Services
One-time Residential Cleaning
Our one-time residential cleaning service provides comprehensive deep cleaning for homes needing intensive attention. We focus on high-traffic areas including bathrooms, kitchens, and floors while offering light cleaning for living spaces and bedrooms. This service is ideal for pre-event preparations, post-party cleanups, or seasonal resets. Our team brings necessary supplies and offers optional add-ons like refrigerator interior cleaning and shower glass deep cleaning to meet specific needs.
Recurring Residential Cleaning
Designed for busy homeowners, our recurring residential cleaning maintains consistent cleanliness through scheduled weekly, biweekly, or monthly visits. Clients receive priority scheduling and consistent cleaning technicians who learn their preferences over time. We offer flexible service adjustments to accommodate budget constraints while maintaining quality standards. This service includes kitchen and bathroom cleaning, floor maintenance, and light dusting, with options for deep cleaning add-ons during specific visits.
HOA and Common Areas
We specialize in maintaining common areas for multi-unit buildings including stairwells, hallways, and entryways. Our service includes regular dusting, vacuuming, and sanitizing of high-traffic zones while respecting resident privacy. We provide key access solutions for unoccupied buildings and offer transparent invoicing for HOA boards. Our team ensures safe, welcoming environments through consistent cleaning schedules tailored to building management needs.
Short-term Rentals
Our short-term rental cleaning service ensures vacation properties remain guest-ready between stays. We handle complete turnovers including linen changes, appliance cleaning, and restocking essentials. With a large team available for last-minute bookings, we maintain consistent standards across multiple properties. Our service includes detailed cleaning of kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas while accommodating specific host requirements through documented notes for each property.
Move In/Move Out Cleaning
We provide thorough move-in and move-out cleaning services for tenants and landlords. Our deep cleaning covers appliances, surfaces, cabinets, and floors to ensure spaces are pristine for new occupants. The service includes refrigerator and oven cleaning, baseboard wiping, and debris removal. We coordinate access through lockboxes or key exchanges and recommend early booking during peak month-end periods to guarantee availability for these time-intensive cleanings.
