Hear from Our Customers
You walk into a home that actually feels clean. Not just surface-level tidy, but the kind of clean where you notice the details—baseboards, corners, the spots most people skip.
That’s what happens when the team doing the work has been doing this for over a decade. We know what you’re looking for because we’ve heard it before. You want someone who shows up on time, uses products that won’t make your kids or pets sick, and doesn’t cut corners when you’re not watching.
You also want the process to be easy. One call, one estimate, one scheduled time. No back-and-forth. No surprises on the bill. Just a clean home and more time back in your week to do literally anything else.
Clarita’s Cleaning is a family-run business that’s been serving Ball Square and the surrounding Somerville area for over ten years. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured—not because it sounds good in an ad, but because you deserve protection and peace of mind when someone’s in your home.
We use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products. That matters here. Ball Square has a lot of young families, professionals with pets, and people who care about what’s in the air they breathe. We get that.
Our team doesn’t miss things. That’s the feedback we hear most. You’re not going to find dust in the same spot two weeks later or wonder if we actually cleaned the bathroom. If it’s part of the job, it gets done.
You reach out and we schedule a free estimate. No pressure, no upselling. We come to your place, walk through what you need, and give you a clear price.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we lock in a time that works for your schedule. Whether it’s a one-time deep cleaning, a move-in or move-out cleaning, or recurring maid services, we show up when we say we will.
Our team arrives with all the supplies and equipment. We bring our own eco-friendly products, so you don’t have to worry about stocking anything or wondering if what we’re using is safe. We work through the space methodically—room by room, surface by surface.
After we’re done, we do a walkthrough. You shouldn’t have to point out what got missed, because nothing should be missed. That’s the standard. If something’s not right, we handle it before we leave.
Ready to get started?
You get a full residential or commercial cleaning depending on what you need. That includes kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, and any other spaces you want handled. We also do gutter cleaning and window cleaning if that’s part of the job.
For move-in and move-out cleaning, we go deeper. Cabinets, appliances, baseboards, inside closets—the stuff that matters when you’re getting your security deposit back or preparing a home for new tenants. Ball Square has a lot of renters, and landlords here expect properties to be spotless between leases.
If you’re setting up recurring maid services, we build a routine that makes sense. Weekly, biweekly, monthly—whatever keeps your place in shape without you having to think about it. The same team comes each time, so we learn your space and your preferences.
Everything we use is family-safe and eco-friendly. No harsh chemicals, no toxic residue. That’s especially important in a neighborhood like Ball Square where a lot of households have young kids, pets, or people with sensitivities. We also carry full cleaning service insurance, so if something ever goes wrong, you’re covered.
We use non-toxic, plant-based cleaners that are certified safe for kids and pets. They don’t contain ammonia, bleach, or synthetic fragrances. A lot of people assume eco-friendly means weak, but that’s not the case anymore.
The products we use are designed to break down grease, kill bacteria, and remove buildup without the harsh chemicals. They’re effective because they’re formulated specifically for cleaning—not just labeled “green” for marketing. We’ve been using them for years across hundreds of homes in Ball Square and Somerville, and the results speak for themselves.
If you’ve had a bad experience with natural cleaners in the past, it was probably the product, not the concept. The right eco-friendly products work just as well as conventional ones, and you’re not left with that chemical smell or worrying about what your kids are touching after we leave.
It depends on the size of your home and what condition it’s in. A typical deep cleaning for a two-bedroom apartment in Ball Square usually runs between $200 and $350. Larger homes or places that haven’t been deep cleaned in a while will cost more because they take more time.
Deep cleaning is different from regular maintenance cleaning. We’re talking about scrubbing grout, wiping down baseboards, cleaning inside appliances, getting into corners and crevices that don’t get touched during a standard clean. It’s more labor-intensive, so it costs more upfront—but it also sets you up for easier maintenance going forward.
We always do a free estimate before quoting a final price. That way you know exactly what you’re paying for and there are no surprises. If your place needs less work than expected, the price reflects that. We’re not here to overcharge you for work that doesn’t need to be done.
No, you don’t. A lot of our clients in Ball Square aren’t home when we clean. They’re at work, running errands, or just prefer not to be there while we’re working. As long as we have access to your place, we’re good to go.
We’re fully bonded and insured, which means you’re protected if anything happens. We’ve been doing this for over ten years and we’ve built our reputation on being trustworthy. People let us into their homes because they know we’re not going to cut corners or create problems.
If you do want to be home, that’s fine too. Some people like to be there for the first cleaning so they can show us around and point out any specific areas they want us to focus on. After that, most people just leave us a key or give us the door code and let us handle it.
Everything. Move-out cleaning means we’re preparing the space for the next tenant or owner, so it has to be spotless. That includes all the standard stuff—floors, bathrooms, kitchens, windows—but we also clean inside cabinets, drawers, closets, and appliances.
We wipe down baseboards, light fixtures, and ceiling fans. We scrub sinks, tubs, and toilets until they look new. We clean the oven, microwave, and refrigerator inside and out. If there’s carpet, we vacuum thoroughly. If there are hard floors, we mop and make sure there’s no residue or scuff marks.
This level of cleaning matters in Ball Square because landlords here are strict about getting properties back in move-in condition. If the place isn’t clean, you’re risking your security deposit. We’ve helped a lot of renters get their full deposit back by making sure everything is handled before the final walkthrough. It’s worth the investment if it means you’re not losing hundreds of dollars.
Most people in Ball Square do biweekly or monthly cleanings. It depends on how much traffic your home gets and how much time you have to maintain it yourself. If you have kids, pets, or a busy work schedule, biweekly makes sense because it keeps things from piling up.
Monthly works if you’re generally tidy and just need someone to handle the deeper tasks you don’t get to—scrubbing bathrooms, mopping floors, dusting hard-to-reach spots. It’s enough to keep your home in good shape without feeling like overkill.
Weekly is less common unless you’re running a busy household or you just really value having a consistently clean space. Some clients do it because it’s one less thing to think about, and they like knowing their home is always guest-ready. We’re flexible, so if you want to start with one schedule and adjust later, that’s not a problem. We’re here to make your life easier, not lock you into something that doesn’t fit.
Yes. We carry general liability insurance, professional liability insurance, and workers’ compensation. We’re also bonded, which protects you if something goes missing or gets damaged while we’re working. That’s not just a nice-to-have—it’s a requirement if you want to work with most property managers or landlords in Massachusetts.
Being bonded and insured means you’re not taking on risk when you hire us. If one of our team members gets hurt on the job, our workers’ comp covers it. If we accidentally break something, our liability insurance handles it. You’re not stuck dealing with claims or out-of-pocket costs.
A lot of cleaning companies skip this because it costs money and requires paperwork. We don’t. It’s part of running a legitimate business and it’s part of what makes us a safe choice. When you’re letting someone into your home, you should know they’re covered. That’s just how it should be.
