Our minimum appointment is a two (2) hour clean. If you would like to forego our standard pricing and hire an HOURLY cleaner, we can provide this at a cost of $60/hour per cleaner.

What does a Deep Clean include?

The Deep Clean service is a comprehensive top-to-bottom cleaning. We recommend a deep cleaning if you have not had your apartment professionally cleaned within the past 3 months.

What is a Move In/Move Out cleaning?

We all know moving is stressful. Combine that with all the boxes that need to be packed, furniture moved, and a long list of other preparations can be extremely time consuming. Our move in/move out cleanings are designed to prepare a home for a new tenant.

Please note that the move in/move out cleaning includes cleaning inside of the oven, insides of the cabinets, and inside of the refrigerator.

It does not include cleaning baseboards, closets, interior windows and interior walls, all of which are available at a reasonably priced additional cost.

Do Maid Sailors cleaners bring all necessary cleaning supplies to get the job done?

We bring all required products to give your home a great clean, aside from a vacuum (unless requested; see below), mop, bucket or step stool. If you’d like us to use a specific product, please let us know and leave it out for the cleaner to use.

I don’t have a vacuum. Should I still use your service?

If you do not have a vacuum, simply request for the cleaner to bring a vacuum in the special instructions area. Please note, our cleaners do not carry large capacity vacuums. Our cleaners carry mobile vacuums as they have to travel throughout the day for jobs.

What if I don’t have a mop?

Our cleaners bring a travel wet/dry mop (Swiffer) that can be used on non-carpeted floors.

Do you bring green cleaning supplies?

We have teams that do 100% green cleaning. Simply request it and we’ll assign a green-cleaning team at no additional charge. (Please note this requires time flexibility)

Do I get a discount if I’m a frequent customer?

Yes, customers who sign up for recurring service will receive discounts. For weekly service, you will receive a 15% discount. For service every 2 weeks, we have a 10% discount. If you book us every 3 weeks, you will receive a 7% discount. For service every month, you will get a 5% discount. PLEASE NOTE: The discount is not applicable until the 2nd cleaning.

How often should Maid Sailors clean my home or business?
