"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.

FAQ — Apartment Cleaning Plainfield
How much does apartment cleaning cost in Plainfield, NJ?
A 1–2 bedroom Plainfield apartment runs $120–$150 a visit weekly, $130–$170 biweekly and $150–$190 monthly. A one-time deep clean of that unit is usually $210–$300. Your final number depends on the rooms, the bathroom count and the state of the unit you describe.
Which rooms are on the list for a Plainfield apartment visit?
Kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and living space behind your own door, cleaned room by room from this page's checklist. Dishes and laundry are not part of it, a bed change costs $20 per bedroom on request, and appliance or cabinet interiors are priced on their own.
Which people come to clean my Plainfield apartment?
Daniela Marque and the few people she trains, the same faces at every Plainfield visit and never a subcontractor. The NJ MBE certification is on file, a unit task left undone is cleaned again free once you report it within 24 hours, and no photos are taken unless you ask before we start.
How soon can my Plainfield unit be on the schedule?
Send the unit, the rooms and a weekday you prefer. The price comes back usually the same day or the next, and the visit is held once building entry and parking are worked out.
Do you take on studio apartments in Plainfield?
Yes. A Plainfield studio gets the full room-by-room list, scaled to the space.
Could the hallway outside my Plainfield unit be cleaned too?
The apartment price covers what is behind your own door and nothing past it. Halls, lobbies and stairwells in a Plainfield building need the building's approval and are priced on a separate commercial quote.
Is landlord sign-off needed before my Plainfield unit is cleaned?
That comes down to your lease. When it requires landlord approval for outside workers, get that OK before the crew arrives.
What does biweekly cleaning cost for a Plainfield 1–2 bedroom apartment?
Biweekly visits for a 1–2 bedroom unit run $130–$170, depending on condition and the rooms on the list.
