FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
A one time or first time deep clean will bring your home to an exceptional level of cleanliness. The rate for such a service is based on square footage and (believe it or not) the number of bathrooms. An example is a home between 1500 sq ft would be $150; more than 2 bathrooms and I add another $15 because I average 60 minutes detailing a bathroom. Maintenance cleaning following that is about half of the first time price; go every two weeks and add $10; go every month and add $20. The reason being is the longer you go between cleanings, the more there is to do. Cleaning the oven or the fridge add another $20 because they're pretty labor intensive. When you request additional services such as windows (I only do tilt-in or interior windows ... I don't climb ladders!), blinds, laundry, or dishes, those services are typically discussed on a per job basis. There's way too much to consider to just throw a number out there. To go beyond cleaning, I do special hand/tool detailing to remove pet hair from carpets and steps, as well as organizing, and REEEEALLY deep cleaning ... like home-makeover style ... that just can't be priced over a computer.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
After attaining a degree and not finding employment, and a refusal to return to restaurant management, I decide to use my OCD to help others.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I have a small group of regular clients that have become friends, and I have deep clean customers that need help just once or turning over rental properties. I prefer to take on regulars that need help and are interested in someone to care for them, not just being the help. I don't mind doing a few dishes or even making sure you have a hot meal in the oven when you get home. What's common for me are clients that feel like family and appreciate a spotless clean, lots of sparkle, fresh clean scents without a lot of fake perfumes, and a willingness to stand up to a white glove test.
