After our initial consultation, we'‘ll set a date and time for your cleaning. Most cleanings can be completed with one cleaner. We show up ready to clean, with all equipment, materials and cleaning products needed. If you prefer we use your supplies or equipment, we are happy to do so. We can clean your entire home, or we can focus on specific areas of your home that are priority for you. Typically, most cleanings take four to six hours. For deeper cleanings, larger homes, homes with a lot of activity and/or homes with pets, the cleaning may take longer. While we cannot give exact estimates prior to cleaning your home, please inquire for more information on what to expect in terms of time length and scheduling.
Please see the description of our services for information on what’s included with Standard Cleaning and Deep Cleaning. Typically, the first few cleanings are deep cleanings, with a focus on specific areas of the home each time. Deep Cleanings take longer, as there is more time and labor required in addressing deeper cleaning issues. After the initial Deep Cleanings, subsequent visits typically take less time. Often, after the cleaning duration becomes consistent, we can agree on a flat rate going forward. This simplifies the billing process, especially for regularly scheduled weekly or biweekly cleanings.
For weekly and biweekly clients, or homes that are cleaned on a regular basis, Standard Cleaning is often enough to maintain the home. For new clients, we reccommend Deep Cleaning until the tougher cleaning issues are resolved.

We charge hourly for our residential cleaning services. For Standard Cleaning, we charge $50 per hour per cleaner, and for Deep Cleaning we charge $60 per hour per cleaner. We may accept other cleaning jobs that don’t fit these categories. Our rate includes all supplies, products and equipment.
You might find that our costs are comparable or even lower than that of other residential cleaning services. We intend to make our services reasonable in cost while covering the costs of using natural products and materials, which are often higher than that for conventional cleaning products.
Our rate also help us to cover our gas and mileage, and covers the labor of preparing our natural cleaning products, sourcing sustainable cleaning materials as well as that of cleaning, disinfecting and laundering our supplies in between cleanings.
-
We use natural, biodegradable and environmentally friendly cleaning products, and never use microfiber rags or mops. We take steps to mitigate plastic waste and purchase our materials and cleaning ingredients from sustainable sources. We use essential oils for disinfecting, cleaning and for fragrance, but are happy to come with fragrance free products if you prefer. We only use products that are safe for pets.
We treat your home as if it were our own. We show up with clean, sanitized and well maintained equipment, never bringing supplies from home to home without taking steps to clean, launder and disinfect our materials and equipment.
We are happy to follow Covid masking protocols if you prefer- just let us know!
