Deep Cleaning in Delaware

Q: My cleaner uses strong chemicals that trigger my asthma. What can I ask for?

Request 'green' or fragrance-free cleaning products — reputable cleaning services will accommodate this at no extra charge. Ask specifically for fragrance-free, ammonia-free, and bleach-free options (or let them know which trigger reactions). You can also request that they bring specific products you provide, or ask for a ventilation approach (windows open during and after cleaning).

Q: My regular cleaner keeps rushing and missing the same spots every visit. How do I handle this?

Create a specific written checklist of priority areas and review it with the cleaner before they start. Follow up the first post-checklist visit with a walkthrough. If the same spots are consistently missed, raise it with the cleaning company's manager — good companies want to know and will address it. If issues persist, the cleaner assignment should change.

Q: I found things moved or missing after a house cleaning. What should I do?

Document what's missing with photos where possible and report immediately to the company — the longer you wait, the harder it is to trace. Reputable cleaning services carry bonding (theft insurance) in addition to liability insurance. File a police report if items of significant value are missing — the bonding insurer requires this. Avoid leaving cash, jewelry, or valuables accessible during cleaning visits.

Q: Deep cleaning vs. regular maintenance cleaning — what's actually included in each?

Regular maintenance cleaning: surfaces, floors, bathrooms, kitchen wipe-down — assumes the space is reasonably maintained. Deep cleaning: inside appliances, inside cabinets, baseboards, light fixtures, window sills, grout, behind furniture, detailed bathroom tile scrubbing. Deep cleanings are 2–3x longer and cost more. Most services recommend a deep clean as the first visit, then maintenance cleanings ongoing.

Q: Should I tip house cleaners?

Tipping is not required but appreciated for good work — 10–20% of the cleaning cost per visit, or a larger tip for especially good work. For regular cleaners, a larger tip at holidays is common. If the cleaner is an employee of a company (rather than independent), check the company's tipping policy — some don't allow it, others encourage it.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions in DE

A house cleaner broke my grandmother's antique vase and offered only $50. What are my options?

Professional cleaning companies should carry liability insurance covering breakage. Ask for their certificate of liability insurance and file a claim through their insurer for replacement value. If they're an individual cleaner without insurance, small claims court can address the difference between what they offer and the actual value (documented with appraisals or purchase records for antiques).
