Regular house cleaning in Northwest Indiana
Most of what I do. The same rooms, the same order, the same person, on a rhythm you stop having to think about.
Regular house cleaning in Northwest Indiana typically runs $150 to $350 a visit depending on the size of the home and how often you have it done. A 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house of about 1,800 square feet in Valparaiso comes to roughly $285 every two weeks, or $240 weekly. Cleaning services are not subject to Indiana sales tax, so the quoted figure is the figure you pay.

Questions people ask
How much does house cleaning cost in Valparaiso, Indiana?
A 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home of about 1,800 square feet is roughly $285 every two weeks, $240 weekly, or $330 monthly. The first deep clean of the same home, the Reset, is about $565, inside the fridge and the oven included. Indiana does not charge sales tax on cleaning services, so the quoted figure is the figure.
Why does the first clean take so much longer?
Because it is undoing however long it has been since the home was properly done. On a typical 1,800 square foot home it is well over half again the work of a regular visit: inside the fridge and the oven, baseboards by hand, door frames, window tracks, blinds, vents, grout, shower runners, and behind whatever moves. It happens once, at the start. After that the regular visits keep the home there, so you never pay for it again unless you ask for it. If you want another one later, before the holidays or in spring, I quote it as a one-off from how the home looks then.
Do you send the same cleaner every time?
Yes. Maria cleans your home herself. If she ever hires, cleaners are assigned to homes and never rotated, so you will always know who is coming and you will never explain your home twice.
What areas do you serve in Northwest Indiana?
Valparaiso, Chesterton, Crown Point, Winfield, St. John, Munster, Dyer, Schererville, Portage, Ogden Dunes, Michigan City, Long Beach, Beverly Shores, Wanatah, Westville, Kouts, Hebron, Hobart, Merrillville and La Porte, across Porter, Lake and LaPorte counties, plus the smaller towns between them. Anywhere in Indiana within about 50 miles of Valparaiso is in the area. Not Illinois and not Michigan.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No, and there is nothing to cancel. You can stop whenever you like. One exception, stated plainly before you book: book a regular schedule and your first deep clean comes with an ongoing cleaning credit, shown on your quote. Stop before your third visit and that credit goes on your final bill.
A few questions about your home, and it has a plan.
No call, no sales visit, and nothing charged until your home is done.
