Helpful guide: Weekly, Biweekly or Monthly Cleaning?
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 Maid Service in Cranford
What does a recurring Cranford maid visit cost?
Scheduled visits begin at $130. The price follows the size of the home, the bathrooms, its condition, how often we come, the rooms on the list and any add-ons. We settle the tasks and exact figure before booking instead of giving every recurring visit one flat price.
What cleaning tasks are included?
Each visit follows the checklist on this page: kitchen surfaces and appliance exteriors, bathrooms, reachable dusting, baseboards, interior windowsills, reachable fans, floors, high-touch surfaces and trash. The rooms in your quote set the visit, and photos are taken only when you ask for them in advance.
Weekly, every two weeks or monthly: which suits my Cranford home?
It comes down to how hard the rooms are used and what gets done between our visits. A busy household often leans weekly, every two weeks gives a steady upkeep gap, and monthly can work when the house is kept up in between. We talk through priorities, condition, budget and open dates before a plan is fixed.
Must a Cranford maid plan begin with a deep clean?
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.
Will the maid visit cover dishes, laundry or fresh sheets?
Washing dishes and washing, drying or folding clothes are not part of it. Laundry and mudroom corners get a light tidy. Fresh sheets go on for $20 per bedroom when asked, and the inside of appliances, cabinets or storage is an add-on agreed before booking.
Can the plan cover my finished basement in Cranford?
Name the finished basement rooms and floors you want on the list, and we confirm entry, condition, tasks and price in the quote. Cleaning floors and surfaces down there does not include checking humidity or fixing moisture problems.
Will the same crew come to my Cranford home each time?
Yes: Daniela Marque and her same small crew, with no subcontractors or call center. Report a missed checklist item within 24 hours and it is re-cleaned free while access is arranged.
How do I set up a Cranford maid-service plan?
Tell us the rhythm you want, the rooms for every visit, bathrooms, pets and entry. For a 2–3 bedroom house, weekly runs $170–220, biweekly $190–240 and monthly $210–280.
How do I set up visits or change what the crew focuses on?
Send the rhythm and start date you want, the size of the home, the bathrooms, the rooms and entry notes. Visits go ahead once a slot is confirmed. Clear loose items before the crew comes and tell us about changes, product choices, pets or add-ons ahead of the visit.
What if I need to skip one Cranford visit?
Yes, with notice. Skipping one visit does not change your plan; changing the rhythm itself is re-quoted.
Do extras cost more on a maid plan?
Yes, each extra is priced per visit, only for the visits you add it to.
Is DM a live-in maid or nanny service?
No. We come for scheduled cleaning visits only; there is no live-in help and no childcare.
Can I switch from monthly to biweekly later?
Yes. A new rhythm gets a new quote before the change starts.
