About our cleaning
Who will clean my home?
Usually Maija herself, or Maija and her mother. We're a small, family-owned company, so you get the same faces every visit, not a rotating crew. Maija has been cleaning homes for 30 years, more than 10 of them in New Haven and Fairfield counties.
What's included in a regular cleaning?
Every room gets cleaned at each visit: dusting, vacuuming and floors, baseboards wiped down and trash emptied. In the kitchen we clean the countertops, sink, top of the stove and cabinet fronts. In bathrooms we clean the shower, toilet, sinks, mirrors, fixtures and floors. See the full list on our services page.
Do you bring your own supplies?
Yes. We bring our own vacuum and professional-grade products, each matched to the surface it's cleaning. You don't need to buy anything or leave anything out.
Do you offer green cleaning?
Yes, on request. We'll switch to EPA Safer Choice products, use fragrance-free options for allergies, or use your own favorite products. Because certified green products cost more, green cleaning is priced slightly higher. Learn more about green cleaning.
What types of homes do you clean?
All types, large or small, on the shoreline or inland, from condos to big family houses. We also clean small offices and commercial spaces.
Do you do one-time cleanings?
Yes. We do all types of one-time cleans: deep cleaning, spring cleaning, cleaning before holiday parties, and move-in and move-out cleaning.
Do you offer any services besides cleaning?
Yes. We also do home organizing, pet sitting and dog walking. Many clients ask us because we already know their home and their pets.
Scheduling
How often should I have my house cleaned?
Most of our clients have us come twice a month or once a month. Weekly cleaning is available too. Read more about choosing a cleaning schedule.
How long does a cleaning take?
Anywhere from under an hour to a couple of hours, depending on the size of your home and what you need.
Is there a minimum?
No. There's no minimum job size and no set number of hours.
How does scheduling work?
Scheduling is up to you. We'll set up a day and frequency that fits your life.
Do I need to be home while you clean?
No. You're welcome to be home, but you don't have to be. Many of our clients aren't home when we clean, because they've trusted us with their homes for years.
Pricing and estimates
How much does house cleaning cost?
Every home is priced individually, based on its size, how often we clean, how much work it needs, and pets. We give you an exact price at a free in-home estimate before we start. See how our pricing works.
Why does the first cleaning cost more?
Your first cleaning is a more thorough, deeper clean that brings your home up to our standard. It takes more time, so it can cost a little more than your regular visits.
How do I get an estimate?
Call or text 203-903-8688 or fill out our estimate form. We'll set up a time to come see your home. Estimates are free.
Trust
Are you insured?
Yes, we're insured.
Do you have references?
Yes. Ask us and we'll gladly give you referrals from our clients.
What if I'm not happy with a cleaning?
Tell us and we'll fix it right away at no extra cost. As a small business, we rely on word of mouth, so we don't take a complaint lightly.
What towns do you serve?
We're based in Milford and clean homes across New Haven County, nearby towns in Fairfield and Middlesex counties, and Hartford County, where Spotless first started. See the towns we serve.
