House Cleaning Services in Northern Virginia & Washington, DC

A standard house cleaning is our everyday reset for a home that is already in reasonable shape. Your team works from the same room-by-room checklist every visit, brings its own supplies and equipment, and finishes with kitchens, bathrooms, floors and dusting handled top to bottom. You can price and book the visit online in a few minutes — no in-home estimate and no phone tag.

How the cleaning works

  1. Step 1

    Price your clean online

    Enter your ZIP code, choose the number of bedrooms and bathrooms and add any extras. Your estimate updates as you go.

  2. Step 2

    Pick a date and arrival window

    Choose a day and one of our flexible arrival windows: 9:00–11:00 AM, 1:00–3:00 PM or 4:00–7:00 PM.

  3. Step 3

    Your team cleans to the checklist

    The team arrives with supplies, works through the standard checklist and confirms when the visit is complete.

What affects time and price

  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
  • How long it has been since the last professional cleaning
  • Add-ons such as interior windows, inside the fridge or extra cleaning time
  • Pet hair volume and general clutter, which both add working time
  • Whether you book a one-time visit or a discounted recurring plan

How to prepare for your visit

  • Pick up loose clothing, toys and paperwork so surfaces can be cleaned
  • Leave entry instructions — lockbox code, door code or front-desk note — during booking
  • Secure pets that are uncomfortable with visitors
  • Note any surfaces that need a specific product in the notes field
