The checklist
43 items, every visit, in writing

Why the list is public
A checklist you can read is a checklist you can check. Hold us to all 43 items, and text within 24 hours if one got skipped. The re-clean is free, and the item gets marked so it does not get skipped twice.
I want to recommend printing it for the first visit. Walk the home with the sheet after we leave, and you will know within ten minutes whether this company earns the second visit.
