What is the difference between Standard cleaning and Deep Cleaning?

Standard cleaning is for routine maintenance (dusting, mopping, surface cleaning). Deep Cleaning adds grout, baseboards, oven interior, and under furniture. Fridge interior, cabinet interiors, and interior windows are add-ons.

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

No, you do not need to be home. Most clients provide a key or door code. Our cleaners are fully background-checked and insured.

Are your cleaners insured and background-checked?

Yes, every cleaner is thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and highly trained. We carry comprehensive liability insurance and bonding.

Do you bring your own supplies and equipment?

Yes, we provide all of our own premium, eco-friendly cleaning supplies and professional equipment.

How do you handle pets in the home?

We love pets and use pet-safe products. If your pet is anxious around vacuums or strangers, we ask that they be secured during the cleaning.

What if I need to reschedule or skip a recurring cleaning?

You can skip or reschedule your cleaning at any time. We just require a 24-hour notice to avoid any cancellation fees.

Is there a contract for recurring Standard cleaning?

No, there are no long-term contracts. You can start, pause, or stop your recurring standard cleaning at any time.
