Service Areas
Every TotalCare Cleaning professional is background-checked and screened before their first job.
Coral Gables pairs one of the country's earliest planned cities and a deep historic register with modern condos and a major university, so its homes range from 1920s houses to new towers.
Key Biscayne is a village on Florida's southernmost barrier island, where most homes are condos in large buildings, a quarter are part-year homes and the original houses are 1950s cement block.
Miami Beach homes are mostly apartments and condos in larger buildings, many from the 1960s or the Art Deco era, in a city that describes itself as near sea level.
Pinecrest is a village of large, mostly owner-occupied ranch houses on generous lots, built largely in the 1950s and 1960s in a village that has planted more than 10,000 street trees.
Other places in the Miami area: Coconut Grove.
Local Guides
What a One-Time Deep Clean will do for a Miami condo or house: grout darkened by warm nights, pollen on fans and blinds, termite wings at the windows and older tile that needs a careful hand.
The checks worth making before anyone gets a key, a fob or a door code to your Miami home, from a Sunbiz search to the county consumer office, building access, seasonal keys and payment.
The Moving Clean for Miami rentals, condos and home sales, timed around Florida's deposit deadlines and the bulky pickup rules that differ between the county, Miami Beach and Key Biscayne.
How to choose weekly, bi-weekly or monthly visits for a Miami home using the city's real seasons: a dry spring heavy with pollen, a long wet summer and warm nights that keep bathrooms damp.
A month by month plan for Miami homes that follows the local year instead of a northern one: tree pollen early in the year, termite swarms in spring, a wet and dusty summer and a hurricane season that peaks in September.

Why Miami bathrooms, closets and air vents fight moisture all year, what the Florida Department of Health advises, and where routine cleaning ends and a mold professional begins.
What Miami area hosts and part-year owners should know before planning cleaning around guests: how Florida defines a vacation rental, the strict Miami Beach rule, and how seasonal units change the work.

Miami is a city of towers more than yards, and a city of renters more than owners. Around that core, Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Miami Beach and Key Biscayne each add a different kind of home, from historic houses to island condos.
This page explains how that housing mix and a subtropical climate shape the way a Miami home gets dirty, which service fits which home when TotalCare Cleaning comes to Miami, what each one will cost by home size, and where to find the local guides.
About 47.6 percent of the housing units in the City of Miami sit in buildings with 20 or more units, and only about 23 percent are single family detached houses. Two bedroom homes are the most common size, at close to four in ten units, and the median home has 3.8 rooms. A typical Miami clean is therefore a compact kitchen, one or two bathrooms, a lot of glass and a balcony or patio door that takes the weather.
The skyline hides how old much of the housing is. About 52 percent of the city's units were built before 1980, while about 17 percent date from 2010 or later. An older unit usually means worn grout, deep window tracks and fixtures that want a gentle hand. A newer tower unit means wide glass, stone counters and stainless steel that show every streak. The deep cleaning guide covers both.
If your building has rules for service visits, such as a check-in desk, a service elevator or set work hours, share them when you book so the first visit starts on time.
Miami International Airport normally collects about 67 inches of rain a year. Every month from May through October tops 6 inches, and June and September are the wettest at a little over 10 inches each. November through April are far drier, at roughly 1.8 to 3.5 inches a month. The wet half of the year means damp towels, wet shoes at the door and muddy paws on tile.
Spring belongs to pollen. University of Miami researchers who have tracked local pollen since 2018 find high levels from March through May, and live oaks, planted all over the city, are among the largest producers. In June and July, Saharan dust episodes reach South Florida, and rain that falls through the dust can leave cars dirty; balcony rails and outdoor furniture sit in the same rain.
The heat barely lets up. Normal summer lows stay near 76 to 77 degrees, and even January lows average about 61 degrees. The Florida Department of Health advises keeping indoor humidity below 60 percent, ideally below 50, to limit mold and dust mites, which is why a dry bathroom and clean air vents matter so much here. The seasonal cleaning calendar and the humidity and mildew guide go into detail.
Spring evenings bring termite swarms. UF/IFAS reports that Asian subterranean termites begin swarming in South Florida in early March at dusk, drawn to lights, and Formosan termites follow from late April into early May. Swarmers shed their wings, so windowsills and the floor under lamps collect them. Drywood termites leave frass that looks like coffee grounds, often near a windowsill. A cleaner can vacuum wings away, but frass that keeps coming back is worth showing to a pest professional first.
Mosquitoes follow the rain. Miami-Dade Mosquito Control asks residents to Drain and Cover standing water and warns that bromeliads can become breeding spots. Emptying plant saucers and outdoor pet bowls on cleaning day is an easy habit, and residents can request an inspection through 311.
TotalCare Cleaning will offer three services in Miami, each priced flat by bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage. A One-Time Deep Clean ($311.00 to $690.00) is the reset: baseboards washed by hand, blinds wet-wiped, window tracks and ceiling fans cleaned, light fixtures and vents wiped in place, cabinet fronts degreased, shower glass treated for water spots and faucets detailed. A Recurring House Clean keeps the home there on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly plan that starts with an Initial Deep Clean; bi-weekly care for a two bedroom home is $227.00 a visit. A Moving Clean covers an empty home and adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets.
About 69 percent of occupied homes in the City of Miami are rented, so the Moving Clean will be a big part of the work here. The move-out guide explains Florida's deposit deadlines, and the cost page has every price by home size.
Coral Gables incorporated in 1925 as one of the country's first planned communities, keeps more than 1,000 properties on its historic register, and about half of its homes are detached houses. See Coral Gables house cleaning.
Miami Beach counts more than 2,600 buildings in its historic districts, part of what the city calls the world's largest collection of Art Deco structures, and most of its homes sit in larger buildings. Its weather station records about 52 inches of rain a year, well under the airport total. See Miami Beach house cleaning.
Key Biscayne, Florida's southernmost barrier island, is mostly condos, with about three in four units in buildings of 20 or more. Pinecrest grew from 1950s and 1960s ranch houses on acre lots and has been a Tree City USA every year since it incorporated. See Key Biscayne house cleaning and Pinecrest house cleaning.
Coconut Grove, a neighborhood inside the City of Miami, is covered by this page and the city guides. It is home to The Barnacle, the 1891 house of pioneer Ralph Munroe, and to one of the last remnants of the old Miami Hammock, a tropical hardwood forest.
