Overview
The detail work Back Bay homes are built from
A Back Bay deep clean is a study in ornament. Plaster crown mouldings and ceiling medallions hold dust in every ridge. Tall windows facing the Commonwealth Avenue Mall carry a film of city particulate on the inside. Marble fireplace surrounds have not been touched since the previous tenant. Parquet floors have grime along the baseboards where a routine mop never reaches. Our teams work each of these by hand with the right products and enough time to do it properly.
Bathrooms in these buildings are often original: hex-tile floors, subway tile walls, cast-iron tubs, and pedestal sinks. Grout is scrubbed with brushes, not sprayed. Tub enamel gets a non-abrasive cleaner. Chrome and nickel fixtures are polished. Kitchens, usually retrofitted into former bedrooms, get the range hood degreased, cabinet fronts washed, and the stove pulled forward so the floor and wall behind it are actually cleaned.
Back Bay residents book deep cleans before starting a recurring plan, ahead of holiday hosting, after returning from a season away, or when a unit is being prepared for sale. A two-bedroom brownstone unit takes our team about four hours; multi-level homes take longer. Pricing is based on size and condition and confirmed before booking, and building requirements such as insurance certificates and elevator bookings are handled by our coordinators.

When to book
When Back Bay homes book a deep clean
Before starting a recurring plan
Brings the home to the baseline a routine visit is designed to maintain, so the plan holds the standard rather than catching up.
Seasonal reset
Spring to clear the salt and sand, fall before the windows close and hosting season begins.
Before hosting or a sale
Family arriving, a party, or listing photographs. The rooms guests and buyers notice are the ones a deep clean fixes.
After a long gap or renovation
When cleaning has fallen behind, one deep clean is faster and cheaper than catching up over several routine visits.
Why us
Why Back Bay residents trust us with the deep clean
- 01
We move things
Couches, beds, and the stove come away from the wall so the surfaces behind them are actually cleaned, then go back exactly where they were.
- 02
Grout and fixtures by hand
Tile lines, shower tracks, and faucet bases are scrubbed with brushes and the right product, not sprayed and wiped.
- 03
Kitchen degreasing that lasts
Range hood, backsplash, and cabinet fronts near the stove are degreased, which routine cleaning skips.
- 04
Generous time, fixed price
Deep cleans are scheduled with room to breathe, and any condition-based fee is agreed before the team starts.

Reviews
What neighbors say after the first visit
“Fourth-floor walk-up on Marlborough Street. They brought everything up themselves, cleaned the whole unit in ninety minutes, and left the hardwood streak-free.”
“Two people arrive every other Thursday, work through the whole house in about two hours, and the kitchen looks the way it did the day we moved in. I have stopped thinking about cleaning entirely.”
“My building has strict elevator rules and they handled the check-in with the concierge without me being there. Floor-to-ceiling windows spotless, no streaks. That alone was worth it.”
