Book Apartment Cleaning Rahway →Apartment Cleaning in Rahway, NJ — Local Notes
Data USA puts the Rahway homeownership rate at 51.5% (2024). Studios and larger units are both fine: send the unit number, floor, stairs or elevator and how we get in, plus the kitchen, bathrooms and buildup, and we quote only the rooms behind your door.
Check where the crew can park and what your building asks of visiting workers. Hallways, lobbies and landlord-run areas are never part of a unit quote; they need the building's approval and a separate commercial price. If your lease requires the landlord's OK for cleaners, get it before the date.

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.
