Getting Started

  • We serve Hellertown, Bethlehem, Allentown, Easton, Coopersburg, Center Valley and surrounding Lehigh Valley communities in Pennsylvania. If you're not sure whether you're in our service area, just mention your city in the quote form and we'll let you know right away.

  • Easy — just fill out our quote form and tell us about your home. We'll ask about square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, your preferred cleaning frequency, any pets, and a few other details that help us give you an accurate number. Takes about 3 minutes, and we'll have your custom quote back to you within one business day.

  • Within one business day, someone on our team will reach out to you. You’ll receive a personalized quote and our full cleaning checklist so you know exactly what we'll cover. From there, the decision is entirely yours — no pressure. If you're happy with the quote, you approve it, pay your deposit, and get access to your client hub where all your appointments and invoices live in one place.

  • Nope! A one-time deep clean is a great way to experience what we do before deciding if you want us on a regular schedule. That said, most clients who start with a one-time clean end up booking recurring service — just saying. 😄

  • The sooner the better, especially for first-time cleans and move-in/move-out services which tend to book up faster. For recurring maintenance cleans, we'll set your schedule during the onboarding process and lock in your regular slot. Reach out as soon as you know what you need and we'll do our best to accommodate your timeline.

  • Our office is open Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm. We respond to all inquiries within one business day. If you reach out over the weekend, you'll hear from us Monday morning.

  • Fill out our estimate request form, and we'll get back to you within 1-2 business days with a quote and any follow-up questions. Once you're ready to book, you'll get a confirmation email along with our client guidelines to sign before your first clean. Easy peasy!

  • We accept credit cards and electronic ACH payments. Our cleaners do not accept cash for services rendered.

  • Tips are never expected, but are always appreciated and accepted! ❤️Some clients tip a little at the end of each visit, and others prefer a larger tip at the end of the year. Whatever feels right to you.

The Cleaning Itself

  • Every maintenance clean covers dusting all accessible surfaces, vacuuming and mopping throughout, full bathroom cleaning and sanitizing, kitchen surface cleaning (counters, stovetop, appliance exteriors, sink), emptying trash (except offices), and general tidying of living areas. You'll get our full checklist along with your quote so there's no guessing about what's covered.

  • Yes, always. The first clean brings your home up to what we call "maintenance level," which takes more time than keeping it there once we're on a regular schedule. How much longer depends on the size of your home, the number of people and pets, and the current condition.

    Once we've done your first clean, we'll have a much better sense of what each regular visit will look like in terms of time and scope.

  • Every home is different, and cleaning time varies based on the size of your space, your lifestyle, and how your home is used day-to-day.

    When you book your first clean, we'll give you a ballpark estimate based on what you share with us. Once we've actually been in your home, we'll have a much clearer picture, and from there, your regular cleanings will be pretty consistent every time.

  • Absolutely! We offer hourly booking with a 3-hour minimum, which is a great option if you're working within a specific budget. Just let us know your priorities upfront, and we'll make sure we hit the areas that matter most to you in the time we have.

  • Yes, and we're upfront about this because we think transparency matters.

    • We don't service homes or areas that require professional remediation for biohazard situations, which include hoarding, mold, rodent or insect infestations, and human or pet waste.

    • We also don't clean homes that have been or are currently being smoked in.

    These situations require specialized professionals, and we want to make sure every home we take on is one we can genuinely serve well.

  • Regardless of clean linens, beds will always be made as part of your cleaning. If you'd like us to swap in fresh linens, just leave a set out and let us know; we're happy to take care of it!

    Need us to launder them too? We can do that. Is an add-on service charge by the load. If you’d like to add it, just give us a heads up in advance so we can make sure we've got enough time built into your visit.

  • Absolutely! We're always open to requests. As long as it's something we have the tools and training to do safely, we're happy to add it to your clean. We just ask for 48 hours’ notice before the visit so we can make sure we've allocated enough time. Just mention it in your quote form, your client hub, or reach out to our office directly.

  • Yes, we bring everything we need. The only thing we ask is that you have a toilet bowl brush available in each bathroom. If you have specific products you prefer we use (or products you'd like us to avoid), just leave them out and let us know. We're happy to accommodate! Many clients also prefer we use their own vacuum, which is totally fine with us.

  • We use effective, home-safe products and try to be as environmentally conscious as possible. Our standard kit includes Athos products, You'll never find Bleach, Ammonia, or CLR in our kit.

    The one exception is oven interiors: we use a fume-free oven cleaner since ovens need something stronger with a proper soak time. If you'd prefer we skip the oven altogether, just say the word, and we'll note it in your file.

    For commercial and industrial accounts, we customize products to fit the space. Smaller offices get the same natural products we use in homes. Larger or industrial spaces may call for floor cleaners or degreasers — we'll always talk through the specifics with you before we arrive.

  • We're flexible: we can come weekly, biweekly, monthly, or just when you need us. We also handle one-time cleans for special events, move-ins, and move-outs. There's no contract, so you can adjust your schedule anytime as your needs or budget change.

    For commercial clients, we can clean during business hours or after, whatever works best for your team.

Your Cleaning Team

  • For your initial clean or a one-time deep clean, we may send a team of two cleaners to get your home up to our standards efficiently. After that, you'll generally have one dedicated cleaner assigned to your home for all recurring visits — the same person, every time whenever possible. It's one of our favorite things about how we work. 🌿

  • Yes, as much as we can help it — that's one of our core commitments and one of the things our clients tell us they love most. We assign your cleaner from the start and keep it consistent. Over time, your cleaner gets to know your home, your preferences, and the little details that make a difference. In the rare event your regular cleaner is unavailable (illness, vacation, etc.), we'll let you know in advance exactly who will be coming — no surprises, ever.

  • Yes, every single one. We run background checks on all team members before they ever set foot in a client's home. We take the trust our clients place in us very seriously, and this is one of the ways we protect everyone involved.

  • Yes — we're fully insured. If proof of insurance is ever requested, we're happy to provide it. And in the very unlikely event that something is damaged during a routine clean, we'll do our best to repair or replace it and file a claim if appropriate.

Scheduling & Logistics

  • Not at all, only if you want to be. Most of our recurring clients provide a key or a door code, and we take care of everything while they're out.

    For your very first clean, we do recommend being home to walk your cleaner through the space and point out any priority areas or spots to avoid. After that? Totally up to you!

  • If you reschedule, skip, add, or cancel your service, please give 48 hours' notice. Without 48 hours' notice, you will be charged 25% of your cleaning fee.

    Cancellations on the same day of service for any reason other than illness will be charged half the service rate. If you’re cancelling because you’re sick, we will reschedule the service instead. All cancellations must be made through our office.

    We know life happens, and we try to be understanding in general; we just ask for as much notice as possible so we can take care of our team's schedules too.

Specific Situations

  • We love our clients' pets! All of our cleaners are comfortable working in homes with animals.

    However, if your pet gets nervous around new people or the sounds of vacuuming and mopping, we just ask that you keep them in a separate room or crated for the duration of the clean — both for their comfort and so your cleaner can do their best work.

    One thing to note: we don't walk, feed, or clean up pet waste as part of our service.

  • If something breaks during a routine service, we'll do our best to repair or replace it. Our team is fully insured, so claims can be filed when appropriate. If proof of insurance is requested, we are happy to provide it.

    We'll always communicate with you right away if something happens rather than hoping you don't notice (that's just not how we operate).

  • We completely respect shoe-free homes! However, for safety reasons, our cleaners are required to wear closed-toe, non-slip shoes throughout every clean — it's a workplace safety requirement we can't make exceptions for. What we CAN do is have your cleaner wipe down the floors as a final step in their clean, so any tracked-in anything gets taken care of before they leave.

  • Tell us. Seriously — just tell us. Yari or a member of our HQ team personally follows up within 24 hours of your first clean specifically to catch anything like this, and our goal is always to make it right. Your satisfaction isn't a nice-to-have for us — it's the whole point. We'd rather know than have you quietly unhappy, and we'd rather fix it than lose you as a client.
