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 South Plainfield
How much does apartment cleaning cost in South Plainfield, NJ?
Apartment Cleaning pricing in South Plainfield varies by home size and condition. Prices start at $120 per visit; your exact price is confirmed from the requested work. The largest factors are square footage, number of bathrooms, and whether it's a first-time deep clean or recurring service. Get a free quote for an exact price.
What is part of a South Plainfield apartment clean?
The rooms in your unit, done from the checklist on this page: kitchen, bath, living areas and floors. Washing clothes or dishes is not part of a unit visit. A bed-linen change costs $20 per bedroom on request, and appliance, cabinet or storage insides are priced before booking.
Who cleans inside my South Plainfield apartment?
Daniela Marque and her regular crew; no subcontractor ever comes to your unit. The business holds NJ MBE certification, and a checklist item reported missed within 24 hours is redone free. Photos happen only if you ask before we begin.
How soon can my South Plainfield unit be booked?
Send the unit, the floor and a weekday that suits you. The date is set once the rooms, building entry and our calendar agree.
Does my South Plainfield landlord have to approve the cleaners?
Look at your lease. If it requires approval for outside workers, get it before the visit; we stay inside your unit.
Can I book a South Plainfield studio by itself?
Yes. A studio follows the same room-by-room list, fitted to its kitchen, bath and main room.
Can you clean my South Plainfield unit in the final days of my lease?
Yes. Send the last lease day and any list from your landlord; a weekday is set once entry is arranged.
Where should the crew park at my South Plainfield building?
Send the visitor-parking rules with your booking, and we plan the arrival so no resident's space is used.
My South Plainfield apartment is near Spring Lake Park. Does that change the price?
No. The price comes from your unit's rooms, condition and access, not the location in the borough. Share any visitor-parking limits at your building and the crew plans for them.
How much notice should I give to move my South Plainfield apartment visit?
48 hours, so the weekday can go to another household and a new slot can be found for you.
Can you clean the hallway outside my South Plainfield apartment?
Not as part of your unit price. Hallways and lobbies need the building's approval and a separate commercial quote; your visit stays inside your door.
What does a recurring clean cost for a small South Plainfield apartment?
For a 1–2 bedroom unit the published rates are $120–$160 weekly, $140–$180 every two weeks and $160–$200 monthly, set by size and condition.
Do I have to be home during my South Plainfield apartment visit?
No, if entry is arranged beforehand. A key or code is optional and is passed on privately, never through the quote form.
