How much do you charge, and what is a typical cleaning?

For an ongoing residential client, my average cost is $112.50 per cleaning (2.5 hours). The time can vary if your home requires very deep cleaning or has an extra ordinary amount of clutter. A typical cleaning includes thorough vacuuming and dusting of all rooms, thorough cleaning of kitchen and bathrooms, and hand washing of floors.

For an ongoing commercial client, my average cost is $120 per cleaning (3 hours). A typical cleaning includes thorough vacuuming, thorough cleaning of bathrooms and kitchens, removal of all trash and recycling, a rotating schedule of complete dusting, and interior glass and window sills as needed.

What type of products do you use?

I make my own all-purpose cleaner and wood cleaner. The all-purpose cleaner is made with a coconut based surfactant, and food grade essential oils of lemon, clove, cinnamon bark, and eucalyptus. Food grade oils are the highest quality oils available and are safe enough to ingest. Amazingly, they work exceptionally well in our carefully formulated cleaning products (and, of course, they smell great)! My wood cleaner uses a dash of soap along with French lavender essential oils and water. For tubs and sinks I use non-abrasive scrubbing powders such as Bon Ami. Our vacuums are equipped with powerful filters and the highest quality hypo-allergenic bags. The motors are powerful and work great on carpets, and have extensive attachments for fast and effective detailed vacuuming and vacuum dusting.

Who does the cleaning?

Myself and a staff of three top notch cleaners do the cleaning. I am present at an average of 75% of the jobs. If I am not part of the team for a particular home or office, I personally train the cleaners for that particular home or office.

What do you do before the first cleaning?

We will first talk by phone or email to set up an appointment. Our initial appointment will give us a chance to meet, as well as allow me to see your home or business first hand. We will make a checklist together so that the expectations are clear, after which I will give you an estimate. If you decide to go for it, we will schedule the first cleaning at your convenience.

Do you have references?

I have more than 50 wonderful ongoing clients who are happy to give a reference.  

Are you insured?
