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.

Questions about House Cleaning in Colonia

What does a weekly Colonia house clean cost?

A weekly visit begins at $120 for a 1–2 bedroom apartment and at $160, $200 and $260 for 2–3, 3–4 and 4–5 bedroom houses. A first deep clean is quoted by itself, and the final figure follows the home's size, condition, frequency and any extras.

Which Colonia streets and neighboring towns do you reach?

All of them. Colonia sits in Woodbridge Township, Middlesex County, and borders Clark, Rahway, Avenel, Iselin and Edison, per Wikipedia. Send the full address and we confirm the visit and a date from our Kenilworth, NJ base.

Who stands behind a DM House Cleaning visit in Colonia?

Owner Daniela Marque, who works each job alongside a small crew she employs; subcontractors are never sent. If a checklist item was skipped, report it within 24 hours and it is re-cleaned free of charge; the linked terms give the details.

Which rooms and tasks go into a standard Colonia visit?

The room-by-room list: kitchens, bathrooms, floors, dusting and the surfaces people touch daily. A laundry room or mudroom gets a light tidy only, and neither dishes nor clothes are washed, dried or folded. A $20 per bedroom fee covers fresh bed linen on request. Inside appliances, cabinets or storage is an extra priced before booking; booking a deep clean does not add it.

Can a Colonia visit take in upstairs, downstairs and a finished basement?

Tell us the rooms on every level, the stairs and how the surfaces look, and they go into the quote. For a finished lower level we clean; moisture treatment, repairs and clearing stored belongings are not included. Interiors and other extras are priced separately.

How does the crew get into my home?

Let us know who opens the door for the crew and which spot to park in. A key or door code is optional, and we hold one only if you decide to hand it over. Pass lockbox, door or alarm codes to us privately when you set up the visit, never through the quote form.

Is Colonia a separate town from Woodbridge?

No. Wikipedia describes Colonia as an unincorporated community and census-designated place inside Woodbridge Township, in the township's northwest corner. Give us your street and we plan the visit for that Colonia address.

Is Merrill Park in Colonia?

Yes. Wikipedia lists Merrill Park as a 179-acre Middlesex County park on the South Branch of the Rahway River in Colonia. Homes near the park or anywhere else in Colonia are priced from the room list you send.
