Our Cleaning Checklist
Take a look behind the scenes to see how we map out every sweep, scrub, and wipe.
You know how Mastermind Cleaning gets homes so perfectly clean? Those spotless spaces don’t just happen by chance, they’re a result of our team always starting with a clear, point-by-point plan. Our cleaners show up at your door with a checklist that covers all the essentials, the Mastermind Rotation tasks planned for your visit, and any extras you asked for. Then they tackle every chore with intent, care, and attention to detail. Below, you’ll find the exact checklists that guide each of our visits, so you always know just what to expect.
