General Information

A lot of people email and call to find out about my prices.
Here is a bit of info:

My minimum fee is $75
I charge per job, not per hour. There are no time limits, we work until the job is done.
There is always a fee for a first time cleaning. Sometimes it's $5, sometimes it's $20. It depends on the space.
As much as we love pets, homes with cats or dogs will tend to cost a little more to clean.

Please call me at (312) 725-4050 to find out how much it would cost to clean your place.

Please have the following info ready:
Location
Size of home (beds/baths/sqft)
How often you need the cleaning done?
What are your cleaning priorities?

Things to keep in mind:
We only take on small places, no larger than 1200 sq ft.
We prefer to fill our schedule with clients who want regular service (weekly/bi-weekly).
One time, move in/out, and occasional cleanings are only done if we have a cancellation. This type of work does not provide steady income and it is not where we focus our efforts.

We don't do:
dishes
laundry
organizing

We use earth friendly and non toxic cleaning supplies.
Once in a while we are forced to use harsh chemicals to clean, but usually only on a first visit if green supplies can't handle the job.

Please be ready for the cleaning appointment by tidying up before we arrive. Mess makes it hard for us to do a good job. Dishes are very time consuming and we prefer for them to be done before we arrive. Please put clean linens on the bed if you need them changed.

We love notes! Feel free to email/call/text/leave a note if there are any areas that need special attention.
