Looking for a reliable cleaning service?
Types of Apartment Cleaning Services We Offer in Sarasota
01. Regular Apartment Cleaning (Weekly/Bi-Weekly)
Keep your apartment consistently tidy with our routine cleaning service. This option is ideal for maintaining a clean living space all year round without the stress. We’ll come on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule to tackle the usual build-up of dust and dirt so you always have a neat home.
What’s included: Every regular visit covers all the basics – surface dusting and wiping throughout the apartment, kitchen cleaning (counters, appliance exteriors, sink), bathroom sanitizing (toilet, shower, sink, fixtures), vacuuming carpets and rugs, mopping hard floors, emptying trash, and general tidying of living and sleeping areas.
Perfect for:
Busy professionals or small families who don’t have time for daily cleaning
Pet owners who need pet hair kept under control
Seniors or anyone who needs an extra hand with household chores
Seasonal residents (snowbirds) who want their condo maintained while they’re away
Anyone looking to prevent dirt and grime from building up over time
Sarasota advantage: Regular cleaning in our Gulf Coast climate prevents the gradual accumulation of salt air residue and beach sand that can find its way even into apartments. By staying on top of the cleaning, you keep your Sarasota or Bradenton home feeling fresh and avoid the need for frequent deep cleans.
02. Deep Apartment Cleaning Services
Give your apartment a top-to-bottom refresh with our intensive deep cleaning. Our apartment deep cleaning services go beyond the standard checklist to target all the hidden, tricky, and long-neglected spots in your home. This thorough service is like hitting the reset button on cleanliness – perfect for special occasions or just a seasonal heavy clean.
What’s included (in addition to all regular cleaning tasks):
Scrubbing baseboards, door frames, and molding throughout the apartment
Cleaning inside kitchen cabinets, drawers, and pantry shelves
Deep degreasing of the oven, stovetop, and microwave interior
Wiping out the inside of the refrigerator (upon request)
Washing interior windows and glass doors
Dusting and wiping ceiling fans, air vents, and light fixtures
Cleaning behind and underneath furniture and appliances
Thorough grout cleaning and disinfecting in bathrooms and kitchen
Removing built-up limescale, soap scum, and mildew from tiles and glass
When do you need a deep clean?
When moving into a new apartment – ensure it’s truly clean before you settle in
When moving out of your apartment – help secure your security deposit by leaving it spotless
Seasonal cleanups like spring cleaning or after Sarasota’s humid summer, to get rid of any mold or musty smells
Post-renovation or after a big event in your apartment (we’ll clear that construction dust or party mess)
If it’s been a long time since a thorough cleaning and regular upkeep isn’t enough
After Florida’s hurricane season – a deep clean helps remove any dust or residue that may have snuck in during storms
Sarasota consideration: In our humid climate, deep cleaning is especially important a couple of times a year. It helps prevent mold growth and keeps allergens at bay. Many clients schedule a deep clean at the end of summer (after the peak humidity) and another in spring. It’s also a great idea to get a deep clean if your apartment has been closed up for a while – we’ll make it feel brand new again.
03. Move-In/Move-Out Apartment Cleaning
Changing apartments? Let us handle the heavy cleaning so you can focus on the move. Moving is stressful enough without worrying about scrubbing the old place or sanitizing the new one. Our move-in/move-out apartment cleaning services are specialized for these transition times, ensuring everything is fresh and detailed.
Move-Out Cleaning – When you’re moving out of an apartment, the goal is to leave it immaculate. We perform all the deep cleaning tasks to impress landlords and help you get your security deposit back. This includes: cleaning inside all kitchen cabinets, drawers, and closets; deep cleaning kitchen appliances inside and out; washing baseboards and walls to remove scuffs or marks; cleaning bathroom vents and fixtures thoroughly; and making sure every corner from the entryway to the balcony is dirt-free. We essentially prepare the apartment for its next occupant or any move-out inspection.
Move-In Cleaning – Moving into a new apartment in Sarasota or Bradenton? Start off right with a professionally cleaned space. We sanitize all surfaces before you bring in your belongings – disinfecting kitchen counters, cabinets, and the fridge; deep cleaning bathrooms (toilet, shower, tub, vanity); wiping inside closets and drawers; and vacuuming/mopping every floor. You’ll be able to unpack into a home that feels truly clean and ready for you. If the last tenant left any surprises (like hidden dust bunnies or a greasy oven), we’ll take care of it.
For Sarasota property managers & landlords: We also coordinate with property managers for turnover cleanings. If you manage an apartment complex or rental property, our move-in/move-out service can be scheduled quickly between tenants to get the unit in tip-top shape. We understand the turnaround pressures and have a checklist to meet common lease requirements. Same-day service is available in many cases to accommodate tight moving timelines.
04. Specialized Apartment Cleaning Services in Sarasota
Not every cleaning need fits neatly into a weekly or monthly schedule. That’s why we offer additional specialized apartment cleaning services for those unique situations or requirements:
Apartment Building Common Area Cleaning: We don’t just clean individual units – we also keep apartment buildings clean. If you’re a building owner or HOA member, we can provide cleaning for lobbies, hallways, elevators, stairwells, mailrooms, and other shared facilities. A clean building makes a great impression on current and prospective residents. We can set up routine schedules (for example, lobby touch-ups every morning, or a deep clean of all common areas each week). Our team works efficiently to maintain these high-traffic areas without disrupting residents’ daily routines.
Post-Construction Apartment Cleaning: Had a renovation or just finished new construction on a unit? Construction and remodeling can leave behind fine dust on every surface, plus paint splatters or stray debris. Our team is experienced in post-construction cleaning for apartments – we will remove all the drywall dust, wipe down walls, polish fixtures, vacuum vents, and make the place move-in ready. We use specialized equipment like HEPA-filter vacuums to capture the tiny particles construction leaves behind, ensuring your new or newly renovated apartment is spotless and safe to occupy.
Vacation Rental & Airbnb Apartment Cleaning: Do you rent out your condo or apartment on Airbnb or VRBO? We offer fast, reliable turnaround cleaning for vacation rentals in the Sarasota area. This includes hotel-like service: changing bed linens, replenishing basic supplies (if provided), meticulous bathroom and kitchen cleaning, and resetting the property so it’s ready for the next guest. We understand that timeliness and consistency are key – we’ll have your place cleaned on schedule between check-out and check-in times, and we can alert you to any issues we spot (like a maintenance problem or damage) so you stay informed.
Seasonal Apartment Maintenance: If you’re a seasonal resident with a local apartment or condo, we can help maintain your home while you’re away and prepare it for your arrival. Our seasonal services can include things like a pre-arrival deep clean so you return to a fresh home free of dust (which can accumulate even in unused spaces), periodic check-ins/cleanings during long absences to prevent mildew or musty odors in our humid climate, and a post-departure clean after you head north for the summer. We take care of your apartment as if it were our own, so you always come back to a clean, welcoming space.
Hurricane Prep & Post-Storm Cleanup: Hurricanes and tropical storms are a fact of life in Southwest Florida. When a storm is on the way, we can assist in storm-prep cleaning – for example, helping bring outdoor items inside from a balcony, securing breakables, and giving your apartment a quick clean in case you’ll be stuck inside for a few days. After the storm has passed, we offer post-storm cleanup to remove any dirt, leaves, or water that might have blown in. We’ll check for any leaks or water intrusion and clean those areas, sanitize surfaces (important if there were power outages), and get your home back to normal. While we hope you won’t need this service often, it’s good to know we’re here if you do.
Our Apartment Cleaning Process in Sarasota
Step 1: Free On-Site Assessment & Custom Quote
We start by understanding exactly what you need. We can arrange a free on-site walkthrough of your apartment (or a detailed phone consultation if you prefer) to discuss your priorities and evaluate your space.
During this assessment, we’ll review each room’s condition and any specific challenges (for instance, a glass shower with water spots or a delicate hardwood floor that needs special care).
We’ll talk about your desired timeline and cleaning frequency and answer all your questions.
By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of what we recommend and a transparent quote in hand — no surprises later.
We Assess:
• Square footage & layout of your apartment
• Your home’s current cleanliness level
• Special surfaces or materials (marble, granite, stainless steel, glass, hardwood, etc.)
• Pet presence or allergy concerns
• Access details (gate codes, concierge, keypad entry, etc.)
• Scheduling preferences (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or one-time service)
Step 2: Customized Cleaning Plan Development
Your Plan Includes:
• A room-by-room cleaning checklist covering all your spaces (kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, balconies, etc.)
• Emphasis on your priority areas (for example, bathroom sparkle or extra attention to pet hair on the couch) and any special requests
• Recommended cleaning frequency (one-time, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly – whichever suits you)
• Your choice of cleaning products (our standard eco-friendly products or any specific products you prefer)
• Instructions for accessing your building/unit (e.g., “security will let us in” or key pick-up arrangements)
• Communication preferences (text or email reminders before each visit)
This custom plan ensures that our team is on the same page with you every time we clean, and nothing important to you gets missed.
Step 3: Professional Cleaning Service Delivery
Your Plan Includes:
• A clear room-by-room checklist for kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas
• Focus on your priority zones (bathroom shine, pet hair removal, etc.)
• Suggested cleaning frequency: one-time, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly
• Your choice of cleaning products — eco-friendly or specific items you prefer
• Instructions for building or unit access (gate codes, concierge, keys)
• Notification preferences such as text or email reminders before visits
This customized plan keeps our team aligned with your expectations every time we clean.
Step 4: Quality Control Inspection
Our Inspection Includes:
• Reviewing each room with our checklist to confirm all tasks are done
• Running a clean white cloth over high surfaces to ensure no dust remains
• Checking mirrors and glass from multiple angles for streak-free clarity
• Inspecting floors, corners, and under furniture for missed debris
• Taking out trash and replacing liners in all bins
• Polishing any fixtures or appliances that still need a final touch
• Verifying that all your special requests were completed
If something isn’t perfect, we fix it immediately — our goal is for you to walk in and feel truly delighted with the results.
Step 5: Client Walkthrough & Satisfaction Confirmation
If you’re not home during service, no problem — we follow up by message or call to confirm everything looks perfect once you return.
Our Guarantee: Your satisfaction is our priority. If anything was missed or not up to your expectations, just let us know within 24 hours. We’ll return within a day to make it right — no charge, no stress. We also check in after your first cleaning and periodically afterward to ensure our service continues to meet your standards. We aim to become the cleaning team you trust for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions About Apartment Cleaning Services in Sarasota
How much do apartment cleaning services cost in Sarasota, FL?
Apartment cleaning services in Sarasota typically range from around $100 to $250 or more, depending on your apartment’s size, condition, and the specific services you need. For example, a standard cleaning for a small one-bedroom apartment might cost about $100-$150, while a larger 2-3 bedroom apartment or a one-time deep cleaning could be $200+. Sarasota apartment cleaning pricing factors include square footage, the number of bathrooms, whether it’s a one-time service or recurring, and any add-ons like cleaning inside appliances or interior windows. DS Cleaning provides free, no-obligation quotes with transparent pricing – no hidden fees or surprises. We strive to offer fair, affordable rates that deliver great value. (So even if you’re looking for cheap apartment cleaning services near me, you’ll find our quality of service well worth the price.)
How often should I schedule professional apartment cleaning in Sarasota?
Most of our Sarasota clients find that a bi-weekly cleaning (every two weeks) keeps their apartments consistently clean without much effort on their part. If you have a very busy household, young kids, or multiple pets, you might prefer weekly cleanings to stay on top of things. On the other hand, if you’re a single person or a couple and you tend to keep things fairly tidy, you might only need a monthly cleaning supplemented by a little light upkeep in between. It really depends on your lifestyle and standards. Keep in mind that our coastal Florida environment brings extra dust and humidity; regular cleaning (at least bi-weekly or monthly) helps prevent issues like mildew or sand buildup. We’re happy to recommend a schedule after seeing your place – but ultimately, the frequency is up to you. We can be as flexible as you need, whether that’s weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or on-call for the occasional deep clean.
Do I need to be home during the apartment cleaning service?
No, you do not need to be home while we clean. In fact, many of our clients love coming back to a freshly cleaned apartment after being out for work or errands. You can absolutely trust our team in your home. We are fully bonded and insured, and every cleaner has passed a background check. We routinely clean apartments while residents are away – you can provide us with a spare key, building access code, or arrange entry through your leasing office/concierge. We keep your keys and access information secure. If you work from home or just feel more comfortable being present, that’s perfectly fine too! Our cleaners are respectful and will work around you without disrupting your day. Ultimately, it’s about what makes you most comfortable. We have clients who give us instructions and go enjoy their day, and others who stay and perhaps work in another room – either way, we’re used to it.
What’s the difference between a standard cleaning and a deep cleaning for apartments?
A standard apartment cleaning (like our regular service) focuses on the typical maintenance tasks needed to keep your home looking neat and tidy. This includes things like dusting surfaces, wiping down the outside of appliances and cabinets, cleaning the bathroom (toilet, shower, sink, mirror), vacuuming or sweeping/mopping floors, and generally tidying up each room. It’s the kind of cleaning you might do on a weekly basis to keep the place presentable.
A deep cleaning, on the other hand, is much more thorough. Apartment deep cleaning services include all the standard tasks plus a lot of attention to areas that accumulate grime over time. In a deep clean, we clean inside things – for example, scrubbing inside the oven and microwave, cleaning the inside of your fridge (if requested), wiping inside cabinets and drawers. We also tackle details like baseboards, door frames, window sills, blinds, and shower grout. Essentially, deep cleaning gets to all the spots that aren’t cleaned during lighter routine cleanings. It’s more time-intensive and leaves your apartment as close to 100% immaculate as possible. We usually recommend starting service with a deep clean if you haven’t had one in a while, and then you can maintain with regular cleanings. Think of regular cleaning as keeping it clean, and deep cleaning as getting it truly full-detail clean.
Are your cleaning products safe for children, pets, and the environment?
Yes – the health and safety of our clients (and their little ones, furry friends, and the planet) is very important to us. We use eco-friendly cleaning products that are proven to be effective without harsh chemicals. That means no strong chemical fumes lingering in your home and no abrasive cleaners that could damage surfaces. Our standard supplies are kid-safe and pet-safe; for instance, our floor cleaners won’t leave residues that could harm a crawling baby or a curious cat. We also avoid products with irritants or strong artificial fragrances. If you have any specific sensitivities or preferences (say, you want only unscented products, or you love a particular brand), just let us know. We can accommodate green cleaning requests easily – in fact, many Sarasota clients specifically choose us because we offer natural cleaning options. Rest assured, a clean apartment with DS Cleaning is not only visibly clean but also a healthier environment for you and your family.
Do you bring your own cleaning supplies and equipment?
Absolutely. We arrive with everything needed to get the job done right. Our team brings professional-grade vacuums (with HEPA filters to trap dust and allergens), mops, buckets, microfiber cloths, dusters – you name it. We also supply all the cleaning solutions, from glass cleaner and disinfectant to wood polish and tile cleaner, chosen for high quality and safety. You don’t have to worry about providing any supplies or tools. (In fact, many apartment dwellers love that they don’t need to store a bulky vacuum or a bunch of cleaning chemicals – we take care of all that for you.) If you have a special piece of equipment in your apartment building (for example, some buildings have a garbage chute that might need a specific key or a special polish for a unique fixture), just let us know and we’ll work with it. And if you prefer we use a particular product of yours, we’re happy to. But otherwise, just sit back and know that we’ll show up fully equipped to leave your apartment sparkling.
How should I prepare my apartment before a cleaning service?
The short answer is: you don’t have to clean before we clean! But doing a few small things can help us be more efficient and focus on the deep cleaning rather than tidying. Here are our suggestions:
Pick up clutter: If you can, put away items like toys, clothes, or papers that might be scattered around. When surfaces and floors are clear, we can clean them more thoroughly (and nothing gets misplaced).
Secure valuables or delicate items: We handle everything with care, but it’s wise to tuck away jewelry, important documents, or fragile collectibles in a safe spot just for peace of mind.
Pet arrangements: If you have pets, it’s helpful to let us know their names and behaviors. Maybe put dogs in a crate or a separate room, or let us know to be careful not to let the cat out. We love pets, but we want to make sure they stay safe and not stressed while we work.
Provide access: Ensure we know how we’re getting in – for example, confirm that the building concierge will let us up, or provide a gate code, or leave a key with a neighbor. This way, your cleaning appointment starts on time and we’re not stuck outside trying to reach you.
No need to do any cleaning: Really! Don’t waste your time pre-cleaning the bathroom or washing the dishes – that’s why you hired us. We’ve had clients apologize for the mess, but honestly, we’ve seen it all and nothing surprises us. We’re excited to give you a beautifully clean home, no matter how it looks when we arrive.
These prep tips are 100% optional, but they can make your service even more efficient. If you don’t have time to do anything, it’s okay – we’ll still do a fantastic job. Our team is used to organizing a bit as we go.
Do you offer apartment building cleaning services for common areas?
Yes, we do! In addition to individual apartment cleanings, DS Cleaning offers apartment building cleaning services for common areas in Sarasota and the surrounding region. We work with many property managers and homeowner associations who want their building’s shared spaces to be as clean as the apartments themselves. This service covers areas like the main lobby, hallways on each floor, elevators, stairwells, fitness rooms, laundry rooms, clubhouse or community rooms, and even exterior entryways. Essentially, if tenants or guests use it, we can keep it clean and inviting.
We can tailor the schedule and scope to the building’s needs. For example, a luxury condo building downtown might want a light cleaning of the lobby daily (vacuuming the entrance, wiping down elevators and glass doors) and a more detailed cleaning weekly. A smaller apartment complex in Bradenton might schedule a thorough hallway and stairwell cleaning once a week. We’re flexible and can scale our team for anything from a two-floor apartment building to a high-rise. By maintaining common areas, you not only keep residents happy but also protect the property’s value and appearance. If you’re a building owner or manager interested in common area cleaning, we’d be glad to meet and provide a quote specific to your property.
