Apartment pricing should account for bathroom count, elevator or stair access, entry floors, pet hair, appliance add-ons, and whether the visit is tied to a lease or guest deadline. The best preparation is clearing counters, naming building access details, separating pets, and deciding whether fridge, oven, cabinets, or interior windows should be quoted. A useful estimate should leave the customer knowing what is included, what is quoted separately, and what information the cleaner needs before arrival.
