Most Austin homes stay cleanest on a weekly or every two week schedule, which also comes with a 15 to 20 percent discount versus a one time visit. Monthly works well for smaller households or homes that see less daily use.

Standard Cleaning FAQ

How long does a standard cleaning take?
Most homes take 2 to 3 hours, depending on size and how much detail work is needed.

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
No. Many Maid2Us customers give their cleaner a door code or a lockbox and are not home at all.

What should I do before the cleaner arrives?
Pick up clothes, dishes, and clutter from surfaces and floors so the cleaner can spend their time actually cleaning instead of organizing.
