Critical Care Cleaning: Chattanooga homes cleaned to an ER nurse's standard.

Alex Tonsberg was an emergency room, trauma, critical care and Navy nurse before starting this business. Homes, rental turnovers and offices get the same eye, and an itemised invoice of everything cleaned.

From the owner

“Clean enough” just doesn't cut it.

I take cleanliness seriously, because when you've spent years as a nurse, that's the only standard there is. I cleaned everything from trauma bays to patient rooms, so the work I do for you doesn't faze me.

Rounds

Every clean is walked like rounds, then charted.

Nobody on a ward skips a bed because it looks fine from the doorway. A Critical Care Cleaning appointment works through the house station by station, with a deep clean in mind every time, and the invoice records what was done.

Each invoice gives a detailed outline of what was cleaned, so over a few visits you can see which areas need cleaning more often.

How much does a move-out or real estate clean cost?

From $450 a unit up to 2,000 square feet, with the microwave, ceiling fans, light fixtures, baseboards and window sills included. Homes and businesses are priced after a free consultation, based on the rooms and what has to be moved or cleaned around.

What people ask Alex first

Prices, what's included, what isn't, and how long a first clean takes. Anything else, call (423) 596-7632 or send an email.

Real estate, move-in, move-out and post-construction cleans start at $450 per unit for units of 2,000 square feet or less. For anything larger, call or email Alex to schedule. Refrigerator, range and cabinet or drawer interiors and exteriors are priced separately, because their condition and the time they take varies.

The microwave, ceiling fans, light fixtures and light covers (on ceilings no higher than 8 feet), baseboards and window sills are all complimentary.

Blinds, windows, porches and patios, hauling and disposal of large furniture, hauling and disposal of trash, and carpet cleaning other than vacuuming are not part of any contracted service.

Every appointment is done with a deep clean goal in mind, so the first visit can take up to two hours longer than repeat appointments while the buildup throughout the house is dealt with.

No. All cleaning products and equipment are supplied.

Consultations are free. The estimate is based on the areas that need cleaning and the amount of furniture that has to be moved (depending on size) or cleaned around. Refrigerator, dishwasher and range interiors can be added to an appointment and take extra time.

Each invoice gives a detailed outline of what was cleaned at that appointment, so you can track the areas that may need cleaning more often.
