You’re juggling career demands, family responsibilities, and trying to maintain a home that reflects your standards. That’s exhausting. When you choose professional house cleaning, you’re not just getting a clean space—you’re getting your life back.
Imagine walking into a home that smells fresh, feels organized, and gives you that satisfied feeling of “everything’s handled.” No more guilt about dust accumulating while you focus on work deadlines. No more weekend mornings spent scrubbing bathrooms instead of enjoying coffee with your family.
Your home becomes the sanctuary it should be. Clean surfaces, sanitized bathrooms, and floors you’re proud to walk barefoot on. The kind of clean that lets you invite friends over without that frantic pre-visit cleaning rush.
We’ve been serving The Port and surrounding Cambridge communities for over ten years. We’re not a corporate franchise—we’re your neighbors who understand what life looks like in this area.
Living near Harvard and MIT means your schedule doesn’t follow normal patterns. Academic calendars, research deadlines, and the unique rhythm of university life require a cleaning service that gets it. We work around your schedule, whether that’s early morning before conferences or late afternoon between lab sessions.
Our family-owned approach means you get the same team, consistent quality, and personal attention that corporate chains simply can’t match. We’re bonded, insured, and committed to treating your home with the same care we’d want for our own families.
Getting started is straightforward. You request a free estimate through our website or phone call, and we’ll connect within 24-48 hours to discuss your specific needs and schedule a convenient time for your first cleaning.
Our team arrives with all necessary eco-friendly supplies and equipment. We start with a walkthrough to understand your priorities and any special requests. Then we systematically clean room by room—dusting surfaces, sanitizing bathrooms, vacuuming carpets, mopping floors, and handling those detail areas that make the difference.
Before we leave, we do a final inspection to ensure everything meets our standards and yours. You’ll receive text reminders 24 hours before and one hour before each scheduled visit, so you’re never caught off guard. If something isn’t perfect, we’ll return to make it right—that’s our satisfaction guarantee.

Our regular house cleaning covers all the essentials—bathrooms sanitized, kitchens deep-cleaned, floors vacuumed and mopped, dusting throughout, and beds made. But we go beyond basic maintenance to handle the details that matter in The Port’s unique housing landscape.
Many homes in this area are older, with character features that require specialized care. We know how to clean original hardwood floors without damage, handle delicate fixtures, and work around the books, research materials, and technology that fill academic households. Our deep cleaning service tackles baseboards, light fixtures, inside appliances, and those areas that accumulate dust but rarely get attention.
For busy professionals and families in The Port, we offer flexible scheduling—weekly for high-traffic homes, bi-weekly for most families, or monthly for lighter maintenance. Move-in and move-out cleaning ensures your transition is smooth, whether you’re relocating for a new position or settling into the neighborhood. Our carpet cleaning service handles the wear patterns common in Cambridge’s pedestrian-friendly community.
We exclusively use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products that are safe for children, pets, and family members with sensitivities. These professional-grade products effectively eliminate germs and bacteria without harsh chemical residues or strong odors.
Our cleaning solutions are biodegradable and free from ammonia, bleach, and other toxic ingredients commonly found in conventional cleaners. This means you can feel confident about your family’s health while still getting the deep, thorough clean your home deserves. We bring all supplies with us, so you never have to worry about purchasing or storing cleaning products.
After we clean, your home will smell fresh and clean—not like a chemical laboratory. This is especially important in The Port area where many families are health-conscious and environmentally aware.
We maintain detailed notes about your home’s specific needs, preferences, and any special instructions in our client database. Every team member has access to this information before arriving at your home, ensuring consistent service regardless of who’s on your cleaning team.
Our staff undergoes thorough training on our cleaning protocols and your individual preferences. We document everything from which areas need extra attention to how you prefer certain items arranged. If you have special requests—like organizing children’s toys in specific ways or avoiding certain areas during work-from-home hours—these details are communicated to every team member.
We also conduct regular quality checks and follow up with clients to ensure our standards remain high. If something isn’t cleaned to your satisfaction, we’ll return to address it immediately. Our goal is for you to receive the same excellent service every single time, creating a reliable routine you can count on.
Our regular house cleaning focuses on maintaining cleanliness in your most-used spaces. This includes sanitizing bathrooms, cleaning kitchen surfaces and appliances, vacuuming all floors, mopping hard surfaces, dusting furniture and accessible surfaces, making beds, and general tidying.
Deep cleaning is more comprehensive and typically done as a first-time service or seasonally. It includes everything in regular cleaning plus baseboards, light fixtures, inside appliances like ovens and refrigerators, window sills, detailed bathroom scrubbing including grout, ceiling fans, and other areas that don’t need weekly attention but accumulate dust and grime over time.
For homes in The Port, we often recommend starting with a deep clean to establish a baseline, then maintaining with regular bi-weekly or weekly service. This approach keeps your home consistently clean without the need for frequent intensive cleaning sessions. We’ll work with you to determine the right combination based on your household’s activity level, size, and preferences.
You don’t need to be home during our cleaning service. Many of our clients in The Port prefer to schedule cleaning while they’re at work, in classes, or running errands, returning to a perfectly clean home.
For security and convenience, we can work with spare keys, garage codes, or lockbox systems. Our team members are bonded and insured, and we maintain strict protocols for accessing homes. We’ll text you when we arrive and when we finish, so you always know the status of your cleaning.
If you prefer to be home during the first cleaning to show us around and discuss your preferences, that’s perfectly fine too. Some clients enjoy being present initially to point out specific areas of focus or explain their routines. After that first visit, most people find it convenient to be away during cleaning, allowing our team to work efficiently without disrupting your daily activities.
For regular weekly or bi-weekly service, we typically recommend scheduling at least a week in advance to secure your preferred day and time. However, we understand that life in The Port can be unpredictable with academic schedules, research deadlines, and family demands.
We offer same-day and next-day cleaning for urgent situations—whether you have unexpected guests coming, need post-party cleanup, or require emergency cleaning for any reason. While we can’t guarantee immediate availability for same-day requests, we do our best to accommodate urgent needs when possible.
For special services like deep cleaning, move-in/move-out cleaning, or holiday preparation, we suggest booking 1-2 weeks ahead, especially during busy seasons. Our flexible scheduling means we can often work around your timeline, including early morning or late afternoon appointments that fit around work and family commitments. The key is communicating your needs as soon as possible so we can find a solution that works.
We carry comprehensive liability insurance and bonding specifically to protect your belongings and give you peace of mind. In the rare event that something is damaged during our cleaning service, we take full responsibility and work quickly to resolve the situation.
Our first step is always to assess whether the item can be repaired. If restoration is possible, we’ll arrange for professional repair at no cost to you. For items that cannot be repaired, our insurance covers replacement with comparable items. We handle all the paperwork and communication with insurance companies, so you don’t have to deal with the hassle.
Prevention is our priority, which is why our team is trained to handle delicate items, antiques, and valuable belongings with extra care. We’ll always ask about fragile or precious items during our initial walkthrough and take appropriate precautions. Our decade of experience serving The Port area means we understand the types of items common in local homes and how to protect them properly.
