You’re not looking for someone to push dirt around. You need your home actually clean—the kind of clean where you’re not rewinding in your head wondering if we skipped the baseboards or just wiped around the clutter.
That’s what you get here. Every surface, every corner, every spot that collects dust when you’re too busy living your life. We use eco-friendly products that won’t leave residue on the counters where your kids eat breakfast or irritate your dog’s paws. And we show up when we say we will.
You’ll come home to a house that feels lighter. Counters you can actually see. Floors you don’t cringe walking barefoot on. A bathroom you’re not embarrassed to let guests use. It’s not magic—it’s just consistent, thorough work done by people who care about the details.
Clarita’s Cleaning has been serving Magoun Square and the surrounding Somerville neighborhoods for more than a decade. This is a family-run business, which means when something’s not right, there’s someone who actually cares enough to fix it.
We know Magoun Square homes—the triple-deckers with narrow staircases, the condos near the Green Line, the older Victorians with original woodwork that needs gentler care. We’ve cleaned through every season, every type of mess, every “I’m so sorry it’s this bad” moment. No judgment. Just results.
What sets our service apart isn’t some flashy marketing promise. It’s the reviews from people in your neighborhood saying the same thing: we don’t miss anything. We go beyond what you’d expect. And we use products that won’t make your house smell like a chemical plant or trigger your kid’s asthma.
First, you get a free estimate. You tell us what you need—regular house cleaning, a deep cleaning to reset everything, carpet cleaning, or something more specific. We’ll give you a clear price. No surprises, no upselling once we’re in your door.
Then we schedule a time that actually works for you. Morning, afternoon, weekday, weekend—we’re flexible because we know your calendar isn’t. Before the first visit, we’ll go over any areas that need extra attention, products you want us to avoid, or spaces that are off-limits.
On cleaning day, we arrive on time with all our own supplies—eco-friendly, non-toxic, safe for your family. We follow a detailed process that covers everything: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathrooms scrubbed top to bottom, kitchens degreased and sanitized. Baseboards. Light switches. Door handles. The stuff most people skip.
When we’re done, you walk through a home that’s genuinely clean. Not “good enough” clean. Actually clean. And if something’s not right, you say so, and we fix it. That’s the deal.

Regular house cleaning covers the essentials: dusting all surfaces, vacuuming and mopping floors, cleaning and disinfecting bathrooms, wiping down kitchen counters and appliances, taking out trash, and tidying up common areas. Most families in Magoun Square schedule this weekly or bi-weekly to keep things manageable between their own quick cleanups.
Deep cleaning goes further. Baseboards scrubbed. Ceiling fans and light fixtures wiped down. Inside cabinets and appliances. Grout lines. Window sills. The grime that builds up over months in places you don’t think about until you notice it. We recommend this every six to twelve months, or when you’re moving, hosting an event, or just need to reset after life gets chaotic.
Carpet cleaning tackles the dirt that vacuuming can’t reach—allergens, pet dander, stains that have been there so long you forgot they existed. Especially useful in Magoun Square’s older homes where wall-to-wall carpeting holds onto everything.
All services use eco-friendly, non-toxic products. That’s not a gimmick—it’s a commitment. You shouldn’t have to choose between a clean home and a safe one. Families with young kids crawling on floors, pets that lick everything, or anyone with allergies or asthma benefit most from this approach. And honestly, even if none of that applies to you, why would you want harsh chemicals lingering in your home?
Pricing is straightforward and based on your home’s size, condition, and what you need done. Free estimates mean you know the cost before committing. And because this is a local, family-run business, you’re not dealing with corporate pricing structures designed to squeeze every dollar out of you.
Cost depends on your home’s size, current condition, and the type of cleaning you need. In the Somerville area, you can expect regular house cleaning to average around $120 to $250 per visit for a typical 2-3 bedroom home. Deep cleaning costs more—usually starting around $250—because it’s more labor-intensive and covers areas that don’t get touched during regular maintenance.
Bi-weekly service (the most popular option) often costs less per visit than one-time cleanings because there’s less buildup between appointments. Monthly service works if your household is smaller or quieter, but expect each visit to take longer since more accumulates between cleanings.
The best way to know what you’ll pay is to request a free estimate. You’ll get a clear, upfront price based on your specific home and needs—no vague ranges or surprise fees once the work is done.
Regular house cleaning maintains your home between deeper sessions. It covers the tasks you’d do yourself if you had time: dusting surfaces, vacuuming and mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms and kitchens, emptying trash, and general tidying. It keeps things fresh and livable without taking hours out of your week. Most people schedule this weekly or bi-weekly.
Deep cleaning is the reset button. It includes everything in a regular clean plus the labor-intensive tasks that pile up over time. Scrubbing baseboards and door frames. Wiping down cabinet fronts inside and out. Cleaning inside the oven and refrigerator. Detailing grout lines. Washing windows and sills. Dusting ceiling fans, light fixtures, and vents. It takes significantly longer and costs more, but it tackles the grime you don’t see until it’s really there.
Think of regular cleaning as maintenance and deep cleaning as restoration. If your home hasn’t been professionally cleaned in a while, start with a deep clean to get everything to baseline. Then keep it there with regular service. Most families do a deep clean once or twice a year—before holidays, after renovations, during spring cleaning season, or when moving in or out.
Yes. Every product we use is eco-friendly, non-toxic, and safe for children and pets. That’s not marketing language—it’s how we operate. No harsh chemicals, no toxic fumes, no residue left behind on surfaces where your kids play or your pets walk.
This matters more than people realize. Traditional cleaning products can trigger asthma, irritate skin, and leave chemical residue on floors and counters. If you have a toddler who puts everything in their mouth or a dog that licks the floor, you don’t want those substances in your home. Even if you don’t have kids or pets, why expose yourself to unnecessary toxins?
Eco-friendly doesn’t mean less effective. The products we use cut through grease, disinfect surfaces, and leave your home genuinely clean—just without the chemical smell or health risks. You won’t walk into a house that reeks like a hospital or makes your eyes water. You’ll just notice it’s clean.
If you have specific allergies or sensitivities, mention that when you book. We can adjust which products we use or avoid certain areas entirely. The goal is a clean home that’s also a safe home.
It depends on your household. Busy families with kids and pets typically benefit most from weekly or bi-weekly cleaning. Bi-weekly is the most common choice because it balances cost with keeping your home consistently clean without requiring much effort between visits.
If you live alone, work long hours, or travel frequently, monthly service might be enough. You’ll need to handle light tidying between appointments, but a professional monthly deep clean keeps things from getting out of control.
For homes that are generally well-maintained but need occasional intensive attention, a deep cleaning every six to twelve months works well. This is ideal if you’re already doing regular upkeep yourself but want a professional to handle the heavy-duty tasks like baseboards, inside appliances, and areas you just don’t have time for.
One-time cleanings are common for specific situations: moving in or out, preparing for guests or events, post-renovation cleanup, or just needing a reset after things have gotten away from you. Many people start with a one-time deep clean, realize how much easier life is with a clean home, and then switch to recurring service.
The right frequency is whatever keeps your home at a level of clean that doesn’t stress you out. If you’re constantly thinking about the mess or spending your weekends scrubbing instead of living, you probably need more frequent service.
No. Most clients aren’t home during cleaning appointments. You can provide access however works best for you—hide a key, use a lockbox, share a door code, or arrange for someone else to let us in.
We’re background-checked, insured, and bonded. This is a family-run business that’s been serving Magoun Square for over ten years, and reputation matters. You’re not taking a risk by giving access to your home. Many clients do exactly that and come back to a clean house without ever crossing paths with us.
That said, if you prefer to be home—especially for the first visit—that’s completely fine. Some people like to walk through their home with us, point out priority areas, or just feel more comfortable being there. It’s your home and your choice.
After the first cleaning, most people realize there’s no reason to adjust their schedule. They leave for work, run errands, or just go about their day, and come home to a clean house. That’s the whole point—getting your time back.
We serve all of Magoun Square and the surrounding Somerville neighborhoods, including Davis Square, Union Square, Winter Hill, Ball Square, Teele Square, East Somerville, Spring Hill, and nearby areas. We know the local housing stock—triple-deckers, condos, single-family homes, older Victorians, newer construction near Assembly Row.
If you’re in Somerville or the immediate surrounding area and wondering if your home is within our service zone, just ask. We’ve been operating locally for over a decade, so chances are we’ve already cleaned homes in your neighborhood.
Our service also extends to nearby parts of the Greater Boston area depending on the job. Whether you’re in a small apartment near the Green Line Extension or a larger home on one of the quieter residential streets, we can handle it. Free estimates mean you can find out quickly if your location and needs are a good fit.
