Book Apartment Cleaning Cranford →Apartment Cleaning — Cranford, Union County
Downtown Cranford is counted by the Census Bureau as its own census-designated place, inside a township of 4.87 square miles (Wikipedia).
In a Cranford apartment the job ends at your door. Send the unit number, floor, stairs or elevator, parking and how we get in; if you rent and your lease requires it, get your landlord's OK first. Corridors and lobbies belong to the building, so they would need its sign-off and a commercial quote of their own.
Explore Union County · Cranford cleaning services
- Note the rooms that need the most work, how many bathrooms the unit has, and whether pets or fragile flooring are in the picture.
- The floor just inside your door is covered. Mention grit carried in from outside or spring pollen so we can judge its state and plan for it.
- In the kitchen the list takes in counters, the sink, the stovetop and the outside of appliances. Inside any appliance, cabinet or storage space is an add-on.
- A laundry alcove or mudroom inside the apartment gets a brief tidy and nothing more. Dishes and clothes washing, drying or folding are left to you. Clean sheets are put on the bed for $20 per bedroom on request.

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 Cranford
What does a Cranford apartment cleaning cost?
Visits begin at $130. The figure for your unit follows its size, how many bathrooms it has, its condition, and whether you want a first deep clean or a recurring plan. Before booking we set out the tasks and the price; the inside of appliances, cabinets and storage is extra.
What does the crew clean in a Cranford apartment?
Counters and appliance exteriors, bathrooms, dusting within reach, floors and frequently touched spots from the list on this page, and the trash goes out. Dishes and clothes washing, drying or folding are not part of it, and a laundry corner just gets a wipe. Pictures of the unit are taken only if you request them in advance.
Who cleans my Cranford apartment?
Daniela Marque, the owner, with the same small crew; no subcontractors and no call center. NJ MBE certified. Report a missed checklist item within 24 hours and it is re-cleaned free once access is arranged.
How is a Cranford apartment visit booked?
Visits go ahead once a slot is confirmed. Send the street address with the unit number, the floor, the bathroom count, the day you would like and any parking or building-entry notes, and we will confirm the booking.
What should I send about my Cranford unit?
Unit number, floor, bathroom count, stairs or elevator, parking, and any building rule for outside workers. Studios are fine. If your lease requires landlord approval, arrange it before the visit.
Will the crew clean the hallways or common rooms of my condo building?
No. The service stops at the walls of your own apartment or condo; corridors, lobbies and every other shared part of the building are left out.
Can a Cranford apartment visit include fresh sheets or appliance interiors?
Fresh sheets go on for an extra $20 per bedroom when you ask. Inside appliances, cabinets or storage costs extra; settle the tasks, the price and the date before booking. Washing, drying or folding laundry is not something we do.
Do you clean studio apartments in Cranford?
Yes. A studio follows the same room-by-room list, priced for its size and condition.
Does my Cranford landlord need to approve the visit?
If your lease says so, yes; get that approval before we book; the crew works inside your unit and nowhere else.
Can you clean my building's lobby or hallway?
Only with the building's approval and a separate commercial quote; it is never part of a unit price.
How much notice do you need to change an apartment visit?
48 hours, so the slot can go to someone else.
