Think All Cleaning Services Are the Same? Here’s Why You’re Wrong!
At first glance, all cleaning services might seem similar—but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The difference between an independent house cleaner and a professional cleaning service like ours is night and day. While independent cleaners may offer a basic clean, professional services deliver a transformative experience that elevates your home and simplifies your life.
Independent cleaners often work solo, making it hard to ensure consistent quality or reliable scheduling. Missed appointments and varying results are common complaints. In contrast, professional services like ours operate with structured teams, proven processes, and decades of expertise. Our service is designed to offer more than just a clean house—it’s about providing peace of mind, unparalleled reliability, and a consistent level of excellence that you can count on.
With over 35 years of experience, we’ve seen countless clients who switched to us and never looked back. From liability insurance and accountability to the flexibility of a fully staffed team, we’ve built a service that goes beyond expectations, ensuring your home is cleaned efficiently, thoroughly, and on your schedule. Not all cleaning services are created equal—let us show you why we’re the gold standard.
Here’s what sets us apart:
Pricing and Value
While independent cleaners typically charge between $35 and $45 per hour, our service averages around $50 per hour. That small difference in cost translates into a massive improvement in reliability, professionalism, protection, and customer experience. Choosing a professional service isn’t just about getting your house cleaned; it’s about peace of mind and long-term satisfaction.
Reliability
With an independent cleaner, your service depends entirely on one person. If they get sick, experience car trouble, take a vacation, or have a family emergency, your cleaning may be missed. During busy holiday seasons, like Thanksgiving or Christmas, they may take time off, leaving you without service when you need it most.
Our service eliminates this risk. We have multiple crews available, ensuring that even if your regular cleaner is unavailable, a qualified replacement is always ready to step in. Your schedule is our priority.
The Team Advantage
We almost always send teams of two to clean your home, which offers several key benefits:
Speed: A job that might take a single cleaner four hours can be completed in just two hours by a team of two. This is especially important for large homes.
Comfort: We know it can feel uncomfortable having people in your home while you’re there, so our teams work quickly and efficiently to minimize disruptions.
Efficiency: Teams can divide tasks, working more effectively and ensuring every detail is addressed.
This approach allows us to provide high-quality cleanings in less time, without sacrificing attention to detail.
Longevity
House cleaning is a tough business, and many independent cleaners or small companies don’t last long. This means you’re constantly searching for new cleaners, vetting them, and hoping they meet your standards. We’ve been in business for over 35 years with the same owners, and many of our customers have been with us for over three decades. Choosing us means you’ll never have to start over again with someone new.
Experience and Consistency
Our cleaners clean more homes in a day than most independent cleaners do in a week. With fuller schedules and years of experience, our employees gain expertise far beyond what a single cleaner can offer. Many of our employees have cleaned thousands of homes, equipping them to handle any situation with confidence and skill. This consistency ensures a higher quality clean every time.
Proper Business Practice
Many independent cleaners operate informally, which can pose significant risks to homeowners:
Taxes: Independent cleaners often don’t pay the required taxes, including Social Security and Medicare contributions. This not only leaves you liable for unpaid taxes, but if you hire an independent cleaner long-term, you could eventually be responsible for paying their Social Security and Medicare when they’re ready to collect. If the IRS investigates, you could end up owing thousands in unpaid dues.
Worker’s Compensation: If an independent cleaner is injured in your home, you could be held liable for their medical bills and lost wages. Worker’s comp insurance is expensive, and most independent cleaners don’t carry it. Without it, a single injury could result in financial ruin.
We cover all these bases, ensuring you’re protected and never liable for medical bills, or unpaid taxes.
Convenient Scheduling
We make it easy to schedule and reschedule your cleanings. You can adjust appointments directly through our website or by simply texting or calling us. Our system is designed for your convenience, so you’re always in control.
Free Estimates
Some companies charge for estimates, but all of ours are free. With over 35 years of experience, we provide accurate and transparent pricing—no surprises, no hidden fees.
No Long Term Lock-In Contracts
Unlike some companies that charge you every month regardless of whether you get a cleaning—and even penalize you for canceling a long-term contract—we keep things simple. You can cancel or resume service anytime, no strings attached. Whether you need regular cleanings or just occasional help, we work on your schedule and terms.
Feedback and Customization
We actively encourage feedback and want to know if there’s something you’d like done differently. We maintain detailed notes for every customer, ensuring that your preferences are always respected and remembered. Our goal is to tailor our service to your unique needs.
Tipping is Not Expected
Our cleaners are well-paid professionals, and tipping is entirely optional. If you choose to tip, it’s appreciated, but it’s never expected.
Distraction Free Cleaning
Independent cleaners often juggle multiple roles, including answering calls, scheduling appointments, and managing customer service. This can lead to distractions while they’re in your home. On the flip side, when you need to reach them, they might not respond promptly because they’re busy cleaning someone else’s house.
We eliminate these problems by having dedicated office staff to handle customer service and scheduling. This allows our cleaners to focus solely on what they’re there to do: clean your home thoroughly and efficiently.
Trust and Professionalism
Trust is crucial when inviting someone into your home. Independent cleaners often face inconsistent work schedules, which can lead to financial stress. Unfortunately, this can sometimes result in unprofessional behavior, such as theft or cutting corners.
We provide our employees with consistent, reliable work and pay, removing the temptation to act dishonestly. We also thoroughly vet all employees through background checks and only hire individuals we’d trust in our own homes. Additionally, our employees maintain a professional demeanor—no oversharing personal stories or guilt-tripping clients for tips or favors.
Supplies and Equipment
We provide all our own equipment and supplies, ensuring a consistent, high-quality clean every time. Many independent cleaners expect homeowners to provide materials, and in some cases, even take products from clients’ homes. With us, you’ll never have to worry about supplying anything or dealing with such issues.
