The honest call

Recurring, deep, or move-out?

“Cleaning” is three different jobs wearing one word. Here is what each one actually includes, so two quotes ever mean the same thing.

Recurring

The rhythm is the product.

What: Kitchens, baths, floors, dusting, on a weekly or biweekly beat
Why: A home that never drifts far enough to need rescuing

The first visit takes longest, the routine is what you’re really buying. Expect the first clean to be quoted like a deep one, honestly.

Deep clean

A task list, not an adjective.

Adds: Baseboards, vents, behind furniture, inside microwave, scale and buildup
When: First visits, seasons turning, life happened

Every company means something different by “deep”. The honest ones hand you the task list before you pay for the word.

Move-in / out

The empty-house special.

Adds: Inside cabinets, appliances, closets, the spots furniture hid for years
Who: Deposits, landlords, and the family moving in behind you

Book it AFTER the movers, not before. A spotless house with boxes dragged through it was money spent twice.

The trust part

Someone’s in your home.

Fair asks: Insured team, a clear key process, the same faces each visit
Also fair: Asking what happens if something breaks, before it does

These are the real buying questions, and any professional cleaner is glad you asked them out loud.

Not sure which yours is? Describe the state of the house honestly, we’ve seen it all, and quotes only work when they match reality.

Straight pricing

One number. In writing. It doesn’t move.

No hourly meter, no surprise line items, no “while we’re at it”. You approve one clear quote before the first visit, so you know the cost up front.

The walkthrough

We visit, measure every room and listen to what you actually want. Free, and it stays free.

Your clear quote

Rooms, frequency and extras, one line, one price. Approved by you before anything starts.

In writing03

Signed & guaranteed

The number lands in writing with a 24-hour re-clean promise. If it isn’t right, we come back, free.

The breakdown

What moves the number.

No mystery math. Four things decide what a cleaning costs, and we walk every one with you before the quote lands.

Condition & buildupA neglected home takes the hours, a kept one takes fewer. Honest condition is most of the price.

Size & roomsSquare footage, how many rooms and baths, and how lived-in the space is.

Surfaces & detailGrout, blinds, inside cabinets and delicate finishes are hand work, and worth it.

FrequencyRecurring visits cost less per clean. A one-off or a hard deadline can be met, priced plainly.

Whatever the mix, you get one clear quote, in writing, before any work starts.

What a serious cleaning quote includes, ours or anyone’s:

The task list for YOUR clean type, written out
Crew size and expected time window
Who brings supplies and equipment, stated
Key & access process, spelled out
Breakage policy, in plain words
Re-clean terms if something’s missed

Two “deep cleans” can differ by half the work. The task list is the only way two quotes ever compare.

Recent jobs

Real work, in plain numbers.

Three jobs from the past few months, what they were, where, and how long they actually took.

Biweekly recurring clean

Irvington·3 hours

Standing every-other-Thursday reset on a three-bed foursquare. Same two-person team, tops-down each visit: dust high to low, HEPA vac the runners, damp-wipe counters and sinks, hard floors mopped last. Checked against the written room list before we lock up.

Move-out deep clean

St. Johns·2 days

Empty two-story turnover for the deposit. Inside the oven degreased, fridge pulled and cleaned behind, cabinet interiors wiped, baseboards and window tracks detailed, hard-water scale descaled off the shower glass. Left it walk-through ready for the landlord.

Post-renovation dust-down

Sellwood·4 hours

Fine drywall dust after a kitchen remodel, one room plus the hall. HEPA vacuumed walls and trim, wiped every surface twice so the film didn't resettle, and cleaned the light fixtures and window interiors last. No streaks left on the new glass.

Where we work

Proudly serving the Portland metro

A lot of our work comes from a neighbor who watched us shine the house next door. If you're in the metro, we're just around the corner.

Nine muddy months and a yellow pollen spring set the local rhythm — entryways and window sills work harder here than anywhere else in the house, and our routes are built around that.

How it goes

From first call to done.

No mystery in the middle. This is the path the job actually takes, start to finish.

The walkthroughday 1

You call or book online, and within a day one of us walks the whole place with you, room by room. We note square footage, floor types, pets, and the spots that actually matter to you.

Flat quote in writingwithin 24 hours

You get a written clear quote, not an hourly guess. It lists every room, what is included, and the crew size, so there are no surprises on the invoice.

We lock the date1-2 weeks out

Once you say go, we schedule the same named crew and send you a confirmation with arrival window and a supply list. You know exactly who is coming and what they bring.

Day of the cleanday of the job

The crew arrives in the window, sets up drop cloths and gear, and works the checklist top to bottom. A lead stays on site the whole time so questions get answered on the spot.

Walkthrough & guaranteebefore we leave

We walk the finished space with you, fix anything you flag on the spot, and haul out our own trash and gear. You keep a written 24-hour re-clean guarantee, so if something is missed we come back free.

Before you hire anyone

Five questions for every cleaning company.

Including us. You’re not buying clean floors, you’re inviting people into your home. These five questions are how you choose whom.

01Are your cleaners employees or subcontractors?

Both models exist. What matters is who trained them, who insures them, and who answers when something goes sideways, one name or a shrug.

02Can I see the task list for my clean type?

“Deep clean” means whatever the company decides it means. A written checklist is the difference between a promise and a vibe.

03Will I get the same crew each visit?

Familiar faces learn your home and earn your trust. Constant rotation is a scheduling choice, you’re allowed to ask about it.

04What happens if something breaks?

Accidents happen in every home. The professional answer names insurance and a process, not “that’s never happened to us”.

05How does the key or entry code work?

Coded, logged, never labeled with your address, there should be a system, and they should enjoy explaining it.

Bring this list to the quote call. We’ll answer all five before you ask.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Getting started

Do you charge for estimates?+

No. Written quotes for homes, turnovers, deep cleans and offices are always free, we visit, measure, talk through scope and schedule, and email you a clear, itemized quote with no obligation.

How soon can you start?+

Most estimates go out within a day, and typical projects are scheduled within one to two weeks. For urgent re-cleans, before a move, a sale or an event, just tell us the date and we'll do our best to fit you in.

What does “free estimates” mean?+

Before any work begins, we give you one clear quote to approve, prep, materials and labor included. No hourly meter, no surprise add-ons at the end. You always decide before we start.

What should I do before the first visit?+

Nothing but the walkthrough with us. Tell us what matters, the shelf, the blinds, the allergy, and leave a key plan you are comfortable with. Tidying first is optional, that is our job.

What happens during the free walkthrough?+

Fifteen minutes: we see the home, note your priorities and pet rules, and leave you a flat quote with the checklist we will clean to.

How fast can you start?+

Walkthroughs this week, first cleans usually within the next. Move-outs and turnovers on tighter clocks jump the line, call and ask.

Your clean, products & plan

What products do you use?+

Effective, low-odor lines as standard, fragrance-free or eco-only on request, and your own products happily, noted in your file so every visit matches.

Do you bring your own supplies and equipment?+

Everything, including HEPA vacuums, you provide nothing unless you prefer your own products, which we happily use.

How do you price a home?+

Rooms, frequency and the extras you pick, one clear quote in writing after the free walkthrough. No hourly meter, no surprise add-ons.

Which plan fits my home?+

Tap through the moods above, then let the walkthrough decide: most families land on biweekly with a quarterly deep-clean rotation.

Is it the same people every time?+

Yes, your team stays yours. Same faces, same order, same standards, if someone is out sick we tell you before the doorbell rings.

Do I need to be home?+

Most clients are not. Key, code or lockbox, every entry is logged, and the signed checklist plus a photo lands when we lock up.

Trust, guarantee & flexibility

Are you bonded and insured?+

What if I am not happy with a spot?+

Say so within 24 hours and we return free, no forms, no debate. The re-clean guarantee is in writing on every quote.

Can you handle pets?+

We love them, notes on names, rooms and quirks live in your file, doors stay closed as instructed, and treats only with permission.

Can I skip or reschedule a visit?+

Anytime with a day's notice, no fee. Life happens, the schedule flexes with it.

Is the Care Plan worth it?+

For most homes, yes: an annual inspection, free scuff and touch-up visits, priority scheduling, and 15% off future projects typically pay for the membership the first time you use it, and keep every finish looking new.
