Hear from Our Customers
You’re not looking for someone to just push dirt around. You need your home actually clean so you can stop thinking about it.
That means baseboards without dust. Grout that’s actually white. Kitchen surfaces you’d eat off of without hesitation. And enough time back in your week to do something other than scrub toilets on Saturday morning.
In Union Square, where 58% of residents rent and compact spaces collect grime faster than you’d think, a real deep cleaning isn’t a luxury. It’s the difference between losing your security deposit and getting it back. Between spending your weekend with a mop or spending it however you want.
When the cleaning’s done right, you walk into a home that feels lighter. You’re not mentally cataloging what still needs attention. You’re just living in a space that works for you instead of against you.
We’ve been serving Union Square and the greater Somerville area for over a decade. We’re a family-run operation, which means we answer our own phones and show up to the jobs ourselves.
What keeps people calling us back isn’t just that we clean. It’s that we use eco-friendly, non-toxic products that are safe around kids and pets. It’s that we’re bonded and insured. And it’s that customers consistently say we “don’t miss a single thing.”
Union Square moves fast. Your cleaning service shouldn’t slow you down with rescheduling, surprises, or half-finished work. We show up on time, do what we said we’d do, and leave your place cleaner than you’ve seen it in months.
First, you reach out for a free estimate. We’ll ask about your space, what kind of cleaning you need, and when you need it done. No pressure, no upselling—just a straightforward quote based on the actual work.
Once you book, we confirm the date and time that works for your schedule. We bring our own supplies, including the eco-friendly products we use on every job. You don’t need to prep anything or buy special cleaners.
On cleaning day, our team arrives on time and gets to work. We follow a deep cleaning checklist that covers everything from baseboards to ceiling fans. High-traffic areas get extra attention. Kitchens and bathrooms are disinfected properly, not just wiped down.
Before we leave, we do a walkthrough to make sure nothing was missed. If you’re not satisfied, we come back and make it right. That’s the guarantee. Most clients don’t need us to—but it’s there if you do.

Every cleaning includes the work that actually matters. Kitchens get scrubbed down: counters, sinks, stovetops, appliance exteriors, and cabinet fronts. We clean inside microwaves and ovens if that’s part of the scope. Floors are swept and mopped.
Bathrooms are disinfected completely. That means toilets, tubs, showers, sinks, mirrors, and tile. We get the grout lines and the corners where mildew hides. In Union Square’s older buildings, that attention to detail makes a real difference.
Living areas and bedrooms get dusted, vacuumed, and straightened. We hit baseboards, windowsills, light fixtures, and vents. If you’ve got hardwood floors common in Somerville homes, we treat them properly without harsh chemicals that damage the finish.
For move-in/move-out cleaning, we go deeper. That includes inside cabinets, closets, and appliances. We clean windows if requested. The goal is simple: get your space to the condition that satisfies a landlord’s inspection or makes your new place livable from day one.
We also offer recurring maid services if you want regular maintenance—weekly, biweekly, or monthly. You pick the frequency. We keep your home consistently clean so you’re never starting from scratch.
We use non-toxic, plant-based cleaners that are certified safe for kids, pets, and people with allergies or asthma. These aren’t watered-down solutions—they’re professional-grade products that cut through grease, kill bacteria, and remove stains without the harsh chemical smell or residue.
The difference you’ll notice is that your home smells clean, not like a cleaning product. There’s no lingering scent that irritates your throat or makes your eyes water. And if you have young kids who touch everything or pets that walk on floors we just mopped, you’re not worried about what they’re being exposed to.
Effectiveness isn’t compromised. We’ve been using eco-friendly products for years, and our results speak for themselves. Customers don’t call us back because we’re “green”—they call us back because their homes are actually cleaner.
Move-out cleaning pricing depends on the size of your space and its current condition. For a typical one-bedroom apartment in Union Square, expect to pay between $200-$350. Two-bedrooms usually run $300-$500. Larger units or homes cost more based on square footage and the scope of work.
If your lease requires specific tasks like carpet cleaning, window washing, or appliance deep-cleaning, those can be added. We give you a flat-rate quote upfront after asking a few questions about your space, so there’s no surprise billing.
Most renters in Union Square are trying to recover a security deposit that’s often $1,500-$2,500. Spending a few hundred on professional move-out cleaning significantly increases your chances of getting that full deposit back. Landlords and property managers have high standards, and DIY cleaning rarely meets them. We know what they’re looking for, and we make sure your place passes inspection.
No, you don’t need to be home. Many of our clients in Union Square give us access via a key, lockbox code, or building entry instructions and go about their day. We’re bonded and insured, so your home and belongings are protected.
If you prefer to be there, that’s completely fine too. Some people like to be around for the first cleaning to show us specific areas they want addressed or to see how we work. After that, most choose to be out—it’s easier to let us move through the space without working around you.
We’ll communicate before we arrive and after we’re done. If anything comes up during the job, we’ll reach out. Otherwise, you come home to a clean house without having to manage the process or make small talk while we’re working.
A deep cleaning for a typical Union Square apartment takes between three to six hours depending on size and condition. A one-bedroom might take three to four hours. A two-bedroom usually takes four to five hours. Larger spaces or homes that haven’t been deep cleaned in a while take longer.
We don’t rush. Deep cleaning means we’re getting into the details: scrubbing grout, wiping down baseboards, cleaning inside appliances, and hitting all the spots that regular cleaning skips. That takes time to do correctly.
If you’re booking a standard recurring cleaning after we’ve done the initial deep clean, those appointments are faster—usually two to three hours for most spaces. The deep clean sets the baseline. Maintenance cleanings keep it there without needing the same level of intensity every time.
If you’re not satisfied, you tell us, and we come back to fix it. That’s the guarantee. No argument, no runaround—we just make it right.
In ten years of business, we’ve built our reputation on being thorough the first time. Our teams follow a detailed checklist, and we do a walkthrough before we leave. But if something gets missed or doesn’t meet your expectations, we want to know about it.
Most cleaning companies in Somerville will say they guarantee their work. We actually follow through. You’re not paying for a service that’s “good enough.” You’re paying for a clean home, and if that’s not what you got, we’ll come back until it is.
We can often accommodate same-day cleaning requests depending on our schedule and the scope of work. If you call in the morning and need a cleaning that afternoon, there’s a chance we can make it happen—especially for smaller spaces or standard cleanings.
Emergency situations like last-minute move-outs, unexpected guests, or post-event cleanups are things we handle regularly in Union Square. The key is calling as soon as you know you need help. The earlier you reach out, the better our chances of fitting you in.
For guaranteed availability, booking a day or two in advance is ideal. But we understand that life doesn’t always give you that luxury. We’ll do what we can to help, and if we can’t make same-day work, we’ll get you scheduled for the next available slot that fits your timeline.
