Dirt Code Levels (1–11)
1. Immaculate – Does someone even live here?
2. Exceptional – Tidy & cleaned almost daily.
3. Good – Home is relatively clean. Dirt build-up is light surface level.
4. Marginal – Light buildup. Typically a home between biweekly cleanings.
5. Average – Lived in, air filters changed often, light soap scum.
Also includes: Marginal – Light buildup.
6. Moderate – Lived in with pets/kids, air filters changed often, moderate soap scum.
7. Fallen Behind – Build-up in bathrooms and kitchen, air filters changed late.
8. Challenging – What are air filters? Dust build-up is heavy on fans, bathrooms with soap scum, kitchen has heavy build-up. My dust has dust!
9. Extremely Challenging – You don’t know where to start and you just need help. Chores have fallen behind and a deep scrubbing is needed in 3/4 of the home.
10. Maximum Challenge – All areas of the home need intensive detailing. Dust falls right back onto surfaces and floors may need to be cleaned 2–3 times.
11. Out of Our Scope – Biohazard, pet waste, infestation, hoarder situations.
If we encounter any of these, we will not be able to clean for health and safety reasons.
