Hear from Our Customers
You’re not looking for someone to just wipe down counters. You need your place actually clean—baseboards, corners, the spots most services skip. And if you’ve got kids or pets, you’re probably tired of wondering what’s in those bright blue bottles.
Here’s what changes: you stop spending your Saturday scrubbing. You stop worrying about whether your toddler is crawling through chemical residue. You get a home that feels clean without that sharp, fake “clean smell” that sticks in your throat.
We bring the supplies, handle the details, and use non-toxic products that actually work. No harsh fumes. No shortcuts. Just a thorough clean that lets you relax in your own space without the guilt or the weekend gone.
We’ve been serving Teele Square and the surrounding Somerville neighborhoods for over a decade. We’re not a franchise with rotating crews—we’re a family business that shows up, does the work, and doesn’t cut corners.
Our clients near Tufts, in Davis Square, and throughout the area keep coming back because we don’t miss things. We’re insured and bonded, which matters when you’re handing over keys. And we’re local, which means we understand the quirks of these old buildings—the narrow stairways, the wood floors, the radiators that collect dust you didn’t know existed.
You’re not getting a script or a sales pitch. You’re getting people who’ve been doing this long enough to know what actually needs attention.
It starts with a free estimate. You tell us what you need—whether it’s a one-time deep clean, a move-out scrub to get your security deposit back, or recurring maid service to keep things manageable. We give you a clear price. No hidden fees, no pressure.
Once you’re scheduled, we show up on time with everything we need. You don’t have to supply anything. We bring family-safe, eco-friendly products and professional equipment. Then we get to work—room by room, surface by surface, following a deep cleaning checklist that covers what you’d expect and plenty you wouldn’t think of.
When we’re done, you walk into a space that actually feels clean. If something’s not right, we’ll come back and fix it. Most of the time, though, clients tell us we went beyond what they expected. That’s the standard.

We handle residential cleaning for apartments, condos, and houses throughout Teele Square and Somerville. That includes kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas—the full place. We also do commercial cleaning for small businesses and offices that need reliable service without the corporate runaround.
If you’re moving, we specialize in move-in and move-out cleaning. In Boston’s rental market, where 65% of residents rent, getting your full security deposit back often comes down to how clean you leave the place. Most lease agreements require you to return the property in original condition, and landlords have high standards. Professional move-out cleaning significantly increases your chances of meeting those expectations. The average cost in Boston runs $186-$233, but it’s worth it when your deposit is on the line.
We also offer gutter cleaning, window cleaning, and house washing. Basically, if it needs cleaning and you don’t want to do it yourself, we’ve probably got you covered. And if you want recurring service—weekly, biweekly, monthly—we offer discounts that make regular maintenance more affordable than you’d think.
Yes, and we’re specific about what we use. Traditional cleaning products contain ammonia, chlorine, and phthalates—chemicals that trigger respiratory problems, allergies, and skin reactions. They generate 31,000 tons of hazardous waste annually. That’s not something you want lingering on floors where your toddler plays or surfaces your dog licks.
We use eco-friendly products with certifications like Safer Choice, Green Seal, Made Safe, and EWG Verified. These aren’t just marketing labels—they indicate products that have been tested and verified as less toxic for home use. They’re plant-derived, free from harsh chemicals, and they actually clean effectively. You don’t have to choose between a clean home and a safe one.
The global market for eco-friendly cleaning products is projected to reach $40.4 billion by 2026, growing at 9.4% annually. That’s not a trend—it’s a shift in how people think about what they bring into their homes. We made that shift years ago.
In the Boston area, professional move-out cleaning typically costs between $186 and $233, depending on the size of your place and its condition. That might sound like a lot until you remember that most security deposits in Somerville run $1,500 to $3,000 or more. Spending $200 to protect a $2,000 deposit makes financial sense.
Most lease agreements explicitly require you to return the property in its original condition. Landlords and property managers in this area have specific standards, and they will deduct from your deposit if those aren’t met. Hiring a professional cleaning service significantly increases your chances of getting your full deposit back because we know what they’re looking for—baseboards, inside cabinets, behind appliances, grout lines, window tracks.
We provide free estimates, so you’ll know exactly what it costs before we start. No surprises. And we’ve helped plenty of renters in Teele Square, Davis Square, and around Tufts get their deposits back in full.
Yes. Recurring service is one of the most popular options for busy professionals, students, and families in the area. You can schedule weekly, biweekly, or monthly cleanings, and we offer discounts that make regular maintenance more affordable than paying for one-off deep cleans every few months.
Here’s why it works: when we come regularly, your home never gets to the point where it needs hours of intensive scrubbing. We maintain it at a baseline level of clean, which takes less time and costs you less per visit. General estimates for cleaning services in the Boston area run $80-$120 per booking, and recurring clients often pay toward the lower end of that range.
You also get consistency. Same team, same standards, same products. We get familiar with your space and your preferences. And if your schedule changes, we’re flexible. Life happens—we adjust.
We’re not a franchise. We’re a family-owned business that’s been operating in this area for over ten years. That means you’re not getting a rotating crew of strangers every time—you’re getting experienced cleaners who know the local housing stock and what it requires.
Somerville and Teele Square have specific characteristics: old buildings with narrow stairways, wood floors that need gentle care, quirky layouts, architectural details that collect dust. We’ve cleaned hundreds of homes here. We know what we’re dealing with. Franchise operations like Merry Maids or The Cleaning Authority follow corporate systems that work nationwide but don’t always account for local nuances.
We’re also insured and bonded, which protects you and gives you peace of mind when you hand over keys. And because we’re local, we’re accountable. Our reputation is built on word-of-mouth in this community. We don’t have the luxury of doing mediocre work—we rely on clients coming back and referring their neighbors.
Regular cleaning covers the basics: vacuuming, mopping, wiping down surfaces, cleaning bathrooms and kitchens, dusting visible areas. It’s maintenance—keeping your place at a consistent level of clean. Deep cleaning goes further and takes longer.
A deep cleaning checklist includes baseboards, window sills, inside cabinets and drawers, behind and under appliances, light fixtures, ceiling fans, door frames, grout lines, vents, and other spots that don’t get touched during regular maintenance. It’s what you’d do before hosting a big event or after a long winter of closed windows and tracked-in salt.
Most clients start with a deep clean to get everything to baseline, then switch to recurring regular cleanings to maintain it. If you’re moving in or moving out, deep cleaning is usually required—it’s what landlords and property managers expect. We bring a checklist and work through it methodically so nothing gets missed.
No. We bring everything—products, equipment, tools. You don’t need to stock up on anything or worry about whether you have the right supplies. That’s part of what you’re paying for: convenience and professional-grade results.
We use our own eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products that are safe for children and pets. If you have specific preferences or allergies, let us know and we’ll accommodate. Some clients prefer we use their products for certain surfaces, and that’s fine—we’re flexible.
Our equipment is professional-grade and maintained regularly. We’re not showing up with a grocery-store spray bottle and a worn-out sponge. We have what we need to do the job right, and we take it with us when we leave. Your job is to enjoy a clean home. Ours is to make that happen without adding to your to-do list.
