House Cleaning in Scotch Plains, NJ — Local Notes
Scotch Plains is a township in Union County, New Jersey, neighboring the separate borough of Fanwood. Brookside Park belongs to the township park system, and Ash Brook Reservation is a Union County site in Scotch Plains. Include Scotch Plains and the full property address when requesting cleaning. Its name is said to come from George Scott, a leader of a group of Scottish settlers, and Europeans, including many Scottish Quakers, settled the area as early as 1684 (Wikipedia).
For a home near Brookside Park, Park Avenue or the Fanwood border, tell DM which entrance to use and where parking is permitted. List the rooms and levels, and identify any requested basement or garage work separately so the quote follows your actual scope.
Cleaning frequency follows your rooms, condition and priorities. Describe buildup, dust and delicate finishes with their care instructions, and agree reachable tasks and suitable products before booking. Appliance, cabinet and storage interiors are separately priced requests.

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 requires authorized access. The guarantee provides a re-clean, not a refund.
