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 Chatham
What does a Chatham apartment clean cost?
Chatham apartment visits start at $140. The unit's size, bathrooms and condition, plus whether it is a first deep clean or regular upkeep, set the quote. Scope and price for the unit are set before booking; interiors of appliances, cabinets and storage are extra.
What is included in apartment cleaning?
Using the checklist on this page, the crew does kitchen surfaces and appliance outsides, bathrooms, reachable dusting, floors and high-touch spots. We empty trash. Nothing in your unit is photographed unless you ask before we start. The laundry and mudroom corners of the unit get a light cleanup only. Dishwashing and clothes laundering, drying or folding aren't part of the visit.
Who cleans inside my Chatham unit?
Daniela Marque and her usual Chatham crew; no subcontractor ever steps into your unit. We are NJ MBE certified. If an item on your unit's checklist is missed, report it within 24 hours and that item is re-cleaned at no charge.
How do I get my Chatham apartment on the schedule?
Appointments depend on confirmed availability. To confirm, send the address and unit, the floor, bathroom count, the day you'd like, and parking and building-entry details.
What should I tell you about my Chatham building?
The unit number, the floor, whether there is an elevator, where the crew can park and how the front door is opened. When the lease asks for landlord approval of outside workers, get that approval before the visit day.
Are building hallways or condo common areas part of the job?
No. This visit stays inside your own apartment or condo. Hallways, lobbies and other shared building areas are left out.
Is changing linens or cleaning inside appliances included?
A linen change for the bed is $20 per bedroom, on request only. Appliance, cabinet or storage interiors cost more; agree timing, tasks and price ahead of booking. We won't wash, dry or fold your laundry.
Is landlord approval needed before cleaning my Chatham rental unit?
It depends on the wording of your Chatham lease. Check it, and arrange any approval for outside workers before the visit.
Is a Chatham studio too small for your apartment service?
Yes. A studio gets the same room-by-room list, adjusted to its size.
Will the crew clean the hall outside my Chatham apartment?
Not under apartment cleaning. Shared Chatham hallways and lobbies require sign-off from the building plus their own commercial quote.
How much is a recurring clean for a Chatham one- or two-bedroom?
Weekly visits run $140–$190, biweekly $170–$220 and monthly $190–$240, set by condition and the rooms included.
