For people who notice.
You know the feeling. The cleaners leave, the house smells nice, and then you look closer. The shower pan still has a ring. There's dust along the wall where the vacuum never reached. Crumbs are still under the dining table, because nobody moved a chair.
That isn't a clean. It's a clean-looking house.
We work to a written standard, not a feeling. Every visit covers our full standard checklist, plus anything you add, item by item. Nothing gets skipped because it's hidden, awkward, or slow.
What "actually cleaned" means to us
- We move things. The chairs come out and we clean under the dining table. As needed, a crevice tool goes along the walls, around the furniture, and down the sides of the washer and dryer, where dust really collects.
- We scrub what usually gets skipped. In the bathroom: the shower pan, the glass, the walls up to six feet, the tub and its tile, the shower head and fixtures, the toilet inside and out, and the baseboards.
- We finish the kitchen. Countertops, sink and tap, the microwave inside and out, the outside of the fridge, oven and dishwasher, cabinet fronts spot-cleaned, and the floor.
- We cover the whole house. Hard floors vacuumed and mopped, carpets vacuumed, window sills dusted, mirrors cleaned, small trash cans emptied and relined, and the mess around pet bowls cleaned up.
Thorough takes time, and you only pay for the minutes worked.
If you've ever re-cleaned after the cleaners left, we built Lickety Split for you.
The same Pro, who knows your home.
A great clean gets better when the person doing it knows your home: where the dust settles, which shower needs extra attention, how you like things put back. That's why we keep you with the same Cleaning Pro whenever we can, visit after visit.
It's also why we pay our Pros well. Competitive hourly pay plus tips, and paid time off on every hour they work, which is rare for house cleaners. Pros who are treated well stay, so you aren't training a new stranger every few months.
Simple, Honest Billing
You pay for the time we clean — down to the minute.
No flat-fee guesswork, no padded hours. Your Cleaning Pro clocks in when they arrive at the job, cleans the items you chose efficiently and thoroughly, never rushed, and clocks out once the job is complete. You're billed for the exact minutes worked, at our low hourly rate.
1. We clock in on arrival
The clock starts when your Pro arrives at the job.
2. We clean what you chose
Your Pro works through exactly the items you selected — efficient, thorough, and never rushed.
3. We clock out
The clock stops once the job is complete. You're charged only for the time in between.
A Real Example
- Clocked in
- 9:00 AM
- Clocked out
- 11:23 AM
- Time on the clock
- 2 hrs 23 min
- Rate
- $57/hr
- Your total
- $135.85
You'll see the exact clock-in and clock-out times on your receipt, so you can review every cleaning. No rounding up to the next hour, no hidden fees.
Flat rate vs. billed by the minute
Flat-rate pricing
- One price, however long the clean takes. Every minute saved is profit, so the pressure is always to finish faster.
- The price covers the average home. Lighter cleans subsidize heavier ones.
- What gets done can be vague. "Standard clean" means different things to different services.
- Extras often trigger add-on fees or a quoted upgrade.
- Price known up front. This is the real advantage of flat rates.
Lickety Split
- You pay for the minutes worked. No reward for rushing, and no charge for time no one was working.
- The price matches your home. A tidy visit costs less; a heavier one is billed for the actual work.
- A written checklist. Our full standard every visit, published for anyone to read.
- Extras just take minutes. Add items, and they're billed at the same rate.
- Estimate up front, exact minutes on your receipt. You get an expected range before we start, and pay for the minutes on the clock (2-hour minimum).
What rushing looks like
When the price is the same no matter how long it takes, the fastest clean wins. It usually looks fine from the doorway. Look closer and you'll see the shortcuts.

✓ Vacuums wall to wall, with a crevice tool along edges and around furniture as needed.

✕ Wipes the outside of the microwave.
