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 Cedar Grove
How much does apartment cleaning cost in Cedar Grove?
Apartment visits start at $130. For a 1–2 bedroom unit, recurring visits run $130–160 weekly, $150–180 biweekly and $170–200 monthly; a first deep clean of that size is $230–320. Inside appliances, cabinets or storage costs extra, priced before the date is held.
What is included in apartment cleaning?
Inside your unit: kitchen counters and appliance fronts, bathrooms, reachable dusting, floors, high-touch points and the trash. A laundry nook gets a quick wipe; dishes and clothes washing are not part of it. Nobody photographs your apartment unless you ask ahead of the visit.
Who comes into my Cedar Grove unit?
Daniela Marque, the owner, with the same small crew each time. No subcontractors, no call center. A task we missed, reported within 24 hours, is cleaned again at no charge while access can be arranged.
How do I schedule an apartment cleaning visit?
Appointments depend on confirmed availability. Send your address and unit number, floor, bathroom count, preferred day, and parking or building-access instructions so we can confirm the visit.
What should I send about my Cedar Grove apartment building?
The unit number and floor, whether there is an elevator, where the crew can park and how the building lets visitors in. Renting? Where the lease asks for landlord approval of outside cleaners, secure it ahead of the visit.
Do you clean shared hallways or condo common areas?
No. This service covers the inside of your apartment or condo only. Shared hallways, lobbies, and other building common areas are not included.
Are bed linens and appliance interiors included?
Bed-linen changes are available on request for an additional $20 per bedroom. Cleaning inside appliances, cabinets, or storage areas costs extra; confirm availability, tasks, and price before booking. We do not wash, dry, or fold laundry.
Do you clean the lobby or hallway of my Cedar Grove building?
Not within a unit booking. Common areas in a Cedar Grove building first need management's sign-off, then a commercial quote of their own.
I rent my Cedar Grove apartment. Should my landlord approve the cleaning?
Only if your lease requires it for outside cleaners. In that case, have the OK in hand before we come.
Is a Cedar Grove studio too small to book?
No. A studio gets the same list as any unit, sized to its rooms.
How do I pass along the door code for my Cedar Grove unit?
Privately, after the visit is confirmed. Handing over a key or code is your choice, and the quote form is never the place for it.
