthrough, our 24-hour touch-up window covers it.
June 28, 2026
Walkthroughs follow a predictable order: kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures, then edges and interiors. Our Palo Alto move-out checklist works through those same priorities so nothing inspectable is skipped. Inside cabinets, inside fridge, and ceiling fans are bundled, the home should be empty before we arrive, and the 24-hour touch-up window backs the result.
June 28, 2026
A deep clean covers everything in a recurring clean plus the buildup items a maintenance visit doesn't reach: baseboards throughout, light fixtures, cabinet fronts, and bundled ceiling fans and inside refrigerator. This note maps the exact scope difference for Santa Clara homes, with detail add-ons selectable in the quote flow.
June 27, 2026
Recurring house cleaning works best when every visit follows the same room-by-room order and the details your home needs are saved, not re-explained. This note covers how we sequence a San Jose recurring clean and which items rotate between visits. Scope is confirmed before service, and preferences carry forward automatically.
June 26, 2026
Kitchens carry the most buildup in any home, so they get the largest share of deep-clean time. This note breaks down the kitchen scope of a Sunnyvale deep clean: inside refrigerator is bundled by default, cabinet fronts and the microwave interior are core scope, and inside oven is a selectable add-on.
