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.

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 Elizabeth
What is the price of a deep clean in Elizabeth?
Deep cleans start at $210 for a 1–2 bedroom apartment. Size of the home, number of bathrooms, how much buildup there is, the rooms on the list and any extras decide the quote. The work and the exact figure are confirmed before we book; appliance, cabinet and storage interiors are charged on top.
What does an Elizabeth deep clean cover?
Extra time on the checklist rooms: kitchen surfaces and appliance exteriors, bathrooms, reachable dusting, baseboards, interior sills, reachable fans, floors and high-touch spots, with trash taken out. The buildup you show us sets the priorities. No photos unless you ask before the crew begins.
Deep clean or regular visits: what is the difference?
A deep clean goes after built-up dirt and the detail spots that need extra time, usually on a first visit or after upkeep has lapsed. Regular visits hold that level on whatever schedule you pick. Both follow the checklist; what a visit needs comes from the condition, your priorities and the quoted work.
Do oven interiors, cabinets and bed linens come with it?
No. Inside the oven, other appliances, cabinets or storage is an extra settled before booking. Fresh bed linens can be put on for $20 per bedroom if requested. The laundry area gets only a quick tidy, and dishes and clothes washing are never included.
Who does the deep clean in my house?
Daniela Marque and her regular small crew; we never send a subcontractor. NJ MBE certified. A listed item missed and reported within 24 hours of the visit is cleaned again at no charge under our guarantee terms.
How early should I ask for an Elizabeth deep clean?
Appointments depend on confirmed availability. Mention the date you want and any deadline in your quote request; the visit is confirmed after the work and timing are agreed.
What should I show you before an Elizabeth deep clean?
The kitchen grease, bathroom scale and dusty detail areas, which we see at the free walk-through, the rooms and levels to include, any delicate or original finishes and how the crew gets in. That sets the price and the order of work.
What should I do before the deep-clean crew arrives?
Pick up loose items so the surfaces on the list are within reach. Let us know about delicate materials, pets, parking, how to get in and which rooms need the most work. Any appliance or cabinet interiors you want should be listed for an extra quote ahead of time.
Can an Elizabeth deep clean be spread over two days?
No. Our crew completes the whole agreed deep clean during a single visit. If that is too much, we quote a shorter list of rooms instead.
Will the crew move heavy furniture during a deep clean?
Only what we agree before the visit. Fragile or very heavy pieces stay where they are, and we clean around them.
How do you treat original woodwork in older Elizabeth homes?
With products suited to the finish, following any care notes you send. Worn or damaged finishes are cleaned, not restored.
Is a deep clean required before recurring visits?
Usually, yes: most first visits start with a deep clean. If our crew has seen your home before we agree the work and it is already well kept, we can start with a regular visit.
