⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.9 on Google and Yelp
Meet the Ottera Demo Deep Clean
Real deep clean first → Walk into the result → Decide if you want regular service.
Instead of locking you into a long-term contract or a big flat rate, we start with a Demo Deep Clean:
Pricing: $35/hour per cleaner
Goal: give your home a true reset and show you what our system can do
Result: you walk in and feel the difference — then choose if you want recurring cleanings
How It Works
Step 1 — Quick Form or Text
Tell us your home size (ex. 2 bed / 2 bath) and preferred days/times.
Step 2 — Transparent Estimate Range
We give you a realistic labor-hour range (for example, most 2 bed/2 bath deep cleans take about 6–8 labor hours).
You see what to expect before we arrive.
Step 3 — Deep Clean Day
Our trained team follows the Ottera Deep Clean Protocol™, then we:
walk the home with you (if you’re there), or
send photos of key areas so you can see the details.
If anything’s missed, we come back and fix it.

Pricing That Feels Fair and Makes Sense
You only pay for real work done — not inflated flat rates.
Instead of guessing a flat fee and hoping it’s worth it, we:
Base everything on real labor hours
Give you a range estimate before we start
Text you if we ever need more time than estimated
Never add extras without your approval
Most 2 bed / 2 bath deep cleans take 6–8 labor hours, so at $35/hour per cleaner, most first-time deep cleans land in the $210–$280 range, depending on the condition.
No surprise invoices. No “Oh, that’s extra.” Everything is clear upfront.
No More “First Clean Amazing, Second Clean Meh, Third Clean Rushed”
We built Ottera to be the opposite of that experience:
Trained team, not random gig workers
Same team for your recurring cleanings whenever possible
Checklist-based cleaning so routines don’t slip over time
Photo quality checks on deep cleans
Simple way to leave feedback after every visit
We don’t ask you to just trust us — we show you the system we use to stay consistent.
Our “We Fix It” Guarantee
If anything was missed or doesn’t feel properly cleaned, tell us within 24 hours and we’ll return to fix it — at no extra cost.
No arguing. No blaming. Just making it right.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How much will my Demo Deep Clean cost?
A: It depends on the size and condition of your home. We’ll give you a labor-hour range upfront (for example, 6–8 labor hours for a typical 2 bed / 2 bath), and we’ll always check with you before going over that estimate.
Q2: Do I have to sign a contract?
A: No. The Demo Deep Clean is a one-time visit. If you love the result, we’ll design a recurring plan that fits your home and schedule. If not, no hard feelings.
Q3: Do you bring your own supplies and equipment?
A: Yes. We bring professional supplies and equipment. If you prefer specific products (for allergies, pets, or personal preference), we can use yours instead.
Q4: Are you insured?
A: Yes, we are fully insured for your peace of mind.
Q5: Can I reschedule if something comes up?
A: Of course. Just give us as much notice as you can, and we’ll find another time that works for you.
You’re not paying for “effort.” You’re paying for a result.
