Cleaning services

Cleans that match how you want your home to look

As home managers, we know your home and how you want it to look after a clean. We bill by the hour, so you only pay for the work done, with Second Homecare.

Documented expectations

We document your home in its guest-ready state, so our consistent clean team delivers great cleans every time, with immediate job updates.

Hourly cleans

Some stays leave your home in great shape, and others leave a mess. You only pay for the work needed, and you can set a maximum number of clean hours to stay on budget.

Supplies stocked

We stock paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies and bathroom amenities.

Cleans on your schedule

We can work with your vacation calendar and clean after every rental, or clean at your request.

Specialty cleaning

Steam cleaning mattresses, clearing dryer vents, deep cleaning grills, carpet cleaning and more are a simple request.

Extra sanitizing

If you ever want extra precautions, we have electrostatic sprayers and foggers to reach every surface.
