Regular maintenance of a luxury residence: far more than cleaning
Owning an exceptional residence in Paris comes with a daily responsibility: maintaining a constant level of perfection, invisible to the inhabitants yet perceptible in every detail. A luxury interior does not tolerate approximation. Dust on a marquetry console, a dull reflection on a marble worktop, an unsightly crease on a linen bedspread -- every imperfection, however minute, disrupts the harmony of the whole.
Lemon Soap offers a regular maintenance service conceived as a genuine hotel-at-home contract. Our approach goes beyond traditional cleaning to offer a comprehensive management of your residence's atmosphere and comfort. A dedicated housekeeper, trained to your habits and standards, becomes the silent guardian of your art of living.
The dedicated housekeeper: your privileged point of contact
At the heart of our service lies the relationship of trust between you and your housekeeper. Each client benefits from a dedicated professional, selected for her experience in maintaining prestigious properties and her ability to adapt to a particular household's codes. During the first weeks, the housekeeper takes the time to understand your lifestyle, your preferences regarding products, ambient fragrances, storage and domestic organisation.
This gradual immersion allows us to establish a truly bespoke maintenance protocol, recorded in a house book that details the care to be given to each room, each surface, and each object. This document becomes the reference that guarantees flawless continuity of service, even when the housekeeper is temporarily replaced by her deputy, who is also trained in your residence's specifics.
Personalised protocols: room by room
Reception rooms
Lounges, dining rooms and libraries receive meticulous care at each visit: dusting of furniture and decorative objects, vacuuming of rugs and carpets with adjusted suction settings, cleaning of glass surfaces and mirrors, waxing of woodwork, leather care. Cushions are plumped, throws readjusted, magazines and books realigned. Each room is left in a state of visual perfection.
Bedrooms and suites
The bed is made according to the hotel protocol of your choice: crisp folds, symmetrical turndown, pillows placed with precision. Bed linens are changed at the agreed frequency -- twice weekly for sheets, daily for bath towels. Dressings rooms are organised and garments arranged according to your habits. Nightstands are cleaned and water carafes refreshed.
Bathrooms
Every bathroom is thoroughly cleaned and sanitised: taps polished, spotless mirrors, crystal-clear shower screens, impeccable grouting. Toiletries are restocked, towels carefully folded, and bath mats changed. Marble and natural stone surfaces receive a specific treatment that preserves their lustre.
Kitchens
Worktops are cleaned and sanitised with products suited to their material -- granite, marble, stainless steel or Corian. Appliances are maintained inside and out. The refrigerator is checked and reorganised, expired items removed. Floors are washed and cupboards kept in perfect order.
Household linen management
Linens are one of the most immediate markers of a residence's comfort level. Lemon Soap handles your complete linen management: sorting, washing, ironing, folding and arranging according to your preferences. We work with the most reputable laundries in Paris for delicate items -- silk sheets, antique linen tablecloths, embroidered towels. Seasonal linen rotation is organised: lightweight duvets in spring, thick down in winter, cashmere throws laid out at the first chill.
Ambient fragrance curation
Scent is the sense of memory. The fragrance that greets residents and their guests contributes powerfully to a home's identity. Our housekeeper manages the diffusion of ambient fragrances according to your preferences: scented candles lit before your return, diffusers refilled, lavender sachets renewed in wardrobes, pillow mist sprayed on bed linens. We work with the most prestigious perfume houses to select essences that match the desired atmosphere.

Intervention packages: weekly, fortnightly or monthly
We offer three intervention rhythms adapted to your occupancy and standards. Weekly maintenance suits primary residences occupied daily. The fortnightly package is ideal for Parisian secondary residences or part-time apartments. Monthly maintenance is designed for owners who prefer a thorough monthly deep clean complemented by on-demand spot services. Each package is flexible and can be adjusted as your needs evolve, with just fifteen days' notice.
The trial period: four weeks to convince you
We are convinced that the quality of our service speaks for itself. That is why we offer a four-week trial period with no contractual commitment. During this period, your dedicated housekeeper works at the agreed rhythm, refines the protocols and absorbs your habits. At the end of these four weeks, we conduct a joint review to fine-tune the service and formalise the contract on terms that suit you perfectly.
