- Let us know if the house will be empty, partly furnished or lived in. Give the size, bathrooms, stairs and any finished basement rooms to add.
- An empty or almost empty house with water and power running lets us reach the listed surfaces. Where boxes are still in place, we clean the reachable areas around them; we don't shift boxes or clean under them. Tell us who handles entry and any parking, driveway or loading limits. Codes go to us privately, never in the quote form.
- In the kitchen, counters, sink, stovetop and appliance fronts are done per the checklist. Add oven, fridge, cabinet, drawer or storage interiors as separate extra-charge items.
- Bathrooms, reachable dusting, baseboards, inside windowsills, reachable fans and floors are done to your checklist. What can be cleaned depends partly on condition and materials.

What Clients Wrote on Google
"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!
— Lou Saunders
"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.

Helpful guide: Move-In Cleaning Before the Furniture Arrives
Before we confirm your appointment
Cleaning products and vacuum
Yes. We bring all the cleaning products and our own vacuum.
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.

Please give us 48 hours’ notice so we can offer the time to another family.

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.

Questions about Move-In Cleaning in Florham Park
What should I budget for a Florham Park move-in clean?
Move-in cleaning is quoted per home. Plan on a typical range of $230–$790+ (1-bedroom $230–$340 up to $470–$790+ for a 4+ bedroom house); it is neither a fixed quote nor a maximum. Size, bathrooms, condition, reachable rooms and extras set your price. Tasks and the exact figure are agreed before booking. Appliance, cabinet and storage interiors are billed on top; an empty house doesn't make them standard.
What does a Florham Park move-in clean cover?
The move-in checklist: kitchen surfaces and appliance fronts, bathrooms, reachable dusting, baseboards, inside window sills, reachable fans, floors, high-touch spots and trash, in the rooms named in your quote. We take photos of the empty rooms only when asked before we begin.
How should I time the clean around closing and the move?
Ask for a date once you have permission and access, ideally before furniture and boxes come in. Send the key handover and mover dates so we can check our calendar and fit the quoted work. A date is confirmed with you; a scheduled closing doesn't guarantee it.
Must the house be totally empty?
Surfaces are usually easier to reach when little or nothing is left inside. If furniture, boxes or people will still be there, say so before booking so we can plan access and the work. Shifting belongings or large appliances is not part of household cleaning.
Is the inside of the oven, fridge, cabinets and drawers covered?
No. Even in an empty home, the insides of appliances, cabinets, drawers and storage are an extra charge. Name the interiors you want and we confirm timing, prep, tasks and price before booking.
Do you also do basements, garages, porches or screens?
Point out the finished-basement rooms and floors to add to the quote. Garages, porches, screens and other spots beyond the listed household work are not standard. Describe them and we confirm timing and price instead of treating them as routine.
What should I mention about renovations or getting in?
Tell us about painting or renovation in progress, room condition, parking and entry, and whether water and power will be on. Construction debris and specialist cleanup are not part of a standard move-in visit. Should the work or access change, let us know and we review it and our dates.
What do you need from me before my Florham Park move-in?
Your key date, whether movers will be using the driveway or entrance, and whether water and power will be on. Condos are fine; pass along the building's entry and parking rules.
Who cleans my new Florham Park home, and what counts as extra?
Daniela Marque and the crew she employs directly; no subcontractors are sent. Appliance and cabinet interiors and the $20-per-bedroom bed-linen change are extras. A checklist item we miss is re-cleaned free if you tell us within 24 hours; dishes and laundry are not included.
Will my Florham Park closing date reserve a cleaning?
No. Key day is what holds your visit; a closing date alone won't.
Can you clean a Florham Park condo before I move in?
Yes. Along with the key date, tell us how the building handles entry and where we may park.
Painters just left my new Florham Park house. Which clean do I book?
If paint or floor-work dust is left behind, it becomes a post-renovation clean, quoted on its own.
Will the crew wait if my moving truck is late?
A late truck is not something we can promise to follow. The visit keeps its agreed window, so book it for when the rooms are empty.
