You’re not looking for someone to just push dirt around. You need your baseboards scrubbed, your kitchen actually sanitized, and your bathroom cleaned like you’d do it yourself—if you had the time and energy.
That’s what happens here. You come home to floors you can walk barefoot on, counters you’d eat off of, and air that doesn’t smell like fake lemon or bleach. Your weekends stay yours. Your stress drops. And if you’ve got kids crawling around or a dog that licks everything, you don’t have to worry about what’s been sprayed where.
This isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about giving you a home that feels clean, not just looks it. The kind of clean where you’re not embarrassed when someone drops by unannounced.
We’ve been serving Assembly Square and the surrounding Somerville area for over ten years. We’re a family-run business, which means we answer the phone, we show up on time, and we actually care if you’re happy with the work.
Assembly Square is a mix of modern apartments, busy professionals, and families trying to balance work and life in a dense urban setting. We get it because we live here too. You’re not hiring a corporate franchise with rotating staff—you’re hiring people who know this neighborhood and the kind of cleaning it takes to keep up with Mystic River humidity, city dust, and the wear that comes with high-traffic living.
We use eco-friendly products that are safe for your kids, your pets, and the planet. And we don’t miss spots. That’s the standard.
First, you reach out. We’ll ask a few questions about your space—square footage, how many bedrooms and bathrooms, what kind of cleaning you’re looking for. Deep clean? Move-in or move-out? Recurring maid service? We give you a free estimate based on your actual needs, not some inflated quote we plan to negotiate down later.
Once you’re ready to book, we work around your schedule. You tell us when works, and we show up on time with our own supplies—all eco-friendly, all safe for your family. We bring everything. You don’t need to prep or buy anything.
During the clean, we follow a deep cleaning checklist that covers the stuff most people skip. Baseboards. Light switches. Door frames. Underneath appliances. Inside microwaves. We’re not just surface-wiping. When we’re done, we do a walkthrough to make sure everything meets the standard. If something’s not right, we fix it before we leave. You shouldn’t have to ask twice.

Every cleaning covers the essentials: kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, and floors. But we also handle the details that separate real cleaning from rushed cleaning. That means wiping down cabinet fronts, scrubbing grout, dusting ceiling fans, and cleaning inside your fridge if you want it done.
For move-in and move-out cleaning, we go even deeper. You’re dealing with a security deposit or trying to make a good first impression in a new place—we treat it that way. Walls get spot-cleaned. Closets get wiped down. Appliances get degreased. It’s the kind of clean that passes inspection.
If you’re setting up recurring maid services, we adjust based on how you live. Homes with pets need more frequent vacuuming and odor control. Families with young kids need non-toxic products and attention to high-touch surfaces. Assembly Square apartments deal with a lot of foot traffic and urban dust, especially near Assembly Row, so we factor that in. You’re not getting a one-size-fits-all approach. You’re getting a clean that matches your life.
We also carry cleaning service insurance, which matters more than most people realize. If something breaks or gets damaged, you’re covered. No runaround. That’s part of doing this the right way.
We use non-toxic, plant-based cleaners that don’t contain harsh chemicals like ammonia, bleach, or synthetic fragrances. These products are safe for kids who put their hands on everything and pets who lick floors and furniture. They’re also better for anyone with asthma, allergies, or chemical sensitivities.
The cleaners we use are EPA Safer Choice certified, which means they’ve been tested and verified to meet strict safety standards. They clean just as effectively as traditional products—sometimes better—because they’re designed to break down dirt and bacteria without relying on toxic ingredients. You won’t smell that fake “clean” scent that’s really just covering up chemicals. Your home will just smell like… nothing. Which is what clean actually smells like.
If you’ve had bad experiences with green products in the past, we get it. Some don’t work. Ours do. We’ve tested them in real homes for years, including our own.
It depends on the size of your home and what condition it’s in, but most deep cleanings for a two-bedroom apartment in Assembly Square run between $200 and $350. Larger homes or spaces that haven’t been deep cleaned in a while will cost more because they take more time.
We give free estimates, so you’ll know the exact price before we start. No hidden fees. No upselling once we arrive. The estimate factors in square footage, number of bathrooms, whether you have pets, and any specific requests like inside the oven or inside cabinets.
If you’re comparing prices, keep in mind that cheaper isn’t always better. You’re paying for thoroughness, safety, and reliability. A $100 cleaning might sound great until they skip half your baseboards and use products that make your dog sick. We price fairly for the level of work we do, and we don’t cut corners to hit a lower number.
No. We bring everything—cleaners, tools, vacuums, mops, microfiber cloths, scrub brushes, the works. You don’t need to buy anything or have supplies ready. That’s part of the service.
All of our equipment is professional-grade and maintained regularly. We don’t show up with a grocery store spray bottle and a sponge. Our vacuums have HEPA filters to trap allergens instead of blowing them back into your air. Our mops are clean and disinfected between jobs. Our cloths are color-coded so we’re not using the same one on your toilet and your kitchen counter.
If you have a preference—like you want us to use your vacuum because it’s specialized, or you have a specific product you love—we can work with that. Just let us know ahead of time. But for 99% of jobs, we’ve got it covered.
A move-out cleaning is more intensive. It’s designed to get your security deposit back or prepare a property for new tenants, so we clean things that don’t get touched during regular service. That includes inside all cabinets and drawers, inside the oven and refrigerator, baseboards in every room, window sills, door frames, light fixtures, and closet interiors.
We also focus on areas landlords and property managers inspect closely: grout lines, behind appliances, inside bathroom exhaust fans, and any scuff marks on walls. If something’s dirty and visible, we address it. The goal is to leave the place looking like nobody ever lived there.
A regular deep clean covers all the main living areas thoroughly—kitchens, bathrooms, floors, dusting—but doesn’t usually include things like inside cabinets unless you request it. It’s meant to reset your home and get it to a maintainable level of clean. Both are thorough. Move-out cleaning just goes a few steps further because the stakes are higher.
Most families in Assembly Square do bi-weekly or weekly service, depending on how much traffic the home gets. If you have kids, pets, or a lot of people coming and going, weekly makes sense. You stay ahead of the mess instead of constantly catching up. If it’s just you or a couple with no pets, bi-weekly is usually enough to keep things manageable.
Monthly service works if you’re already pretty tidy and just need help with the deeper tasks like scrubbing bathrooms and mopping floors. It’s maintenance, not recovery. But if you let things go for a month and then expect a full reset, that’s really more of a deep clean than a recurring service.
The right frequency depends on your life. We’ll ask questions during your free estimate to help you figure out what makes sense. And you can always adjust. If you start with bi-weekly and realize you need weekly, we’ll switch it. No long-term contracts or penalties.
Yes, we carry full cleaning service insurance, including liability and workers’ compensation. That protects you if something gets broken and protects our team if someone gets injured on the job. It’s non-negotiable for us, even though plenty of cleaners skip it to save money.
If something does get damaged—and in ten years it’s rare, but it happens—we handle it directly. You file a claim, we work with our insurance, and you get compensated. No lawyers. No runaround. We’ve built our reputation on being reliable and accountable, and that includes when things go wrong.
A lot of people don’t think to ask about insurance until after there’s a problem. By then it’s too late. The fact that we bring it up first should tell you how seriously we take this. You’re letting someone into your home. You should know we’re covered.
