One-time cleaning in DC
One Visit, No Account, No Plan
A standard cleaning is the service to book when you want your place cleaned once. The team takes care of the kitchen, the bathrooms and the common areas and leaves; nothing renews on its own. You book it with a family-owned company, not with a large chain or an app.
People search for this in many ways: maid service, housekeeping, apartment cleaning service, one-time cleaning, basic cleaning. The table below shows which TCS service matches each of those words.
If the place has not had a thorough cleaning in a long time, the deep cleaning is the better choice. The standard cleaning page describes this service in full.

What does “one-time cleaning” mean at TCS?
Short answer: A single cleaning visit, booked on its own, with no schedule or subscription attached.
At TCS it is the standard cleaning, done with products the team brings. You request a quote, choose a date, and that is the whole arrangement. If you want it again later, you ask again.
When is one visit not enough?
Short answer: When the place has buildup, or when you want it kept clean over time.
For buildup, the deep cleaning in Washington, DC is the right visit. For ongoing upkeep, regular cleaning in Washington, DC brings the team back weekly, biweekly or monthly, with a loyalty discount.
Does a studio in DC start at the same $160?
Short answer: Yes. A standard cleaning starts at $160 for any home, a studio included.
In a studio or a one-bedroom, that is worth knowing in advance. Tell the team what matters most to you, so the visit is planned around it. The pricing page explains how the starting price works.

What does the price of a one-time visit in the District include?
Short answer: The cleaning itself and the cleaning products. A one-time visit starts at $160, and the quote gives the price for your home.
The price pays for the cleaner’s work and for the cleaning products, which the team brings; if you prefer eco-friendly products, you can provide your own. TCS is insured and bonded, and its cleaners are background-checked. Your quote states the price before you decide.
How is a standard cleaning different from an Airbnb turnover?
Short answer: A standard cleaning is for a home you live in. A turnover prepares a rental for the next guest, with fresh linens, hotel-style beds, restocking and a damage report.
If you host in the District, the Airbnb cleaning page is the one to read. Turnovers receive a personalized quote.
How do I know the company is real?
Short answer: By checking what is public: 36 Google reviews, a named founder, and a team and a guarantee described on this site.
Start with the reviews page, then see who is on the team and what the guarantee says. TCS has been in business since 2010, is insured and bonded, and background-checks its cleaners.
Is Virginia covered?
