Maid service in West Palm Beach, with the same maid every visit.

What “maid service” means, and how it differs from a cleaning service

People search for “maid service” and “house cleaning service” for the same reason, and in Florida the two terms are used almost interchangeably. If there is a difference, it is one of emphasis rather than substance.

We use “maid service” and “house cleaning service” to describe the same thing: a company that sends a vetted, insured cleaner to your home on a schedule you choose, through a written checklist. This page focuses on what that looks like as a recurring, ongoing relationship. For the full picture of prices and services across every frequency, see our house cleaning in West Palm Beach guide.

What maid service costs in West Palm Beach

Maid service is priced the same way as our other cleaning plans: by home size and how often we come. Recurring visits cost less per clean than a one-time visit, which is the main financial argument for choosing a maid service over booking single cleans as needed.

A weekly plan for a 2-bedroom home costs $139 per visit, compared with $185 for a single visit. Over a month of four weekly visits, that is a saving of $184. See the full price table, add-ons and a calculator on our house cleaning prices page.

How our maid service works

• One assigned cleaner. On recurring plans, the same person cleans your home every visit, not a rotating crew.
• Your preferences, saved. Where you keep things, what you want prioritized, and any instructions are kept in your home notes so you never repeat yourself.
• Backup when needed. If your regular cleaner is away, we tell you in advance who is covering and brief them from your notes.
• Flexible scheduling. Skip, reschedule or pause any visit with 24 hours notice, at no charge and with no contract.
• Consistent pricing. Your rate is confirmed when you set up your plan and does not change without notice.

What is included in a maid visit

Every visit follows a written checklist, so the same things get done every time, whether it is your first visit or your fiftieth.

• Kitchen counters, sink and stovetop degreased and polished
• Bathrooms scrubbed, disinfected and mirrors polished
• Dusting of surfaces, shelves and baseboards
• Beds made and floors cleared
• Floors vacuumed and mopped edge to edge
• Trash emptied and liners replaced

The inside of the oven and refrigerator, interior windows and laundry are available as add-ons on any visit. The complete checklist, including what is not included, is on our standard cleaning page, and our recurring cleaning plans page covers the frequency options in more detail.

Choosing a maid service you can trust with a key

A recurring maid service is a different kind of decision than a single clean. You are giving one person ongoing access to your home, so the questions worth asking go beyond price.

• Is the same person assigned to my home? Consistency is the entire point of a maid service. If a company cannot promise this, it is not really offering one.
• Are cleaners background-checked? This matters more here than for a one-time clean, given the ongoing access.
• Is the company insured? Ask for a certificate of insurance.
• What happens if my regular cleaner is out? Look for a company with backup coverage, not a cancelled visit.
• How are keys and codes handled? Ask how access details are stored and who can see them.
• Can I change my schedule without penalty? Life changes, and a good maid service should flex with it.

Maid service across West Palm Beach

A recurring cleaner is especially useful in a city with West Palm Beach's mix of older homes, downtown condos and seasonal residents. Historic-district homes need a consistent hand that knows which floors and finishes need gentler care. Condo residents benefit from a cleaner who already knows the building's access rules instead of relearning them every visit. Seasonal residents get a maid service that keeps a second home from feeling closed-up when they return.
