BAY SHORES CLEANING COMPANY
Recurring Cleaning Services in Midland, MI & Surrounding Areas
Your Hometown Cleaning Experts Since 2013!
Bay Shores Cleaning Company
After a long week at work, cleaning shouldn’t take up your evenings or Saturdays. At Bay Shores Cleaning Company, we provide weekly and biweekly recurring cleaning services in Midland, MI, and surrounding areas, including Freeland, Sanford, Auburn, Bay City, and nearby Midland County communities.
Every new client starts with a detailed, top-to-bottom cleaning that hits the reset button on your home. From there, the same trained team (whenever possible) returns on a set schedule so kitchens, bathrooms, floors, and living areas stay at the same standard; not “good this week, rushed next week.”
This is the service model founder Wendy Nellet built in northern Michigan through Harbor Shores Cleaning Company beginning in 2013. A Midland-area native, Wendy brought that same system home so you get documented preferences, background-checked technicians, licensed and insured work, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Recurring Cleaning vs. Deep Cleaning
Regular weekly or biweekly cleaning services help maintain your home at a consistent standard once the initial deep cleaning is complete. With a standing schedule, the same rooms are cleaned regularly: kitchens are sanitized, bathrooms are refreshed, floors are vacuumed and mopped, and dust is removed from visible surfaces. This ensures that your home remains well-maintained between visits. This is the ideal service when life in Midland is busy (holiday season, juggling school sports), allowing you to keep your home guest-ready without sacrificing your evenings and weekends.
Our deep cleaning services, or “top-to-bottom” clean, are the first step when your home needs more than typical maintenance. During these cleans, we take items off the counters, degrease cabinet fronts, work mineral film out of faucets and shower glass, hand-wash baseboards and register covers, and spend extra time on edges and high dust that a regular cleaning does not fully reach. Visits like this are helpful when you are new to us, moving in, returning from travel, preparing for guests, or when it has been a long time since a detailed cleaning was done.
Most clients begin with a thorough foundational deep cleaning, then transition to weekly or biweekly recurring visits. These recurring services help maintain the results but do not replace the need for an initial deep clean if issues like calcium buildup, iron stains, grease, or neglected corners have developed.
Please let us know the current condition of your home and how often you would like us to return. We will recommend the appropriate starting visit and a maintenance schedule that works for you.
How Our Recurring Cleaning Services Process Works
- Tell us about your home. Square footage, typical schedule, pets, problem areas, and must-do rooms.
- Our initial visit includes a comprehensive foundation cleaning. This thorough top-to-bottom service eliminates buildup, allowing subsequent maintenance visits to effectively maintain cleanliness without having to tackle months of accumulated dust.
- We write your preferences into a cleaning plan. You do not have to repeat instructions every time.
- Schedule weekly or biweekly services. We send the same team whenever possible. You do not have to be home; many clients leave secure access while at work.
- We provide supplies and equipment. Eco-friendly product options are available upon request.

What We Don’t Clean
We have instructed our teams to leave certain items untouched such as items or areas containing any body fluids, excretions, or litter boxes. If your pet has an accident or vomits, it will be your responsibility to clean it up. Our teams are advised to clean around these areas. Seasonal insect infestation can also be a problem and may prevent us from thoroughly cleaning your home. If ants, termites, roaches, fleas, etc., are encountered, we will not clean or vacuum the area. We will leave you a note or call you regarding the problem. We do not clean inside curio cabinets. If you have other items you prefer that we do not clean nor handle, please call the office, and we will arrange to avoid these items due to the fragile nature of ceiling light fixtures and light globes. Our staff cannot climb higher than a 2-step stool, work outside your home, move furniture or electronics, lift objects over 20 pounds, prepare meals, provide any pet or children-related services, or empty diaper pails.
