Hear from Our Customers
You walk into a home that smells clean, not like a chemical factory. Surfaces actually feel clean when you touch them. The bathroom doesn’t make you cringe. Kitchen counters are grease-free, not just wiped down.
That’s what happens when house cleaners show up who’ve been doing this for over a decade. You’re not managing a checklist or wondering if we’ll remember the baseboards. You’re getting time back and a home you’re not embarrassed to live in.
If you’ve dealt with allergies flaring up after a cleaning, or you’ve hired someone before who did an “okay” job but missed obvious spots, you know how frustrating it is. You want someone who gets it right the first time, uses products that won’t trigger your asthma, and doesn’t need you hovering to make sure they do what you paid for.
Clarita’s Cleaning is a family-run business serving East Somerville, Davis Square, Union Square, and the surrounding neighborhoods. We’re local—our team members live here, understand the triple-deckers, the older homes with quirky layouts, and what it takes to keep them actually clean.
We’re insured and bonded as required by Massachusetts law. Every cleaner on our team is background-checked and trained in our methods, which focus on thoroughness and using non-toxic products that won’t mess with your indoor air quality.
You’ll find us cleaning homes for busy professionals who can’t keep up, families with young kids who need safer products, and anyone dealing with allergies who’s tired of conventional cleaners making things worse. We’ve built our reputation on not missing things and showing up when we say we will.
You reach out for a free estimate. We ask about your home size, what rooms need attention, and if there are specific things you want handled—like allergen reduction, room-specific detailing, or holiday prep cleaning. No pressure, no contracts you’re locked into.
Once you book, we schedule a time that works with just two business days notice if you need to adjust. Our team shows up with eco-friendly, non-flammable products that are safe for kids and pets. We’re talking HEPA-filtered systems and plant-based cleaners, not harsh chemicals that give you a headache.
We work through your home methodically. Kitchens get degreased, not just surface-wiped. Bathrooms are disinfected properly. Floors are cleaned, baseboards are dusted, and we handle the details most people skip. If you’re dealing with allergies, we focus on dust removal and air quality.
After we’re done, you check the work. If something’s not right, we come back within 24 hours and fix it at no charge. That’s the satisfaction guarantee—not because we expect problems, but because we know you’re trusting us in your personal space.

Every cleaning covers the basics you’d expect—vacuuming, mopping, bathroom and kitchen cleaning. But we also handle the things that pile up and make your home feel dirty even when it looks “clean enough.” Dusty furniture, grimy grout, greasy stovetops, baseboards that haven’t been touched in months.
If you need residential organizing help, we can work with you on that. If you’re prepping for the holidays and want your home guest-ready, we do seasonal deep cleans. Move-in and move-out cleaning is another common request here in East Somerville, especially with the rental turnover in this area.
For families dealing with allergies or asthma, allergen reduction is a major focus. We use HEPA filtration and target dust, pet dander, and other triggers that conventional cleaning just pushes around. You’ll notice the difference in how your home feels and how much easier it is to breathe.
We also offer window cleaning, gutter cleaning, and commercial cleaning if you need those services. Flexible scheduling means you’re not locked into a rigid contract. You book when you need us, and we show up ready to work.
We use non-toxic, eco-friendly products that are non-flammable and allergen-free. These are plant-based cleaners, not the harsh chemical stuff that leaves your home smelling like a lab and gives you a headache an hour later.
If you have kids crawling on the floor, pets that lick surfaces, or anyone in your home with asthma or sensitivities, these products won’t trigger reactions. We also use HEPA-filtered vacuums to actually remove allergens instead of just stirring them up and spreading them around.
You don’t have to leave your home or air it out for hours after we’re done. It’s safe to be there immediately, and you’ll notice your home smells clean—not chemical.
Pricing depends on the size of your home, how often you want us to come, and what specific services you need. A standard cleaning for a typical East Somerville apartment or small home runs differently than a deep clean for a three-bedroom triple-decker that hasn’t been professionally cleaned in a year.
We offer free estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying before you commit. No hidden fees, no surprise charges. If you book recurring cleanings—like every two weeks or monthly—the rate is typically lower than one-time deep cleans.
The average rate for house cleaners in Somerville is around $23 per hour, but that varies based on the scope of work. We’re competitive, and more importantly, we’re thorough. You’re not paying for someone to rush through and miss half the job.
No, you don’t need to be there. A lot of our clients give us a key or leave one in a lockbox so we can work while they’re at their job or out running errands. We’re fully insured, bonded, and every team member is background-checked, so you can trust us in your space.
If you prefer to be home, that’s fine too. Some people like to be around the first time to show us specific things they want handled or just to see how we work. After that, most clients are comfortable letting us come and go.
We’ll lock up when we’re done and let you know the job’s complete. You come home to a clean house without having to manage the process or be there supervising.
If something’s not right, you call us within 24 hours and we come back to fix it at no charge. That’s the satisfaction guarantee. We’re not interested in taking your money and leaving you frustrated.
This rarely happens because our team is trained to be thorough and we’ve been doing this for over ten years. But if we miss something or if there’s a specific area you’re not happy with, we’ll make it right.
You’re not stuck hoping it’s better next time or writing off the money. We handle it immediately because we want you to actually be satisfied, not just say you are.
We ask for two business days notice, but if you need something sooner, reach out and we’ll see what we can do. Sometimes we have openings for same-day or next-day cleaning, especially if it’s an emergency situation like last-minute guests or a move-out deadline.
For recurring cleanings, once you’re on the schedule, we keep that time slot reserved for you. If you need to reschedule, just give us those two business days and we’ll adjust without any penalties or fees.
We’re flexible because we know life doesn’t always go according to plan. You shouldn’t have to jump through hoops or wait weeks just to get your home cleaned.
We can do room-specific detailing if that’s what you need. Maybe you just want the kitchen deep-cleaned or the bathrooms handled because those are the areas driving you crazy. We’ll work with you on that.
Whole-house cleaning is more common and usually more cost-effective per room, but we’re not going to force you into a package that doesn’t make sense for your situation. If you’re dealing with a specific problem area or prepping one part of your home for an event, we can focus there.
During the free estimate, we’ll talk through what you actually need and price it out accordingly. You’re only paying for the work that matters to you.
