What Our Deep Cleaning Visit Covers
Deep Cleaning for Colonia, NJ Homes
Deep cleaning gives extra attention to accumulated dirt and detail areas before you settle into regular upkeep, prepare for guests, or catch up after a busy season. We use the room-by-room checklist below and plan the visit around your home’s condition. Appliance, cabinet, and storage interiors remain separately quoted extras. We confirm what can be cleaned based on the material, condition, and access; cleaning cannot guarantee removal of every stain or restore worn finishes.
- Owner-operated by Daniela Marque
- Same small trusted crew every visit
- The crew takes pictures only when you request them before starting.
- New Jersey MBE certified

Before we confirm your appointment
Cleaning products and vacuum
For a deep clean we bring all the cleaning products and our own vacuum. If you continue with regular visits, we still bring our vacuum and 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 Deep Cleaning in Colonia
What goes into the price of a Colonia deep clean?
Deep cleaning begins at $220 a visit. Home size, bathroom count, how much buildup there is, the rooms included and any extras shape the quote. Everything, including the exact price, is agreed before booking; appliance, cabinet and storage insides are extra.
What does a deep clean in Colonia include?
The room-by-room checklist on this page: kitchen surfaces and appliance fronts, bathrooms, reachable dusting, baseboards, inside windowsills, fans in reach, floors and high-touch spots. Extra time goes to the condition and detail areas named in your quote. Trash is emptied, and photos are taken only if you ask beforehand.
Deep clean or regular cleaning: what separates them?
A deep clean targets built-up grime and detail spots, usually on a first visit or after upkeep has slipped. Regular cleaning holds the home steady on the schedule you set. Both run off the checklist; condition, priorities and the quoted work decide how each visit goes.
Do oven interiors, cabinets or bed linens come with a Colonia deep clean?
Appliance, cabinet or storage insides are extra and must be agreed before booking. A bed-linen change costs $20 per bedroom on request. Laundry and mudroom spaces get only a light tidy, even on a deep clean, and we wash no dishes or clothes.
Whose hands do the detail work in a Colonia deep clean?
Daniela Marque with the small crew she employs, and no subcontractors. DM House Cleaning holds NJ MBE certification. Tell us within 24 hours about a checklist item we missed and it is cleaned again at no charge, as the guarantee terms explain.
How early should a Colonia deep clean be booked?
Book your free walk-through and send a preferred date as soon as you can, with any deadline. The visit is confirmed once the list, the price and a weekday slot are settled.
What do we look at so a Colonia deep clean can be priced?
The grease, soap film and dusty corners, the floors to include and any finishes with care rules. We price the single visit at the free walk-through; a basement is cleaned as a room, and humidity or water problems stay outside the work.
What prep helps before a Colonia deep clean?
Pick up loose items so every surface on the list is reachable. Tell us about fragile materials, pets, parking, how to get in and the rooms in the worst shape. Name any appliance or cabinet interiors to be quoted as extras before the day.
Will my Colonia deep clean be finished in a single visit?
Yes. The whole deep clean is finished in one visit on a single weekday, sized at a free walk-through.
Do I need a deep clean before regular Colonia visits?
Usually, yes. Most first visits start with a deep clean. If our crew has inspected your home before we agree the work, the first visit can be a regular cleaning.
Does the crew shift furniture on a Colonia deep-clean day?
Only as agreed ahead of time. Anything fragile or very heavy keeps its place while the crew works around it.
Is cleaning inside my oven covered by a Colonia deep-clean price?
No. Appliance, cabinet and storage interiors are extra even on a deep clean, and that cost is fixed before booking.
