Hear from Our Customers
You walk into a home that smells clean without the chemical burn. Baseboards are actually wiped down. The corners behind the toilet aren’t ignored. Your countertops shine, and you’re not finding dust on the ceiling fan blades three days later.
That’s what happens when someone takes the time to do it thoroughly. No rushing through rooms to hit a quota. No cutting corners because the next appointment is in twenty minutes.
You get your weekends back. You stop feeling guilty about the bathroom you’ve been meaning to scrub for two weeks. And if you have kids or pets, you’re not wondering what’s in the spray bottle that just got used on the floor where they play.
The difference is in what doesn’t get missed. Most cleaning services do the obvious stuff. The real test is whether they catch the things you’d catch if you had the time and energy to do it yourself.
We’ve been working in Strawberry Hill and throughout Cambridge for over a decade. We’re a family-run operation, which means the people who answer the phone actually care whether you’re happy with the work.
Most of our clients are professionals with families, people who value their time and their home investment. Strawberry Hill homes aren’t cookie-cutter apartments. They’re well-maintained properties with hardwood floors, custom finishes, and details that deserve careful attention.
We use eco-friendly products because that’s what makes sense for homes with kids, pets, and people who care about what they’re breathing. And we’re insured, which shouldn’t be a selling point but somehow still is in this industry.
You reach out for a free estimate. We’ll ask about your space, what you need cleaned, and how often. If you’re doing a move-in or move-out cleaning, we’ll talk about timing and any specific requirements from your landlord or realtor.
We give you a flat rate. No surprises, no hourly charges that creep up because someone worked slower than expected. You know what you’re paying before we show up.
On cleaning day, we arrive with our own supplies and equipment. We follow a deep cleaning checklist that covers everything from high-touch surfaces to the spots most people forget. Baseboards, light switches, cabinet fronts, window sills, behind appliances if they’re movable.
For recurring maid services, we adjust the checklist based on your schedule. Weekly clients don’t need the same intensity as monthly clients. We’re not trying to upsell you on frequency you don’t need.
When we’re done, we do a walkthrough. If something’s not right, we fix it before we leave. That’s the standard.

Every cleaning covers kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas. That means counters, sinks, toilets, tubs, showers, floors, dusting, vacuuming, and mopping. We clean inside microwaves and ovens if requested. We’ll wipe down cabinet fronts, baseboards, and door frames.
For move-in and move-out cleaning, we go deeper. Inside cabinets and drawers, inside the fridge, window tracks, closet shelving, and any areas that need extra attention for a security deposit or new tenant.
In Strawberry Hill, where many homes have original hardwood floors and older architectural details, we’re careful about what products we use and how we clean. Harsh chemicals can damage finishes. Rough scrubbing can scratch surfaces. We’ve seen enough homes in this neighborhood to know what works and what doesn’t.
Recurring services can be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. You’re not locked into a contract. If your schedule changes or you need to skip a cleaning, just let us know. We also offer one-time deep cleans if you’re hosting family, recovering from a renovation, or just need a reset.
Yes. We bring everything needed for the job, including eco-friendly cleaning products, vacuums, mops, and microfiber cloths. You don’t need to provide anything unless you have specific products you prefer we use.
If you have allergies or sensitivities to certain ingredients, let us know ahead of time. We can adjust what we bring. Same goes if you have special finishes or surfaces that require particular care, like marble countertops or unsealed wood.
Most clients in Strawberry Hill prefer we use our own supplies because they trust what we’ve chosen. Our products are non-toxic, safe for kids and pets, and effective enough that we don’t need to use harsh chemicals to get results. If you want to see ingredient lists or product names before we come, we’re happy to share that information.
It depends on the size of your home, the type of cleaning, and how often you need service. We provide free estimates so you know the exact cost before booking.
For a standard residential cleaning in Strawberry Hill, most homes fall within a predictable range based on square footage and number of bathrooms. A two-bedroom apartment will cost less than a four-bedroom house. A deep clean or move-out cleaning costs more than a maintenance clean because it takes more time and covers more areas.
We use flat-rate pricing, not hourly. That means you’re not penalized if the job takes longer than expected, and you’re not left guessing what the final bill will be. Once we give you a quote and you approve it, that’s what you pay. The only time the price changes is if you add services mid-job or if the scope of work is significantly different than what was discussed during the estimate.
A regular cleaning maintains what’s already clean. A deep clean addresses what’s been building up over time.
Regular cleaning covers the surfaces you use daily. Counters, sinks, toilets, floors, dusting, vacuuming. It’s maintenance. If you’re getting cleaned every week or two, this is usually sufficient because dirt and grime don’t have time to accumulate.
Deep cleaning goes further. Baseboards get scrubbed, not just wiped. We clean inside the oven and microwave. We pull out the fridge and clean behind it if accessible. Light fixtures get detailed. Grout gets attention. Window tracks, door frames, cabinet fronts, and all the spots that get missed during regular cleaning are addressed.
Most people need a deep clean when they first start service, after a long period without professional cleaning, or before a major event. After that, regular cleanings keep things maintained. If you’re doing move-in or move-out cleaning, that’s essentially a deep clean because landlords and new tenants expect everything to be spotless.
Yes. We carry full liability insurance and are bonded, which protects both you and us if something unexpected happens.
Insurance matters more than most people realize until they need it. If we accidentally damage something in your home, insurance covers the repair or replacement. If someone gets injured on your property during a cleaning, the coverage handles that too.
Being bonded adds another layer of protection. It means if there’s theft or property loss connected to our service, you’re covered. It’s rare, but it’s why we maintain bonding even though it costs us more to operate.
In Strawberry Hill, where home values are high and many properties have valuable finishes and furnishings, this isn’t optional. You’re letting someone into your home. You should know they’re properly insured and that you’re not taking on liability if something goes wrong. Always ask for proof of insurance before hiring any cleaning service, and make sure the policy is current.
For regular recurring service, we can usually get you scheduled within a week. For one-time or move-out cleanings, it depends on the season and our current schedule.
If you’re flexible on timing, we can almost always fit you in quickly. If you need a specific date, especially during busy periods like end-of-month move-outs or before major holidays, book as early as possible. Two weeks’ notice is ideal for time-sensitive jobs.
For move-in and move-out cleaning in Strawberry Hill, where rental turnover is common, we recommend reaching out as soon as you know your move date. Landlords and property managers often have tight windows between tenants, and waiting until the last minute can mean settling for whatever time slot is available instead of the one that works best for your schedule.
If you’re starting recurring maid services, we’ll work with you to find a consistent day and time that fits your routine. Most clients prefer the same day each week or every other week so it becomes part of their schedule.
That’s completely fine. Many of our clients in Strawberry Hill aren’t home during their scheduled cleaning. You can leave a key, give us a door code, or arrange another way for us to access your home.
We understand that trusting someone in your home while you’re not there is a big deal. That’s why we’ve been doing this for over ten years with the same careful approach. We lock up when we leave, and we treat your space with the same respect we’d want for our own.
If you prefer to be home, that works too. Some clients like to be there for the first cleaning to show us around and point out any specific areas of concern. After that, most people go about their day and come home to a clean house.
For move-out cleanings, we often work with landlords or property managers who provide access. As long as we can get in and you’ve communicated any special instructions, we’ll take care of the rest. If there’s an issue or question while we’re working, we’ll call or text you.
