Hear from Our Customers
You know that feeling when you walk into a hotel room? Everything’s exactly where it should be, surfaces actually shine, and you can breathe easier. That’s what we deliver to your Porter Square home, week after week.
No more spending Saturday mornings scrubbing when you could be exploring Harvard Square or relaxing at Danehy Park. No more that nagging stress about baseboards and bathroom grout. We handle the housekeeping so you can handle everything else that matters.
Your home becomes the sanctuary it’s supposed to be. Clean enough for unexpected guests. Healthy enough for your family. Maintained well enough that you never have to think about it.
We’re the family-run cleaning company that Porter Square professionals trust when they need it done right. For over a decade, we’ve been the team that shows up on time, uses products that won’t make your kids or pets sick, and cleans like we’re preparing for our own mother-in-law’s visit.
Porter Square residents know quality when they see it. With Harvard and MIT practically next door, this neighborhood doesn’t settle for half-measures. Neither do we. We use eco-friendly, non-toxic products that clean thoroughly without leaving chemical residues behind.
What sets us apart isn’t just our attention to detail—it’s that we actually listen. You tell us about the dog hair under the couch, the soap scum in the guest bathroom, or the kitchen chaos from your teenager’s cooking experiments. We remember. We handle it.
We start with a free estimate at your Porter Square home. No pressure, no sales pitch—just a walkthrough where we listen to what you need and give you straight pricing. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
Once we’re on your schedule, we show up when we say we will. Our team brings all supplies and equipment, focusing on the areas that matter most to your daily life. Kitchen deep-cleaned. Bathrooms sanitized. Floors that actually feel clean underfoot.
We work systematically through your home, room by room, using our proven process that catches the details other services miss. Baseboards, light switches, door frames—the spots where dust and grime actually live. When we’re done, we do a final walkthrough to make sure everything meets our standards before we leave.

Every cleaning includes kitchen deep-clean with appliance surfaces, countertops, and cabinet fronts wiped down. Bathrooms get the full treatment—toilets, showers, mirrors, and floors that feel genuinely clean. All floors vacuumed or mopped, depending on surface type.
We dust furniture, clean light switches and door handles, and empty trash throughout your home. Beds made if you prefer. Special requests like interior windows or refrigerator cleaning handled when needed.
Porter Square homes deal with unique challenges. Dust from constant T station foot traffic. Grime from city living. The construction and renovation projects that seem endless in Cambridge. Our regular house cleaning process accounts for this reality, focusing extra attention on high-traffic areas and surfaces that collect urban dust and debris.
Most of our Porter Square clients schedule bi-weekly or weekly service, depending on their household size and lifestyle. If you have pets, kids, or entertain frequently, weekly cleaning keeps things consistently manageable.
Bi-weekly works well for smaller households or those who do light maintenance between visits. We’re flexible with scheduling changes too—if you have guests coming or need to skip a week, just let us know.
The key is finding a rhythm that works for your life. Porter Square professionals often prefer consistent service because it means never having to think about deep cleaning again.
Absolutely. We use eco-friendly, non-toxic products exclusively because we know Porter Square families care about what they’re exposing their loved ones to. No harsh chemicals, no lingering fumes, no residues that could harm curious toddlers or pets.
Our products clean effectively without compromising safety. You’ll notice your home smells fresh and clean, not like a chemical factory. This is especially important in smaller Cambridge homes where ventilation can be limited.
We’ve been using these family-safe products for over ten years with excellent results. Your family’s health and safety aren’t negotiable, and our product choices reflect that commitment.
We’re locally owned and operated, which means when you call, you’re talking to people who live and work in this community. We understand Porter Square homes, from the older buildings near the square to the newer developments.
Our attention to detail sets us apart. We don’t rush through your home checking boxes—we clean like it’s our own space. Customers consistently tell us we’re the first service that actually cleans baseboards, wipes down light switches, and remembers their specific requests week after week.
Being family-run means we’re accountable to you personally, not to some corporate office. If something isn’t right, we make it right immediately. No bureaucracy, no passing the buck.
Pricing depends on your home’s size, frequency of service, and specific needs, which is why we offer free estimates. We visit your Porter Square home, discuss what you need, and give you transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
Most of our clients find our rates competitive with other quality services in Cambridge, but with better consistency and attention to detail. We’re not the cheapest option—we’re the best value when you consider reliability, thoroughness, and peace of mind.
We offer flexible payment options and can adjust service frequency if your budget or needs change. The goal is finding a cleaning plan that works for your life and budget long-term.
Not at all. Most of our Porter Square clients prefer to be out while we clean—it’s one less thing to coordinate in your busy schedule. We’re fully insured and bonded, so you can trust us in your home.
We’ll work with you to establish a key exchange system that works for your situation. Many clients leave keys with trusted neighbors, use lockboxes, or provide temporary access codes for smart locks.
If you prefer to be home initially to show us around and discuss your preferences, that’s perfectly fine too. After the first few cleanings, most clients are comfortable with us working independently. We always text when we arrive and when we’re finished.
We guarantee our work, period. If something doesn’t meet your expectations, call us within 24 hours and we’ll return to fix it at no charge. This rarely happens because we’re thorough the first time, but your satisfaction is non-negotiable.
Being a family-owned business means our reputation depends on every single client being happy. We can’t afford to have unsatisfied customers, so we make sure the job is done right from the start.
Most issues are simple communication problems—maybe we missed a specific area you care about or didn’t understand a particular preference. We listen, learn, and adjust our approach to match exactly what you need. Your feedback makes us better.
