Fresh Tech Maid provides chemical-free house cleaning in Hoffman Estates. Our Northwest Suburbs office is in Arlington Heights. This page answers the questions Hoffman Estates homeowners, renters, condo residents and busy families ask most.
Yes. Our Northwest Suburbs team serves Hoffman Estates from our Arlington Heights office. Hoffman Estates has about 18,500 households, and 74.2% of them own their home (CMAP, 2026). Family households make up 77.2% of the village, so many clients have children and busy weekday schedules.
To check your ZIP code, use our ZIP codes page or enter it on the booking page. If you are not sure we cover your street, call (847) 392-0888. We will confirm before you book. Most questions take one short call, and you will know the answer before you pay.
Our Northwest Suburbs office handles service questions for every town on this page. If your street sits near a town boundary, the mailing address and the ZIP code can differ, so use the address where the cleaning will happen when you check.
Example: A homeowner near the edge of town enters her ZIP code, sees the service is available, and books the first visit for the next open weekday.
If you are not sure about your street, a short call settles it before you book. The team checks the address against our route map and tells you the earliest open date.
We also serve these nearby communities from the same office:
We also clean in Arlington Heights, Elk Grove Village, Des Plaines and Wheeling. Each town gets the same chemical-free method, the same solo technician and the same booking steps. If your town is not on this list, call (847) 392-0888 and ask. We will tell you whether we can reach your home and when we could start.
Each nearby town follows the same booking steps, the same entry options and the same cancellation policy. Use the links above to read the local service page for your town. These links make it easier to compare what is offered where you live, before you choose a date.
If you live near two towns, check both local pages, since the nearest office and the local team serve the same home. Ask us which team will visit your home before you choose a date.
Use our online quote form or call (847) 392-0888. Your price depends on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms in your home. Round your bathroom count up, because each bathroom adds time to the visit.
Online pricing assumes a home in average condition. If your home needs more work than average, we call you before we start. We explain any change in price first, and you choose whether to go ahead. You can also ask for a price by phone if you want to talk through the size of your home first.
A quote is the fastest way to see your price. Have your bedroom and bathroom count ready, and note any special condition, such as a pet, a remodel or a home that has not been cleaned in months. Those details help us set the right time for your visit.
Tip: Write down your must-have areas before you ask for a quote. A short list keeps the price focused on the work that matters most to you.
A price estimate takes only a few minutes, and the number you see is based on the size of your home. Ask us to explain any line item you do not understand before you pay.
Booking takes three steps:
You can add extras at checkout. Each booking page lists every add-on and its price before you confirm. After you book, you can log in to your account to see your visit, add notes for your technician or change the date. Booking online usually takes only a few minutes, and you will get a confirmation by email.
Most people finish booking in one sitting. Pick a date that is at least a few days out if you want a specific technician or time window, because open slots fill up. Add notes about pets, access, parking or the areas you care about most. Your technician reads these notes before the visit.
Example: A busy parent books a Thursday visit, adds a note that the back door code changed, and gets a reminder the day before.
If you change your mind, the booking can be edited in your account before the visit. Choose one time window you can keep, so your technician arrives when you expect.
Yes. Gift cards work well for weddings, birthdays, new parents and anyone who could use help at home. A gift card is a simple way to give someone a clean home without choosing the cleaning details yourself. The recipient enters the gift card code at checkout, and the price updates on its own.
You can buy a gift card on our gift card page or call (847) 392-0888 to order one by phone. Ask us to help you pick the right amount if you want a set number of cleanings.
A gift card is a good choice when you do not know the home well enough to pick a plan. The person who receives it chooses when to use it, and they can book the cleaning type that fits their home. Keep the gift card code safe, because the code is what the recipient needs at checkout.
A gift card can also help you show support for a family member who is busy or recovering from a move. Include a short note with the gift, so the recipient knows when and how to book.
Yes. Share your referral link from your account. Your friend gets a discount on their first booking. After your friend completes that booking, you earn free account credits for future cleanings.
Referrals are one of the simplest ways to save. Your friend must book through your link for you to earn credit. Your link stays in your account, so you can share it again whenever you talk with someone who needs help at home.
Your friend should book with your referral link and finish their first cleaning before you can earn credit. Tell your friend about any special needs, such as a condo building rule, so the first visit goes smoothly. You can check your referral status in your account at any time.
Share your link with a short personal message. Friends are more likely to book when they know you had a good visit and why it worked for you.
Our records show that our hiring, training and management system works. We have an “A” rating from the Better Business Bureau. We also hold “Best Pick” in home cleaning services in Chicagoland for six years in a row, and the Angi Super Service Award for eight years.
We also hold the Seal of Excellence from the Association of Residential Cleaning Services International. Our chemical-free method earned an inductee spot in the Environmental Hall of Fame in Chicago. Every technician passes a background check before entering a home, and you can ask us about our screening at any time.
Trust also comes from how we work. We tell you what to expect from the first cleaning. We do not focus on sales. We focus on doing the work well, and on telling you the truth when a home needs more time than we planned.
Ask any cleaning company how it screens its staff. A good answer names specific checks, such as a background check, a drug test and training records. You can ask us the same questions. We are glad to explain how we screen, train and manage each technician before they clean a home.
Trust grows over time, so we keep the same standards on every visit. You can ask us about the steps we take at any point during your service.
We hire carefully and train for weeks. We hire about 1% of applicants. Each technician must be honest and trustworthy, able to learn, and ready to serve.
Training covers four areas: client service, chemical-free methods, cleaning science such as chemistry and breakage prevention, and problem solving. Training continues after the first weeks on the job, because good cleaning is a skill that grows with practice. The word “technician” reflects that the work takes skill, not only effort.
The name matters less than the training behind it. A technician learns cleaning science, safe methods and how to protect finishes. They also learn how to work well in other people’s homes. That combination takes time, and it is the reason we train before we send anyone to a client.
Good cleaning takes judgment as well as effort. A technician notices what needs attention, asks before making a change and protects the surfaces in your home.
Our technicians are trained cleaning professionals. Each one passes a personality assessment, a criminal background check and a drug test before entering any home. These steps come before any training starts.
On arrival, technicians put on protective gear and clean their indoor shoes before they enter your home. They follow our written method on every visit, so your results stay consistent from one visit to the next. You can read more about how we work on our how we work together page.
When you let someone into your home, you deserve to know who they are. Each technician is screened before the first visit. They work on our payroll, follow our written method and answer to our office. If you have questions about a technician, call (847) 392-0888 and we will explain our process.
Each technician works the same way on every visit. That consistency is part of why clients feel comfortable with the people who clean their homes.
One technician cleans your home. We started with team cleaning. We changed to solo cleaning because it serves clients better.
A solo visit also means one person enters your home. That is easier for many families and older adults to trust. Need more hands for a large house? Ask for a larger team in your online account or by phone, and we will plan the visit around your home.
A single person can focus on one home at a time. That focus helps the technician notice problems, such as a loose cabinet hinge or a damp spot, and report them to you. Teams can work fast, but a crew of several people changes the feel of a visit.
Example: A couple with a two-story home keeps the same technician for a year. She learns which cabinets stick and which rooms take the most time.
Solo visits also make it easier to coordinate with you. You have one clear point of contact for questions, and one person learns your routines.
You can ask, but we cannot promise it. Sick days, vacations and turnover happen. Recurring clients are more likely to keep the same technician, because the technician learns the home over several visits.
Contact us to share your preference. If your requested technician is not available, we send an alternate. We tell you who is coming before the visit, so you are never surprised at the door. A steady technician is one of the best reasons to choose a recurring plan.
If you want the same person, tell us early and be specific in your notes. Ask how often you would like the same technician, such as every visit or every other visit. Then accept that some visits will have a substitute. We will always tell you who is coming before the visit.
Regular clients often find that a steady technician makes each visit go faster, because the work is already familiar. Share your preference early, and tell us if the arrangement changes.
Employees only and no independent contractors. Every technician is on our payroll. We withhold taxes and carry workers’ compensation for every person who enters your home.
The difference matters. A W-2 employee works under our training and method. A 1099 contractor runs their own business and has less control over how the work is done. If a contractor is hurt in your home, you may face injury and tax questions. We do not use contractors, so you do not face those questions. This is general information, not legal advice. The IRS explains the difference in Independent Contractor (Self-Employed) or Employee?
Ask any company whether its workers are employees or contractors. Employees follow the company’s training and method. Contractors run their own business. If you ask us this question, we will answer it plainly and show you the coverage that applies.
Employee status also means our team follows the same training and method on every job. That is the main reason we do not use contractors.
A regular cleaning covers the main areas of your home. Technicians hand-wipe horizontal surfaces and dust vertical surfaces. Dirty spots get hand-wiped. Surfaces must be reachable with a two-step ladder.
We work from top to bottom. Floors are done last on each level, so dust and debris from higher surfaces do not land on clean floors. Hard-to-clean spots get a soak first, so the soil loosens without heavy scrubbing. This keeps the work gentle on finishes and avoids chemical residue on your surfaces.
A regular cleaning keeps your home fresh between deeper visits. Floors, kitchens and bathrooms get the most attention, because they see the most daily use. Ask us to adjust the plan if your home has a special need, such as a dog bed or a room used as an office.
Example: A two-bedroom condo with one bathroom receives the regular plan every two weeks, with a note to focus on the kitchen counters and the bathroom floor.
A regular visit keeps small problems from building up. Your technician notices and reports anything unusual, such as a loose handle or a stain that needs a separate plan.
A deep cleaning adds hand-wiping of vertical surfaces, baseboards and cabinet exteriors. A regular cleaning dusts vertical surfaces. A deep cleaning hand-wipes them, which removes the film that dust and kitchen grease leave behind over time.
Consider a deep cleaning:
Deep cleaning also suits a home where a recurring plan has slipped. Book it first, then move to a regular schedule so the home stays in good shape. See our deep cleaning service for the full list of tasks.
A deep cleaning is slower and more thorough than a regular cleaning. It reaches baseboards, cabinet exteriors and vertical surfaces that dust builds on over time. Many clients book a deep cleaning once, then move to a regular plan. Ask us which option fits your home before you book.
A deep clean is a good reset before a regular plan begins. Once the home is in good shape, the regular visits take less time and cost less over the year.
Move-in and move-out cleanings are our most detailed service. They include hand-wiping all horizontal and vertical surfaces, cleaning inside the fridge, cleaning inside and outside of cabinets and drawers, and cleaning inside closets if they are empty.
The package also includes baseboards, interior window glass, blinds and disinfecting. Move-in cleaning is an extra-priced service because it takes more time. Move-out cleaning is charged by the hour because the scope is hard to predict until we see the home. See move-out cleaning and move-in cleaning.
Move cleanings take the most time because the home is empty and every surface is open to cleaning. That makes them the best choice when a home changes hands. Read the list before you book, and tell us about any area that needs extra attention, such as a stain or a sticky cabinet.
Move cleanings are most useful when the home is empty and ready. Remove personal items and boxes from the rooms before the visit, so the technician can reach every surface.
Yes. Moves in Hoffman Estates happen all year. They follow home sales, closings, downsizing, new leases and moves to nearby suburbs. Family households make up 77.2% of the village, so many moves include children and their belongings (CMAP, 2026).
Plan your cleaning around these dates:
A move is often the most stressful part of a home change. Tell us your key dates when you book, and we will plan around them. The key question is simple. How much time do you have to clean the empty home before the rest of the move begins?
Plan your move cleaning around the key dates on your home sale or lease. Book early if your closing or lease end is firm. If the date changes, tell us as soon as you know. We can often move the visit, but the schedule depends on open slots.
Moves often change quickly, so keep your contact details current in your account. If the move date shifts, we can help you rebook the visit on a day that works for your timeline.
No company can promise that. Your landlord makes the final decision. A thorough move-out cleaning does help you meet lease cleaning terms, because the cleaning covers the areas landlords check most often.
Share your lease checklist in your booking notes. We can then focus on the items your landlord checks, such as the oven, the fridge, the bathrooms and the floors. If a part of the checklist is outside our scope, such as exterior windows or mold, we will tell you before the visit so you can plan for it.
Start your move-out cleaning early enough to fix anything you find. A landlord’s checklist often includes the oven, the fridge, the bathrooms, the baseboards and the floors. Walk through the home with the checklist in hand before your technician arrives, so you know what is still undone.
Ask your landlord which items matter most on the checklist, and share those items with us in your notes. This focuses the visit on the areas that count most for the deposit.
You can add these at checkout:
Each add-on adds time. The booking page shows the full list before you pay. Choose only the add-ons that matter to you, and add notes for anything that is not on the list. We will tell you whether a request fits within the visit.
Add-ons are a way to customize your visit. Choose the ones that match your home and your priorities, and skip the rest. If you are unsure, ask us which add-on gives you the most value for your home type.
A few well-chosen add-ons often give more value than many small extras. Think about what you would miss most if it were not cleaned.
For our technicians’ safety, we cannot do these tasks:
If you are not sure whether a task is in scope, ask before you book. We would rather tell you no at the start than leave a job half done. Some of these tasks, such as mold removal, need a licensed professional. We can clean the space after the problem is fixed.
Knowing the limits helps you plan. For tasks outside our scope, call a professional who handles that work. A licensed contractor, a pest control company or a window cleaner can do what we cannot, and we can clean the space once that work is complete.
Clear limits protect both you and the technician. When a task is out of scope, we tell you before the visit so you can plan the right service.
Yes. Single-family homes are the most common home type in Hoffman Estates. About 60.1% of homes are detached single-family houses, and 14.7% are attached homes such as townhomes (CMAP, 2026). Many have two floors, a staircase, and closets and cabinets in every room.
Ask us to focus on these areas: kitchen cabinet exteriors and drawer fronts, appliance exteriors, baseboards and trim, staircases and railings, empty closets, and entry doors and mudrooms. Add a note in your booking if one area matters most. We plan the visit around your notes, so the time goes where you need it most.
Single-family homes often have more rooms, more floors and more surfaces than condos or apartments. Plan for extra time on stairs, closets and kitchens with many cabinets. Tell us which floors are finished, carpeted or tiled, so we can plan the right approach.
Single-family homes reward a clear plan. Tell us which floor gets the most traffic, and we can focus the visit where it helps most.
Yes. We clean houses, townhomes, condos and apartments. About 14.7% of Hoffman Estates homes are attached, such as townhomes (CMAP, 2026). Multi-family buildings make up the rest of the non-single-family housing, so we plan for shared entries, elevators and parking in many buildings.
Condos and townhomes often have shared rules for parking, entry and elevators. Tell us about these rules in your booking notes, including where the technician can park and how the building entry works. If your building needs insurance details or proof of coverage, call (847) 392-0888. See our apartment cleaning service.
Condo and townhome owners often have building rules to follow. Ask your association about approved contractor hours, elevator reservations and parking before you book. Share those details in your notes, and we will plan the visit around them.
Shared buildings often have their own cleaning and access rules. Keeping those rules in your notes helps the visit start on time and go smoothly.
Yes. We use gentle methods and no harsh chemicals. The median Hoffman Estates home was built in 1976. About 49.5% of homes were built from 1970 to 1989, and 29.8% from 1940 to 1969 (CMAP, 2026).
Many of these homes have original wood floors, painted trim, older tile and cabinets. We do not soak or strip finishes. Our water-based method leaves no film, so new dust does not stick to the surface. That keeps older finishes looking their best between visits.
Tell us about delicate or sealed surfaces when you book. We assume marble, granite and other stone surfaces are sealed and ready to clean. We are not responsible for damage from improperly sealed surfaces, so a sealing check before your first visit is a good idea.
Older finishes need patient, gentle care. Test a small hidden spot first if you are unsure about a surface. Tell us about any finish that is original, painted, varnished or sealed. Your notes help us avoid mistakes before they happen.
Gentle care protects the look of older homes over many years. When a finish is worn, we work around it carefully and tell you what we see.
Yes. Check for water before you book a cleaning in these spaces. Basements, lower-level rooms, garages and mudrooms need a look first. Water damage can hide behind a floor or wall that looks normal, and a cleaning can make the problem harder to see.
Look for these signs: water stains on walls or floors, damp spots or a musty smell, and signs of past flooding in the space. Note what you see in your booking, so your technician knows what to check.
If you see an active leak, sewage or mold, call a licensed contractor first. We do not do mold removal. After the problem is fixed, we can clean the space. Basement cleaning is an add-on at checkout, so you only pay for it if you choose it.
Water problems often show up first as a small change. Look for a dark ring on the drywall, a crack in the floor, or a damp smell after rain. Note these signs in your booking so the technician can plan around them and report anything new to you.
A quick check before the visit helps you catch a problem early. If you find something you are not sure about, call a licensed professional before we clean the space.
We remove loose grit first, then wipe with water. Salt and slush can leave a white film on hard floors if they are wet-mopped first. Our order of work protects your floors and keeps the film from forming.
Winter brings salt, slush and mud into entryways, garage doors and mudrooms. A boot tray and a washable mat by your entry door help every visit go faster and keep the grit out of the rest of the home. If your winter entry gets wet every day, tell us in your booking notes so we plan extra time.
Winter soil is different from summer dust. It is wet, gritty and sticky. Our order of work removes the grit first, so the mop does not spread it across the floor. Keep the boot tray in place between visits, because it catches most of the mess before it reaches your floors.
Winter cleaning is most effective when the entry gets attention every day. Ask us to focus the first few minutes of the visit on the entry, if that area gets the most wear.
Yes. Post-construction cleaning is priced by the hour. Dust often settles again after the first pass, so we may need a repeat visit. The hourly rate keeps the price fair when the scope is hard to predict.
Before your visit, let the contractor finish the job and remove the heavy debris. Our technicians clean dust, residue and fine grit from surfaces. Tell us what the remodel covered, such as drywall, paint or new flooring, so we plan the right time for each room. See post-construction cleaning.
A remodel leaves dust in places you would not expect, such as vent covers and light fixtures. Tell us which rooms were worked on, and we can focus on the areas most affected. Keep the rooms closed during the visit if you can, so new dust does not drift in.
Keep a record of the remodel work, such as which rooms were finished and when. This helps us plan the right visit and set expectations for the first pass.
It is cleaning that does not depend on chemical reactions to loosen dirt. We use water and microfiber cloths. Water does the work, and nothing toxic is left behind.
On repeat services, we often reduce your exposure to cleaning chemicals by at least 95%. For a regular cleaning, chemical use falls by 95% to 100%. This is the core of our basic cleaning method, and it applies to every visit. The method keeps your home clean without adding products that leave residue behind.
Chemical-free cleaning uses water and microfiber to lift soil. It does not add a product that must be rinsed away. This gives you a clean home without the strong smells that many cleaning products leave behind.
Tip: After your first visit, notice how the air smells. A chemical-free clean usually leaves little or no scent.
This method suits households that want less exposure to cleaning products. Many clients notice the difference most in the air and on the surfaces they touch every day.
No. Green cleaning uses chemical products with friendlier ingredients. Chemical-free cleaning avoids chemical reactions altogether. The two are different, and the difference shows up in your home.
A green label does not remove the chemical reaction. Our method does not use chemical reactions, so it leaves less to build up over time.
Green cleaning and chemical-free cleaning sound alike, but the method is different. Green products still rely on chemicals to work. Chemical-free cleaning relies on water and technique, so there is less to rinse, less to inhale and less to leave on a surface.
When you read a product label, look for the ingredients and the method. Ask any company what it uses to lift soil, and compare the answers side by side.
It removes one source of indoor air pollution. The U.S. EPA says that many volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be up to ten times more concentrated indoors than outdoors. Many cleaning products release VOCs (EPA, Volatile Organic Compounds’ Impact on Indoor Air Quality).
We do not add those products to your home. Our top-to-bottom dusting also removes dust before it settles again. This is not medical treatment, and cleaning alone does not fix every air issue. If anyone in your home has asthma or allergies, talk with your doctor about the right steps for your household.
Indoor air is shaped by many sources, including cooking, heating, people and pets. Cleaning is one source you can control. Reducing product use and removing dust helps, but it is one step among several. Ventilation, filters and regular maintenance also matter.
Pair clean surfaces with good ventilation for the best results. Opening windows for a few minutes after cleaning can also help the air feel fresher.
Our technicians bring family- and pet-friendly supplies at no extra charge. We recommend using your vacuum to reduce cross-contamination. Tell us where your two-step ladder is if you want high spots cleaned.
If you want to provide your own special supplies, add a note to your account after you book. We will use them if they are compatible with our method. Ask us first if you are unsure, so we do not introduce a product that could leave residue on your surfaces.
Supplies matter most when they touch your home every visit. Our supplies are chosen for family and pet use and are part of our method. Your vacuum and your two-step ladder help the technician reach the areas you want cleaned.
Your technician brings the same supplies on every visit, which keeps results consistent. If you want to compare, ask us to explain each supply and how it is used.
Yes. We use family- and pet-friendly supplies. Without cleaning chemicals, there are no harsh fumes and no residue on floors where children play or pets walk.
Older adults and children often spend long hours at home, so fewer irritants in the air and on surfaces is a simple benefit. Pet owners: we clean around your pets, but we do not clean pet messes. Ask us about pet-safe cleaning in your booking notes, and tell us about any pet that needs a quiet room during the visit.
Families and older adults often want a home that feels safe to breathe in and walk through. Without harsh products, there are fewer things to worry about on floors, counters and toys. If someone in the home has a specific sensitivity, add it to your notes so we can plan the visit around it.
Households with children and older adults often ask the same question. Tell us about any sensitivity so we can plan around it during the visit.
Your price is based on bedrooms and bathrooms. Other factors can also change the price, so the number on the booking page is a starting point.
If your home needs more time than normal, we call you first. You can approve the extra time or book a return visit. You always see the change before we start, so you are never charged for work you did not approve.
Bedrooms and bathrooms set the base price. Condition, add-ons, cleaning type and frequency adjust it. When you compare prices, match the same home size, the same service and the same frequency, so the numbers mean the same thing.
Costs also depend on how often the home is cleaned, because regular visits keep the home easier to maintain. Ask us to show you how each option changes the price.
Very low prices often come with trade-offs. Some companies advertise low prices, then rush the work, use contractors or carry little insurance. When you compare, ask these questions.
A company that charges more often does not cut corners on hiring, training, safe methods or quality checks. Compare what each price includes, not only the number on the page. A fair comparison looks at the method, the people and the insurance together.
Prices vary because companies pay workers differently, carry different insurance and use different methods. A low price can hide missing steps. A higher price can cover steady training and quality checks. Compare the full scope of work, not only the total on the page.
A fair comparison includes the price, the method, the staff and the insurance. Ask the same questions of every company you consider, and compare the answers on the same page.
Yes. Recurring cleanings cost less than one-time cleanings. Weekly, bi-weekly and monthly plans have a discounted rate. One-time cleanings do not get the recurring discount.
The first cleaning costs the same as later recurring cleanings, even though the first visit takes longer. You can also earn account credits through the referral program. Ask us which plan fits your home and your budget before you book.
Recurring plans save money because the technician can plan a regular route and the home stays in better shape between visits. If your budget is tight, ask which plan saves the most for the number of cleanings you want.
Savings add up over several months. Ask us to show you the price of a recurring plan next to a one-time visit, so you can see the difference for your home.
You pay by credit card or debit card when you book, and we only charge after cleaning is complete. We accept:
If you book online with a card, your bank may show a hold the day before service. This is a pre-authorization, not a charge. The final charge happens after your cleaning is complete, and you get a receipt by email.
Your payment is handled through the booking page or your account. Keep your card on file for simpler future bookings, and check your receipt by email after each visit. If you have a billing question, call the office during business hours.
Keep your payment details current so each booking goes smoothly. If your bank asks about a pre-authorization, that is normal and is not a final charge.
Yes. Log in to your account to update your card on file or add a discount code. You can also enter a discount or gift card code on the booking form. Contact us if you need help.
Your price updates when you apply a valid code. If a code does not work, check the spelling and the expiration date first. Then contact us, and we will help you find the right code or a new one.
Coupons and gift cards apply at checkout. If you change your card, update it before your next visit. Save your account login in a secure place, because it lets you manage your bookings and credits.
Check your coupon’s terms before you book, so you know which services it covers. The booking page shows the new total before you confirm.
Yes. We carry Workers’ Compensation Insurance and General Business Liability Insurance. Both policies cover our technicians and our work in your home.
If a technician is hurt while working in your home, our workers’ compensation coverage responds. If something in your home is damaged, our liability coverage applies, as described in our damage policy. Ask us for proof of coverage if your building or association needs it.
Insurance protects you and our technicians. Ask us for proof of coverage if your building, association or landlord needs it. Keep that proof with your building paperwork so it is easy to find.
Insurance is one of the first things to check when you hire a cleaning company. Keep a copy of our coverage details with your home documents for quick access.
Employees only and no independent contractors. We only use our own employees, and they are covered by our Workers’ Compensation Insurance. You do not need to handle their payroll taxes or injury coverage.
Because every technician is on our payroll, you do not take on the risks that come with hiring a self-employed worker. This is general information, not legal advice. If you have a question about your own tax or insurance situation, ask a licensed professional.
Ask any company who pays payroll taxes and who covers injuries. A clear answer should be easy to find. Keep a copy of the company’s answer with your home records, in case a question comes up later.
Because our technicians are our employees, your household does not manage their payroll or injury coverage. This keeps your role simple.
Tips are welcome, but not required. Tips go to your technician. You can tip in cash, add a tip in your online account, or ask us to add it to your account.
Fewer than 10% of most clients tip regularly. In November and December, more than 80% of clients tip. Tips are 100% yours as a technician, so they add directly to the pay for the person who cleaned your home.
Tips are a personal choice. Many clients tip when a visit went well or when the technician handled a difficult job with care. You can tip any amount, or none, and your cleaning is not affected either way.
If you want to thank your technician, a note or a tip both work.
Our office is open 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Our technicians clean Monday through Friday, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. We do not clean on weekends or holidays.
To see the next open date, check the booking page. It shows live availability. For a same-day request, call (847) 392-0888 and ask about openings. Call during office hours to reach a person who can help with your booking.
Plan your bookings around our office hours and the cleaning schedule. Office staff can help with changes during business hours. The booking page shows open dates, which is the fastest way to see what is available.
The booking page shows which times are open for each date.
Every home is different, and cleaning time is hard to predict. Home size, condition, traffic and weather all change how long a visit takes. A two-hour window lets us plan for those changes without making you wait all day.
A solo technician with fewer stops each day also helps us arrive when we say we will. The window is a plan, not a promise to arrive at one exact minute. If your schedule is tight, tell us in your booking notes so we can plan around it.
A window gives your technician room to finish one home before moving to the next. It also gives you a clear expectation of when to watch for the arrival. If you have a tight schedule, plan your morning or afternoon around the window, not a single minute.
Use the window to plan your day, such as a call or an errand. Staying nearby during the window helps you answer any quick questions as they come up.
No. You can be home if you want. Some clients work from home, and you are welcome to stay. If you are not home, use one of these entry options.
Either option works well for busy households and remote workers. Change your code at any time in your account. Being home is not required, and many clients prefer to leave the house during the visit.
Many clients leave for work or errands during the visit. Others stay home to answer questions or point out areas of focus. Both choices are fine. Choose the option that gives you the most peace of mind.
Whichever option you choose, make sure your entry plan is clear before the visit. A few minutes of planning avoids most delays.
You pay a $39 deposit. We return it when you return the lockbox. Place a key in the lockbox so your technician can enter. You do not need to be home to hand over the key.
Return the lockbox when you end service, and we return your deposit. Keep your lockbox code private, and only share it with us. If you lose the key or the code, call (847) 392-0888 right away so we can secure your home.
Keep your lockbox key private and store the code somewhere safe. If you move, change the lockbox or the code. Tell the technician about any change in access before the next visit, so the entry plan stays clear.
Test your code or key location the day before the visit, if you are able. A quick check prevents last-minute problems.
You pay the full rate for the visit. We hold your appointment and turn other business away. Our technicians rely on scheduled cleanings for their income. Waiting time counts as cleaning time, because we must pay our technician for it.
That is why we recommend a door or garage code, or the free lockbox. If you know you will not be home, set up one of these options before your visit. A quick check of your code the night before can prevent a lockout.
A lockout delays the visit for everyone. It can also mean the technician loses income for the time they waited. Set a reminder for your cleaning day, and keep your entry option ready.
If you realize the problem early, call the office right away. Early notice gives the team more options.
Give us at least 48 hours’ notice.
The 48-hour rule protects the technician’s schedule. Our technicians plan their days around booked visits, so a late change leaves them with time they cannot fill. See our schedule change page for more details.
Changing a booking early helps the schedule for everyone. Use your account first, because it shows your options right away. If you cannot reach the account, call the office during business hours and we will help you find a new date.
Keep your confirmation email, so you have the booking details if you need to change the visit. Your account shows the current date and time.
We contact you to reschedule. We call or email you the day before each appointment as a reminder. If your cleaning falls on a holiday, we reach out first to find a new date.
We do not clean on weekends or holidays. A reminder before each visit gives you time to change the date if your plans shift around a holiday.
Plan ahead for holiday weeks. Check your cleaning date early, and tell us about any family plans that change your schedule. Reminders help you avoid surprises.
If a holiday changes your plans, check the new date in your account to confirm the time window. Reminders make it easy to catch changes.
You can choose weekly, bi-weekly or monthly service. Recurring visits are scheduled on the same day and time. You get a reminder by email and text, and you can change your schedule in your account.
For a one-time cleaning, book any time. Discounts apply only to recurring service. Choose the frequency that fits your home, your budget and how much cleaning you want to handle yourself. See recurring cleaning and one-time cleaning.
Pick a frequency that fits your life, not only your budget. A home with pets, children or a lot of guests may need more frequent visits. A quieter home may do well with a monthly plan. Ask us which schedule suits your home.
Ask yourself how much of the cleaning you want to do yourself. The answer often points to the right frequency for your household.
We tell you right away. If damage or breakage happens while we clean, we notify you immediately. We will make every effort to repair or replace the item.
If you find damage that we did not report, contact us within 24 hours at (847) 392-0888. This helps us fix the problem quickly, and it gives us the facts we need to review what happened.
Report any damage as soon as you see it. Take a photo of the item and the spot, and send it to our office with a short note about what happened. Clear records help us make the right repair or replacement decision.
A clear report helps everyone move faster. Include the date, the room and a photo if you can.
Tell us. Our goal is 100% happiness. Contact us through our contact page or call (847) 392-0888. We address issues quickly.
Tell us as soon as you notice a missed spot. We can often fix it on a return visit. Your feedback also helps your technician improve on the next cleaning, so be specific about the room and the task.
Be as specific as you can. Tell us the room, the task and what you expected. Specific feedback helps us correct the problem on the next visit and helps your technician learn your preferences.
A return visit can fix most issues quickly. Be specific about the room and the task, so the next visit focuses on the right area.
Please tell us about items that matter to you.
Put valuables in a safe place before the visit. Mention any antique or sealed item in your booking notes so your technician can plan around it.
Valuables deserve a plan before the visit. Move small items to a safe place, cover delicate pieces or store them in a closed cabinet. Your technician can work around anything you have set aside, but a plan you make in advance is the best protection.
Valuables are easier to protect when they are in one place. Gather small items into a labeled box before the visit.
Call (847) 392-0888 or contact us. We will look into it for you.
Because of the two-hour arrival window, a short delay is normal. If the delay runs past the window, we tell you what happened and when to expect your technician. Calling early helps us keep your day on track.
Running late can happen with traffic, weather or a longer job earlier in the day. A quick call helps you plan. If the delay will be long, we can help you decide whether to wait or to move the visit to another day.
A short update from the office helps you decide whether to wait or move the visit. Keep your phone nearby on the day of your appointment.

Pay rates can change, so check the job page for the current figures. Your level and your performance both affect your pay over time. Ask our recruiting team for a full breakdown during your interview.
Pay depends on your level, your performance and the work you complete. Tips add to your total, and quarterly bonuses reward strong performance. Ask our recruiting team to walk you through a sample week during your interview, so the numbers make sense for your life.

You need the following:
You do not need cleaning experience. We train you from day one, and you work as an employee. Each requirement helps us keep schedules on time and keep clients safe. Check the list before you apply, so you know what the job needs.
These requirements help the schedule run well for technicians and clients. A reliable car, on-time arrivals and strong English all matter on a daily route. Read each requirement before you apply, so you know whether the job fits your life today.
If you are unsure whether you meet a requirement, ask before you apply. The team can explain what the job involves.
Our jobs are daytime and local. About 67.7% of Hoffman Estates workers drive alone to work, and the mean commute is 28.5 minutes (CMAP, 2026). Our technicians work between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., with no nights, no weekends and no holidays.
Many Hoffman Estates workers already spend a lot of time in the car. Ask about open routes when you apply, and tell us which towns you can reach.
A long commute can make a job harder to keep. Think about your drive time, your route and your daily schedule before you apply. Ask which towns are closest to your home, so you can judge the commute before you accept an offer.
If the commute is the main concern, ask about the towns you would serve most often. This helps you judge the drive before you accept an offer.
Our benefits include:
Benefits help technicians plan a steady career, not only a job. A gas subsidy can ease the cost of driving between homes. Ask our recruiting team for the full benefits summary during your interview, including what applies to your location.
Benefits add value beyond the hourly pay. Health insurance, retirement savings and paid time off help you plan for the future. Ask about eligibility and start dates during your interview, because benefits can depend on your role and hours.
Ask how benefits start for your role and hours. The start date and eligibility rules are the details that matter most.
Daytime only. You work between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., with no nights, no weekends and no holidays.
Daytime hours suit parents, students and anyone who wants evenings and weekends free. We plan routes so your day stays within those hours. A steady schedule makes it easier to plan childcare, classes or other commitments.
Daytime hours fit many schedules, but check them against your own needs. If you need a specific start time for school drop-off or childcare, ask about it during the interview, so you know how the day is structured.
If your schedule is fixed, check whether the start and end times fit your life. Ask about any flexibility during your interview.
