House Cleaning Services in Seattle

How do I prepare for maid service?

First, take some time to declutter your Seattle home and get rid of any items that you don’t need. This will make it easier for the maids to work and will also help them to focus on the areas that are most important to you.

In addition, be sure to make a list of any special instructions that you have for the maids. For example, if you have pets, let us know in advance so that the professionals we send can take appropriate precautions.

What is included in a deep cleaning of a house?

A deep cleanup of a house is a thorough sanitization of all areas of the home, including those that are typically not part of a regular routine. This may include sweeping and wiping under furniture, in corners and other hard-to-reach areas, and polishing fixtures and surfaces that have become dull over time.

In addition, a deep cleaning service may involve special treatments for carpets, windows, and other areas that require extra attention.

Where do I start when cleaning my house?

One approach to house cleaning is to break the job down into smaller tasks and focus on one area at a time. For example, you might start by decluttering your living room, then move on to dusting and vacuuming.

Another approach is to work from top to bottom, beginning with ceiling fans and windows and ending with mopping the floors. Whichever method you choose, the key is to take things one step at a time and not try to tackle the entire house all at once.

Should you tip your cleaning person?

There are a few factors to consider when making this decision. For instance, how often do you have your home cleaned? If you have a professional come on a weekly basis, you may want to consider tipping them for their loyalty and consistency.

Additionally, how satisfied are you with the job they do? If you are always happy with the results of their work, a small tip may be warranted. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to tip your house cleaner is up to you.

Should I leave when the maid comes?

You can if you wish; it’s up to you. It’s not necessary for you to be home while our Pro works, as long as you provide them with access to your home. The majority of our clients aren’t home during the cleaning. Most long-time clients offer us a key to enter their homes while one-time clients often have a family member open the door, leave a key in a hidden place, or provide us with their garage code.

Do you bring your own cleaning supplies and equipment?

Yes! Our Pros bring everything needed for a standard clean: vacuums, mops, microfiber cloths, eco-friendly cleaning products, and gloves. We do need access to running water and electricity, so please make sure those are available in the home. If you prefer that we use your specific cleaning products (for example, if you have allergies, specific surfaces, or pets), just mention it when you book and we’ll use yours instead. Our Pros are already accustomed to cleaning surfaces like stainless steel and unvarnished wood, so rest assured that your home is in good hands.

Are your cleaners insured and bonded?

Yes. Every NW Maids cleaning team is bonded and insured. We carry general liability and workers’ comp through the company, so you and your home are protected if something gets damaged or someone gets hurt on the job. If anything goes wrong, we make it right.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancel or reschedule within 24 hours with no fee. Inside the 24-hour window we charge a $70 short-notice fee to cover the team’s reserved time. The easiest way to cancel is to reply to your booking confirmation email, call us, or log into your account at nwmaids.launch27.com/login

What kinds of cleanings do you do?

We offer 5 different types of cleans: standard recurring (weekly, every 2 weeks, every 4 weeks), one-time deep cleans, move-in/move-out cleans, apartment cleans, and vacation-rental turnovers. If you need a post-construction, post-party, or another type of custom cleaning, please mention it when you book and we’ll give you a custom quote.

Do you service my neighborhood in Seattle?

Yes! We cover all of Seattle including West Seattle, Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, Ballard, Fremont, Wallingford, the U District, Magnolia, Beacon Hill, and Columbia City, plus nearby Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Edmonds, Shoreline, and Federal Way. Enter your ZIP in the booking form to confirm.

How much does a clean cost?

Pricing is based on bed count, bath count, and the type of clean. The fastest way to get a real number is the instant-quote form. You can enter your address, beds, baths, and the service you want, and you’ll see the price before you book. What you see is what you pay. See our Seattle house cleaning prices guide for a full breakdown by service type.

Can your team clean around my dog, cat, or kids?

Yes, many of our customers have pets, and we don’t charge extra for it. Let us know what kind of furry friends you have, where they’ll be, and whether the team should avoid certain rooms while they work. For shy dogs we recommend a closed bedroom or crate during the visit. Our cleaners use pet-safe products by standard.

Are your cleaning products safe for kids, pets, and the environment?

Our default kit is eco-friendly and family-safe. We don’t use products that emit harsh fumes, and no bleach unless you specifically request it for a bathroom deep clean. If you’d rather we use only what you have at home, just say so when we arrive and we’re happy to use your supplies as well.

How long will it take to clean my home?

A 2-bed/2-bath standard cleaning typically runs 2–3 hours. A 3-bed/2-bath usually runs 3-4 hours. A 4-bed cleaning usually runs 4–5 hours. Deep cleans and move-out cleans typically take 50–100% longer than a standard. We’ll give you a more precise window when you book, and our teams stay until the job is done right.

Do I get the same cleaner each time?

For recurring bookings we do our best to send the same team each visit. Consistency is one of the things our customers care about most. When the regular team isn’t available (vacation, sick day, schedule conflict), we send a vetted backup cleaning team. If you want to lock in a specific team after your first clean, just tell us and we’ll prioritize it.

What are your hours, and how far in advance do I need to book?

We schedule cleanings 7 days per week, generally 8 AM to 6 PM. Same-day bookings can work if there’s a cancellation (call us to confirm), but 2–3 days’ notice is normal and a week ahead is ideal for recurring slots. You can book any time at nwmaids.com or by calling us.

What if I’m not happy with the clean?

Call or email within 24 hours and we’ll come back to redo whatever wasn’t right at no charge to you. That’s our 100% Happiness Guarantee.
