Simply click on the Booking link on the top of this website and complete the form. It shouldn’t take more than 60 seconds and we’ll contact you to confirm your appointment. Start your booking here: https://onix.cleaning/learn-more

Once you have completed your online booking you will receive a confirmation email. This is there to reassure you that your booking has gone through. If you need to alter your appointment for any reason, you may do so without penalty 48-hours before your appointment time.

Our cleaners will always try to arrive on time for your clean however please do note when booking we ask for a 2 hour arrival window to take into account heavy traffic and unforeseen events. For instance, if you booked a service 11 AM, you can expect us to arrive between 11AM-1PM. While we cannot guarantee our exact time of arrival because we give every home the attention it deserves and requires, we do offer arrival windows for your convenience. We do our best to ensure that our cleaning plan doesn’t interfere with your schedule. We will contact you if we are running late or running ahead of schedule. As a general rule, you can expect us to arrive within our designated window.

Step 1: Customize your service, and tailor the cleaning to your home.

Step 2: Get a quote through our online booking form.

Step 3: Set up regular cleanings with your favorite cleaner. Once we have matched you with a certified cleaner, you can set up a weekly, biweekly, or monthly schedule.

To ensure maximum efficiency, we ask that you pick up any toys or clothing before we arrive. We also ask that you find a place for your pets so they’re comfortable while we clean. Following through with these requests will help both your family and our team ensure that all of your possessions are in a safe place.

To ensure your service goes smoothly, we suggest that you:

Communicate openly and clearly with your cleaner when giving instructions.

De-clutter your home (by clearing counters and tables, putting away toys, clothes and accessories, securing valuables, etc)

The less time the cleaners spend decluttering your home before they can actually clean, the better your cleaning experience will be.

Performing a walkthrough at the beginning and end of each appointment.

This eliminates any gray area, and sets clear expectations for both you and your cleaner.

Making sure you indicate any areas you would like cleaners to focus on (or avoid altogether), whether in person or by utilizing the customer notes.

Remember, each customer has different expectations. To make sure yours are met, make them clear to your cleaner.

Cleaning Services

Learn more about the various services we offer.

Absolutely! In order to be sure that your preferences are recorded in your cleaning plan, we recommend that you call or email us directly. Our friendly office staff will be happy to log your needs in our system so you don’t have to reiterate them every time we arrive for service.

This often includes driving directions for difficult to find areas, gate or special access instructions and parking instructions. However, you are free to add whatever you feel is important for our cleaning professionals.

Special requests must be submitted via email/phone in advance of the scheduled cleaning service. Cleaners are not able to take special requests at the time of the job.

All of our cleaners work to a checklist that we guarantee to complete. They work through your home, ticking off the tasks as they complete them. That way you can be confident that all of the tasks have been completed to the highest Onix Cleaning standard.

All of our cleaners work to a checklist that we guarantee to complete. They work through your home, ticking off the tasks as they complete them. That way you can be confident that all of the tasks have been completed to the highest Onix Cleaning standard. To view each set of tasks by cleaning type, check out our cleaning checklist page.

Besides getting a discount on the service, we also pre-schedule your appointments to ensure you get the same team each time. We also give our recurring clients first dibs on seasonal specials.

Currently, we can clean the inside and outside of accessible windows if you select this service at the time of booking. This service includes washing the window sills, window tracks, inside of windows, and outside of accessible windows.

For example, if your house is one story with standard 8-foot ceilings and windows, then we should be able to clean all your windows both inside and outside. However, if you live in a high rise or two-story property, then we will only be able to clean the inside of your windows and outside windows on the first floor that are no higher than 9 feet.

For safety purposes, we don’t allow housekeepers to use ladders, only extension pools. If you have a small two-foot stool or ladder that would be good for outside use, please provide and note this when you book. If our team assess and determines it is safe, they will use it.

Every household has different needs. To begin with, most clients order an initial deep or standard cleaning of their home to assess the service, then they decide to book a recurring appointment based on how often the assistance is needed. By following this model, you can rest assured that your home is always clean and in top shape.

For first time customers and one-time customers, our Quality Inspection will include taking before and after photos of our cleaning technicians’ work. These pictures are used for training, proof of our work performance and promotion of our high quality standards. These pictures are most often used, but not limited to, Onetime Cleanings, Spring Cleans and Move‐In/Out cleanings. If you do not want pictures taken of work areas in your home please notify Onix Cleaning.

For standard recurring cleaning, service typically takes bewtween 1-2 hours on average but can vary based on the a number of factors including the size of the propery. First time cleanings can take twice as long.

For the safety of our cleaning professionals we can’t perform the following: climb ladders, lift objects that weigh more than 25 pounds, move heavy objects (e.g stoves, refrigerators, heavy couches and chairs) mold removal, deep stain removal, insect infestations, pest removal, and hazardous material clean-up.

We hope you understand that the health and safety of our cleaners is very important to us! For health and safety concerns we don’t offer the following: We don’t clean properties where there is active smoking happening, our company is strictly non-smoking. We do not want to expose our staff to second-hand smoke or where the air quality is tainted.

We don’t clean properties with any wild or potentially dangerous animals. We clean around animal litter boxes, but we don’t clean out litter boxes or handle animal feces. We don’t offer de-hoarding services or clean properties with a current hoarding issue, due to the danger of piles and the inability to clean properly with the overcrowding of stuff.

For liability reasons we don’t clean the following: To avoid breaking or damaging old blinds or shutters, we only clean blinds and shutters that are in good working condition. We dust all surfaces and items except collectibles, fine china or other precious items located inside of china cabinets or other off-limit areas you designate.

To ensure we provide your home with the highest quality of care, we don’t typically: clean toys, clean the inside of your fireplace, pick up clutter, clean your iron, do laundry or wash dishes. 

We want to make sure that all of your belongings are in the right place when we leave, which is why we leave these organizational tasks to you. However, we’re happy to clean the inside of your cabinets, stove, and refrigerator upon request. Note: The add-on service to clean the interior of drawers and cabinets will only be performed if these areas are empty.

If you’d like us to clean behind or underneath heavy objects, please move them beforehand or arrange to have them moved during your appointment. If your home does have black mold you should immediately consult a specialist to remove the mold. Only then would we resume cleaning that area.

In order for us to provide you with excellent cleaning service, there’s a few things we require from you. Our cleaning professionals must have access to your home at the specified appointment time. Your home must also have running hot water and electricity. 

During spring and summer months your home must have working air conditioning. While our professionals will generally avoid cleaning areas with small traces of black mold, your home cannot have too many areas with black mold. 

If you fail to meet these conditions, our cleaning professionals reserve the right to refuse you service until the conditions are met. We strongly urge you make sure these conditions are met before our professionals arrive.

That’s entirely up to you, we recommend being there for the first time cleaning if possible. If you cannot be home for your booking, that’s perfectly fine. 

When you book your appointment, you’ll be asked to provide instructions for entering and exiting your property including any special parking arrangements you need us to follow. 

Please note that if you leave your keys with the cleaner, Onix Cleaning will not be responsible for any issues.

The deep clean package is a comprehensive top-to-bottom cleaning for first-time customers or customers who haven’t had their home professionally cleaned in the last 30 days. 

We utilize our Deep Clean Checklist to ensure we capture all of the little details. In addition to cleaning all the areas in your home you’d expect, during the first clean, Onix Cleaning will damp wipe your baseboards, trash cans, doors and door frames – removing the dust and grime buildup. We will vacuum and disinfect all registers and vents, as well as edge all rooms with the vacuum. We will vacuum floor to ceiling in the corners of each room we clean, and then corner to corner along the tops of the walls to remove any cobwebs and dust up high. 

Team members will spend extra time in the kitchen and the bathrooms to clean away scale and soap buildup on the first visit. We clean the kitchen floor, bathroom floors and the entry foyer. We use HEPA-filtered vacuums to remove allergens out of the air and furniture, as well as cleaning under beds and on top of appliances.

We come equipped with extension poles that allow us to reach 8-10 feet ceilings depending on the height of the cleaner. If your ceilings are higher than 10 feet, please let us know at the time of your booking. For safety reasons, we limit our ladder use to a two-foot ladder.

We have teams that do 100% green cleaning. We also use the power of steam cleaning to sanitize and disinfect key areas in your home. Simply request it and we’ll assign a green-cleaning team. 

This method involves the practices and products used by cleaning companies to promote a better environment and a healthier home. Green cleaning solutions don’t contain ozone depleting chemicals or flammable substances that can irritate the skin and cause respiratory illnesses. 

While most green cleaning products cannot remove all harmful forms of bacteria, Onix Cleaning strives to use the most appropriate methods for each service. In order to protect the environment, we utilize microfiber cloths and pads during our services, rather than paper. Not only is this practice better for the environment, microfiber picks up 99% of bacteria while cotton-based mops only pick up 30%.

We know it’s important to build rapport with your cleaning team. So we do our best to keep you with the same team as long as you’re working with Onix but scheduling conflicts may result in occasional changes. 

All of our Onix professionals have been through our extensive recruitment process, which has allowed us to build a team of friendly and experienced cleaners who have been selected for their cleaning quality, reliability and customer service.
