"Lorraine from Maid with Joy is absolutely lovely. She was so understanding about my needs and even sent her kind cleaner, Armando, in advance to assess the house. I gave Lorraine an exhaustive check-list and Armando with great diligence fastidiously accomplished his task. He even helped clean up a mess I made the evening before that was not on task. I will absolutely hire Made with Joy for maintenance now that my house is so clean. I highly recommend them for their friendly and thorough service. I also feel that I was very fairly charged for the service I received. Great people!"

"We have been using The Honest Maid for about 5 or 6 months and have regular cleanings. They are detail oriented, trustworthy, and great communicators. We especially appreciate Yanet because she puts up with our dogs and is always a joy to see. The price is reasonable and based on the size of our home. If ever we need less cleaned or more cleaned, they are accommodating. Highly recommend."

"I have never had a clean service because I don't like asking for help, but I have some physical problems so I needed the help. I got in touch with YB Cleaning Services and when they came out they had two people doing the job. They were friendly, professional and asked what I needed done, they got to work and my house has not looked this good in a long time. My kitchen looks fantastic, the places on the floor where I couldn't get to were spotless and the stove top hasn't looked this good in years. My carpets, floors and bathroom are fantastic. They did such a fantastic job that I am going to have them come in biweekly. If you are looking for a cleaning service I would highly recommend YB Cleaning Services."

"I’ve known Angello for about 10 years now. He’s been my personal driver, house cleaner, dog sitter, basically my own personal assistant for whatever I need. No matter the task he shows up on time, prepared and ready work. I would recommend Ang for any one of his services!"

"I am beyond pleased with the detailed work that was done. The two people were friendly and professional. I desperately needed my living room cleaned top to bottom and every furniture wiped down and moved to sweep and mop. My living room was the cleanest and looked amazing! I had so many complements how my living room looked so much bigger! Just because of the deep cleaning it was given. I’m very happy with the hard work. I highly recommend Essential Maids. I’m looking forward to hiring them again."

FAQs for maid service projects in Santa Monica, CA

Yes, many people find hiring a cleaning service to be a worthwhile investment. A professional cleaner frees up hours you’d spend scrubbing floors and usually delivers a deeper result than a quick DIY pass. If you juggle family schedules, host guests, or simply value your weekends, the fee can be money well spent. Regular visits also protect finishes by using the right products on every surface. In short, you’re buying both a cleaner home and extra time in your day.

Start by comparing quotes and asking about recurring‑service discounts, as many companies drop their rate by $5 to $10 per visit when you schedule weekly or biweekly cleanings. Bundling tasks, such as window or appliance cleaning, into one appointment also reduces the trip fee. If your home needs only light upkeep, hire an independent cleaner and reserve a company for deep cleans. Tackling easy chores yourself keeps paid hours down without sacrificing a professional finish.

For one‑time or occasional jobs, plan to tip 10% to 20% of the total bill. Hand the gratuity directly to your cleaner or leave it in a labeled envelope if you won’t be home. When a crew tackles the work, split the tip evenly among team members. Routine weekly service usually doesn’t require a tip every visit, but many homeowners give a larger holiday bonus to show appreciation for consistent care.

Most companies arrive with commercial‑grade vacuums, microfiber cloths, and standard cleansers, so you don’t have to stock anything. Others ask you to provide basic tools or specialty products, especially if you prefer eco‑friendly or fragrance‑free solutions. Always confirm what’s included during the quote. If you have marble counters, for example, make sure the pro brings a stone‑safe cleaner or have it ready yourself to avoid accidental etching.

A routine cleaning of an average‑size home generally takes one to three hours. Deep cleans—scrubbing grout, wiping baseboards, moving furniture—stretch to three to six hours. A thorough move‑out service can run four to eight hours because every cabinet, drawer, and appliance needs attention. Square footage, clutter level, and the number of cleaners on the crew ultimately dictate the time frame, so ask for an estimate when you book.
