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
Please give us 48 hours’ notice so we can offer the time to another family.
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 agreed task within 24 hours of the visit; we will re-clean that task at no charge.
A return visit requires authorized access. The guarantee provides a re-clean, not a refund.

Questions about Apartment Cleaning in Belleville
What is the price of apartment cleaning in Belleville?
Apartment visits begin at $120. Size, bathroom count, condition and whether you need a first deep clean or recurring visits shape the quote. The included work and price are confirmed before booking, and appliance, cabinet or storage insides are billed as extras.
What is included in apartment cleaning?
Kitchen surfaces and appliance fronts, bathrooms, reachable dusting, floors, high-touch spots and trash, all from the checklist on this page. A laundry nook or mudroom gets a quick tidy only; dishes and washing, drying or folding clothes are not done, and no photos are taken unless you ask.
Who comes into my Belleville unit?
Daniela Marque, owner of DM House Cleaning, and the same small crew she employs directly; no subcontractors. We are NJ MBE certified, and a listed task we miss is cleaned again free if you report it within 24 hours.
How do I book my Belleville apartment visit?
Visits are set once availability is confirmed. Send the address with unit number, the floor, bathroom count, the day you prefer and parking or building-entry details, and we confirm it.
What should a Belleville renter or condo owner tell you first?
Which rooms are yours, whether the entrance is shared, how many flights up and whether the elevator or building needs notice. Whether the unit is on Washington Avenue or a side street, hallways and lobbies need building approval and a separate commercial quote.
Are building hallways or condo common areas part of the job?
They are not. The service stays inside your apartment or condo, so hallways, lobbies and other shared building spaces are excluded.
Can a linen change or appliance interiors be added?
Yes, as extras: a bed-linen change is $20 per bedroom on request, and inside appliances, cabinets or storage is priced separately once we confirm tasks and availability before booking. Our crew does no laundry.
Must a Belleville landlord sign off on the cleaning visit?
That depends on your lease wording. When it asks for approval, get the OK before the visit; we clean inside your unit and nowhere else.
How is a Belleville studio apartment priced?
A studio gets the same room-by-room list, priced for the space it actually has, starting from the 1–2 bedroom apartment rates.
Is there time to clean my Belleville unit before my lease runs out?
Yes. Send the lease end date and any list from the landlord; the weekday is confirmed once entry is arranged.
How does the crew get into a Belleville building?
Tell us the buzzer, door or elevator routine and who meets us. Door codes are shared privately, never in the quote form.
