House Cleaning in West Orange, NJ
The Edison laboratory complex on Main Street is West Orange's best-known landmark; your own house matters more to us. Tell Daniela which rooms and surfaces to cover and how the crew gets in, and mention a sloped driveway, a shared entrance or a delicate finish before the cleaning and the price are agreed.

House Cleaning in West Orange: good to know
West Orange is one of the townships of Essex County, New Jersey. The National Park Service lists the Edison laboratory complex on Main Street; Glenmont is the associated residence. Both are historic sites rather than homes we visit, so a request needs your own full street address and any unit number.
Near Main Street or Lakeside Avenue, or anywhere else in the township, describe the driveway, where the crew may park and which door to use. Tell DM ahead of time about shared access, a slope or several levels, and name every room or extra area to include.
Describe the kitchen, bathrooms and floors and any care rules for delicate finishes. DM agrees the reachable tasks and suitable products before quoting; appliance, cabinet and storage interiors stay separately priced requests, deep clean included.

"They were on time, professional, and very detail-oriented throughout the entire process."
I don’t usually leave reviews, but DM House Cleaning did a really solid job. They were on time, professional, and very detail-oriented throughout the entire process.
What stood out the most was the attention to detail — they didn’t just clean the obvious areas, they went deeper and made sure everything was properly taken care of. The place felt genuinely clean and well-maintained after they finished.
If you’re looking for a dependable and professional cleaning service in the area, they’re definitely worth considering.

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.
