Cleaning service, Organization
"I desperately was in need of a company to help clean a house my family purchased at the end of April 2024. Our final approval for buying our house came mere days before closing and I feared I would not be able to find someone to clean on such short notice. I began my search for a cleaning company and after reaching out to several companies I started to lose hope once I found out they were booked on the day we closed, or they never bothered to return my call/email. But then I received a call back from Dawn at Northwoods Premier Cleaning company and to my surprise they had received a cancellation for the day we closed so they were available! We discussed the job over the phone: my family was buying an old farmhouse, there was a possibility the current owner was going to leave personal items, he was a heavy smoker and we didnâ t really know what we were getting ourselves in to until we received possession of the house on the day we closed. I was quoted a price range based on the square footage of the house for the work I was looking at having done, and I agreed. Dawn and I assumed it would take a couple of hours to clean the house. On closing day, we decided to meet at the house at noon (there were two ladies, Dawn and Tammy, that came to clean, they arrived on time and used their own equipment). Unfortunately, my house was worse than I expected and these ladies were literal rock stars! Walls and ceilings were scrubbed for nicotine, base boards and hard wood floors were scrubbed with wood cleaner on their hands and knees, they valiantly dealt with a wasp and Asian beetle â problemâ . I was amazed at how clean they were able to get the inside of the refrigerator (yes, there was nicotine inside the freezer and refrigerator!?!). Food mold was discovered inside the kitchen cabinets. Bathroom was scrubbed to the best that it could be. A closet ended up being another source of agony for Tammy as she diligently worked. Overall what was supposed to take a couple of hours on one day, actually took eight hours and two days. The price was more than what I was quoted, but that was due to the conditions that we were not expecting. Dawn was professional and asked me for permission about the extra cost before proceeding. I appreciated the feedback and know the services they provided was worth every penny I paid. In addition, I was given many tips and advice for future upkeep in my home. Several of their suggestions Iâ ve already utilized and I greatly appreciate their expertise. I only needed a one time move-in cleaning, but ended up with a deep clean service and would definitely utilize their services again in the future. I highly recommend Northwoods Premier Cleaning company for your cleaning needs."

"Christina and her helper went above and beyond cleaning a rental that was bad. They worked really hard and it looks fantastic. They even moved washer and dryer to clean behind and got the light fixtures and ceiling fan. Price was very reasonable."

When you hire a housekeeper or cleaning service, there are some questions you’ll need to ask to ensure you’re hiring the right person for the job. Writing down a list of services you want to be completed is a great place to start. This way, you’ll have all the information you need when you do interview a housekeeper or cleaning service, and they can provide you with accurate information and cost estimates.
Find out upfront if the housekeeper or cleaning company offers the services you need, especially if you have requests that go beyond basic services.
Do they charge a flat fee each week? Do they charge an hourly rate? Some companies charge based on your home’s square footage or the number of bedrooms you have.
Many companies may provide some smaller cleaning supplies, but they may need to use your vacuum cleaner or mop. Others bring their own or none at all. And if you’re particular about the types of chemicals used in your home, you may want to ask what products they use or if they’re willing to use what you provide.
Anytime you have a professional in your home, something could go wrong. They could get hurt, or some of your property may be damaged. Ask what would happen in these scenarios — a well-qualified professional will have the necessary insurance and bonding to cover these situations.
