A plain, bright room in a well-kept older house: cream painted walls, white wood trim and pale oak boards, with a sheer-curtained double-hung window flooding the room with daylight and a white cast iron radiator beneath it. A cream slipcovered armchair and a small light wood side table holding a shallow dish stand just right of the window on a large textured jute rug, and a white panelled door stands open on the left onto another pale room.

House cleaning in Detroit

Detroit is not one housing market, so it is not one clean. The gap between a 1917 Tudor and a 2022 townhouse is the whole job.

The houses in Detroit

Rosedale Park and East English Village are 1920s Tudors and four-squares with leaded glass, deep sills and original woodwork. The bungalow belt around Bagley runs 1,000 to 1,500 square feet of brick with a finished attic on top. Corktown and Midtown add new-build townhouses, and downtown adds lofts with concrete floors and exposed duct.

After cleaning: the same kitchen from the same doorway in the same overcast morning light. The sink is empty and the stainless polished dry, the counter is clear and wiped with the coffee rings gone, the gas hob and grates are degreased, the fridge door is streak-free, the floor is swept and mopped, the towel is hung on the oven handle and the bin has a fresh liner. The cabinets keep their chipped paint and the counter its worn edge. — Kitchen

What that changes

The booking form prices on square footage and bedrooms. Put the neighborhood in the notes anyway — it tells us what we are walking into.

01
Radiators collect dust in a way baseboard heat never does, and the gap behind one is a real part of the job in an older house.
02
Original woodwork and leaded glass get a dry or barely damp cloth. Ammonia and hundred-year-old glazing compound do not belong in the same room.
03
A loft is mostly floor and glass with no doors. Fewer rooms, far more open surface, and every mark on the window is visible from the sofa.

What it costs in Detroit

The same as everywhere else we go. Price comes from the size of the house and the number of bedrooms, not from the ZIP code — a Basic Clean starts at $133 a visit on a weekly schedule, and the booking form shows your number before you commit to anything.

Deep Cleans and Move In / Move Out cleans are priced on the same form. There is no separate quote call and no visit-first survey.
