The oven and refrigerator can be the jobs you keep moving to another weekend. They are useful appliances, they are used often, and cleaning their interiors takes more planning than wiping the front.
If you would like to hand over that work, start by naming the appliances and the parts you want cleaned. It makes the estimate much more useful.
Know which service you are comparing
Our Galley appliance cleaning page describes the current options. Galley Mini includes one oven interior, one refrigerator interior with its top and exterior, and one freezer compartment. Galley Full adds the agreed stovetop, dishwasher, washer and dryer detail.
Deep Horizon has a different scope. Its stated package includes one oven interior and one refrigerator interior, while freezer cleaning and other additions are discussed separately. The Deep Horizon page explains that package in full.
This is why the service name alone is not enough. Ask which appliances, interiors and accessible details are included in your estimate.
Plan for the food before the refrigerator is opened
Discuss who will handle food and how it will be kept appropriately cold while the work takes place. Food handling and preparation arrangements should be agreed beforehand, including any separate work requested.
Mention fragile shelves, damaged drawers, unusual fittings or manufacturer care instructions. A refrigerator that looks similar from the outside can have very different components inside.
There is no need to rush through food decisions while someone is waiting to clean.
Keep cleaning and mechanical work distinct
Appliance detail cleaning is not repair, dismantling or dryer vent service. Access around an appliance also needs consideration. Do not assume that a built in unit, heavy appliance or connected component will be moved as part of the visit.
Our gallery includes a real stove detail comparison. It shows buildup removed from a particular accessible area. Your appliance and its safe access will determine the work that makes sense for it.
Describe the result you want
You might want the oven interior ready for the cooking you enjoy, or the refrigerator shelves and drawers given careful attention. Tell me which matters most and whether you want appliance work on its own or as part of a larger clean.
Request an estimate with the appliances and intended scope. We can talk through the details before you set aside the time.
A small thing to try
List each appliance and whether you want its interior, exterior or both included.
