The 77-Star Cleaning Checklist is Cura Maids' proprietary house cleaning checklist that details exactly 77 tasks our professional cleaners perform during every visit. It covers four main areas — kitchen (20 tasks), bathrooms (20 tasks), bedrooms (17 tasks), and living and common areas (20 tasks).

Unlike generic cleaning services that leave results up to individual cleaners, our checklist creates a consistent, accountable standard that ensures nothing gets missed — from disinfecting high-touch surfaces to wiping baseboards and removing cobwebs.

A Cura Maids professional cleaning checklist includes thorough cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting of every room in your home. In kitchens, this means countertops, stovetops, appliances, sinks, and floors. In bathrooms, we scrub tubs, toilets, tile grout, and shower doors. Bedrooms receive bed-making, dusting, and vacuuming. Living areas get furniture dusting, ceiling fan cleaning, and floor care.

Every clean also includes detail work that most services skip — baseboards, windowsills, door frames, switchplates, vents, and trash removal in every room. You can download the full checklist to see all 77 tasks.

A thorough 77-Star clean typically takes 2–4 hours depending on the size of your home, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the overall condition of the space. Smaller apartments may take closer to 2 hours, while larger homes with 4+ bedrooms may need 3–4 hours to complete every task on the checklist.

We never rush through the process — our cleaning standards require that every one of the 77 tasks is completed before our team leaves. For first-time or deep cleaning appointments, expect the visit to take slightly longer as we bring the home up to our baseline standard.

Yes — every Cura Maids service follows the 77-Star Cleaning Checklist, whether it's a recurring home cleaning, a one-time deep clean, an Airbnb turnover, or a move-in/move-out clean. The checklist is the backbone of our quality assurance process.

This is how we guarantee consistent results regardless of which team member cleans your home. It's also what supports our 100% satisfaction guarantee — if any task on the checklist is missed, we'll return and make it right at no extra charge.

The 77-Star Checklist serves as our standard cleaning baseline — every task is completed on every visit so you always know what to expect. However, we understand that every home is different, and we're happy to accommodate special requests on top of the standard checklist.

Common add-ons include inside-oven cleaning, inside-fridge cleaning, window washing, and laundry folding. Just let us know when you request your free estimate and we'll tailor the service to your needs.

We use eco-friendly, EPA-approved cleaning products that are safe for children, pets, and sensitive skin. Our solutions are fragrance-free and non-toxic — they clean thoroughly without leaving harsh chemical residues or irritating odors in your home.

This is especially important for Triangle-area families during pollen season, when indoor air quality matters most. All products and equipment are supplied by Cura Maids — you don't need to provide anything.

Most cleaning companies don't use a documented checklist — their results vary depending on who shows up. The 77-Star system creates accountability and consistency that's rare in the residential cleaning industry. Every cleaner is trained on the same room-by-room process before they ever enter a client's home.

Combined with our background-checked, insured teams, eco-friendly products, and 100% satisfaction guarantee, the 77-Star Checklist is why we've maintained a 4.9-star Google rating across 21,000+ customers since 2015. It's not just a list — it's our quality assurance system.
