Why We Price by Square Footage, Not Bedrooms
More Accurate
A 900 sqft 2-bedroom apartment and a 1,800 sqft 2-bedroom row house are completely different cleaning jobs. Square footage reflects the actual work, bedrooms do not.
One Clear Price
You get a single number based on your sqft, not a range. No guessing, no "it depends." Tell us your square footage and we give you your exact price.
Fair for Every Home Type
Whether you are moving out of a studio, a row house, or a 4-story townhome, you pay for the actual space cleaned. No overpaying, no underpaying.
