Overview
House cleaning for the country's largest Victorian rowhouse district
A South End house is usually a brick bowfront on Union Park, Rutland Square, Worcester Square, or one of the tree-lined streets between Columbus and Harrison. Whether it is a single-family home restored to its original layout or a duplex spanning the upper floors, it has marble mantels, plaster medallions, pocket doors, tall windows, and hardwood refinished many times over. Our house cleaning teams treat those surfaces as the point of the job, not an obstacle.
Multi-level rowhouses are cleaned in sequence: top floor to garden level, wet rooms last, so stairs and floors stay clean as the team works down and the entry hall is the last room finished. Marble and stone get pH-neutral cleaners. Hardwood is dry-mopped before a barely damp pass. Plaster is dusted with soft brushes. Pocket doors and their tracks are cleaned rather than skipped. Tall windows are wiped on the inside as part of every deep clean.
South End homeowners include long-time residents, professionals within walking distance of Back Bay and the hospitals, and a large community with restaurant and creative-industry hours. That is why we schedule seven days a week and why Sunday afternoon is a common standing slot here. Plant-based, fragrance-free products are available at no extra cost. Every visit comes with an upfront price, a consistent lead cleaner, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

When to book
How often South End homes get cleaned
Weekly
Households with kids, pets, or a kitchen in constant use. Floors and bathrooms never reach the point where cleaning feels like a project.
Biweekly
The default for most homes. Two visits a month keeps dust, soap scum, and grease from building up at a lower total cost than weekly.
Monthly
Smaller or tidier households that keep up between visits but want bathrooms, floors, and the kitchen done properly on a schedule.
One-time
Before hosting, after a busy stretch, or as a trial before committing to a plan. Upgrade to a deep clean if it has been a while.

Reviews
What neighbors say after the first visit
“Our brownstone has original wood floors and a lot of trim. They used the right products and got into every groove of the wainscoting. I have already booked them monthly.”
“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.”
