How it works

How mvhousecleaning.com works on Martha's Vineyard

mvhousecleaning.com is a referral platform. It introduces homeowners to independent local cleaning companies that cover their town. It does not clean homes, employ cleaners or hold keys or codes.

A person reads every request and every application, and replies within 48 hours. We are signing up the first cleaning companies now.

For homeowners

  1. Send a request with your town, the size of your home, the cleaning you want and roughly when.
  2. A person reads it and replies within 48 hours. If something is unclear, we ask.
  3. We introduce up to 3 independent cleaning companies that cover your town.
  4. If no company covers your town yet, we tell you, and we say how long it may take while the first companies join.
  5. You talk to the companies and choose one, then agree with it directly on the price, the schedule and how it gets in.

Request a cleaner

For cleaning companies

  1. Apply with your towns, services, years on the island and references. A person replies within 48 hours.
  2. Before we list a company, we ask for proof of insurance and for references, and we agree the fee. You pay nothing until your first client.
  3. When a homeowner's request fits your towns and services, we may introduce you.
  4. You set your own prices, schedules, methods and checklists.

List your company

In plain terms

What to know before you send a request

Where things stand

Requests are open, and we are signing up the first cleaning companies now. A person replies to every request within 48 hours. Nothing is booked or sold through the site.

Independent companies

The cleaning companies we introduce are independent businesses. They are not employees or agents of mvhousecleaning.com, and mvhousecleaning.com does not clean homes.

Who pays

Cleaning companies pay mvhousecleaning.com a flat referral fee for each new client introduced, never a percentage of a job. Homeowners pay nothing for introductions. You pay the cleaning company directly, at the price it sets.

What we check

Before we list a cleaning company, we ask for proof of insurance and for references. When we introduce one, we tell you what we checked and when. A certificate on file does not prove that a policy will pay a claim. We do not run background checks.

The cleaning plan builder sets out a year of cleans for your house, and the questions and answers cover prices, payment and what we check.
