Residential Cleanings

Our comprehensive residential cleaning services cater to every stage of home maintenance, ranging from standard, recurring upkeep to deep, restorative cleanings for heavily neglected or overwhelmed environments. We understand that each home requires a different set of needs, which is why we offer fully customizable service packages designed to align with your specific routine, budget, physical layout, and personal cleanliness priorities. By collaborating with you to establish a personalized checklist, our professional team ensures meticulous attention to detail, reliable consistency, and guaranteed satisfaction during every visit.

  • Our Maintenance cleaning package keeps your home consistently fresh, hygienic, and perfectly ordered. We focus on essential, surface-level maintenance to tackle everyday dirt, dust, and tidy-up needs. It is the ideal fit for busy families and professionals looking for regular weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly upkeep.

    • Sparkling Bathrooms: Standard sanitation of toilets, showers, tubs, sinks, and mirrors.

    • Tidy Kitchen: Countertops cleared and sanitized, sinks scrubbed, and appliance exteriors wiped down.

    • Fresh Floors & Surfaces: All reachable areas dusted, carpets vacuumed, and hard floors mopped.

    • Everyday Upkeep: Emptying trash bins, lining cans, and straightening up living spaces.

    This service takes between 3 and 5 hours, depending on size of home and amount of detail required. All services can be fully customized to fit the specific needs of your home.

  • Our Signature cleaning is our most popular, and it goes one step beyond a Maintenance cleaning to target hidden dust, stubborn grime, and neglected corners. It is the perfect choice for homes that haven't been professionally cleaned in over a month, or as a thorough first-time visit before transitioning into our standard recurring service.

    This service includes everything our Maintenance Service does, including:

    • Hand-Wiped Details: Wet-wiping of baseboards, window sills, door frames, and light switches.

    • Intense Bathroom Scrubbing: Soap scrum removal, full tub and shower deep clean.

      Note: tiled showers with grout lines require additional time to properly remove mold and soap scum—consider scheduling a separate maintenance cleaning for grout lines.

    • Thorough Kitchen Revival: Exterior grease removal from appliances, chrome and stainless steel polish, interior oven restoration.

    • Enhanced Dusting: dust removal from hanging light fixtures, ceiling fans, and other hard to reach areas.

    This service takes between 5 and 7 hours, depending on size of home and amount of detail required. All services can be fully customized to fit the specific needs of your home.

  • When standard maintenance or deep cleaning isn't quite enough, our enhanced cleaning steps in to handle heavy accumulation and total environmental resets. This option is specifically designed for homes transitioning through major life shifts—such as moving in or out, completing a renovation, preparing for a new baby, or recovering after months of neglected upkeep.

    This service includes everything our Maintenance and Signature cleaning does, including:

    • Complete Interior & Exterior Cabinets: Thorough dusting, degreasing & sanitizing.

    • Deep Appliance Restoration: Restoration of oven windows, sanitization of refrigerator and other small appliances.

    • Full-Wall & Trim Sanitizing: Meticulous hand-washing of baseboards, doors, door frames, and spot-cleaning scuffs off walls.

    • Home Fixtures: Detailed hand-cleaning of delicate light fixtures, ceiling fans, and internal window tracks.

    This service takes between 8 and 10 hours, depending on size of home and amount of detail required. All services can be fully customized to fit the specific needs of your home.

At Aura, organizing means maximizing efficiency, comfort, and peace of mind. With a fresh perspective, we bring balance and simplicity to cluttered areas in your home. Our decluttering, sorting, and re-arranging services are tailored to your specific needs—whether that involves managing high-volume paperwork, categorizing collections, consolidating excess items, or simply sorting laundry. We help you eliminate the stress of misplaced items and chaotic environments by creating intuitive, functional systems that make your space work for you.

Organization Services

Our Approach

Our signature approach to organization focuses on sustainability and maximizing the potential of what you already own. Before we ever suggest a trip to the store, we try to utilize existing storage bins and repurpose cherished items into functional systems.

Donation Drop Off

We prioritize impactful Portland organizations like Community Warehouse for furniture and household essentials, Free Geek for sustainable technology recycling, and The Arc Portland Metro to support neighbors with disabilities. By taking care of the donation process, we ensure your gently used goods find a purposeful new home while you enjoy the instant clarity of your newly organized home.
