You’re spending 30 to 45 minutes commuting to work. You’re managing a career, a household, maybe kids or pets. The last thing you want to do on Saturday is scrub baseboards.
Here’s what changes when you have a cleaning service you can actually count on. You stop feeling behind. You stop apologizing to guests about the state of your kitchen. You walk into a clean home and it stays that way without eating your entire weekend.
That’s not luxury. That’s just getting your time back so you can use it the way you want to. And if you’ve got young kids or pets in the house, you’re not wondering what’s in the spray bottle we used on your counters. You know it’s safe because we only use eco-friendly products that won’t make anyone sick.
Clarita’s Cleaning is a family-run business that’s been serving homes and businesses in Magoun Square, Somerville, and Medford for more than ten years. We’re not a franchise with rotating subcontractors. We’re local, and we’ve built our reputation on being the people who actually show up and don’t cut corners.
Most of our clients are professionals like you. People who work hard, value their time, and expect the service they pay for to be done right. We get that because we live and work in the same community. When you call, you’re talking to someone who knows this area and understands what matters to people here.
We offer free estimates, flexible scheduling, and the kind of consistency that’s hard to find in this industry. You shouldn’t have to chase down your cleaning service or wonder if we’re going to show up. That’s the baseline, and we clear it every time.
First, you reach out for a free estimate. We’ll ask about your space, what you need cleaned, and how often. If you’re doing a one-time deep cleaning or a move-in/move-out cleaning, we’ll talk through what that includes. If you want recurring maid services, we’ll figure out a schedule that works with your life.
Once we’re booked, we show up on time with everything we need. That includes our own eco-friendly cleaning products, so you don’t have to stock anything or worry about what’s being used in your home. We go room by room with a deep cleaning checklist that covers the things most services skip—baseboards, light switches, door frames, the tops of cabinets.
After we’re done, you do a walkthrough. If something’s not right, we fix it before we leave. No back-and-forth, no excuses. And if you’re setting up recurring service, you’ll get the same level of attention every single time. That’s how we’ve kept clients for years—they know what to expect, and we deliver it.
Ready to get started?
Every cleaning covers the basics—floors, surfaces, bathrooms, kitchens. But we don’t stop there. We’re wiping down baseboards, cleaning inside microwaves, scrubbing grout, and getting the spots most people miss. If it’s part of your home, it’s part of the job.
For move-in or move-out cleaning, we go deeper. That means inside cabinets, inside appliances, window sills, closet floors—the works. It’s the kind of clean that helps you get your deposit back or makes a new place feel like yours from day one.
If you’ve got specific concerns—allergies, asthma, pets, kids—we adjust. All of our products are non-toxic and safe for families. And if you’ve got cleaning service insurance questions or want to know what’s covered if something breaks, we’ll walk you through that upfront. Transparency matters, especially in a neighborhood like Magoun Square where people expect professionalism and follow-through.
You’re not getting a different crew every week or wondering if the person cleaning your home is insured. We handle that, so you don’t have to think about it.
It depends on the size of your home, how much needs to be done, and how often you want service. A standard cleaning for a two-bedroom home usually runs between $120 and $180. Deep cleaning or move-in/move-out cleaning costs more because it takes longer and covers more ground.
We don’t do fuzzy pricing or surprise charges. When we give you a free estimate, that’s what you’ll pay unless you add something new to the scope. If you’re comparing us to other services, know that we’re not the cheapest option in Somerville—and that’s intentional. You’re paying for people who show up on time, use quality products, and don’t miss things.
Recurring maid services usually cost less per visit because we’re maintaining a baseline instead of starting from scratch every time. If you want a clear number, just reach out. We’ll give you one based on your actual home, not a generic quote.
Yes, we only use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products. And yes, it matters—especially if you’ve got kids, pets, or anyone in your household dealing with allergies or asthma.
A lot of traditional cleaning products contain harsh chemicals that linger in the air and on surfaces long after we leave. That’s fine if you’re cleaning an empty office, but it’s not something you want in a home where people are eating, sleeping, and spending time. The products we use are just as effective without the fumes or residue.
This is a bigger deal in areas like Magoun Square where a lot of families live in close quarters—condos, apartments, multi-family homes. Ventilation isn’t always great, and chemical smells can stick around. We’ve had clients switch to us specifically because their old service left their home smelling like bleach for days. That’s not necessary, and it’s not safe.
Regular cleaning maintains what’s already in decent shape. Deep cleaning resets everything. If you’re moving into a new place, haven’t had professional help in a while, or you’re preparing to sell or rent, deep cleaning is what you want.
Here’s what that looks like. Regular cleaning covers floors, counters, bathrooms, dusting, vacuuming—the visible stuff. Deep cleaning adds baseboards, inside appliances, cabinet fronts and interiors, window tracks, grout scrubbing, and all the spots that build up grime over time. It takes longer and costs more, but it’s the foundation that makes regular cleaning easier going forward.
Most of our recurring clients start with a deep clean, then move to weekly or biweekly maintenance. That way, we’re never playing catch-up. If you’re not sure which one you need, we’ll walk through your space during the estimate and give you an honest recommendation. There’s no point in paying for deep cleaning if regular service will do the job.
We show up. That sounds basic, but it’s the number one complaint people have about cleaning services—no-shows, last-minute reschedules, or crews that don’t communicate. We’ve built our business on being the opposite of that.
When we schedule you, that time is yours. If something truly unavoidable happens, we’ll let you know as soon as possible and reschedule at your convenience—not ours. But that’s rare. Most of our clients have had the same standing appointment for months or years without a single disruption.
We’re also insured, which means if something breaks or gets damaged, it’s covered. That’s not just about protecting you—it’s about showing that we take this seriously. You’re letting someone into your home. You should know who we are, that we’re accountable, and that we’re not going to leave you hanging. We’ve been doing this in Magoun Square and the surrounding area for over a decade. Our reputation is everything, and we don’t take that lightly.
Yes. Consistency matters, and we get that. When you set up recurring maid services, we assign someone to your home and keep that arrangement unless you ask for a change.
That’s different from a lot of larger companies that rotate crews or use subcontractors. Those setups lead to inconsistent quality because no one’s building a relationship with your space. They don’t remember that you want the guest bathroom done a certain way or that your dog freaks out if someone moves his bed.
Our clients like knowing who’s coming and when. It builds trust, and it makes the service better because the cleaner learns your home. If you’ve got specific preferences—certain products you want us to avoid, rooms that need extra attention, things you want left alone—we remember that. It’s not written on a clipboard and handed to a stranger every week. It’s just part of how we do the job.
Absolutely. Move-in and move-out cleaning is one of the most requested services we offer, especially in Magoun Square where rental turnover is high and people are constantly buying and selling property.
Move-out cleaning is about getting your deposit back or leaving a property in good condition for the next owner. We clean inside all appliances, wipe down cabinets inside and out, scrub floors and baseboards, clean windows and sills, and handle anything else the landlord or buyer is going to inspect. It’s thorough because it has to be.
Move-in cleaning is about making a new place feel like yours before you unpack. Even if a place looks clean, it usually isn’t—not to the level you’d want before putting your stuff away. We reset everything so you’re starting fresh. That’s especially important if you’ve got kids or you’re sensitive to dust and allergens.
Both services can be scheduled on short notice if needed, and we’ll work around your move timeline. Just let us know what you’re dealing with, and we’ll make it happen.
