The difference between a good maid service and just any maid service can be compared to staying at a good hotel or just any hotel.  The difference is in the details!

When you hire The Cleaning Bug, not only do you get an insured, reputable company, but you will have the same maid visiting your home each and every time.  Chances are, it will even be the owner who cleans for you! That gives her the chance to learn the quirks and character of your home, so she can do a faster, better job. 

We also provide a great value.  We use all 'green' cleaning supplies, which include Seventh Generation and EcoMist. We get in all the little nooks and crannies where dust, dirt, and food particles can collect.  Ever see someone clean with toothbrushes?  On hands and knees?  That's us!

We know you would rather spend your free time doing practically anything except cleaning, so treat yourself to a fresh place everyday without lifting a finger...just like in your favorite hotel!

The Cleaning Bug realizes that cost can be an important factor in deciding on which maid service is best for you, second only to the overall quality of the service provided.  The Cleaning Bug wants to make sure we provide the biggest bang for your buck, and our price structure is built to reflect that!

INITIAL (FIRST) CLEANS, MOVE-IN/MOVE-OUT CLEANS, ONE TIME CLEANS

**$20.00 per hour for one cleaner.  City and suburban rates may differ

**For an initial clean, no walkthrough is necessary.  This helps us reserve fuel and reduce our carbon footprint.  There is a flat rate of $20 per hour for one cleaner with a three hour minimum.  That way, we don't require any of your hard-won free time to do a preliminary walk-through before quoting and you can decide what your budget is going to be.


**Initial cleans, move-in/move-out cleans, and one time cleans do tend to take longer than follow-up cleans, as the maid is working hard to get the home up to The Cleaning Bug's standards.  Remember, the dirt didn't get made in a day, so it isn't going to be cleaned in an hour! A good clean takes time, so have patience :). 

After the initial clean, if you choose to have regular service, we can then provide a flat rate quote depending on frequency of service, the size of your home, pets, how many people live there, and any special services such as cleaning inside of appliances.


Remember, we will not turn you away just because your home needs an especially good scrub!!  We want to help and turn no one away simply because of the condition of the home.  We are cleaners...that is what we are here for!

*****PLEASE NOTE:  We will go above and beyond for our clients, but there are some things that we just cannot handle.  We do not handle dirty laundry and we do not clean human waste.  We are not a substitute for appropriate nursing care.  If you would like us to scoop the litter box as part of regular services, that is not a problem.  We just cannot clean it out of upholstery or carpeting. 

When calling, please leave a message if there is no answer...Amie (the owner) takes an active role and may be with another client! The fastest, most reliable way to reach us is to submit our contact form or send us an email! 

BONUS! If you would like to chat, The Cleaning Bug is now on AOL Instant Messenger!  Our screenname is contactthebug.  You will be chatting directly with the owner!
