Answer: No, it is never included
Explanation: I may recommend that the homeowners thoroughly clean the house during my initial consultation, and I can also recommend service providers for the homeowners if they don't want to clean or de-clutter the house themselves. Cleaning is not part of my staging services. The house is expected to be cleaned and prepped per my consultation recommendations prior to staging day.
