"Absolutely amazing experience!"
Absolutely amazing experience! The team was friendly, respectful, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. You can tell they truly care about their work and their customers. Walking into my home after they finished was the best feeling—everything was fresh, clean, and sparkling. I’ll definitely be using them again and recommending them to friends and family!

Ways to book in Elizabeth
Pick a recurring plan, a single visit or an urgent request, depending on what the home needs now.
Weekly, biweekly, or monthly
Pets, cooking, the number of bathrooms and how the home holds up between visits decide the rhythm.
One-time cleaning
Before a date is set, tell us the kind of job: routine reset, deep clean, move, event prep or just a few priority rooms.
Urgent request
We can look for an opening on the day you ask, but we never promise one. Include the condition, the deadline, the rooms and the entry plan.
Spring cleaning
Group everyday upkeep, built-up detail work and optional jobs into a plan for the season that matches the time you can give it.
Rank your Elizabeth kitchen and bath priorities
Rank the kitchen and bathroom jobs; the quote is written in that same order.
Kitchen
Tell us which kitchen pieces are in: counters, sink, cooktop, backsplash, appliance exteriors, cabinet fronts and floors. Appliance and cabinet interiors cost extra and are priced when you ask.
Bathrooms
For the bathroom, list toilet, tub or shower, sink, mirror, fixtures and floor, and point out buildup that could slow the work or limit how it turns out.
Elizabeth weekly starting prices
These are per-visit starting rates for weekly recurring cleaning; a deep clean, if you want one, is priced separately.
How big the home is, its condition and the visit frequency set your rate.

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 House Cleaning in Elizabeth
What does a house cleaning visit in Elizabeth, NJ cost?
On a weekly plan, visits start at $120 (1–2 bedroom apartment), $150 (2–3 bedroom house), $190 (3–4 bedroom house) and $250 (4–5 bedroom house). If a first deep clean is needed, it is priced on its own. The final figure moves with the home's condition and size, the visit frequency and any extras you pick.
Does the crew work in Elizabeth and the towns around it?
Yes. We clean anywhere in Elizabeth and in the bordering towns listed on this page, coming from our Kenilworth base. Send the full address so we can confirm the rooms and a weekday.
Who stands behind an Elizabeth cleaning visit?
The owner, Daniela Marque, works every job with her own small crew; no subcontractor ever does the work. If a checklist item was missed, let us know within 24 hours and our re-clean guarantee covers it. See the linked terms.
What's included in a standard cleaning?
Kitchens, bathrooms, floors, reachable dusting and high-touch surfaces from the room-by-room checklist; laundry and mudroom areas get a light pass only. We do not wash dishes or clothes. A bed-linen change is $20 per bedroom on request, and appliance, cabinet or storage interiors are priced as extras.
Can one visit cover every floor of the house plus a finished basement?
Go floor by floor: name the rooms, the stairs and the condition of the surfaces so the quote can include them. On a finished lower level the crew cleans surfaces only; moisture treatment, repairs and hauling out stored items are not part of it. Interior cleaning and other add-ons are settled on their own.
How does the crew get into my Elizabeth home?
Tell us who lets the crew in and where to park. A key or code is optional and entirely your call; if you do, send it privately, never through the quote form.
How big is Elizabeth?
Elizabeth had 137,298 residents in the 2020 U.S. Census and covers 12.32 square miles of land, according to Wikipedia. It is the county seat of Union County. We clean anywhere in the city once the rooms and entry plan are agreed.
Which towns border Elizabeth?
Wikipedia lists Linden to the southwest, Roselle and Roselle Park to the west, Union and Hillside to the northwest and Newark to the north. Newark Bay and the Arthur Kill lie to the east. Send the full address for a quote in any of them.
