Recurring house cleaning in Washington, DC

Recurring house cleaning keeps your home at the same standard all year, with no catch-up cleaning weekends.

Weekly house cleaning

Best for families, pet owners and busy households that don't want dust, dirt and everyday mess to build up.

Biweekly cleaning service

A professional clean every two weeks keeps most homes consistently tidy without weekly service.

Monthly house cleaning

A regular reset for homes that stay fairly tidy between visits.

One-time house cleaning

Hosting guests, getting ready for an event, or trying us out first? Book a single cleaning with no commitment.

Standard cleaning vs. deep cleaning

Standard cleaning is maintenance for a home that's already in good shape.

If your home has built-up grime, soap scum or grease, or hasn't had a thorough clean in a while, start with a deep cleaning. Then recurring standard cleaning keeps it that way.

Add-on services

Standard cleaning covers routine tasks. Add any of these when you book:

  • Inside the oven
  • Inside the fridge
  • Interior windows
  • Dishes
  • Laundry
  • Post-construction cleaning

Specialty work like carpet shampooing, wall washing or heavy buildup removal falls under deep cleaning or a specialist service.

What our clients say

I couldn’t ask for more they did the extra mile in my house for my baby’s birthday 🎉 🙌 Thank you so much Ana and team for your service

I have had Ana and her team as cleaners for the last three years. They are always on time and very detailed in their cleans.

They were able to get a move in clean done the day after I first contacted them, and did fantastic work. Made everything spotless even the outside windows. Couldn’t be happier and definitely plan to use Rent Maids again.

What does standard house cleaning include?

Dusting, vacuuming, sweeping and mopping, kitchen and bathroom cleaning, making beds, cleaning mirrors and glass, wiping high-touch surfaces and emptying trash.

Weekly suits busy households with kids or pets, biweekly keeps most homes consistently tidy, and monthly works for homes that stay tidy between visits.

Do you offer weekly, biweekly and monthly cleaning?

Yes. All three are available, plus one-time cleanings.

Do house cleaners bring their own supplies?

Yes. We bring our own professional cleaning supplies and equipment.

Do I need to be home?
