Recurring cleaning
“I've used Brio for bi-weekly cleanings and the occasional deep clean since January and I've never been happier with a cleaning service. They're prompt, consistent, and easy to work with the couple of times I've had to reschedule around travel.”

FAQ

Standard House Cleaning: common questions

How often should I book a standard clean?

Most homes do well on a bi-weekly schedule. Busy households, homes with kids or pets, and anyone who wants the place consistently guest-ready tend to prefer weekly. Smaller households often choose monthly.

Do I need to be home?

No. Many clients give us an entry method (a code, a lockbox, or an unlocked door) and come home to a finished clean. Just share the details when you book.

Do you bring your own supplies?

Yes. We bring all equipment and supplies, including commercial-grade vacuums for hardwood, tile, and carpet.

Can I get the same team every visit?

We send the same team to recurring clients whenever possible. If a team change is needed for illness or vacation, we let you know in advance.

How is the price set?

Pricing is flat-rate, based on the size and condition of your home. You get a firm quote before you book, with no surprise charges.
