What we clean

Cleanings for every kind of home day.

Pick the clean that fits the moment — a steady recurring rhythm, a top-to-bottom reset, or a hand-off after a move. Every job is flat-priced per home.

Recurring cleaning

A standing visit on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly cadence — same cleaner, same checklist, every time.

from $119

Deep clean

Baseboards, blinds, behind appliances, grout lines — the detailed reset that gets the corners a quick clean skips.

from $249

Move-in / move-out

Empty-home detailing inside cabinets, drawers, and closets so you hand over — or pick up — keys to a spotless place.

from $279

Post-renovation clean

Fine construction dust off every surface, vent, and fixture — so a finished remodel actually feels finished.

from $329

Apartment & condo

Right-sized cleans for studios, one-beds, and high-rise units — priced for the square footage, never overcharged.

from $99

Add-ons

Inside-fridge and inside-oven detailing, interior windows, and laundry — tack any of them onto a visit.

Why Brightwork

Letting someone into your home should feel easy.

So we built Brightwork around one promise: you always know exactly who's coming, how they were vetted, and what you'll pay. No rotating strangers, no surprise line items.

The same cleaner every visit

You're paired with one cleaner who learns your home — the cabinet that sticks, the rug that shouldn't get wet. Familiar, not a new face each week.

Background-checked W-2 employees

Every cleaner is hired, trained, and paid by Brightwork — never a contractor. Each passes a national background check before their first home.

Flat per-home pricing

One quote for your home, locked in. We don't bill by the hour, so a slow day for us never turns into a bigger invoice for you.

Free reschedules

Life happens. Move or skip a visit up to 24 hours ahead at no charge — no cancellation fee, no awkward conversation.

The difference

See the room change.

Real Chicago homes, before and after a Brightwork visit. Slide your eye across the divider.

Cluttered kitchen → spotless counters

A weekday-evening sink pile, cleared and wiped down — Lakeview two-bed.

Dusty shelves → clean surfaces

Every shelf hand-wiped, books reset square — Logan Square living room.

Messy bathroom → sparkling bathroom

Tile, grout, glass and chrome polished streak-free — Wicker Park condo.

"Same cleaner, Daniela, for eight months now. She knows our place better than we do and the kitchen always looks like a photo when I get home. Worth every dollar."

"Booked a move-out clean for our condo and the landlord refunded the full deposit. They got inside cabinets I'd completely forgotten about. Quote took two minutes."

"We have two cats and I'm picky about products. Brightwork uses plant-based stuff with zero harsh smell — the apartment just smells like nothing, which is exactly right."

"After our kitchen remodel the dust was everywhere — vents, light fixtures, the works. The post-renovation crew handled all of it in one visit. Genuinely impressed."

"One time something got missed in the bathroom and I mentioned it — they sent someone back the next morning, no fuss, no charge. That's the part that earned my trust."

"I love that they're real employees, not gig workers. It means the same vetted person, every single time, and I never have to think about who's in my home. Huge relief."

Common questions

Good things to know before you book.

Still unsure about something? Call us — a real person picks up.

Will I get the same cleaner every time?

Yes — that's the whole point of how we work. You're paired with one cleaner who keeps your recurring slot, so the same familiar person returns each visit. If they're ever out sick or on vacation, we tell you ahead of time and send a trained backup who's briefed on your home's notes.

Are your cleaners employees or contractors?

Every Brightwork cleaner is a W-2 employee — hired, trained, background-checked, and paid by us, never a gig contractor. It matters because employees are accountable to a company you can hold responsible, they're covered by our insurance, and they stick around — which is exactly why you keep the same person. We do not use independent contractors at all.

What products do you use — are they safe for pets and kids?

We clean with plant-based, eco-friendly products that are low-VOC and free of ammonia and bleach, so they're safe to use around pets and children with no harsh fumes left behind. If you'd rather we use a specific product you already own — or skip a particular scent — just leave it out and note it on your booking. We're happy to work with what you keep at home.

Do I need to be home during the clean?

Not at all — most clients are at work during their visit. You can leave a key, a lockbox code, or a building entry method on file, and your cleaner follows your access notes exactly. Many people like to be home for the first clean to do a quick walkthrough, then hand off access for every visit after that. Whatever you're comfortable with works.

What isn't included in a standard clean?

A standard recurring clean covers kitchens, bathrooms, floors, dusting, and tidying. It doesn't include inside-the-fridge or inside-the-oven detailing, interior windows, laundry, exterior work, or moving heavy furniture — those are optional add-ons you can attach to any visit. Anything that needs a ladder above two steps, pest cleanup, or biohazard work falls outside what we do; we'll tell you upfront if so.
