  • 5. How do you price your services?

    Pricing depends on the size of your space, how long it’s been since the last cleaning, and the level of detail required (maintenance vs deep clean). Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote, and we’ll tailor it to your needs.

  • 6. What payment methods do you accept?

    We accept a full range of payment options including credit/debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), CashApp, Venmo, Paypal, etc. \We do not accept cash, as we require a 50% deposit in order to reserve a spot on the schedule.

  • 7. What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

    We ask that any cancellations or schedule changes be made at least 48 business hours (Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM) in advance. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur a fee (or result in loss of deposit/credit) as outlined in our service policy. (Please refer to our “Policies” page for full details.)

  • 8. Do I need to supply cleaning products and equipment?

    No — we bring all the cleaning equipment and supplies required to perform your service. You’re welcome to request eco-friendly or specific products ahead of time if needed.

  • 9. Do you offer any discounts or special deals?

    Yes — we have special offers such as military discounts for initial cleanings, referral bonuses, and social media promotions. Be sure to ask when getting your quote! 

  • 10. What’s the difference between maintenance and deep cleaning?

    Deep cleaning goes far beyond the basics. In addition to everything included in a maintenance clean, we focus on deeper details like hand-wiping baseboards, scrubbing inside appliances (optional add-on), cleaning under furniture (where accessible), and giving extra attention to build up or overlooked areas. It’s perfect for seasonal deep cleans or first-time service.

  • 11. Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

    Not at all. Many clients provide access through a code or key. We’re happy to work around your schedule, and you can return to a fresh, clean home with zero hassle.
