How Outsourcing Cleaning Can Give You a Real Holiday

Posted on December 17, 2025 by maidbrigade - About Us, Seasonal

You Deserve a Holiday That Feels Like a Break

You’ve made the list. You’re checking it twice. And if we’re being honest, you’re the one making the holidays happen: the gifts, the meals, the schedule, the magic. But when you’re juggling family events, work deadlines, shopping, decorating, and school calendars, something’s got to give. And you deserve a holiday, too.

This year, during National Stress-Free Family Holiday Month, we invite you to reimagine the season with one simple change: let someone else clean.

Why the Holidays Feel So Overwhelming

The emotional and logistical weight of the holidays often falls disproportionately on one person in most households. If that’s you, you’re not alone. In fact, 41% of American adults report a noticeable increase in their stress levels around the holiday season. 43% of adults also report feeling so stressed that they struggle to celebrate and be of good cheer.

Sure, some stress is unavoidable, but a surprising amount comes down to this:

A cluttered, messy house that never feels “ready”
Guests arriving when your home is in chaos
Spending your rare downtime scrubbing floors
Guilt about what you should have gotten to already

These are the invisible tensions, the ones that linger in the background and steal your joy. But here’s the good news: they’re totally fixable.

The Power of Outsourcing (And Why It’s Not a Luxury)

Outsourcing your holiday cleaning isn’t an indulgence. Think about it as being wise with your time, energy, and mental health.

Here’s what you gain when you bring in professional home cleaners like Maid Brigade:

1. A Reset You Don’t Have to Manage

Our team arrives on time, works efficiently, and leaves your space spotless without you having to coordinate or lift a finger.

2. More Time for What Matters

Cleaning eats up hours. We give them back to you, so you can wrap gifts, decorate the tree, or just sit with a warm cup of coffee.

3. A Calm, Guest-Ready Home

From entryways to bathrooms, we ensure your home looks and feels fresh, so you’re proud (not panicked) when people drop by.

4. Reduced Mental Load

Every time you walk past the mess, your brain logs another unfinished task. With us on your team, that burden disappears.

5. Safe, Healthy Living Spaces

Our PUREcleaning® system uses non-toxic, family-safe products that clean deeper without harsh chemicals, perfect for homes with pets, kids, or sensitive guests.

Why You Can Say Yes to Maid Brigade

In your home, you’re the planner, the glue. You’re the one everyone counts on and the one who’s usually too busy to stop and breathe. For you, outsourcing cleaning is more than convenient. It’s a relief. It’s someone finally saying, “You don’t have to do this alone.”

Maid Brigade shows up not just with mops and vacuums, but with reliability, professionalism, and deep respect for your time and effort. That’s why you can trust us.

When to Bring In Help (Hint: It's Not Just Pre-Party)

You don’t need to wait for a big event. Here are moments when professional help makes all the difference:

Before holiday travel
After out-of-town guests leave
When hosting a large dinner or open house
During school breaks when messes multiply
As a gift to yourself (or a loved one) who needs a break
After the holidays for a true seasonal reset

How a Cleaner Home Helps You Buy Less and Live Better

Posted on November 24, 2025 by maidbrigade - About Us, Home Organization

What Use Less Stuff Day Reminds Us About Our Homes

Every year on November 20th, Use Less Stuff Day offers a gentle reminder: we often have more than we need. But in the chaos of the holiday season, it’s easy to forget that. Decor, gifts, sales, more decor… more stuff. It piles up both physically and mentally.

At Maid Brigade, we believe a clean home does more than sparkle. It makes space for calm, for meaning, and for conscious living. In fact, one of the most overlooked benefits of professional cleaning is how it helps you buy less and live better.

Let’s talk about how.

Clutter Creates Confusion and Overconsumption

When your home feels chaotic, it's easy to assume you need more. More bins. More storage. Maybe even a new aesthetic. But often, it’s not about needing more, it’s about seeing less clearly.

Here’s how clutter can trick you into overspending:

You forget what you already have.
How many times have you bought more batteries, dish soap, or paper towels, only to find a stash later?
You feel overwhelmed and disorganized.
That sense of mental clutter can lead to impulse purchases that promise to make life easier: products, containers, gadgets.
You compensate with convenience.
When the kitchen is messy or the laundry’s backed up, takeout and extra errands become a crutch.

When your home is clean, clear, and functional, you’re less likely to seek solutions in the shopping cart. This is especially true during the holiday season.

A Clean Space = A Curated Life

We know the average homeowner doesn’t just value a tidy space. They value intention. They love a well-curated room, thoughtfully chosen items, and the peace that comes from a home that feels like theirs. The fact of the matter is, too much clutter can leave your home feeling less like your place to land and more like a chaotic storage unit.

Here’s how a clean home supports the lifestyle we’re envisioning:

1. You Appreciate What You Own

When your surfaces are clean and clutter-free, your favorite items can shine. That vase you love. That cozy throw blanket. Clean spaces elevate what you already have.

2. You Pause Before Adding More

A pristine room gives you a moment of pause before you add something new to it. You ask: “Do I really need this? Will it disrupt the balance?”

3. You Shop More Sustainably

With clarity comes consciousness. You’re more likely to choose fewer, better things when you aren’t battling mess or decision fatigue.

4. You Sleep More Soundly

A cluttered or chaotic space can keep your nervous system in overdrive, even while you sleep. A freshly cleaned bedroom promotes calm, reduces allergens, and sets the stage for deeper rest.

5. You Gain a Sense of Accomplishment

There’s something deeply satisfying about walking into a space you’ve cared for and decluttered. A clean home creates small daily wins, moments where you feel in control, proud, and at peace with your environment.

Cleaning That Supports a Sustainable Home

At Maid Brigade, we’ve always believed cleaning should support your well-being.

Here’s how we help create a cleaner home that provides sustainable living:

Fewer, Better Products
Our PUREcleaning® system uses electrolyzed water to disinfect without harsh chemicals so you don’t need a dozen bottles under the sink.
Non-toxic for Kids, Pets, and Planet
You’ll breathe easier (literally) knowing your home isn’t filled with artificial fragrances or chemical residue.
Less Waste, More Purpose
Our team helps you maintain a home where everything has a place. That means fewer impulse storage solutions, fewer “quick fixes,” and more sustainable choices.
A Trusted Partner in the Holidays and Beyond
We’re not just here for the holiday deep clean (though we do that beautifully). We’re here to support the kind of lifestyle you want year-round: intentional and elegant.

Decluttering = Mental Clarity, Too

Studies show that clean homes are tied to:

Lower stress and anxiety
Improved focus and decision-making
A greater sense of control and satisfaction

These aren’t just nice-to-haves. They’re the foundation for a life that’s full of enough. When your home feels light and breathable, you do, too.

FAQ: Clean Homes and Conscious Living

How does cleaning help reduce overconsumption?
When your home is organized and cared for, you become more aware of what you have and less likely to buy duplicates or make impulse purchases to soothe clutter stress.

What is green cleaning, and why does it matter?
Green cleaning uses non-toxic, eco-safe methods that are healthier for you and the environment. At Maid Brigade, we use PUREcleaning® for a deep, chemical-free clean.

Can a cleaning service really support a minimalist or curated lifestyle?
Absolutely. Our services help you maintain the clarity and calm needed to live with intention rather than excess. We clean with care so your space reflects your values.

This Use Less Stuff Day, Clear Space for What Matters

Your home should support your best life. By clearing clutter, deep cleaning with care, and choosing thoughtful routines, you create more space for connection, for calm, and for what really matters.

Let Maid Brigade help you get there. Whether it’s for the holidays or your everyday life, our team is here to help you spend less time cleaning and more time living. Book your cleaning today!

What to Look for in a House Cleaning Service

Posted on September 25, 2025 by maidbrigade - About Us

Why Choosing the Right Cleaning Partner Matters

Hiring a house cleaning service should make life easier. But if you’re new to it, it’s normal to feel some hesitation: Will they be reliable? Are eco-friendly cleaners really safer? How do I know I’m getting value for my money? Am I supposed to tip my house cleaners?

These are smart questions. The truth is, not all cleaning services are alike. The best ones go beyond tidying up: they protect your health, respect your time, and give you peace of mind. Here’s a guide to what you should look for when choosing a cleaning company, plus why Maid Brigade has earned the trust of busy homeowners nationwide.

Why trust and reliability are non-negotiable in a cleaning service

Letting someone into your home is a serious exercise in trust. Reliability is the foundation of any cleaning relationship.

What to look for:

Bonded and insured teams.
Employees who pass background checks and receive professional training.
A proven reputation with strong customer reviews.

The Maid Brigade advantage:
For decades, Maid Brigade has delivered reliable service backed by vetted, insured professionals. Our teams show up on time, respect your home, and uphold the highest standards of care every visit, not just the first.

Why eco-friendly cleaners make a healthier choice

Traditional cleaning products can leave behind chemical residues that irritate allergies, asthma, or sensitive skin. Families today want a natural cleaning service that’s safe for children, pets, and the environment.

What to look for:

A green cleaning company that uses non-toxic, biodegradable products.
Methods that disinfect without leaving harmful residues.
Transparency about the products and equipment used in your home.

The Maid Brigade advantage:
Our exclusive PUREcleaning® system combines electrolyzed water with safe, non-toxic solutions. We disinfect and clean every surface with eco-friendly methods that leave your home sparkling without introducing harsh chemicals.

How health and safety should guide your decision

Clean isn’t just about appearances. Allergens like dust, dander, and pollen can build up indoors, making symptoms worse year-round.

What to look for:

HEPA filtration to trap fine particles.
Processes that remove allergens, not spread them around.
Safe disinfection for high-touch surfaces.

Maid Brigade advantage:
We use HEPA vacuums to capture microscopic particles and microfiber tools that lock in dust and pollen. Our PUREcleaning® system not only cleans but also makes your air and surfaces healthier for your family.

Why consistency and personalization matter

Many homeowners complain that a service starts strong but becomes inconsistent over time. A truly professional cleaning company delivers both reliability and flexibility.

What to look for:

Personalized cleaning plans tailored to your needs.
Consistent teams who know your preferences.
Quality checks to ensure ongoing excellence.

The Maid Brigade advantage:
We customize your cleaning plan to your schedule and priorities, whether that’s weekly upkeep or deep seasonal cleans. Our teams stay consistent so you get the same caring, reliable service every time.

How pricing and communication should work

Hidden fees and vague service descriptions are red flags. Clear, upfront communication is essential.

What to look for:

Transparent pricing and detailed estimates.
No surprise charges or unclear service lists.
Responsive customer support.

The Maid Brigade advantage:
We believe honesty builds trust. That’s why we provide straightforward quotes, flexible scheduling, and attentive local managers who keep communication clear from day one.

What proof should I look for before hiring a cleaning service?

Don’t just take a company’s word for it. Search for outside validation.

What to look for:

Reviews from verified customers.
Accreditation from trustworthy organizations.
Word-of-mouth recommendations from trusted friends or neighbors.

Maid Brigade advantage:
We’re recommended by thousands of busy families. Our reputation is built on more than clean homes. It’s built on caring relationships, health-first methods, and reliability that customers value year after year.

Checklist: When it’s time to hire a cleaning service

You may be ready to hire a professional cleaning service if:

You’re short on time and struggling to keep up with household tasks.
You or your family members have allergies made worse by dust and pollen.
You want eco-friendly cleaners who protect your health and the environment.
You need consistency and reliability, not “one and done” cleaning.

If any of these apply, it’s time to find a trusted cleaning partner.

FAQ: Common questions about hiring a cleaning service

What is a natural cleaning service?
A natural cleaning service uses non-toxic, eco-friendly products and processes to clean and disinfect your home without harsh chemicals.

Are eco-friendly cleaners as effective as traditional cleaners?
Yes. Modern green cleaning products disinfect and clean effectively while being safer for people, pets, and the planet.

How much does a house cleaning service cost?
Pricing varies by home size, frequency, and services requested. A trustworthy company like Maid Brigade provides upfront estimates without hidden fees.

How do I prepare for my first cleaning?
Simple steps like tidying clutter, securing pets, and communicating special requests help your cleaning team focus on the details that matter most.

After the Storm: Why a Professional Clean Matters for Your Health

Posted on August 25, 2025 by maidbrigade - About Us, Cleaning Tips

Consider the calm after the storm: clearing skies, gentle breezes, and, unfortunately, the realization that the wind and rain left behind a mess that you’re now responsible for cleaning up. We aren’t talking about fallen trees and blown away trash bins, either. We’re talking about the kind of mess a storm can expose inside your house.

With experts anticipating that 2025 will be a busier-than-average season for hurricanes and heavy storms, it’s time to consider the hidden health hazards of a flooded home. Maid Brigade’s no. 1 recommendation? Professional, non-toxing cleaning solutions designed to keep your home healthy, beautiful, and safe for visitors and family alike.

Storm Recovery 101: What to Watch For After the Rain Clears

When the skies clear, many homeowners breathe a sigh of relief only to discover that the real storm damage has occurred inside. Storms, especially hurricanes and tropical systems, can compromise your home’s cleanliness and safety in ways that aren’t always visible right away. From contaminated floodwater to dangerous air quality issues, the aftermath of a storm can bring serious health risks indoors.

Here’s what to watch for and how to protect your family in the days and weeks following a major weather event:

Mold

Flooding or even high humidity after a storm creates the perfect breeding ground for mold, which can start growing within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure. Mold spores thrive in damp environments and can quickly spread through drywall, carpets, baseboards, and HVAC systems, often before you even realize it’s there.

Why it matters: Mold isn’t just unsightly. It can trigger allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems, especially in children, the elderly, and anyone with a compromised immune system.

How to handle it: If your home has sustained water damage, it’s crucial to dry out affected areas immediately. But don’t stop there! Maid Brigade’s non-toxic cleaning solutions can help remove mold spores from surfaces safely, without harsh chemicals that make breathing problems worse. For extensive damage, a professional mold remediation team may be necessary.

Dangerous Flood Water

That murky water in your basement or kitchen? It could contain more than just rain. A flooded home often contains bacteria, sewage, pesticides, and other hazardous substances, especially if it has pooled near storm drains, septic systems, or industrial areas.

Why it matters: Coming into contact with contaminated water can lead to skin infections, gastrointestinal issues, or worse. Even after the water is gone, the surfaces it touched may be teeming with bacteria.How to handle it: Always wear gloves and boots when cleaning up after a flood, and avoid letting children or pets into affected areas. Once standing water is removed, deep-clean all surfaces with a disinfectant, but be wary of bleach-based products, which can create harmful fumes in enclosed spaces. Maid Brigade’s cleaning experts use safe, hospital-grade solutions that are tough on germs but gentle on your home.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

When power outages follow a storm, many homeowners turn to portable generators for electricity. But if used improperly, generators can produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide (CO): an odorless, colorless gas that can be fatal within minutes.

Why it matters: CO poisoning can cause headaches, nausea, confusion, and dizziness. In high doses, it can be deadly. Tragically, many carbon monoxide incidents after storms are preventable.

How to handle it: Never run a generator indoors or in a closed garage. Always keep it at least 20 feet away from your home, with the exhaust directed away from windows and doors. Be sure to install battery-operated CO detectors on every level of your home and test them regularly. While this doesn’t fall under our cleaning purview, we care about your whole-home safety. Awareness is the first step toward prevention.

Stay Safe, Stay Prepared

Storm recovery is about reclaiming your home as a safe, healthy space. That’s why Maid Brigade takes a non-toxic, science-backed approach to cleaning, helping homeowners bounce back from storm damage without adding harmful chemicals to the mix.

If your home has been impacted by a recent storm, don’t go it alone. Let our experienced team help you restore peace of mind with a thorough, eco-conscious clean. We’re here when you need us because a safer, healthier home is always worth it.

Don’t Miss the Trend: Why 80% of Households Will Hire a Cleaning Service Soon

Posted on July 15, 2025 by maidbrigade - About Us, Healthy Home

Big news: The household chore no one has time for is finally being outsourced. A cleaning service may seem like a luxury, but, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce, 80% of two-income households will hire professional cleaners in the near future. Juggling work, kids, and self-care leaves little time for chores, and when no one’s cleaning, a small mess can quickly become a full-blown disaster.

At Maid Brigade, we encourage you to embrace the new norm, but make sure you put careful consideration into the cleaning team you choose. You need a modern, reliable cleaning service that will understand the unique characteristics of your home and commit to providing a stellar cleaning every single time. We believe Maid Brigade is that service. Let’s look at the facts.

The Rise of Professional Cleaning Services

Why the increased demand for hiring a maid service? For starters, dual-income households, parenting demands, and wellness priorities mean cleaning often falls to the bottom of the list. Being busy doesn’t magically make cleaning tasks vanish, though. Someone needs to pick up the slack, and professional cleaning services like Maid Brigade are happy to do it. We also understand the rising concerns around toxic cleaning products, germs, and allergens, which is why we use electrolyzed water and other eco-friendly, safe-for-everyone cleaning solutions in our clients’ homes.

The increased demand for professional cleaners isn’t just a matter of convenience. Health, happiness, and peace of mind are also important to consider here, and when cleaning is always taken care of, your quality of life can only go up. It’s just a smart life decision, like ordering meal kits or paying extra for after school child care. In fact, the residential cleaning market is expected to exceed $40 billion by 2026 thanks to increased interest in safer, more consistent home care.

Why Families Are Making the Switch

So if this change isn’t just driven by the number of dust bunnies in the living room, what else is going on? Let’s dive in:

Healthier Homes

As we work with clients across the country, we’ve seen a growing awareness that a truly clean home is a healthy home. That’s something worth investing in! In the wake of COVID-19, many families re-evaluated their cleaning habits and realized just how much a clean home means to their overall health. But here’s the catch: traditional cleaning products and DIY methods can actually compromise indoor air quality and introduce harsh chemicals into your environment.

That’s why more people are seeking out green cleaning methods that both disinfect surfaces and also protect what matters most: your lungs, your children, your pets, and your long-term health. At Maid Brigade, we use non-toxic, hospital-grade solutions and HEPA-filter vacuums to eliminate dust mites, allergens, and germs without leaving a trail of chemical residues behind. A clean home should look good and help you live well.

More Time for What Matters

Ask almost any parent or professional where they feel the most pressure, and you’ll hear the same answer: there’s never enough time. Between packed work schedules, school drop-offs, after-dinner emails, and the occasional attempt at a personal life, cleaning easily becomes the task that gets postponed…if not skipped altogether.

Enter professional cleaners. By outsourcing this time-consuming responsibility, families can reclaim several hours a week. Imagine what you could do with that time: cook a real dinner, go for a walk, read a book, or just sit down with a cup of coffee in a space that feels calm and cared for.

While there might be a perception among some people that hiring a maid service is a luxury, that really isn’t the case anymore. You’re making an intentional choice to treat your time as valuable currency (which it is). This is especially true for women juggling careers, caregiving, and household management. Turning to a trusted cleaning service like Maid Brigade is a powerful way to prioritize yourself and your time without sacrificing the high standards you hold for your home.

Mental Wellness

There’s a reason tidying expert Marie Kondo became a household name: people are becoming increasingly aware of how much our environments affect our mental health. Messy counters, dusty baseboards, and overflowing laundry baskets create background stress that builds throughout the day (even if you’re not conscious of it).

When your home is clean and fresh, you feel more in control, more peaceful, and more able to enjoy the moment. It becomes easier to host friends, engage with your kids, or simply rest at the end of a long day. And that peace of mind? It’s hard to put a price tag on it.

Our customers often tell us that cleaning day with Maid Brigade becomes their “reset button” for the week: a chance to breathe deeply, and enjoy their space without stress. In other words, we create an environment that supports your best life.

You can’t put a price tag on your peace of mind

Not All Cleaning Services are Created Equal

As demand grows, so do your options, but not all cleaning services deliver the same level of care or reliability. While some platforms or local freelancers might seem budget-friendly, they often lack training and consistency. Communication can be unreliable, and products may be harsh or ineffective. When your home is your sanctuary, these shortcuts rarely pay off.

What to Look for in a Cleaning Service

Professionally trained, insured teams
Use of non-toxic, safe-for-pets-and-kids cleaning supplies
Transparent pricing and no surprise fees
A personalized, customer-first approach

(And in case you’re wondering: Yes, Maid Brigade does all these!)

Meet Maid Brigade: The Modern, Smart Choice

We’re a team of professional cleaners who care deeply about your quality of life. With regularly scheduled services, you can reclaim your time without compromising your home’s health or your own sense of trust. Just imagine: you arrive home from work and take a deep, refreshing breath.

Don’t get left behind! Outsourcing your cleaning is a form of self-care and smart living. Never tried a cleaning service before? Maid Brigade is the perfect place to start. Book your first cleaning with Maid Brigade and discover the joy of coming home to a clean, healthy space every time.

The Secret to Stress-Free Travel? Booking a Pre-Vacation Cleaning

Posted on June 17, 2025 by maidbrigade - About Us, Seasonal

Imagine this: You’re on a plane, sipping something bubbly, scrolling through your vacation playlist. The bags are checked, your out-of-office is on, and your biggest concern is whether to start with the beach or the pool. You’re completely relaxed and not once have you thought about the pile of laundry or the crumbs under the couch back home. Why? Because you scheduled a pre-vacation cleaning with Maid Brigade.

June 18 is National Wanna Get Away Day, and it’s the perfect reminder to prioritize what matters: making space for joy, adventure, and, yes, peace of mind. With your cleaning taken care of before takeoff, your vacation can start the moment you lock the front door.

Stress-Free Travel Begins With a Scheduled Cleaning

Vacations are supposed to be restorative, but all too often they’re bookended by stress. Between packing, planning, and chasing down passports, the last thing you want on your to-do list is mopping the floors. Here’s what a pre-vacation clean can do for you:

Free Up Mental Space

Planning a trip requires dozens of decisions, big and small. From booking flights to finding a pet sitter, your brain is already in overdrive. Handing off the cleaning gives you one less thing to worry about so you can stay focused on your itinerary, your loved ones, and your well-deserved time away.

Start Relaxing Before You Leave

It’s hard to get excited about a getaway when you’re surrounded by clutter and dust bunnies. A clean home sets the tone for a smooth send-off. When you know everything is fresh and in order, you can fully embrace that pre-vacation buzz instead of scrambling to tidy up the night before.

Return to a Fresh Start

Coming back from a trip often means facing a mountain of laundry, unopened mail, and a to-do list that seems to have multiplied. But when you walk into a clean home, you get a soft landing. There’s no urgent cleanup waiting, just a peaceful space that makes it easier to shift back into your day-to-day routine.

Pre-Vacation Cleaning: Where Your Home Needs it Most

Not sure where to focus your energy (or your cleaning crew) before you leave? These areas tend to make a huge difference, and Maid Brigade’s cleaning experts are equipped to handle them all:

Kitchen and Fridge

Clear out perishables and wipe down surfaces so you don’t return to funky smells or mystery spills. A fresh-smelling kitchen makes a world of difference, and coming home to clean countertops and an empty trash can just feels like home.

Bathrooms

Nothing ruins post-vacation bliss like a grimy sink or a sour-smelling towel. Cleaning your bathrooms before you go means you can enjoy a fresh, hotel-like vibe when you return. Think sparkling faucets, fresh towels, and no toothpaste blobs in sight.

Floors and Entryway

These areas collect dirt, dust, and pet hair faster than you think. Having them vacuumed and mopped before you go ensures a clean welcome when you walk through the door. Plus, it helps keep your home allergen-free while you’re away.

Laundry

Nobody wants to return from vacation with a suitcase full of dirty clothes and a full laundry basket. Getting caught up on laundry beforehand means you’re starting from zero when you return and have more space to unpack and get organized.

Bedding

Picture yourself coming home, throwing your bags in the corner, and sinking into freshly washed sheets. There’s no better feeling. A pre-trip bedding refresh helps your body rest after long travel days and eases your transition back into home life.
Check out our Pre-Vacay Checklist below for key cleaning items you don’t want to overlook before traveling:

The Gift of Time: Give Mom a Cleaning-Free Weekend

Posted on May 5, 2025 by maidbrigade - About Us, Seasonal

Moms are often the busiest people we know. Their to-do lists are miles long, and those lists almost never include a checkbox for “rest and relaxation.” Whether they’re driving the kids to and from soccer practice or packing everyone’s lunches, moms are often focused on the little things, the essential household tasks that keep their families happy and healthy. Don’t they deserve some time off?

Maid Brigade certainly thinks so. Here’s how we see it: Shelves are getting dustier. The floor is super sticky. Even if moms can’t tackle every mess, they still notice dirt and grime building up. They likely wish they could grow a few extra arms or, better yet, pack even more hours into their already action-packed days and weekends.

That’s why one of the best gifts for mom this Mother’s Day weekend is a visit from professional cleaners. Maid Brigade may not be able to give mom extra arms, but we can give her valuable time back. Explore all the reasons a surprise cleaning (or, even better, a year-round home maid service) is the sweetest surprise for the sweetest person you know.

The Best Gift for Mom? A Sparkling Home

Turns out the best gifts for mom aren’t flowers, chocolates, or even jewelry. Just picture mom’s smile when she arrives home after our professional cleaners have scrubbed everything from top to bottom. That ear-to-ear grin you’re envisioning is all the evidence you need to schedule a cleaning service ASAP.

A clean home will certainly make mom’s entire weekend — but there are other benefits to consider as well:

The Cleaning’s On Our Clock (Not Mom’s)

True, time is intangible, but it’s also the most valuable gift you can give. The minutes and hours mom would otherwise spend cleaning can now be spent on fun activities like gardening, watching a movie, or relaxing with loved ones. Maybe she’ll decide to take a much needed nap. No matter how her extra hours are spent, a professional cleaning clears the way for leisure and newfound freedom.

And what would all that extra time look like if you scheduled a weekly, biweekly, or monthly home maid service? Regular visits from professional cleaners can help revamp mom’s schedule, giving her the ability to plan ahead and accomplish all the tasks and activities that typically get put on the back burner. For instance, instead of taking an hour to deep clean the kitchen, she can take an hour long yoga class!

Reduced Stress Levels

It’s no surprise that cleaning may not take priority in mom’s busy life. In fact, it may be a major source of stress. What if someone stops by and there are piles of unfolded laundry on the couch? What if those dirty dishes that are steadily stacking up are setting a bad example for the kids? A home maid service can help set these worries aside for the weekend, allowing mom to take a deep breath and enjoy Mother’s Day as it was intended.

The peace of mind we’re describing doesn’t have to be limited to a single weekend. All the anxiety mom typically experiences over the state of her home can be mopped, vacuumed, and swept away by the careful attention of our professional cleaners any time of year. Don’t make mom sweat the small stuff. Her home is a clean and beautiful representation of her life and family. She just needs a helping hand from the experts at Maid Brigade.

Improved Health

A clean home is a healthy home, and when professional cleaners like ours handle the details, you and mom can rest assured that common seasonal allergens and stuffy, stale air will be cleared.

AI vs Human Cleaners: Can Smart Tech Really Replace Professional Cleaners?

Posted on April 24, 2025 by maidbrigade - About Us, Cleaning Tips

As we mentioned, robots don’t always get the job done right. Smart home technology is often better suited to managing thermostat settings, security camera footage, and other mundane tasks that make life easier. Cleaning, on the other hand, is not so simple:

Details Matter

You know those hidden corners and crevices that always seem to collect the most dust? Well, robot mops and vacuums likely aren’t capable of reaching and recognizing them all. Dusty shelves and window sills will also be completely out of reach for this type of technology, and when it comes to deep cleaning, you can’t depend on anything electronic to get your home sparkling again.

Flexibility Matters, Too

Unlike professional cleaners, smart cleaning tools can’t make seamless transitions between cleaning the different rooms in your house and tackling the unique challenges in each one. Can your robot vacuum scrub a toilet? Can it leave perfect vacuum lines in your bedroom carpet? We didn’t think so. Plus, major spills and messes will trip up even the most advanced robot cleaning device, leaving human hands to handle shattered glass, the grossness your pets leave behind, and other problems that should be cleaned quickly after they’ve happened.

Don’t Underestimate a Personal Touch

Any cleaning team that visits your home on a regular basis is bound to learn the quirks and peculiarities of your space, along with the special tasks and finishing touches that help you feel like your home is officially spotless. Professional cleaners can read the notes you leave and take your feedback into account rather than performing the repetitive, automated chores that smart cleaning tech has been programmed for.

Smart Cleaning Trends

Look, smart cleaning tech isn’t going to replace professional cleaners anytime soon. However, we think it’s worth staying on top of the latest AI cleaning trends that are redefining how people maintain their homes. Even the best cleaning team can’t monitor your home 24/7, and if you find yourself overwhelmed by the day-to-day upkeep of your environment, there are tools that can help ease your stress.

Here are a few examples of features we find useful:

Connectivity and Control: Using AI-powered features such as smart mapping, virtual boundaries, and voice commands, the cleaning devices you allow to roam free in your home while you’re away will continue to deliver better and better results. In fact, many robot mops and vacuums are accompanied by apps that put all the necessary controls and maintenance alerts in one convenient place. At work? Out running errands? In just a few clicks, your floors can be mopped or vacuumed clean — just not quite as clean as our teams could get them.

Maid Brigade is only a phone call away. If you want to make changes to your cleaning schedule or request additional services, all you have to do is ask.

Automated Air Quality Management: Have you ever heard of a smart air purifier? In our modern age, these machines can now adjust their settings based on real-time air quality data, improving your home’s freshness and giving your health and well being a boost.

Don’t forget that Maid Brigade’s HEPA-filtration vacuums can help you see 4x better air quality. And that’s just a standard feature of our cleaning process!

Eco-Friendly Capabilities: It’s true: the “green” settings on many smart cleaning devices are designed to conserve energy, water, or both, soothing your conscience and keeping your home in good shape between visits from your favorite local cleaner.

.speech-left { position: relative; background: #005E82; color: white; padding: 20px; border-radius: 20px; max-width: 480px; margin: 40px 0 60px; font-family: sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 18px; line-height: 32px; box-shadow: 0 4px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); } .speech-left::before { content: ""; position: absolute; top: 25px; left: -20px; width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 10px solid transparent; border-right: 20px solid #005E82; border-bottom: 10px solid transparent; } .speech-left a{ color: white; text-decoration: underline; } .speech-left a:hover{ color: #F49D1E; text-decoration: underline; }

This is your reminder that Maid Brigade’s only cleaning setting is “green.” With non-toxic electrolyzed water and a step-by-step system designed to conserve resources and sanitize your home, you can rest assured that your home (and the environment) are safe with us.

Clean Smarter, Not Harder. Rely on AI cleaning and robot devices for basic maintenance tasks between cleanings. Rely on Maid Brigade for the REAL work - custom cleanings, deep cleanings, and all the detailed tasks that make your home shine.

Maid Brigade Sends Professional Cleaners

Not robots. Our cleaners are experts in the techniques and attention to detail required to keep your home pristine. Real human hands and real human eyes are so much more powerful than AI, and it’s a lot less weird to say, “Thank you!” to a living, breathing cleaning team as they leave your house.
So, choose the real smart cleaning solution. Choose your local Maid Brigade!

Tipping Etiquette for House Cleaners: What You Need to Know

Posted on April 10, 2025 by maidbrigade - About Us, Cleaning Tips

Do you tip house cleaners? The short answer is “yes,” but the intricacies of tipping etiquette make the answer a little more complicated. If, when, and how much you tip is really up to you. As Maid Brigade general manager Sarah Bettey explains, “Tipping isn’t expected like it is in the restaurant industry, but if you feel that the team has done a fantastic job, you are more than welcome to reward them for that.” We estimate that about 20% of our regular customers give cash tips, while others request that their tip be included in the price of their cleaning.

If you’re preparing to hire professional cleaners for the first time, this sort of information may help you determine whether to tip, but we have even more advice for you on tipping etiquette. Consider this your comprehensive guide for tipping options and standards. Maid Brigade strives to give you a cleaning experience that inspires you and rejuvenates the spirit of your home, and if tipping is part of that experience, we want you to feel comfortable and confident doing so.

When to Tip

Do you tip house cleaners when they’re extra friendly? When they remember your dog’s name and give careful attention to those drapes that get extra dusty? This is where our assertion that tipping is “really up to you” comes in. Our cleaning teams seek to provide expert cleaning services that meet and beat your expectations every time, but the reality is that a “tip-worthy” cleaning experience is highly subjective. Here are a couple things to be mindful of:

Regular Cleaning Services

Whether your cleaning team comes once a week or once a month, a regular tip can communicate the appreciation and connection you feel to the wonderful individuals who clean your home. Regular clients typically receive visits from the same cleaning team each time, so you’re bound to see some friendly faces.

We also encourage you to hand tips directly to your cleaning team as they’re leaving, rather than leaving money in an envelope or on a random surface.This eliminates potential confusion and mix ups. “We want to make sure that [tips] land in the right hands,” Maid Brigade franchise owner Alan Walstad explains.

Handling the Holidays

Tipping etiquette often goes hand in hand with giving your cleaners a holiday bonus. Alan shares that “many of our regular clients prefer to just tip once a year and that might be near Christmas,” showing generosity and appreciation in a larger amount of cash that’s representative of 12 months of hard work and exceptional cleanings. The holiday season is typically full of good cheer and the giving spirit, so if it makes the most sense to tip during this time, go for it!

Tips vs. Additional Services

Some services that professional cleaners provide, such as changing bedsheets or cleaning the refrigerator, will need to be discussed with the person who schedules your service. Offering your cleaning team tips or any form of additional payment to perform tasks that aren’t included in your initial cleaning agreement is not the right way to upgrade your service. Our advice? Just call and ask! We want you to be satisfied with the look and feel of your home, and we’re happy to adjust how we’re tackling your cleaning.

How to Tip — And How Much

Sarah says that $10 per maid or 10% of the total cleaning bill are standard tipping amounts. This may vary depending on where you live or the overall cost of your cleaning, but it’s definitely worth considering if you’re sitting down to calculate how much to tip. You should aim to be generous but not over generous, keeping in mind that you are one of many houses your cleaning team visits on any given day.

Remember those holiday tips we mentioned? Our franchisees and general managers see tips that range from $200 to $500 towards the end of the year, but there is no required standard. Holiday tips and bonuses will exceed the usual amount you would tip, but the precise total is completely up to you.

Other Ways to Show Your Appreciation

Cash is a simple, straightforward way to say “thank you,” but if a tip isn’t in your personal budget right now, there are creative ways to tell your professional cleaners that they’ve done an excellent job.

Google Reviews and Phone Calls

Write a review! Five shining stars, positive words, and beautiful pictures are appreciated by cleaning teams and business owners alike. A quick phone call to your local Maid Brigade office is yet another way to drop a heartfelt “thank you” for a fabulous cleaning. As Alan points out, these phone calls often get relayed directly to the cleaning teams, spreading positivity and encouragement to keep up their incredible work.

Tipping Etiquette 101: "Tips are wonderful, but if clients aren't comfortable with that or don't feel it's appropriate, we certainly don't expect it." -Alan Walstad of Maid Brigade of Phoenix

Recommend Your House Cleaners

Word of mouth reviews are great, too. When you tell your friends, family, and neighbors about your stellar cleaning team — or your stellar cleaning company — you’re spreading the message about Maid Brigade’s reliable, exceptional service. Even if your cleaning team doesn’t hear it from you directly, you’re still doing something great for your local business.

Notes, Affirmations, and Tokens of Gratitude

Want your words of appreciation to reach your actual cleaners? A verbal pat on the back can go a long way in stoking your cleaning team’s confidence and letting them know that you see and appreciate the incredible work they’re doing to keep your home in tip-top shape.

You can also leave a thank you card or note on your refrigerator, counter, or end table to express how thankful you’re feeling. Hand-written messages like “thanks for making my home look so beautiful!” or “amazing work!” can be a cherished personal touch. Store-bought thank you cards are just as sweet for our professional cleaners to receive as they’re leaving your home. Gift cards are yet another thoughtful way to share and show your gratitude.

Please note that Maid Brigade advises our cleaning teams not to accept food from our clients, so it would be best to avoid baked goods, snacks, candy, gum, etc.

Maid Brigade’s Professional Cleaners Go Above and Beyond

A thorough, detailed cleaning is Maid Brigade’s standard, and all our cleaning teams take that standard seriously. As much as a clean home is a source of pride for you, it’s also a source of pride for our cleaners. A sparkling bathroom, a fully refreshed kitchen, and spotless, dirt-free floors are satisfying signs of a successful cleaning and a job well done.

Don’t forget to ask how we can customize your cleaning to address problem areas or help you handle tasks like folding laundry or deep-cleaning your oven. We offer a full array of consistent cleaning service options like weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly, and we can also provide specialty cleanings when you’re hosting for the holidays or turning over a new leaf.

Electrolyzed Water vs. Traditional Cleaners: What Makes It Safer and More Effective?

Posted on February 27, 2025 by maidbrigade - About Us, Cleaning Tips

When was the last time you read the ingredients on the back of a bottle of traditional household cleaner? The long, meandering list of unfamiliar chemicals and hard-to-pronounce, potentially toxic substances that make up the average cleaning agent may raise a few alarm bells in your head. Is this safe for your home? Can it hurt your kids and pets?

Maid Brigade does away with worrying questions like these by using electrolyzed water to create a pure, clean environment that’s free of any past-product buildup and lacks harmful residues and odors. We’re thinking deeper than just eliminating dirt and grime. We’re thinking about your family’s health, and about how every surface has the potential to harbor germs, allergens, and irritants. In other words, we care about helping you create a safe, inviting home. We care about helping you create a space where you can thrive in your everyday life.

But what is electrolyzed water, exactly? How does it work, and what makes it safer and more effective than those chemical cleaning solutions we mentioned? Rest assured that this blog has all the answers and the assurance that a cleaning service that uses electrolyzed water to clean your home is providing only the highest quality disinfection techniques.

Electrolyzed Water: Understanding the Science

Also known as e-water, this cleaning solution relies on water, salt, and electricity to create the following components, which are just as powerful as they are eco-friendly:

Hypochlorous Acid: This is a natural disinfectant. While it’s busy fighting off bacteria, viruses, and other harmful pathogens, it remains a non-toxic and totally safe cleaner for humans.
Sodium Hydroxide: Eliminating germs is just one part of the cleaning equation. In order to sanitize and tackle grease and grime, sodium hydroxide is necessary to get floors and other surfaces squeaky clean and dirt-free. This includes cutting through the build up left behind from past products.

Electrolyzed Water and You: Safe, Powerful Cleanup

What could be safer than salt and water? Now that the science is clear, we want to truly explain the difference between e-water and the chemical cleaning solutions you’re likely more familiar with. Here’s why electrolyzed water is simply superior:

Non-Toxic: Electrolyzed water is the key ingredient in a cleaning process that poses zero risks to your home’s health and safety. You’re safe, your kids are safe, and so are your pets and plants. There are no dyes, no phosphates, and, as we’ll explore later, no fragrances.
Non-Corrosive: The two cleaning solutions we’ve described above work separately to clean and disinfect without corroding surfaces. The result is gentle yet effective, protecting your home from costly damage.
No Synthetic Fragrance: Although electrolyzed water may produce a slight smell of chlorine, we can assure you that this is just a smell and not a harmful fragrance. This means the air in your home is safe to breathe and every surface and doorknob is safe to touch.
No-Nonsense Cleaning Solution: Mold, mildew, bacteria, and viruses don’t stand a chance. The innovative, evidence-based, practical technology that makes electrolyzed water possible gives pure cleaning a new, higher standard.

Chemical cleaners just can’t measure up. Ammonia, bleach, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are linked to serious health concerns such as cancer and liver damage, and, unfortunately, they are the most common components of traditional household cleaners. And think about how corrosive bleach can be. Burns and irritation will result if it comes into contact with your skin or eyes, and things like wooden furniture and stainless steel appliances can suffer damage or loss of color when bleach is used as a cleaner.

Synthetic fragrances are also highly toxic, and yet their protected status as “trade secrets” allows them to be used even in “all natural” cleaning alternatives. In fact, one study found that out of 17 randomly selected natural cleaning products, a staggering 90% contained a harmful chemical that wasn’t listed on the label.
With so much happening behind the scenes and so many cleaning products to choose from, it can be hard to know what the right choice for your home’s health and safety are. You want to imagine a house that’s also a sanctuary, a haven you can return to at the end of the day without the worries of lingering chemicals or germs. You want genuine laughter, genuine relaxation, and a space where memories are safe to be made. That’s why Maid Brigade wants to emphasize the importance of a safe cleaner—the kind of professional who uses only green cleaning products and prioritizes your well-being alongside your cleaning.

Choose the Safe Cleaner. Choose Maid Brigade!

Maid Brigade puts health and safety first thanks to our PUREcleaning® system. Using electrolyzed water, color-coded allergy-free, antibacterial cloths, and HEPA-filtration vacuums, we’re able to provide a consistent, high-quality clean every time we enter your home. Our professional cleaners move from room to room with one simple mission: creating an environment that looks and feels as clean and healthy as it actually is.

Holiday Prep Made Easy: How Maid Brigade Takes Cleaning Off Your To-Do List

Posted on November 21, 2024 by maidbrigade - About Us, Cleaning Tips

Getting ready for the holidays? The last thing you want to do is add “make more time for cleaning” and “buy new vacuum filters” to your already packed to-do list. Whether you’re hosting dinner parties or having overnight guests, the holiday season is prime time for a professional cleaning service.

Why?

While you’re busy decluttering, decorating, and preparing meals and gifts for your loved ones, dirt, grime, and dust are busy collecting on your furniture and surfaces. A seasonal cleaning can handle these issues and spruce up your home so it’s clean, cozy, and safe for any size holiday gathering.

No matter what you and your family are celebrating, we’re all about helping you create that “home for the holidays” feeling. In this blog, we’ll highlight the common concerns of holiday cleaning and give you our expert take on why a professional cleaning service is the gift that keeps on giving.

Is Your Home Holiday Ready?

Holiday prep involves way more work than just decorating your home. As you’re getting ready for the holidays to arrive, Maid Brigade encourages you to pay attention to the key areas listed below. We also want to remind you that we’re here to help during this stressful but celebratory time of year, allowing you to breeze through your favorite holidays and into the new year with a fresh, clean home.

Wave Goodbye to Clutter

It’s nearing the end of the year, and you’ve been collecting odds, ends, and unnecessary clutter for the past ten months. Throw away, donate, or organize as best you can to make room for holiday cheer. After all, you’re setting the stage for the most wonderful time of the year. Singing Hanukkah songs. Lighting the kinara for Kwanza. Setting out cookies for Santa. No matter how your family makes merry, your floors and furniture should be clear of all unnecessary items so everyone has room to sit, chat, feast, and enjoy. This will also help Maid Brigade’s team members access hard-to-reach areas and create the clean, welcome home feeling you want your guests to have as soon as they walk through the door.

Family Spaces

From your dining room table to your kitchen island, your home is full of spaces where you and your loved ones will gather and reconnect this holiday season. That’s what makes a true holiday cleaning more than just a whole-house sweep to vacuum, remove cobwebs, and spot clean. Our experts see clean rooms as memories in the making, glowing opportunities for your family to laugh, share food, and simply enjoy the moment without having to worry about whether or not their surroundings are sanitary and safe. Thanks to Maid Brigade, all your cherished spaces are sanitary and safe.

Get Cozy and Comfortable

Blankets, pillows, and flickering candles can help set the mood for holiday gatherings and activities, and so can a sparkling clean kitchen. Spotless countertops are ready for food prep — and all the family gossip you need to catch up on. Meanwhile, clean and inviting chairs and sofas give guests a place to kick back and relax, soaking in the bright holiday mood. But wait, isn’t it flu season? No one wants the gift of a cough and runny nose, and that’s why our professional cleaning services emphasize disinfecting your home of all germs and bacteria. We prioritize safety so you can prioritize your annual celebrations.

’Tis the Season for Professional Cleaning

All of the essentials we’ve described above would be tough to tackle on your own. That’s why there’s never been a better time to schedule a holiday cleaning with a real expert like Maid Brigade. Here are some of the benefits you can expect from our professional cleaning services:

Reduced Stress

A professional cleaning can stop stress in its tracks. In addition to cleaning your home, we’re clearing away all the tension and worry that’s building in your mind as you scramble to purchase gifts, send cards, and make your home look like a winter wonderland. It’s okay to cross “holiday cleaning” off your to-do list, because we’re here to handle it for you. We want you to truly enjoy the holidays, and when you sit down to savor the beautiful meal you prepared or watch your favorite holiday movie, you should be able to breathe a sigh of relief. Your home is clean, your family is happy, and you’ve made holiday hosting an undeniable success without having to scrub a thing.

If you schedule our deep cleaning services, you can also enjoy peace of mind that both the holidays and the new year will greet you with a squeaky clean home. With so many visitors coming in and out of your house and the potential for snow, sand, and salt to be tracked across your floors, chances are you’ll need the added touch of a thorough seasonal cleaning.

Time Saved

Picture this: you have the time to sample your cookie recipe, put together the perfect outfit, and sit back and admire the scenery. Your guests will arrive soon, and everything is clean and ready for their arrival.

Getting ready for holiday events should be about enjoying the process and watching the spirit of the season come alive under your guidance and care. However, without a professional cleaning, you may find yourself rushing from task to task and not enjoying yourself at all. Your time is limited during the holiday season, and Maid Brigade can help give more of it back. With our highly detailed approach to hidden areas like windowsills and that pesky space behind your couch, we can replace your hectic sense of pre-party panic with a serene “you’ve got this” feeling, saving you precious minutes and hours.

Happy Holiday Cleaning with Maid Brigade

If you want your home to look like a bright holiday card this year, Maid Brigade can help with professional cleaning services designed to make your home sparkle.

Pause Before You Unpack: Why Move-In Cleaning is Essential

Posted on October 16, 2024 by maidbrigade - About Us, Cleaning Tips

Moving into a new home represents a new chapter in your life, but before you start unpacking and telling your family’s story, don’t forget to schedule a thorough move-in cleaning. Whether it’s newly built or previously owned, your home can be safe, sanitary, and visibly clean before you even arrive. That’s the power of Maid Brigade and our PUREcleaning® system. Let’s explore why a move-in cleaning is essential and how it can be the perfectly polished beginning to your residential home cleaning service routine.

Why Move-In Cleaning Matters

Think everything is clean and ready for you to unpack as soon as you move in? Think again. Surfaces can still harbor germs, dust, allergens, and grime left behind by previous occupants. Even if your home looks clean at first glance, there can be hidden areas that need special attention — areas that a casual, surface-level cleaning may miss.

A professional move-in cleaning involves a top-to-bottom deep clean of the entire home, including those hard-to-reach places like under appliances, inside cabinets, and around baseboards. Here are some other important areas a move-in cleaning will tackle:

Bathroom and Kitchen: As common breeding grounds for harmful viruses, bacteria, and pathogens, these locations in your home require a high level of disinfecting and cleaning to ensure the health and safety of your family.
Dust Traps: Dust tends to settle in every corner, including vents, windowsills, and ceiling fan blades. If you or your loved ones are allergy sufferers, moving into a dusty environment can trigger unpleasant symptoms. A move-in cleaning can help you avoid them!
High-Traffic Areas: Floors, countertops, and door handles — the objects everyone is always touching — often accumulate grime and sticky residue. If these aren’t well-cleaned before you move in, that’s one extra mess you'll have to deal with when you should be unpacking and organizing.

Professional Cleaning Makes All the Difference

While you may consider tackling move-in cleaning yourself, there are many reasons to leave it to the professionals. Your tried and true household cleaners may not effectively cut through tough grime or disinfect surfaces properly. Plus, moving is already stressful. Why overwhelm yourself by adding a deep clean to your to-do list?

Here’s where Maid Brigade can help. Our residential home cleaning services go above and beyond standard cleaning. Thanks to our exclusive PUREcleaning® system, our move-in & move-out cleaning can provide a deeper, more effective clean so you can enjoy a truly fresh start.

Maid Brigade's PUREcleaning® System: A Green Clean Like No Other

Unlike traditional cleaning methods, Maid Brigade’s PUREcleaning® system uses powerful, eco-friendly cleaning solutions that remove dirt while disinfecting and purifying your home’s air. The process is simple and squeaky clean:

Electrolyzed Water: Our cleaning solution is created through a process that combines water, salt, and electricity to produce an all-natural cleaner that’s tough on grime but safe for your family and pets.
Disinfection: PUREcleaning® goes beyond surface cleaning. It eliminates 99.9% of germs and bacteria without the use of harsh chemicals, leaving your home healthier and safer.
HEPA Filter Vacuums: We use HEPA-filtered vacuums to trap dust and allergens, improving the air quality in your home and making it a healthier, more welcoming environment from day one.
Green Cleaning: If you’re concerned about the impact of chemicals on your health and the environment, you can rest assured that our PUREcleaning® system is an eco-friendly cleaning solution that aligns with your values.

Residential Home Cleaning Services and You

Once you’ve had a professional move-in cleaning, you’ve set a strong foundation for maintaining your home. A thorough cleaning makes it much easier to keep up with regular tidying tasks, and Maid Brigade can be your partner in keeping your home spotless as you continue to settle in and live your new life. By scheduling regular cleanings, you can create a healthy, happy home that always meets your and your family’s standards of cleanliness.

Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning: A Must-Have for Any Transition

Whether you’re moving in or out, a professional cleaning service is an essential element of a stress-free change. A move-out cleaning can help you secure your deposit or leave a great impression on the new owners. A move-in cleaning, on the other hand, can prepare your new space for your incoming furniture and family members. At Maid Brigade, our move-in & move-out cleaning services will give you that “welcome home” feeling the moment you step through the door.

Maid Brigade Cares About Your Comfort and Your Home

We understand that your time is valuable and your health is a priority. That’s why we’ve developed the PUREcleaning® system to give you a cleaning experience that’s more effective, eco-friendly, and health-conscious than typical cleaning methods. Our team is trained to clean with care and precision, so you can make your new house feel just like home. No need to worry about dirt and germs from previous occupants.
