A ‘Cleaning House Company’ that focuses on saving you time and peace of mind
Hiring a local maid service — one that not only clears your home but your schedule and your distractions — is a true cleaning house company. Why? Because we clean out not only your house, but your schedule and your to-do-list anxiety when you walk into your home at the end of the day.
You live the scenario: It’s the end of the day. It was a long day. You kind of enjoy the peace and quite of your commute after work, but that peace and quite is interrupted with the anxiety that meets you at the front of your building or home and when you walk through the front door. It’s not always a smack-you-in-the-face anxiety. In fact, you’ve kind of gotten used to it — the marks on the wall inside your home, the dirty kitchen counters (the countertop color may hide some of it, but you know it needs to be cleaned), the dust that lies not only on the furniture, but in the spots that aren’t immediately visible. Don’t even get started thinking about the top of the refrigerator and the hard to reach, so I’d rather not try to, blind spots behind the toilet.

Our Local Maid Service can help clear your counters and your calendar
It’s a matter of time and priorities. You have too little of one and too much of the other. When you walk through that door, it is the cleaning to do list that smacks you either in the face or weighs down the back of your mind. Wouldn’t it be nice to just walk into a clean home, to walk into one less thing to worry about? In an unclean home, it is not just the physical blemishes and obstacles that get in the way of enjoying your evening or getting to your priorities. It is the mental space that these distractions occupy.
As an independently owned and operated company, we have been providing these stress-relieving services to our local maid service customers in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Minneapolis and Portland for years.
What Our House Cleaning Services Include
Our local maid service, bonded and insured with fully-trained employees not contractors, specializes in recurring home cleaning services: cleanings every week, two weeks or four weeks. This services keeps your home consistently, constantly clean, so you don’t have to dread opening the door to a to do list after a long day. You can always stay on your true priorities with a home that makes getting to them easier, not harder.
To ensure that we make your day more manageable and save you time, we also keep our communications concise but helpful — quick reminder calls or emails before appointments, a helpful customer service team who can help you when needed and we take thorough notes so we can keep your information on file without having you repeat things unnecessarily.

Our home cleaning checklist and how we work
You can review our recurring Maintenance Cleaning list below, which is what we clean during each standard visit.
For recurring cleanings we start with an initial cleaning, where we spend more time cleaning the highly-used areas of your home (kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms) and we focus on getting as much dust as possible in high and low areas (like ceiling fans and baseboards). We want to give ourselves enough time to make sure that we create a new base and standard of professionally cleaning for your home. From there, we’ll make sure you’re satisfied with the cleaning and continue on with the Maintenance Cleanings every week, two weeks or four weeks.

Initial Cleaning
An Initial Cleaning is just that — the first cleaning that kicks off your recurring schedule (weekly, bi-weekly or monthly service). The Initial Cleaning is an enhanced Maintenance Cleaning. On the Initial Cleaning, we clean all cabinet doors. We do both top and bottom cleaning, rather than alternating one or the other. We spend about twice as much time cleaning showers, dusting areas not normally dusted and covering other high-traffic areas. This is the best way to create a new cleanliness foundation for your home.
