How Long Does Residential Cleaning Take?

Total clean time can vary based on the number of rooms/areas, number of tasks, and type of cleaning (one-time, move-in/move-out, weekly) requested. We can provide a time quote once your job is scheduled.

Do I Need to Be Present During the Cleaning?

It’s up to you. We do most cleaning during business hours M-F, but can schedule other times as needed. You can provide us with a key or leave it in a designated spot for retrieval. Alarm systems can either be left off, or you can provide the entry/exit codes. Our top priority is to honor your privacy and security while leaving your residence spotless.

Do I Need to Provide Cleaning Supplies?

For your first cleaning or a one-time service, we bring all the necessary cleaning products at no extra charge. For recurring services, clients are responsible for providing cleaning products. If you’d like us to continue supplying the products, we can do so for a small additional supply fee.

Do You Offer Same-Day Service?

Absolutely! If you are in a jam and need immediate assistance to make your home presentable, call us, and we can schedule an emergency cleaning service for you.

What Type of Cleaning Products Do You Use?

As longtime cleaning experts, we always use the right cleaning product for the task at hand. Bathroom cleaners should not be used in the bedroom, and appliances should not be cleaned the same way as the sink! We have many products to choose from and ensure every detail of your home is attended to with precision, care, and expertise.

Are They Safe for Children And Pets?

Yes. We work with pet and kid-friendly products to protect your loved ones and ensure a clean home without drawbacks.
