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 Elizabeth
What does recurring maid service in Elizabeth cost?
Recurring visits start at $120 for a 1–2 bedroom apartment. Size, bathrooms, condition, how often we come, the rooms on the list and any extras decide your quote. Rather than one flat rate for every recurring visit, we confirm your tasks and exact price before booking.
What cleaning tasks are included?
Each visit follows the checklist: kitchen surfaces and appliance exteriors, bathrooms, reachable dusting, baseboards, interior sills, reachable fans, floors, high-touch spots and trash. Your quote names the rooms. If you want photos of a visit, ask before we begin.
Weekly, every two weeks or monthly: which rhythm fits?
Pick by how heavily the rooms get used and how much you clean between our visits. A busy household may want weekly, every two weeks gives steady upkeep, and monthly can work if you keep up between visits. Before a plan is confirmed we talk through priorities, condition, budget and open dates.
Must regular Elizabeth visits begin with a deep clean?
Usually. Most plans begin with one deep clean; if our crew has walked through your home before the agreement, we can begin with a regular visit instead.
Are dishes, laundry or fresh linens part of maid visits?
Dishes and clothes are not washed, dried or folded by us. A laundry room or mudroom gets a light pass only. Changing bed linens is a $20 per bedroom you can request. Interiors of appliances, cabinets or storage cost extra and are set before the booking.
Can I include finished basement rooms?
Name any finished basement rooms and floors you want on the list. Your quote spells out access, condition, tasks and price. Cleaning surfaces and floors does not extend to checking humidity or fixing moisture problems.
Who comes to my home on a recurring plan?
Daniela Marque and the same small crew, with no subcontractors and no call center. We are NJ MBE certified. A checklist item missed and reported within 24 hours is cleaned again at no charge.
What should I tell you when setting up an Elizabeth plan?
The rhythm you want, the rooms and bathrooms on the list, pets, product preferences and how the crew gets in. Skipping a week is fine; changing the rhythm gets a new quote.
How do I book or change what the crew focuses on?
Send the rhythm and start date you want, the home's size, bathrooms, rooms and how we get in. Appointments depend on confirmed availability. Tidy loose items before we arrive and flag changes, product wishes, pets or extras ahead of time.
Can I skip a week of maid service in Elizabeth?
Yes. Tell us which week; your following visit stays on the same list and rate.
What happens if I switch from biweekly to weekly?
You get a fresh quote at the weekly band for your home size, agreed before the new rhythm begins.
Can I add an extra task for just one visit?
Yes. Extras such as a $20-per-bedroom bed-linen change are priced for the visit you pick, not every visit.
Do you provide childcare or live-in help?
No. DM House Cleaning does scheduled cleaning visits only.
