Representative review
“The salt line inside our front door had become part of the floor. After the reset, that whole entry felt calm again, and the rest of the apartment finally matched it.”

Representative review
“I noticed the cooktop first: no film around the burners, no rushed wipe at the edges. The all-in price stayed exactly where the booking screen put it, which made the whole visit feel straightforward.”
Representative review
“We booked the reset after the last moving box left. The kitchen and bathrooms looked ready for the walkthrough, and the empty apartment felt cared for rather than just vacated.”
Representative review
“Our cat owns the window bench, which usually means fur in every corner of it. The low-fragrance reset handled that spot without leaving the apartment smelling like cleaning products all evening.”
Made for Chicago
A reset shaped by Chicago homes.
Chicago homes ask different things of a reset. A two-flat or greystone collects the day along its stairs and trim; a lakefront high-rise brings city dust to glass and floors. Then winter arrives, and salt and slush gather by the door. The work should meet the home in front of it, with eco-friendly supplies included and a careful standard throughout.
Downtown, a smaller space can feel unsettled quickly: one busy entry, one crowded counter, nowhere for the week to disappear. A reset brings the room back into focus without turning booking into another errand. You see the all-in price upfront, with no parking or high-rise surcharge, and a background-checked cleaner arrives with the included supplies and the priorities from your booking notes.

The quiet after a really good clean.
Representative experiences — written in the voice of the feedback we hear.
“The receipt matched the price on the booking screen. Nothing new appeared, and nothing needed decoding.”
“Morning or afternoon, I could choose the recurring reset that fit our week instead of rearranging the week around it.”
“The apartment was empty, clean, and ready to hand back. One walkthrough and we were done with the old place.”
The room-by-room standard
Every room,
accounted for.
A home reset should never feel vague. Your pro follows a clear plan, brings every supply, and closes the loop before they leave.
“Clean” is not a mood. It is a standard you can see, room by room.

Which Chicago neighborhoods do you cover?
From The Loop, Lincoln Park, River North, and Gold Coast to West Loop, Hyde Park, Wicker Park, Lakeview, Logan Square, Streeterville, Pilsen, and Old Town — most of the city proper, with new blocks added as we grow. If your address books online, we cover you.
Are your cleaning products eco-friendly?
Yes. Plant-based, low-fragrance products and HEPA-filter equipment come standard on every reset — safe for families and pets, and included in your price rather than billed as an add-on.
Do you charge extra for parking or high-rise access?
No. Your price is all-in and shown before you book. We don't tack on parking, high-rise, or drive-time surcharges after the fact.
Can I get the same cleaner each visit?
On recurring plans, yes — we prefer to send the cleaner who already knows your home. For one-time resets we match you with the best-fit vetted cleaner available for your slot.
What if something is missed?
Every Chicago clean is backed by the White Glove Guarantee. If something isn't right, tell us and we'll make it right — that's the whole point of vetting and standing behind the people we send.
How does a reset work in a high-rise or doorman building?
Put your building's access details in the booking notes — front desk, freight elevator, or a key at the door — and the cleaner matched to your home arrives prepared. The visit itself works the same as anywhere else.
What does a reset visit cover?
The rooms that carry daily life — kitchen, bathrooms, surfaces, and floors — shaped by the reset you choose; your booking notes set the priorities within that scope. For built-up homes, choose a deep reset.
What changes during Chicago's winter salt and slush season?
Winter moves the work to the door: salt, slush, and grit track into entryways and along the floors that lead from them. The Hometress method is tuned for that range — note the entryway as a priority in your booking and the reset makes room for it.
Can I book a reset around a move?
If your address books online and a move reset appears as an option, you can choose it — an empty or nearly-empty home is the right time for one. Your exact all-in price shows before you confirm.
