What’s included in a deep cleaning?

Our Top-to-Bottom Deep Cleaning is a detailed and thorough service designed to give your home a fresh start—perfect for first-time visits, seasonal resets, or homes needing extra attention.

Here’s what sets it apart from regular maintenance cleaning:

We use a 3-step stool to reach and hand-wipe all reachable cabinets, ceiling fans, and light fixtures.

All trim—baseboards, window sills, doors, and door frames—is hand-wiped, not just dusted.

We hand-clean all furniture surfaces, including tops and sides.

Kitchens and bathrooms are scrubbed, and if your bathrooms need extra attention, we set aside the time to do it right.

As always, all floors are vacuumed and mopped

This level of care goes far beyond standard upkeep and leaves your home truly refreshed, sanitized, and guest-ready.

Can I request custom services that aren’t part of your standard cleaning packages?

Yes, definitely! If there’s something specific you need, let us know—we’re happy to customize the service if it’s within our ability. Just reach out, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.

Do you offer same-day or emergency cleaning services?

Yes—when our schedule allows, we’re happy to accommodate same-day or last-minute cleaning requests.

If you need urgent service, please don’t use our online booking tool. Instead, call or text us directly at (719) 510-0323 so we can check availability and discuss how we can help.

Same-day or emergency cleanings may include an additional fee, depending on timing and staff availability.

Do I have to have the whole house cleaned every time?

Not at all! Many of our clients choose to skip certain areas—like guest rooms, basements, or rarely used bathrooms—on a regular basis and only have them cleaned as needed.

We’re happy to customize your service to include just the areas you want cleaned. Whether you’d like to focus on specific floors, exclude unused rooms, or adjust as your needs change, just let us know.

Customizing your service helps us optimize your visit and reduce your cost—while still keeping your most-used spaces fresh and clean.

Are there any tasks you don’t do?

Yes—while we’re happy to handle most household cleaning needs, there are some tasks we do not offer due to safety, health, or scope limitations:

We do not clean extremely dirty or hoarder-type homes

We do not handle bodily fluids, hazardous waste, or mold removal
(Note: We can scrub moldy corners in showers, but we don’t clean mold-damaged items or perform mold remediation)

We do not provide organizing services
(However, we can help pick up light clutter from floors or surfaces to prepare for cleaning)

We do not wash dishes or do laundry

We do not clean exterior windows

We do not use ladders or work beyond a 3-step step stool
(For higher areas, we’ll use extended dusters to reach safely)

If you’re unsure about a specific task, just ask—we’re happy to clarify!

Do you move furniture or large items during cleaning?

We do not move large furniture or appliances for safety and liability reasons. However, if you move them ahead of time, we’re happy to clean behind and underneath those areas.

We’re always glad to move light items under 20 lbs, such as chairs, small rugs, and lightweight decor, as part of your regular cleaning.

What should I do if I have special cleaning requests or priorities?

We’re happy to focus on what matters most to you! Just let us know your requests or priorities ahead of your scheduled visit, and we’ll do our best to tailor the cleaning to your needs.

How can I get a quote?

Getting a quote is quick and easy! You can call or text us at (719) 510-0323, fill out our contact form, and we’ll follow up with you directly—or use our online booking tool to view pricing and real-time availability instantly.

Do you charge a flat rate or an hourly rate?

At Erika’s House Cleaning LLC, we believe in clear, transparent pricing. Most of our cleaning services are offered at a flat rate, so you know the total cost upfront—no surprises. This works best for standard and recurring cleaning where the scope is clearly defined.

In some cases—like specialized or variable-scope cleanings—we may charge an hourly rate, allowing for flexibility based on your unique needs.

Before any service begins, we’ll always let you know which pricing structure applies, so you feel confident and informed from the start.

How much are the average charges?

At Erika’s House Cleaning LLC, we tailor every service to your home’s unique needs. While pricing can vary based on size, layout, and condition, here’s a general overview of what most of our clients can expect:

  • Maintenance Cleaning – Perfect for ongoing upkeep and a consistently clean home.
    Our Clients typically invest between: $200–$280 per visit.

  • Top-to-Bottom Deep Cleaning – A deep cleaning for homes needing extra attention or a fresh reset.
    Typical range: $500–$800.
    Smaller, well-maintained homes may fall below this range, while larger or heavily used homes may be higher.

  • Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning – Ideal for preparing a home before or after a move.
    Typical range: $900–$1,200, depending on square footage and overall condition.

  • Minimum Charge – Our minimum service charge is $99 per visit. 

Please note: For the most accurate quote, we recommend reaching out or using our online booking tool to get a personalized estimate based on your specific needs.

How do you handle rate increases?

We do our best to keep pricing fair and consistent. If a rate change is ever needed, we’ll always communicate it in advance of your upcoming visit—especially for clients on a recurring schedule—so there are no surprises.

The only exception is if the actual condition of the home is very different from what was described during the quoting process. For example, if we were told the home was in average condition and it’s significantly messier, or if we were told it would be ready and it’s not, we may need to adjust the price during the visit to reflect the extra time and effort required. In those rare cases, we’ll always let you know and get your approval before proceeding.

Our goal is to be transparent, respectful, and fair while making sure your home gets the level of care it truly needs.

What is your policy on tipping?

Tipping is never expected, but always appreciated! If you’d like to leave a tip for your cleaning technician, you can do so through our customer portal or by contacting our office—we’ll make sure it gets to the right person.

What does your BBB A+ Accreditation mean for me as a customer?

Our A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) is a reflection of our commitment to doing things the right way—every time. It means we’ve been recognized for excellent customer service, honest and ethical business practices, and reliable performance.

For you, it’s added peace of mind. You can feel confident knowing you’re working with a trusted, reputable company that values transparency, integrity, and your satisfaction above all else.

Are you bonded and insured?

Yes, Erika’s House Cleaning LLC is fully bonded and insured to give you complete peace of mind.

Bonded: We carry a $50,000 bond, which protects you in the unlikely event of dishonest behavior, such as theft. It’s an extra layer of security that ensures you’re covered if something goes wrong.

Insured: We also carry liability insurance with up to $2,000,000 in annual coverage. This protects your property against accidental damage during any cleaning visit.

Being both bonded and insured reflects our commitment to professionalism, safety, and earning your trust—because you deserve to feel confident about who’s in your home.

Are your employees background checked?

Are your employees background checked?
Yes—your safety and peace of mind are extremely important to us. At Erika’s House Cleaning LLC, every team member goes through a thorough background check as part of our hiring process. We only bring on people we’d trust in our own homes.

This careful screening is one of the ways we maintain the high standards our clients expect—and why so many families in Colorado Springs feel confident choosing us.

What areas do you service?

At Erika’s House Cleaning LLC, we proudly serve Colorado Springs and selected neighborhoods in the surrounding areas, including: Monument, Black Forest, Manitou Springs, Peyton and Fountain,

If you’re in one of these areas and aren’t sure whether we service your neighborhood, just reach out—we’re happy to check and confirm for you.

Please note: We do not service military bases.

Do you offer a satisfaction guarantee?

Yes! At Erika’s House Cleaning LLC, your satisfaction means everything to us. If you’re not completely happy with the quality of your service, please contact us within 24 hours—we’ll gladly return to re-clean the areas of concern. Please note: We do not offer refunds, but we’re committed to making things right through a follow-up visit.

This approach helps us uphold the high standards we’re known for while ensuring you receive the clean, comfortable home you expect and deserve.

Do you bring cleaning supplies and equipment?

Yes! At Erika’s House Cleaning LLC, we bring all the necessary supplies and equipment—including vacuum cleaners—to ensure a thorough and efficient cleaning every time.

We do kindly ask that you provide: A toilet brush for each bathroom and sny specific trash can liners you’d like us to use

If you have allergies or prefer we use your own cleaning products or equipment, just let us know in writing at least 7 days before your scheduled service. You’re welcome to provide your preferred products, but please also include clear usage instructions and Safety Data Sheets (SDS). As an employer, we are legally required to ensure our team has access to SDS for any product they use. We also reserve the right to decline the use of certain products or equipment that may not meet our safety or performance standards.

What type of cleaning supplies do you use?

At Erika’s House Cleaning LLC, we use a carefully selected range of cleaning products that are both effective and safe for your home. Nearly all of our standard products are eco-friendly, non-toxic, and biodegradable, helping to protect your health and minimize environmental impact.

The only exception is Easy-Off oven cleaner, which we use selectively because it delivers the best results for tough oven jobs. All other products used in your kitchen, bathrooms, on furniture, and floors are green-certified and safe for children and pets.

Can I provide my own vacuum or mop?

Yes, we can use your vacuum or mop upon request. However, please let us know in writing at least seven days before your scheduled service if you’d like us to use your equipment. The vacuum or mop must be fully functional and ready to use—we will empty the canister after use, but we do not clean, maintain, or troubleshoot client-supplied machines.

Please note that we are not liable for any damage that may occur while using your vacuum or mop. A minimum fee of $20 per visit applies when using client-provided equipment, and additional charges may be incurred if it requires extra time or effort. We also reserve the right to decline the use of any equipment we consider unsafe or unsuitable.

If you’d like us to use your tools, just provide clear instructions and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

What if I have items that need special care during cleaning?

If you have items that are fragile, high in value (monetary or sentimental), or require special care, please let us know in writing before your scheduled service. We’ll gladly make note of them and avoid handling anything you’d prefer we leave untouched.

To ensure their safety, we recommend that you personally dust or clean those items. Your peace of mind matters to us, and we want to treat your home with the same care and respect we would our own.

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

Not at all—it’s entirely up to you! Some clients prefer to be home during the cleaning, while others schedule their service while they’re away. We’re happy to accommodate whichever option works best for you.

For the most efficient service, it’s ideal if our team can work with minimal interruptions. If you do plan to be home, we just ask that space is given so our technicians can focus and complete the cleaning thoroughly and on time.

If you’re not home:
No problem! Just provide us with entry details—such as a garage code, lockbox, or door instructions—and we’ll take it from there. Your information is always handled with care, confidentiality, and professionalism.

Whether you’re present or away, our goal is to deliver reliable, high-quality cleaning that fits your schedule and makes your life easier.

What if I need to reschedule or skip my scheduled cleaning?

No problem—just let us know! We understand that plans change, and we’ll always do our best to work with your schedule.

You’ll receive reminders before your appointment to help you plan ahead. If you ever need to cancel or reschedule, we simply ask that you let us know at least 2 days before your scheduled cleaning.

If it’s shorter notice, a 50% fee may apply. For same-day cancellations, the full service cost may be charged—though we’ll always review each case with care.

You can cancel or reschedule by phone, text, or email—whatever’s easiest for you.

Have a change in plans? We’re just a text or call away—and happy to help!

Will I have the same cleaning person on each visit?

We do our best to provide consistency by assigning the same cleaner for your regular maintenance visits. That said, situations like illness, vacations, or scheduling adjustments may sometimes require a substitute.

We also occasionally optimize our routes to improve efficiency, which can result in changes to your assigned technician. But no matter who visits, you can trust that every member of our team is fully trained and follows the same high-quality cleaning standards.

Our goal is always to keep transitions minimal and ensure your home receives the same great care—every time.

How do I prepare for a scheduled cleaning?

A little prep goes a long way in helping our team deliver the best possible results! Here’s how you can help us get started smoothly:

Tidy Up Surfaces and Floors (or Let Us Know if You Need Help)
Please remove clothing, toys, dishes, and other personal items so we can easily access all areas that need cleaning.
If you’ll need help preparing surfaces, just let us know in advance—we offer Prep Assistance for a small additional charge and can schedule extra time as needed.

Secure Fragile or Valuable Items
If you have anything delicate, valuable, or sentimental, we recommend storing it in a safe place before your visit to prevent accidental damage during the cleaning process.

Plan for Pets
We love pets, and we’re happy to work around them as long as they’re friendly and not interfering with the cleaning. If you’re unsure how your pet will react to our team, we ask that you supervise them or keep them secured during the visit to ensure a safe and smooth experience for everyone.

Taking these simple steps helps us focus on what we do best—delivering a detailed, efficient, and stress-free clean. We appreciate your help!

Do I have to lock up my pet when you come to clean?

Not necessarily! At Erika’s House Cleaning LLC, we’re a pet-friendly team and we’re happy to work around your pets—as long as they’re comfortable with visitors and don’t interfere with the cleaning process.

That said, their safety and supervision are your responsibility. If your pet is anxious around strangers, territorial, or likely to interrupt the cleaning, we recommend keeping them in a separate area during our visit to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience for everyone.

We love animals and want to make sure both your pets and our team stay safe and happy!

Do you offer a military discount?

Yes, we do! As a small thank you for your service, we proudly offer our Military Appreciation Discount to all active and retired military members.

How do I pay?

We accept debit or credit card payments only.

All clients are required to have a valid card on file prior to any scheduled service. Your card will be securely charged after each visit is completed.

You can manage your payment method, view upcoming appointments, and access your visit and charge history anytime through our secure customer portal.

When will my card be charged?

For recurring clients, your card is typically charged after the cleaning is completed, usually within 1–2 days, but it may take up to 5 days in some cases.

For one-time cleanings or first-time visits, we pre-authorize your card up to 5 days before the appointment. This may show as a pending transaction and is finalized once the service is completed.

In some cases—such as large, one-time cleanings that require a bigger team—we may require a booking deposit in advance. If that applies to your service, we’ll clearly communicate the amount and timing with you beforehand.

Do you charge a fee for late payments or declined cards?

Yes, in some cases. Your card is charged automatically after each service is completed. However, if the card is declined or we’re unable to process the payment for any reason, we’ll send you an invoice with payment instructions—due within 24 hours.

If you reach out to us, we’re happy to extend the due date up to 7 days upon request. However, if the invoice remains unpaid after 7 days, a $30 late fee will apply, plus an additional $10 per day for each day the balance remains overdue beyond that point.

We encourage open communication—if you’re ever unsure or need flexibility, just let us know. We’re always happy to work with you.

Can you provide references or reviews?

Absolutely! You can read what our clients have to say by visiting the Reviews section on our website, or by checking out our ratings and feedback on Google and Facebook.

To respect our clients’ privacy, we don’t share direct contact information or personal references—but we’re proud to let our public reviews speak for themselves.

How does your partnership with Cleaning for a Reason help cancer patients?

We’re proud to partner with Cleaning for a Reason, a national nonprofit that provides free home cleaning to individuals undergoing cancer treatment. Through this partnership, Erika’s House Cleaning offers complimentary cleanings to local cancer patients, helping ease the burden of household chores during an incredibly difficult time.

Our goal is to give patients one less thing to worry about—so they can focus on rest, healing, and their well-being, while we take care of the cleaning.
