Meet Honest Maids

A family cleaning company from Reseda

Where we started

Honest Maids is a small family owned company. We started here in Reseda and we still work these streets every day, before spreading out across the rest of the San Fernando Valley.

Who actually cleans your home

The cleaners are our own staff, trained by us, screened by us, and paid by us. Nobody hands your keys to a stranger.

Why we call it honest

You get a free estimate and the figure is agreed before we start, so nothing lands on you at the end. Every visit carries a satisfaction guarantee. If something is not right, tell us and we come back to fix it. That is the standard the reviews are talking about.

How it works

From your first text to a clean home

Four steps, no pressure, and a real person from Reseda on the other end.

Text us a few details

The size of the place, the number of bathrooms, and roughly what you need. A photo helps. A real person answers, and there is no form to fill out.

We send a real figure

A written estimate comes back, usually the same day. The price is agreed before anything is booked, and no card is needed to hold your slot.

Your trained team arrives

The same small crew each visit, in uniform, with every supply and machine already in the van. Nothing to set out and nothing for you to buy.

You walk it with us

Before we leave we walk the space together. If something is not right you tell us, and we fix it before we go. Every visit carries that guarantee.

Why "honest"

No surprises. Ever.

The stuff other cleaners keep quiet, we put on the page.

Price before we start

You get the figure up front. Nothing lands on you after the job.

Your own trained team

The same people, our own staff, never a subcontractor handed your keys.

No card, no contract

Book with a text. No deposit, no lock in, no cancellation fee.

We make it right

If something is not right, tell us and we come back. Simple as that.

Standard versus deep

What is the difference between a standard clean and a deep clean?

A standard clean is a recurring upkeep visit that maintains a home already at baseline. A deep clean is a longer one time reset that reaches everywhere a standard clean does not have the hours to touch.

Standard clean

The upkeep visit

Recurring maintenance for a home already at baseline.

  • Kitchen counters, sink, stovetop, and appliance exteriors
  • Bathrooms including tub, shower, toilet, sink, and mirror
  • Dusting reachable surfaces and horizontal edges
  • Vacuum carpets, mop hard floors, empty trash

Deep clean

The reset

A longer one time visit that reaches what upkeep does not.

  • Inside the oven, behind and under the refrigerator
  • Along baseboards, door frames, and window sills
  • Into shower and tile grout with a scrub, not a wipe
  • Across ceiling fans, light fixtures, and vent covers
  • Inside every cabinet and drawer, plus interior windows

Rule of thumb: if the home has gone more than two months without a professional clean, or if you are switching from cleaning it yourself, start with a deep clean. After that, a standard visit on a regular schedule holds the line at a lower price per visit.

What a standard clean covers and what a deep clean adds on top Two lists side by side. The left list, a standard clean, is the regular visit: kitchen counters, the sink and stovetop, bathrooms including the shower and toilet, mirrors and glass, dusting of surfaces you can reach, floors vacuumed and mopped, beds made, and trash emptied. The right list, a deep clean, states that it includes everything on the left and then adds the places that build up over months: inside the oven, inside and underneath the refrigerator, inside cabinets and drawers, shower and tile grout, baseboards and door frames, light fixtures and ceiling fans, switch plates and vents, window tracks and sills, and behind furniture that moves safely. An arrow runs from the left list to the right one to show that a deep clean contains a standard clean rather than replacing it. Standard clean vs deep clean A deep clean is everything in a standard clean, and then the buildup. Honest Maids STANDARD CLEAN The regular visit that holds a home Kitchen counters Sink and stovetop Bathrooms, shower and toilet Mirrors and glass Dusting you can reach Floors vacuumed and mopped Beds made Trash emptied DEEP CLEAN All of the left, and then these Inside the oven Inside and under the fridge Inside cabinets and drawers Shower and tile grout Baseboards and door frames Light fixtures and ceiling fans Switch plates, vents, window tracks Behind furniture that moves . A home that has never had a professional clean usually starts with one deep clean, then holds it with standard visits.
A deep clean does not replace a standard clean, it contains it. The extra work is the buildup a weekly visit never reaches, which is why a home that has not had one usually starts there.

What every clean includes

The same standard, every room, every visit

Below is what a regular clean looks like across the house. Deep cleans reach further, and move outs are built around what a landlord checks.

Every room

  • Dust, cobweb removal, and full wipe of surfaces
  • Vacuum carpets, mop hard floors, edges included
  • Baseboards, door frames, and light switches wiped
  • Mirrors and glass streak free

Kitchen

  • Counters, backsplash, and exterior of appliances
  • Stovetop cleaned, hood exterior wiped
  • Sink scrubbed, faucet polished
  • Trash emptied, cabinet fronts wiped

Bathrooms

  • Shower, tub, and tile scrubbed
  • Toilet cleaned inside, outside, and behind
  • Sink and counter sanitized, mirror polished
  • Floors mopped, trash emptied

Good to know

Questions we get before the first clean

How much does a cleaning cost?
It depends on the size of the home, the number of bathrooms, and whether it is a first visit or a regular one. Tell us those and we give you a real number by text or phone, before anything is booked. No card is needed to hold your slot.
How soon can you come?
Often the same week, sometimes the same day for a small job. The best way to check is to text us. If you are somewhere in the San Fernando Valley and the calendar has room, we can usually get to you quickly.
Do I get the same cleaners each time?
Yes, wherever the schedule allows. The same trained people learn your home, so you are never handing your keys to a rotating pool of strangers. That is one of the reasons regular customers stay with us.
What if something is not right?
Tell us and we come back to make it right. All we ask is the chance to fix it. Every visit carries a satisfaction guarantee, and it is why the reviews say what they say.
Do you bring supplies?
Yes, everything. We arrive with all supplies and equipment, for every service. There is nothing for you to buy or set out. If you prefer a specific product for a surface, just tell us and we will use what you have.
Do I need to be home during the clean?
Only if you want to be. Many customers give us access and go about their day. If you would rather stay, that is fine too. Either way, we walk the space with you or send a note before we leave.
Is Honest Maids insured?
Yes. We are a licensed and insured family owned company based in Reseda. Insurance details can be shared before your first visit if you want to see them.
