Before we confirm your appointment
Cleaning products and vacuum
On the first visit we bring all the cleaning products and our own vacuum. On later visits we still bring our vacuum, and we use your products: you can buy the ones you like, or we can buy them for you and give you the receipt.
Payment
We accept Zelle, Venmo and checks.
Weekday appointments
Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Time for the visit
It depends on the size and condition of the home. We don’t rush: Daniela checks every room before the crew moves on to the next, so larger homes and first visits take longer.
Tipping
Tips are never expected, but always appreciated.
Changing an appointment
Give 48 hours’ notice so we can offer the time to someone else.
Optional keys and access
You do not need to be home if authorized entry is arranged. Providing a key or access code is optional and your choice. If you give us a key for recurring visits, we keep it on file, labeled, for your scheduled visits and return it whenever you ask or when service ends. We only accept one if you choose to give it to us. Share door, lockbox or alarm codes privately when arranging access, not in the quote form.
Missed agreed tasks
Report a missed item on the agreed checklist within 24 hours. We re-clean that item free while we still have access. This is the reporting deadline, not a promise to return that day. Guarantee terms
A return visit requires authorized access. The guarantee provides a re-clean, not a refund.

Questions about Apartment Cleaning in Avenel
What should I send to plan my Avenel apartment visit?
Send the Avenel address and unit, floor, bathroom count, building access and parking instructions. The quote covers the rooms in your unit, with extras confirmed ahead of booking.
How is an Avenel apartment clean priced?
For a 1–2-bedroom apartment: $120–$150 weekly, $130–$170 biweekly, or $150–$190 monthly. Your apartment quote depends on its size, bathroom count, condition, and whether it needs an initial deep clean or recurring service. We confirm what's included and the price before booking; cleaning inside appliances, cabinets and storage costs extra. See the pricing page.
What is included in apartment cleaning?
We clean kitchen surfaces and appliance exteriors, bathrooms, the dusting we can reach, floors, and high-touch surfaces following the checklist on this page. We empty trash. Photos inside the unit are taken only if you ask beforehand. In-unit laundry and mudroom spaces get only a light tidy. Dishes and washing, drying, or folding clothes are not included.
Is it the owner who cleans my Avenel apartment, or a hired team?
The owner, Daniela Marque, with her usual small crew and no subcontractors. We are NJ MBE certified. If an item on your unit checklist is missed and you tell us within 24 hours, it is cleaned again free while access can be arranged; the 24 hours are a reporting deadline, not a same-day return.
How do I get an Avenel apartment visit on the calendar?
Appointments depend on confirmed availability. To confirm the visit, send the address with unit number, the floor, the bathroom count, your preferred day and how parking and building entry work.
What do you need from me about my Avenel building?
The unit number, the floor, stairs or elevator, where the crew parks and how the building lets workers in. If your lease needs the landlord's OK for cleaners, arrange it first; we then quote only the rooms inside your unit.
Will you clean the halls or common areas of my Avenel building?
No. Only the inside of your apartment or condo is part of this service. Hallways, lobbies and other common parts of the building are left out.
Do linen changes and appliance insides come with an Avenel apartment clean?
A bed-linen change costs $20 per bedroom more, only when you ask. The insides of appliances, cabinets and storage cost extra; settle availability, tasks and price ahead of booking. Washing, drying and folding laundry are left out.
Do I need a sign-off from my Avenel landlord first?
That depends on your lease. If it asks for one, get the OK before the visit; the crew works only within your own unit.
Is a studio in Avenel too small for you?
No. Studios get the same room-by-room checklist, priced on the space they have.
Can you clean my Avenel hallway or lobby too?
Shared space needs the building's written go-ahead and its own commercial price. A unit quote never includes shared areas.
How does the crew park at an Avenel complex?
Tell us the visitor parking rules and any loading limits when you book, and we plan the arrival around them.
