How often we come depends on how busy the house is, pets, cooking, the number of bathrooms and what you keep up yourself.
One-time cleaning

An urgent slot has to be confirmed as open first. Describe the condition, your deadline, the areas to clean and the way in.
Spring cleaning
Rank essential upkeep, heavier detail work and optional projects into a seasonal plan you can keep.
What matters most in your Chatham kitchen and bathrooms
List what you care about in the kitchen and bathrooms, and the quote will cover that work.

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 House Cleaning in Chatham
What should a Chatham household expect to pay for cleaning?
Booked weekly, prices begin at $140 for a 1–2 bedroom apartment, $190 for a 2–3 bedroom house, $240 for 3–4 bedrooms and $310 for 4–5 bedrooms. A first deep clean carries a quote of its own. Condition, square footage, visit frequency and add-ons settle what you finally pay.
Besides Chatham, which nearby towns do you reach?
Yes. Wikipedia lists Summit, Millburn and its Short Hills neighborhood, Chatham Township, Madison and Florham Park as the borough's neighbors, and we clean in those towns too. Send the full address so we can confirm the visit.
What reassurance do Chatham clients have about who comes in?
Owner Daniela Marque runs the business with one unchanging small crew and hires no subcontractors. Flag a missed checklist item inside 24 hours and the crew cleans it again for free. See the linked terms.
What's included in a standard cleaning?
Kitchens, bathrooms, floors, dusting, high-touch spots and more are all on our room-by-room checklist. Laundry rooms and mudrooms get a light pass only. Dishes and clothes laundering, drying and folding are outside what we do. For $20 per bedroom more we change the bed linen when you ask. The insides of appliances, cabinets or storage carry an extra charge; dates, scope and price are all agreed ahead of the booking. These extras are not built into a deep clean.
Can a Chatham visit take in every floor plus a finished basement?
Walk us through each floor's rooms, the stairs and the state of the surfaces so the quote reflects them. In a finished lower level we clean; we don't treat damp, repair anything or haul out stored things. Interior work and similar extras get their own agreement.
How do we arrange access?
Tell us who will open your Chatham door for the crew and where the car should go. A key or door code is optional; if you decide to share one, send it privately while arranging entry, never in the quote form.
How did Chatham get its name?
Wikipedia records that John Day settled here in 1710 and the village became known as John Day's Bridge; in 1773 it was renamed Chatham to honor William Pitt, the first Earl of Chatham. We clean homes across the borough today.
Is Chatham Borough the same town as Chatham Township?
No. The village voted to leave the township in 1892 and became a borough on March 1, 1897. The two still share a school district and the Library of The Chathams. Tell us which one your address is in when you ask for a quote.
