We confirm what can be cleaned based on the material, condition, and access; cleaning cannot guarantee removal of every stain or restore worn finishes.

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 Fanwood
How much is a Fanwood deep clean?
A deep clean begins at $260 for a 1–2 bedroom apartment. Home size, bathrooms, the level of buildup, the rooms chosen and any extras all feed the deep-clean quote. Work and exact price get confirmed before booking; appliance, cabinet and storage interiors are added at extra cost.
Which tasks come with a Fanwood deep clean?
Everything on this page's room-by-room checklist: kitchen surfaces and appliance outsides, bathrooms, reachable dusting, baseboards, interior windowsills, fans we can reach, floors and high-touch spots, with extra time spent on the buildup named in your quote. Trash is emptied. Pictures happen only when you request them before the crew gets started.
How does a deep clean differ from regular upkeep?
The deep clean targets built-up grime and the detail areas that need more time, most often at a first visit or after a long gap. Regular cleaning then maintains the home on your chosen schedule. Both follow the checklist; condition, priorities and the quoted work decide what each visit calls for.
Does the deep clean cover oven interiors, cabinets or bed linens?
Inside appliances, cabinets and storage are extras settled before booking. Changing bed linens is $20 per bedroom when you ask. Laundry rooms and mudrooms get a brief tidy, and dishes or washing, drying and folding clothes are not part of the visit.
Who shows up to do my Fanwood deep clean, and is it all one visit?
Daniela Marque, the owner, and her same small crew, finishing everything in one visit; no subcontractors. NJ MBE certified, with $1,000,000 general liability insurance. A listed item we missed, reported within 24 hours, is cleaned again free.
How much notice should I give for a Fanwood deep clean?
Appointments depend on confirmed availability. Put your preferred date and any deadline in the quote request; we lock in the visit after the work and schedule are agreed.
What should I send before my Fanwood deep clean?
The kitchen, the bathrooms and the dustiest rooms, which we see at the free walk-through, any finish with care limits, pets, parking and how we get in. 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.
How do I get the house ready for a deep clean?
Clear away loose belongings so the crew can reach every surface on the list. Mention delicate materials, pets, parking, entry steps and the rooms that need the most work. Before the visit, list any appliance or cabinet interiors you want priced as extras.
Can my Fanwood deep clean be spread across two days?
No. Your agreed deep clean is completed in a single visit; if the budget is tight, we price fewer rooms rather than dividing the job.
Can you deep clean original woodwork in an older Fanwood house?
Yes, using only what the care notes for that wood permit; have them ready for your free walk-through.
Is a deep clean required before a Fanwood maid plan starts?
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.
What drives the cost of deep cleaning a Fanwood home?
By home size, number of bathrooms, the buildup the free walk-through shows and any extras. The ranges run from $260–$380 for a 1–2 bedroom apartment up to $540–$900+ for 4+ bedrooms.
