Montclair, Upper Montclair included, has 153.9 acres of township park land across 18 parks, according to Wikipedia; inside your home, every surface gets a product you have approved. When you ask for an eco visit in Montclair, list the products and scents to avoid and the surfaces that need gentle care. We check what we can supply, or use your labeled bottles, before the booking.
Mention children, pets, sensitivities and any heavy buildup with your request. We do not call any product chemical-free, non-toxic or allergy-proof. Disinfecting needs a suitable product used as its label says, so any limits are settled before we take that task on.

Helpful guide: What Eco-Friendly Cleaning Actually Means
Before we confirm your appointment
Cleaning products and vacuum
For eco visits we bring our vacuum and use the products you choose: you provide them, or we buy them for you and hand over the receipt. 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.

FAQ — Eco-Friendly Cleaning Montclair
What should I budget for eco-friendly cleaning in Montclair?
A Montclair eco-friendly visit is priced on the home's size and condition. Prices start at $130 per visit; the precise price follows the work you request. Floor area, number of baths and a first-time deep clean versus recurring visits matter most. A free quote gives you the precise figure.

Eco-Friendly Cleaning follows the room-by-room checklist shown on this page. Laundry and dishwashing are not included. Bed linens are changed for $20 per bedroom if requested; inside appliances, cabinets or storage costs extra. We confirm what's included before booking. Product and fragrance preferences must be confirmed against available supplies and surface requirements.
Who carries out eco-friendly cleaning in Montclair?
Daniela Marque with the small crew she employs herself; nobody is subcontracted and there is no call center. We are NJ MBE certified, and a checklist item we miss is cleaned again free if you tell us within 24 hours.
What is the lead time for an eco visit in Montclair?
Send your address, the day you would like, how we get in and your product choices. You hear back usually the same day or the next, and the visit is fixed once the products are agreed.
Can you use only my own products in my Montclair home?
Yes, provided each one is in its original labeled bottle. Leave them out for the crew and say which surface each one is for.
Could my Montclair eco visit leave out scented products?
Yes. Ask for fragrance-free and we use unscented products throughout the Montclair visit.
Will the crew open my Montclair windows to air the rooms?
Only if you say so. Windows stay shut unless you give the go-ahead for that visit.

Only when you choose it. Tell us on the day or in advance, and papers are left as they are.

No. We never promise allergy-proof, non-toxic or chemical-free results. We use the products you approve, fragrance-free if you ask, and follow each label.
