Book Apartment Cleaning Fanwood →Apartment Cleaning — Fanwood, Union County
Fanwood is a borough in Union County, New Jersey. DM House Cleaning serves this area from our Kenilworth, NJ business base. Of the 2,829 housing units in Fanwood at the 2020 U.S. Census, 3.7% were vacant (Wikipedia).
A Fanwood apartment quote should describe the private unit, not the whole building. For a downtown address near South Avenue or Martine Avenue, include floor, entrance and parking instructions. Kitchens, bathrooms and living areas are reviewed for your visit; shared halls, lobbies and management-controlled spaces need separate agreement. In a Fanwood apartment or condo, the clean ends at your own door. Send the unit number, the floor, stairs or elevator, parking and how we get in. If your lease says the landlord must approve outside cleaners, get that first; hallways and lobbies need the building's permission and a separate commercial quote.
Explore Union County · Fanwood cleaning services
- List the rooms that need work, the bathroom count and any pets or delicate floors.
- Interior entry floors are included. Mention tracked-in grit or seasonal pollen so we can gauge the condition and plan accordingly.
- Counters, sink, stovetop and the outside of kitchen appliances are checklist items. Appliance, cabinet and storage interiors are billed extra.
- A laundry nook or mudroom inside your unit gets only a short tidy. Dishes stay unwashed and clothes are not washed, dried or folded. Bed linens can be changed for $20 per bedroom if you ask.

Where a Fanwood apartment clean stops
An apartment quote covers only what is inside your own door. Here is where that line falls.
Apartment rates
1–2 bedrooms: $140–160 weekly, $170–180 every two weeks, $190–200 monthly; a deep clean runs $260–320.
Studios
Welcome; the rooms and their state set the price.
Building common areas
Hallways, lobbies and stairwells need building approval and their own commercial quote.
Renters
When your lease requires it, get the landlord's OK before we book.
Keys or codes
Never required; if you share one, do it privately and never in the quote form.
Rescheduling
Please give 48 hours' notice to change or cancel a visit.

6.7%, against 1.2% for owner-occupied homes.
Stairs or elevator

"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.

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 also requires access to the property.
A return visit requires authorized access. The guarantee provides a re-clean, not a refund.

Questions about Apartment Cleaning in Fanwood
How much is an apartment clean in Fanwood?
Prices for a unit begin at $140 a visit. Unit size, bathrooms, condition and the choice between a first deep clean and recurring visits shape the apartment quote. What is covered and what it costs are confirmed before booking; appliance, cabinet and storage interiors cost more.
What is included in apartment cleaning?
The checklist on this page for your unit: kitchen surfaces and appliance outsides, bathrooms, the dusting we can reach, floors and high-touch spots, with the trash taken out. We skip dishes and do not wash, dry or fold clothes, and a laundry corner gets just a light wipe. Pictures of the unit are taken only if you ask for them first.
Which people clean inside my Fanwood unit?
Daniela Marque, the owner, together with her same small crew; no subcontractors and no call center. NJ MBE certified. A checklist item we missed and you report within 24 hours is cleaned again at no charge while access can be arranged.
How do I set up a clean for my Fanwood unit?
Appointments depend on confirmed availability. Send the address, unit and floor, bathroom count, the day you would like and the parking and building-entry details so the visit can be confirmed.
What goes into a Fanwood apartment quote request?
Your unit number and floor, how many bathrooms, stairs or an elevator, where to park, and any building rule about outside workers. Studios are fine. If the lease needs your landlord's OK for outside cleaners, sort that out before booking.
Will you clean the building's halls or condo common areas?
No. The work stays inside your apartment or condo. Halls, lobbies and other shared building areas are not covered.
Are linen changes and appliance interiors part of it?
Linen changes on the beds cost $20 per bedroom when requested. Inside appliances, cabinets or storage is priced as an extra; fix the date, tasks and price before the booking. Laundry is never washed, dried or folded on a visit.
Do you book single-room studios in Fanwood?
Not at all. Studios get the full room-by-room checklist, with a price that reflects the smaller space and its condition.
My Fanwood lease mentions outside workers; what should I do?
If your lease says so, yes, and that approval should come before we book. Our work stays behind your own apartment door.
Could the crew also do the hallway outside my door?
Only when the building approves and a separate commercial quote is agreed; shared areas are never in an apartment price.
How much notice do you need to reschedule an apartment clean?
48 hours, so that weekday can go to another client.
