Absolutely amazing experience! The team was friendly, respectful, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. You can tell they truly care about their work and their customers.

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 Scotch Plains
How much does eco-friendly cleaning cost in Scotch Plains, NJ?
Eco visits follow the regular bands: a 1–2 bedroom apartment is $130–160 weekly and a 2–3 bedroom house $180–220 weekly. Picking your own products does not move the band; size, condition and frequency do.
What does an eco visit in Scotch Plains cover?
The standard room checklist, carried out with only the products you signed off on. Dishes and laundry are left out, a bed change costs $20 per bedroom, and interior cleaning is quoted apart.
Why do Scotch Plains households trust our product choices?
Daniela Marque and the same small crew use only the products you approve, by their labels; no subcontractors. NJ MBE certified. A missed task reported within 24 hours is cleaned again free, and photos are taken only when you ask before we start.
How soon can a Scotch Plains eco visit be set up?
Send the date and your product list. We reply usually the same day or the next, and book once the products suit your surfaces and a weekday is open.
What should an eco request include?
The address, rooms and levels, the products to use or avoid, any fragrance request, pets and how we get in.
Can the house be fragrance-free?
Yes, on request. We confirm unscented products for each surface before the visit.
Should I set my own products out?
If you want them used, leave them in one spot with the original labels on, and tell us which rooms they are for.
Can you use the products I already own?
Yes, as long as they keep their original labels; point out the rooms each one is meant for.

Only after you have said yes to it on the day.
Can the home office be skipped?
Yes. That room goes on the list only for the visits you pick.
Is eco cleaning safe for everyone in the house?
No product gets that label from us. Share any sensitivities in the household, and the product list is planned around them with you.
Can you skip scented sprays altogether?
Yes. Ask for fragrance-free and we confirm unscented products for each surface before the visit.
Do eco visits cost more?
No. The regular price bands apply; the rooms, condition and frequency set the price.
