From Our Google Reviews
"The kitchen and bathrooms looked brand new."
I hired DM House Cleaning for a deep cleaning before hosting guests, and they exceeded my expectations. The kitchen and bathrooms looked brand new. It’s great to find a dependable house cleaning service in Union County that really cares about quality. I will definitely use them again.

"They were on time, professional, and very detail-oriented throughout the entire process."
I don’t usually leave reviews, but DM House Cleaning did a really solid job. They were on time, professional, and very detail-oriented throughout the entire process.
What stood out the most was the attention to detail — they didn’t just clean the obvious areas, they went deeper and made sure everything was properly taken care of. The place felt genuinely clean and well-maintained after they finished.
If you’re looking for a dependable and professional cleaning service in the area, they’re definitely worth considering.

Questions about Post-Renovation Cleaning in East Hanover
How is a post-renovation clean priced in East Hanover?
Each job is quoted on its own. A renovation needs its size, affected rooms, dust or residue, surface materials, access and extras looked at. We confirm whether we can take the job and the exact price before booking.
What does a post-renovation clean cover in East Hanover?
The quote and checklist you accept set the visit: kitchen surfaces and appliance fronts, bathrooms, reachable dusting, baseboards, inside windowsills, fixtures within reach and floors, each as their surfaces allow. Mention renovation dust before booking so the tasks can be assessed. Construction waste hauling, repairs and specialist cleanup fall outside the visit.
When can you clean after the contractor is done?
Ask for a date once the dusty work is finished, tools and construction waste are out of the work areas, and finishes can be cleaned under their care instructions. Confirm water, power and authorized entry. The date is agreed after we review the project and our availability, not set at a fixed number of days after the contractor leaves.
Do new cabinets, drawers or appliances get cleaned inside?
No. Inside cabinets, drawers, appliances or storage is an extra, new or empty units included. List the interiors you want and settle preparation, suitable tasks, availability and price before booking.
Will you scrape paint, adhesive or grout haze, or take construction waste?
Surface cleaning does not include those tasks by default. Send details of any residue and show it at a free walk-through for review before booking; we may turn down work that would harm the surface or falls outside our service. Your contractor handles construction waste removal. Scraping, hauling and restoration are not part of the quote.
Do you handle hazardous materials or certify the air after a renovation?
No. Hazardous-material testing or remediation, and any certification that the home or its air is safe to live in, are not part of this service. Tell us before booking about known or suspected hazardous materials so the request goes to a suitable specialist instead of being treated as surface cleaning.
What if more dust shows up after the East Hanover visit?
Reach out and we will look into what happened. A checklist item we missed is re-cleaned free when you tell us within 24 hours. See the linked terms. More construction, dust from new work or another cleanup stage is assessed on its own; a follow-up visit is not included or fixed for two weeks later.
What should I send about an East Hanover renovation?
A free walk-through of the rooms that were worked on, the care notes for the new finishes and the day the last trade clears out. The details can come from your contractor; the room list, the price and the entry arrangements are confirmed by you.
Who cleans up after an East Hanover renovation?
Daniela Marque works it with her own employees, not subcontractors. The rooms are photographed only if you ask before we start. Cabinet or appliance insides and the $20-per-bedroom bed-linen change cost extra; laundry rooms and mudrooms get only a brief tidy, and washing dishes or clothes is not offered.
Can you clean just the East Hanover rooms that were remodeled?
Yes. A free walk-through of only the renovated rooms is enough for a quote on those rooms.
My builder wants to send you the details. Is that all right?
Yes. The builder may send information, but you confirm the room list, the price and entry.
Will someone walk the rooms with me before and after?
If you would like that, yes; it is up to you and never required.
An electrician is coming back to my East Hanover house. Should I wait?
Yes. If trades return after our clean, that is a new visit with a new quote, so book once the work is finished.
