"I have been using Maid Perfect for more than a year now and they save my sanity! They come in as a team and clean my 3,200 sf house in about an hour and half. When they leave, everything is clean and the house smells amazing! My neighbor uses them too! Highly recommend!"

"It went pretty well. Tonya was nice and they made quick work of the job. Areas that were cleaned, were cleaned well, however a couple of areas were missed completely. There is an area at the top of the stairs where you can look right at the floor as you climb the stairs. It had not been touched. The top of the refrigerator was also covered with dust as if it hadn't been touched. I think a final inspection by Tonya would have avoided this problem. I discovered these areas after they left."

"Sofia and her team did an amazing job cleaning our home! I needed someone last minute and they were very responsive and got me in the next day. They were fast, attentive and had great communication. My house looks amazing and is so clean. I am very excited to have them come back in 2 weeks. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much!"

House Cleaning questions, answered by experts

If you’re hiring a house cleaner, you should have them clean the house bi-weekly. This is the most common frequency for people who hire house cleaners, but what’s best for you will depend on how big your house is, how many people live in it, and if you have any pets. If you can maintain tidiness and deal with any immediate spills or splashes on your own, then a professional clean bi-weekly or even monthly should do the trick.

If you’re hiring someone to clean an empty and tidy house before you move in, there’s little prep work to do. Make sure to discuss your goals with the cleaning service, arrange entry to the house, and communicate any problem areas or special requests. If you’ve already moved into the house, or if it’s messy, it’s best to complete the following tasks before the cleaners arrive:

  • Declutter things like clothes, toys, or cardboard boxes

  • Do the dishes

  • Put fragile items in a safe spot where they can’t be accidentally broken

  • Keep pets away from cleaning areas

It depends on the surface you’re trying to clean. For example, a mixture of vinegar and water is a good option for a deep cleaning, including removing hard water stains from glass or stainless steel. However, vinegar is too acidic for granite and other types of natural stone, so it’s better to use a combination of baking soda and water on those surfaces.

The average cost of routine home maintenance is about 1% to 4% of your home’s total value every year. Larger projects like replacing a roof or repairing a foundation may end up costing you more, but it’s a good idea to set aside money for maintenance costs every year so you can keep your home in good shape.

A deep cleaning goes beyond traditional cleaning and includes tasks like cleaning grout and baseboards, organizing closets and drawers, dusting blinds and fans, and cleaning the inside and outside of appliances. It’s a much more thorough, comprehensive cleaning that focuses on hard-to-reach areas and often forgotten about spots.
