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.

FAQ — Apartment Cleaning Garwood
What does apartment cleaning in Garwood cost?
A 1–2 bedroom apartment runs $120–$160 weekly, $140–$180 biweekly or $160–$200 monthly; a one-visit deep clean is $220–$320. Your exact price follows the rooms, bathrooms and condition, and is set before booking.
What does a Garwood apartment clean cover?
The rooms inside your unit on the checklist: kitchen surfaces, bathrooms, floors and reachable dusting. Studios are fine. No dishes or laundry; a bed-linen change is $20 per bedroom on request and appliance or cabinet interiors are extra.
Why do Garwood tenants and owners pick us for their unit?
The owner, Daniela Marque, cleans with the same small crew each time; nobody is subcontracted. NJ MBE certified. A missed checklist item reported within 24 hours is re-cleaned free once access is arranged, and no photos are taken in your unit unless you ask first.
How soon can you clean my Garwood apartment?
Tell us the date you want and any lease or moving deadline. We confirm after the unit list, building entry and a weekday slot are settled, replying the same day or the next.
Will you clean a studio apartment in Garwood?
Yes. Studios follow the same room-by-room checklist, with a price that matches their size and condition.
Do I need my Garwood landlord's permission first?
Only if your lease requires it, and then before we book. The crew stays inside your unit either way.
Can the crew clean the hallway or lobby of my Garwood building?
Only with the building's approval and a separate commercial quote; shared spaces are never part of a unit price.
How much notice should I give to move my Garwood apartment visit?
48 hours, so the slot can be offered to another client.
Can I have photos of my Garwood apartment once the clean is done?
Yes, when you ask for them before the crew starts work. We do not take pictures by default, so bring it up while setting the date and mention the rooms you want included, maybe the kitchen or the bathroom. Asking once the clean is under way is too late for that visit, but it can be arranged for the next one.
What does recurring cleaning cost for a one or two bedroom Garwood apartment?
A 1–2 bedroom apartment runs $120–160 per visit on a weekly plan, $140–180 every two weeks and $160–200 once a month. If the unit needs a heavier first pass, a deep clean for the same size is $220–320. The exact figure depends on the size and condition of your Garwood unit, and you approve it before any visit is booked.
Is the inside of the fridge included in a Garwood apartment clean?
No, it is an extra. The insides of appliances, cabinets and storage areas cost more than the standard unit price, and that is also the case on deep and move cleans. Tell us which ones you want opened when you ask for the quote, whether it is the fridge, the oven or a single kitchen cabinet, and we will include them in the price you approve.
