Hear from Our Customers
You stop spending Saturday mornings scrubbing bathrooms. The mental checklist that runs on loop—dust the living room, mop the kitchen, wipe down the counters—finally goes quiet.
Your home stays clean between our visits because we handle the deep work. You’re not just maintaining anymore. You’re living in a space that feels lighter, smells better, and doesn’t trigger that low-grade anxiety every time you walk through the door.
And when your kids ask to have friends over, you say yes without scanning the house first. That’s the shift. Less time managing your home, more energy for the people in it.
Clarita’s Cleaning is a family-run business that’s been serving Somerville and surrounding communities for more than ten years. We’re not a franchise with rotating crews—you get the same vetted professionals who know how you like things done.
We use plant-based, non-toxic products because we clean homes with kids, pets, and people who actually live there. No harsh fumes, no mystery chemicals, just effective cleaning that doesn’t come with a side of respiratory irritation.
Somerville families are busy. Between Davis Square meetups, winter farmers markets, and juggling Tufts schedules or Boston commutes, your home becomes the thing that waits. We get it. That’s why we offer flexible scheduling and free estimates—because you shouldn’t have to rearrange your life to get help with your house.
First, you reach out for a free estimate. We ask about your space, what you need cleaned, and how often. No pressure, no upselling—just a straightforward conversation about what makes sense for your home and budget.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we schedule a time that works with your routine. Our team shows up on time, brings all the supplies, and gets to work. We handle room-specific detailing—baseboards, ceiling fans, behind appliances, the spots most people skip.
After we’re done, you walk into a home that feels reset. If something’s not right, we come back and fix it. We don’t consider the job finished until you’re satisfied. That’s been our standard for ten years, and it’s why families keep calling us back.
Ready to get started?
Every service includes kitchen cleaning—counters, sinks, stovetops, exteriors of appliances, and floors. We wipe down cabinet fronts and get the crumbs out of those weird corners where they always collect.
Bathrooms get scrubbed: toilets, tubs, showers, sinks, mirrors, and floors. We focus on allergen reduction, especially in high-traffic areas where dust, pet dander, and pollen accumulate. If you’ve got someone in the house with allergies or asthma, this makes a noticeable difference.
Living areas and bedrooms get dusted, vacuumed, and straightened. We do residential organizing if you want help with clutter, and we offer holiday prep cleaning when you’re expecting guests and need the house guest-ready fast. Somerville homes—especially the older triple-deckers and multi-family units around Union Square and Spring Hill—collect dust quickly. We know how to handle the quirks of these spaces, from narrow staircases to radiator grates that haven’t been cleaned in years.
Pricing depends on the size of your home, how much work is involved, and how often you want us to come. Most residential cleaning services in Somerville run between $120 and $300 per visit for a standard home.
We offer free estimates, so you’ll know the exact cost before we start. No hidden fees, no surprise charges. If your home needs extra attention the first time—like a deep clean or post-renovation work—that’ll cost more upfront, but regular maintenance visits are typically lower.
If you’re comparing prices, keep in mind that the cheapest option usually means rushed work, inconsistent crews, or harsh chemicals. You’re not just paying for someone to show up. You’re paying for thoroughness, safety, and reliability.
Yes. We use plant-based, non-toxic cleaning products that are effective without the health risks that come with traditional cleaners.
Most conventional products contain ammonia, chlorine, or phthalates—chemicals that can trigger asthma, allergies, and skin reactions, especially in kids. We skip all that. Our products are tough on dirt and safe for the people and animals who live in your home.
If you’ve got specific sensitivities or preferences, let us know. We’re flexible and can adjust what we use based on your needs. The goal is a clean home that doesn’t come with a chemical hangover.
No. Most of our clients aren’t home when we clean. You can leave a key, give us a code, or arrange another way for us to get in.
We’re insured, and our team has been vetted. People trust us in their homes when they’re at work, picking up kids, or just out running errands. If you’d rather be there the first time to walk us through what you want, that’s fine too.
After the first visit, most people prefer to come home to a clean house rather than be there while we’re working. It’s one less thing to coordinate, and you get to enjoy the results without watching the process.
It depends on your household. Families with kids and pets usually benefit from weekly or bi-weekly cleanings because the mess accumulates faster. If it’s just you or you’re generally tidy, every three to four weeks might be enough.
Most Somerville clients we work with go bi-weekly. It keeps the house manageable without feeling like a constant expense. You’re not drowning in chores, but you’re also not paying for help you don’t need.
If you’re not sure, start with one deep clean and then move to a maintenance schedule. We’ll help you figure out what makes sense based on how your home actually gets used.
We come back and fix it. If something wasn’t cleaned the way you expected, let us know within 24 hours and we’ll return to make it right at no extra cost.
We’ve been doing this for over a decade, and our reputation is built on being thorough. But if we miss something or if your expectations weren’t clear the first time, we want the chance to correct it.
This isn’t a “too bad, you already paid” situation. We don’t consider the job done until you’re satisfied. That’s been our policy since day one, and it’s one of the reasons clients keep coming back.
Both. If you need a one-time deep clean before hosting guests, after a renovation, or just to reset your space, we handle that. If you want ongoing help, we can set up a recurring schedule that works with your routine.
One-time cleanings are great for holiday prep cleaning or move-in/move-out situations. Recurring services are better if you want to stay ahead of the mess without thinking about it. Most people start with a single visit and then decide if they want regular help.
Either way, there’s no contract locking you in. You’re in control of how often we come and when you need us. We’re here when you need the help, not when some arbitrary schedule says it’s time.
