Six things worth checking before you hire a cleaning company.
A low starting number cannot tell you what will be cleaned, who will enter the home or what happens when plans change. Compare the complete service before comparing the final line.
A price you can understand
Confirm what changes the price, which extras are optional and whether the amount shown matches the cleaning type and home details you selected.
Screening and protection
Look for clear answers about background checks, insurance and bonding before welcoming a cleaning professional into the home.
Scheduling that fits real life
Check the arrival-window, rescheduling and cancellation rules before the appointment—not when plans have already changed.
A clear path when something is missed
Read the satisfaction policy and make sure you know who to contact, what is eligible and how a concern will be reviewed.
Reviews with useful detail
Recent reviews are most helpful when they describe the service, communication, punctuality and finished result—not only a star rating.
Choose by the condition of the home
The right service starts with the result you need.
Compare our four main home-cleaning services. Then compare the full checklist before you book.
For regular upkeep
Standard Cleaning
The practical choice for a maintained home that needs kitchens, bathrooms, floors, surfaces and living areas brought back into order.
Explore Standard Cleaning →
For buildup and detail
Deep Cleaning
Choose the fuller reset when baseboards, door frames, cabinet exteriors and other detailed areas need more attention than a standard visit.
Explore Deep Cleaning →
For an empty-home transition
Move In/Out Cleaning
Built for arriving or leaving, with the Standard and Deep foundations plus the turnover priorities that matter in an empty home.
Explore Move In/Out Cleaning →
For a home that stays maintained
Recurring Cleaning
Set a weekly, bi-weekly, every-three-weeks or monthly rhythm so cleaning is handled before the home needs another major reset.
Explore Recurring Cleaning →Standard or Deep?See the exact difference in scope, current price examples and the visible signs that make one service the better fit.
Moving soon?Plan backward from the handoff.
Plan a smoother property transition
A move-out clean has a deadline. Build the cleaning around it.
The best time to clarify scope is before the home is empty and the keys are due. Use this three-part plan to prevent the most avoidable surprises.
- 1
Before comparing prices
Decide whether the home will be empty, which appliances and storage areas need interior cleaning, and whether the property requires extras outside the selected checklist.
- 2
Before the cleaning visit
Remove personal belongings, confirm access and arrange keys, concierge notice, elevator time or visitor parking when the property requires them.
- 3
Before the final handoff
Check the finished clean before your inspection. If an included task was missed, contact NearMe while you still have access to the home.
Choose a recurring rhythm
Book for the way the home is used—not an arbitrary rule.
Household size, pets, cooking, floor type and your own upkeep change how quickly the home stops feeling maintained.
Weekly
Busy homes that collect visible dust, kitchen use, pet hair or bathroom buildup quickly.
Bi-weekly
A practical balance for many households that want regular help without a weekly visit.
Every 3 weeks
Lower-traffic homes that stay reasonably tidy but benefit from a dependable reset before a full month passes.
Monthly
Homes that stay fairly tidy between visits and need a professional clean once a month.
