Two kinds of Lakeway homes, one checklist
Some Lakeway homes are lived in every day, with kids heading to Lake Travis ISD schools and dogs walked past the deer on Lohmans Crossing. Others are weekend and holiday houses that need to be ready without anyone driving out to check. A recurring General Clean handles both, on the schedule that fits.
- Full-time homes: weekly or every two weeks keeps floors, kitchens and baths steady through lake season, when traffic in and out of the house never stops.
- Lake houses and second homes: a monthly visit dusts, sanitizes the kitchen and baths and makes the beds with our Hotel Finish, so it is ready when you are.
- Homes you rent out: if check-out days are predictable, a recurring slot can be lined up with them. Call us to talk through timing.
Recurring visits save 20% weekly, 15% every two weeks or 10% monthly. The first visit is at full price and the discount applies to the visits after it.
What is included
Every General Clean follows the same published checklist:
- High-reach dusting: cobwebs, top of fridge, ceiling fan and vents
- Counters and backsplashes wiped and steam-cleaned
- Sink scrubbed and sanitized, faucet polished
- Microwave cleaned inside and out
- Stovetop and control knobs wiped and degreased
- Mirrors and glass polished; sink, vanity and chrome fixtures cleaned
- Toilet cleaned inside and out, base and behind
- Shower or tub basin and walls scrubbed
- Flat surfaces dusted, beds made with our Hotel Finish
- Trash emptied, liners replaced, bins cleaned
- Rugs and carpets HEPA-vacuumed, hard floors mopped (neutral-pH, pet-safe)
- Kitchen and baths sanitized with hypochlorous acid, then a final walk-through

Add-ons and what is not included
A General Clean is upkeep, so some detail work is left to the Deep Clean or added when you book: baseboards and detail dusting (+$30), interior windows (+$8 per window), inside the oven (+$40), inside the fridge (+$30) and inside the dishwasher (+$25). Pets are +$35 each. No service includes wall washing, washing dishes, or moving furniture or appliances over 25 lbs.
Getting started
If the house has been closed for a while or just came through a busy summer, start with a Deep Clean in Lakeway and keep it there with a recurring General Clean.
Recurring cleaning in Lakeway: questions
Does a monthly clean make sense for a lake house?
For a house that is used on weekends and holidays, yes. Monthly saves 10% after the first visit and keeps dust, pollen and bathrooms from building up between stays. Weekly (20% off) and every two weeks (15% off) suit full-time homes.
Can the visit be on the same day each time?
Recurring visits are scheduled on a set rhythm, Monday to Saturday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, and every confirmation includes a link to reschedule if a week does not work.
Are your floor products safe for dogs?
Floors are mopped with a neutral-pH solution chosen for homes with pets, and nothing is added for fragrance. Tell us where your pets will be during the visit. Every product is listed at thesageessence.com/what-we-use.
