Before we confirm your appointment
Cleaning products and vacuum
For a deep clean we bring all the cleaning products and our own vacuum. If you continue with regular visits, we still bring our vacuum and 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.

What goes on the Rahway deep-clean list?
Extra time on the checklist rooms: kitchen surfaces, bathrooms, floors, baseboards, reachable fans and sills, all in one visit. No dishes or laundry; a bed-linen change is $20 per bedroom if asked; appliance, cabinet and storage interiors are quoted separately.
What makes Rahway homeowners pick us for the heavy clean?
Daniela Marque runs the Rahway deep clean in person with her usual crew, and no subcontractor is ever sent. We hold NJ MBE certification. Anything on the list that was missed and is reported within 24 hours is redone free; photos only on request before we begin.
What is the lead time for a Rahway deep clean?
Book a free walk-through of the problem areas, and send the date you would like and any deadline you face. We answer the same day or the next, and the date is held once priorities, entry and an open weekday are agreed.
Can a Rahway deep clean be spread across two days?
No. The agreed deep clean is finished in a single visit. A smaller scope means fewer rooms on the quote, never a second day.
Do you deep clean older Rahway houses?
Yes, with products the finishes' care instructions allow. Send those instructions and book a free walk-through before the quote.
Must I book a Rahway deep clean before a recurring plan?
In most homes, yes: the first visit is a deep clean. The exception is a home our crew has already inspected before the agreement; then the plan can start with a regular visit.
Will your crew shift beds and sofas in my Rahway home?
List any pieces you want shifted when you ask for the quote. The crew moves only what is agreed, and anything fragile or very heavy is cleaned around.
Can I stay home during a Rahway deep clean?
Yes. You can be there or not, as long as the crew can get in and reach the rooms on the list.
Do you clean inside the oven during a Rahway deep clean?
Only if you add it. Appliance, cabinet and storage interiors are always priced as extras.
How long does a deep clean take in a Rahway house?
That depends on the size and the buildup. The crew does not rush; Daniela checks every room, so a deep clean takes longer than a regular visit.
Can I move my Rahway deep clean to another day?
Yes, with 48 hours' notice, so the slot can go to another family.
Do you clean baseboards on a Rahway deep clean?
Yes, reachable baseboards are on the deep-clean list, along with sills and reachable fans.
