given the responses you've seen here, esp. from Dommes who have quite clearly stated that they would prefer their servant to NOT surprise them with the gestures you've mentioned, you did ask what else you could do to add those special touches.
Here are a few I can suggest from my experience--
1. Point tip the tp.
I know, it sounds silly, but making the little point on the toilet paper like you see in the hotels, gives it that little extra touch, and is a good reminder to you (esp. if the house has a lot of bathrooms/powder rooms) that you've completed that room, and it makes the bath seem fresh and new. If you use a commode while in their service, always replace the point.
2. Detailing
It's my personal belief, but I've always felt that the two rooms that must always be spotless are the kitchen and the bath. The kitchen--obviously--it's where food is prepared, and it's a health issue if nothing else. I consider the bath to be one of those places where the Dom/Domme spends a considerable amount of time in private, and having a spotless bathroom is ideal for relaxation.
So for that, I go the "extra mile" as you called it, when I clean the bath. I wipe down all of the bottles--shampoo, lotion, etc. which often get soapy/crusty/dusty. Use an old toothbrush from your kit to get the dirt/crust around the fixtures and in the corners, esp. around the drain and faucets. Clean everything--the soap dish, the toothbrush holder, every surface.
3. Bring your own supplies in a caddy if you aren't live in (or a regular).
Most Households I know don't rely exclusively on me for cleaning (except for one) and so it can be really annoying when they go to clean something, and you've used up all the supplies. (or vice versa) Just be sure to query them ahead of time to find out exactly what cleaning products they prefer (ie. green only, no bleach etc.), and any cleaning methods that they require.
4. Courtesy
Be sure to give your Households your availability schedule well in advance, and give them ample notice if you need to cancel. Punctuality is a must--find out how they prefer you notify them if you are to be late.
5. Floors
When I was trained professionally as a housecleaner many years ago, I was taught by my agency that the best way to clean floors was by hand, not by mop. This is completely true. If you have the luxury of time, do every hard surface floor by hand, with a fresh hot water pail for each room.
good luck--happy cleaning!
