Maid For Homes is licensed, registered, insured, and bonded for residential and commercial cleaning services in the State of Ohio.
All of our staff go through a rigorous hiring and training process. All of our cleaners are background checked, vetted, and go through a series of test cleans before they enter your home.
Cleaning
Our goal is to make sure you have a 100% excellent experience every time by delivering stellar cleaning services. You can do your part to help with having an awesome experience by:
- Making sure you booked the right service for your needs. Our maid staff will go above and beyond for every cleaning but we cannot go outside of the scope of service booked. If you don't book the right service this could cause you to incur further fees or we won't be able to meet your expectations if you did not select the correct estimated time for service.
- Declutter our home before service. Remove and pick up large piles of clothes, papers, trash, etc. Unless organization services are booked our packages only include light tidying of personal items
Deep cleaning provides a more thorough clean and is highly recommended for homes which haven’t been professionally cleaned in the past 30 days. The checklist includes everything necessary to bring your home up to a standard of cleanliness which can then be maintained easily. Baseboards, door frames, light switches, a deep scrub of the kitchen and bathrooms, and more are included. See our deep cleaning checklist here Cleaning Checklist. For homes that are above the level of a standard clean upon arrival to your home, a heavy duty deep cleaning fee of $75 will be applied to your booking.
