“I liked that my request stayed with one company instead of being passed around. The cleaner already worked in Fishtown and handled the kitchen and floors exactly as booked.”
Cleaning businesses near me
When you look for cleaning businesses near you, choose the local one. Hometress is Center City based, with vetted cleaners who live and work in Philadelphia, and dispatched neighborhood-first — not a national franchise, and not a lead-gen site quietly reselling your request to whoever bids.

About this service
Center City · Rittenhouse · Fishtown · Northern Liberties · Queen Village · South Philly · University City · Old City · Fairmount · West Philly · Mount Airy
Search "cleaning businesses near me" in Philadelphia and you'll get three kinds of results: national franchises running a playbook from out of state, lead-gen sites that take your info and resell it to whoever pays, and actual local businesses. Since 2021, Hometress has been the third kind — based in Center City at 21 S 11th St, staffing cleaners who live and work in Philadelphia, and answering to this city, not a corporate headquarters somewhere else.
Local isn't just a nice story — it changes the work. Our cleaners live and work in Philadelphia and know the neighborhoods they clean, so the person matched to you is invested in this city and sticks around. We dispatch neighborhood-first, matching you with someone who already works your area. And when you have a question or a problem, you reach a Philadelphia business that owns the outcome — not a call center, and not a stranger a lead broker sold your number to. The cleaner matched to your Philadelphia neighborhood is background-checked, and Hometress carries general liability insurance that may cover damage from a cleaner's negligence.

Why Hometress
What's included
The same thorough clean, plus the things only a real local business can offer — accountability, continuity, and a stake in this city.
Weighing a franchise or a "find a pro" site against a local business? The local one owns the outcome. That's the whole difference.

From search to clean
Choosing local should change more than the address in the footer. Here is how one Philadelphia business carries your clean from booking through follow-through.
Flat, all-in pricing · supplies included · make-right guarantee
Backed by the White Glove Guarantee
Tell us within 48 hours. We review every concern and make it right — a free re-clean of the affected area, or a credit or refund on that portion.

“The flat price was clear before I booked, and supplies were already included. It felt straightforward compared with the quote forms I had been sorting through.”
Representative review
“We moved to recurring visits and asked to keep the same cleaner. She already knows our Mount Airy house, so each visit feels consistent without another round of introductions.”
Local means accountable
The booking stays with one local business, from the neighborhood match through the completed clean and the make-right promise.

Or book on the web →Local, fully. Hometress is based in Center City at 21 S 11th St, and our cleaners live and work in Philadelphia. We're not a franchise running a playbook from out of state, and we're not a national brand with a local phone number — we're a Philadelphia business accountable to this city.
No. Unlike lead-gen and "find a pro" sites that take your request and resell it to whoever bids, your booking stays with us. One business handles the whole job — matching your cleaner, doing the work, and standing behind it — with no broker skimming in the middle.
Yes — we dispatch neighborhood-first, matching you with a vetted cleaner who already works your part of the city rather than routing one in from across town. Enter your ZIP when you book and we'll confirm coverage and match a local pro.
Standard home cleaning starts at $170 as a flat, all-in price for most homes. Your home's size and the kind of clean determine the total, which appears before you book. Supplies are included, so the number is not an hourly estimate or an opening bid from a lead site. One Philadelphia business handles the booking and stands behind the completed work.
No. You can be home if you prefer, but the clean does not depend on it. If you will be out, arrange access details with Hometress before the visit so the cleaner can enter and complete the booked work. Your booking remains with one Philadelphia business from scheduling through the make-right guarantee, whether you stay home or step out.
Hometress works with independent, vetted cleaning professionals who live and work in Philadelphia — not anonymous providers bidding on a lead marketplace. Every cleaner we refer is background-checked, and dispatched neighborhood-first when possible. Either way, one local business is responsible for matching the cleaner, completing the booked work, and addressing a problem if something is not right.
Every Hometress cleaner is background-checked, and Hometress carries general liability insurance that may cover damage from a cleaner's negligence. The cleaner matched to you is a vetted Hometress pro who works in Philadelphia, not an unknown provider bidding on a resold request. For recurring cleaning, we aim to send back the cleaner who knows your home, giving the relationship continuity without giving up the accountability of a local business.
