No, you do not need to be home. Many of our clients provide a key, garage code, or lockbox access so our team can clean while they are at work or running errands. Because every team member is background-checked, insured, and bonded, you can trust that your home is in safe hands. Some clients prefer to be home during the first visit and then provide access for subsequent cleanings once they are comfortable with their assigned team.
Our minimum service visit starts at $125. Pricing depends on the size of your home, the level of cleaning needed, and how frequently you schedule service. Homes that receive regular weekly or bi-weekly cleanings cost less per visit than one-time or monthly deep cleans because they require less intensive work each time. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you know the exact cost before we begin. Call us at (863) 662-4646 or request a quote online.

You can book a Priority Cleaning directly from our website using the Book Now button.
Cleaning for a Reason is a national nonprofit organization that partners with professional cleaning companies to provide free house cleanings to cancer patients and their families. Qualified Cleaning Service is a proud partner of this program. Every month, we donate professional cleanings to local families in Polk County who are going through cancer treatment. We believe that no one fighting cancer should have to worry about cleaning their home. If you or someone you know is undergoing cancer treatment, please visit cleaningforareason.org to apply.
Yes! Move-in and move-out cleaning is one of our core services. Whether you are selling a home and want it to show beautifully, buying a home and want it fresh before moving in, or finishing a rental lease, our team delivers a thorough deep clean. We work with homeowners, real estate agents, and property managers throughout Polk County. Many local real estate professionals rely on Qualified Cleaning Service for their transaction cleanings because of our reliability and attention to detail.
When selecting a cleaning service, look for these key indicators:
• Insurance and bonding — Verify they carry liability insurance and are bonded
• Background checks — Ask whether staff undergo federal, state, and local background screening
• Workers’ Compensation — Protects you from liability if a worker is injured in your home
• W-2 employees — Companies that hire employees (not contractors) maintain higher quality standards
• Online reviews — Check Google reviews for consistent positive feedback
• Years in business — Longevity indicates reliability and community trust
Qualified Cleaning Service checks every box: fully insured, bonded, Workers’ Comp covered, background-checked W-2 employees, a 4.9-star rating from 323 Google reviews, and over 25 years serving Polk County.
All of our cleaning technicians are W-2 employees, not independent contractors. This is an important distinction because it means our team members receive consistent training, follow standardized cleaning procedures, and are covered under our insurance and Workers’ Compensation policies. You get accountability, quality control, and peace of mind that every person in your home has been vetted, trained, and is backed by our company.
A deep cleaning (our Deluxe Cleaning) is a comprehensive, top-to-bottom cleaning of your entire home. It includes detailed work like scrubbing baseboards, cleaning inside appliances, washing blinds, and addressing areas that do not get routine attention. A recurring cleaning maintains the standard set by a deep clean through regular weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly visits. Recurring clients enjoy consistent pricing, priority scheduling, and the same trusted cleaning team at every visit.
The ideal cleaning frequency depends on your household:
Weekly cleaning — Best for homes with children, pets, or high foot traffic. Keeps your home consistently fresh.
Bi-weekly cleaning — Our most popular option. Maintains a clean home without a large time or budget commitment.
Monthly cleaning — Works well for smaller homes, singles, or couples who maintain their space between visits.
We also offer one-time deep cleans for special occasions, seasonal refreshes, or real estate transitions.
Your first cleaning with Qualified Cleaning Service is typically a Deluxe Cleaning — our most thorough service. Our team arrives on time with all supplies and equipment (we ask to use your vacuum to prevent cross-contamination of allergens between homes). We work room by room, cleaning top to bottom: ceiling fans, blinds, baseboards, all kitchen and bathroom surfaces, dusting, and floors. A first-time cleaning takes longer than recurring visits because we are establishing a deep-clean baseline for your home. After the initial visit, each subsequent cleaning maintains that standard.
Yes, you can!
All your standard cleaning. Kitchen, bathrooms, dusting and floors.
With care, but accidents do happen, so if it is an item that can’t be replaced or is sentimental, please do not have us clean it.
If you provide it, we can use it but, please keep in mind that you may not get the same results.
We provide everything; However, we prefer to use your vacuum to reduce the spread of allergens and germs.
Accidents are going to happen from time to time. If it does, we have the coverage.
Yes. Every team member undergoes Federal, State, and local background checks before they enter a client’s home. All of our cleaning technicians carry company ID badges, are W-2 employees (not independent contractors), and receive ongoing training. Your safety and peace of mind are our top priorities.
Twenty-four business hours’ notice is needed so as not to forfeit the deposit or have a cancelation fee.
Sometimes, we can book the same day. Of course, the more notice, the better, on bigger jobs.
No, we do not. Our team needs a break to rest and spend time with friends and family.
If available, yes! On weekly and bi-weekly cleanings, we set your cleanings up with the same cleaning technician.

We use commercial-grade cleaning supplies. Our products are safe for your family and pets, but are they not “Green products”?
