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 also requires access to the property.
A return visit requires authorized access. The guarantee provides a re-clean, not a refund.

Questions about Apartment Cleaning in Caldwell
What does apartment cleaning cost in Caldwell?
Visits start at $120. The quote reflects the unit's size, bathrooms, condition, and whether it is a first deep clean or a recurring visit. We confirm the included work and the price before booking; inside appliances, cabinets and storage is extra.
What is included in apartment cleaning?
The checklist on this page, inside your unit: kitchen surfaces and appliance exteriors, bathrooms, reachable dusting, floors, high-touch spots and emptied trash. The crew leaves your dishes and your clothes washing, drying and folding alone. Photos of the unit are taken only if you ask before the crew starts.
Whose crew cleans inside my Caldwell apartment?
Daniela Marque, who owns DM House Cleaning, with her same small crew and no subcontractors. We are NJ MBE certified. A checklist item we miss is re-cleaned at no charge when you tell us within 24 hours, under our guarantee terms.
How do I book a visit to my Caldwell apartment?
Send the address with unit number, the floor, bathroom count, a preferred weekday and the parking or entry steps. We reply usually the same day or the next and confirm the visit once the rooms and entry are settled.
What should I send about my Caldwell building?
The unit number, the floor, how the crew reaches your door from parking and any building rules on deliveries or contractors. If your lease requires the landlord's OK for outside workers, arrange it first. Studios are welcome and quoted on the same room-by-room list.
Will you clean hallways or condo common areas in my building?
Not under this service, which covers only the inside of your apartment or condo. Hallways, lobbies and other common areas are left out.
Do you change bed linens or clean inside appliances?
A bed-linen change costs $20 per bedroom on request. Inside appliances, cabinets or storage is an extra; we confirm availability, tasks and price before booking. Washing, drying or folding laundry is not included.
Do I need my landlord's approval for a Caldwell apartment cleaning?
Look at your lease first. If outside workers need the landlord's permission, get it before we come; our work stays inside your unit.
Is a Caldwell studio quoted any differently?
Yes, from the same room-by-room list, sized to the rooms a studio has.
Could the crew also do the corridor outside my Caldwell door?
Not under apartment cleaning. A corridor or lobby clean first needs the building to approve it, and then it gets its own commercial quote.
How should the crew park and enter at my Caldwell building?
Send the building's parking spots and entry rules with your request; the Caldwell visit is scheduled to match them.
