Our Story

Clove is owned and operated by Becca & Tyler Berggren, high school sweethearts from the small town of Serena, Illinois.Life eventually took them to Austin, TX, where Becca worked for an eco-friendly cleaning company while Tyler was hired to lead operations for a home services startup.When it came time to move back to Illinois to be closer to family, Becca wanted to continue providing the same eco-friendly cleaning service she fell in love with during her time in Texas, and conveniently, Tyler now had experience running a local home service business.We are both incredibly proud of what Clove has become. We have a team of amazing employees and are honored to serve so many wonderful families.We guarantee your home has never felt (or smelt 😉) better than after a Clove Clean!

Our Service

***WE DO NOT OFFER ONE-TIME VISITS.***
RECURRING SERVICE EVERY 1-6 WKS ONLY.

Clove is a lifestyle cleaning service. We specialize in detailed whole-home cleaning every 1-6 weeks for busy families. We have a specific cleaning method that we use in every home, every visit.Most cleaning companies would call what we do "deep cleaning", but we just call it "cleaning" — why would you want anything less? 😉

What We Always Do

Use our own tools, supplies, and homemade, eco-friendly solutions: you don't supply a thing!

Your First Clean

Our first visit is called the "initial clean". It's scheduled for 3 hours and includes up to 4 cleaners depending on the size of your home.This is a longer appointment as we're learning your house for the first time and working through any existing dirt/dust buildup. It also puts us in the best shape to maintain your home efficiently during recurring service.

Recurring Service

After completing your initial clean, we’ll follow up to confirm you’re happy with everything and are ready to schedule recurring service.We’ll pick a day of the week (M-F) and time slot (8am, 11am, or 2p) that works for you and we’ll keep showing up every 1-6 weeks until you tell us to stop.Recurring visits are scheduled for 2.5 hours with up to 4 cleaners depending on home size.We do not require a contract. You can cancel service any time. We do charge a $50 cancelation fee for appointments canceled with less than 24 hours notice.

FAQ's

Do I have to be home during my appointment?
No. As long as we have a door code or spare key, we're happy to let ourselves in. We do not hold copies of keys, so if you don't have any keyless entry options, we recommend using a lockbox like this.

Is it a problem if I'm home during my appointment?
Nope. We'll confirm which room you'd like to be in during the appointment and we'll clean that area first so we can stay out of each other's way.

Can my pets be out while you clean?
Yes. We love pets and many of them end up on our Instagram. However, if they're scared of vacuums or don't appreciate strangers wandering around their house, it may be best for them to go in a crate or head to daycare.

Will you use my vacuum?
No. Our cleaning method is designed around everyone on our team having their own vacuum. Our cleaners are trained specifically on how to use every single feature of the exact vacuum model we use.We understand why you might ask — you don't want other people's dirt, allergens, etc. dragged into your home. Our vacuums use a double filtration system, one of which is a HEPA filter. We replace filters regularly and clean/service all of our vacuums regularly. Our team empties their vacuum's dust bin and clears the brush head between every visit.

How do you mop?
We use a cuban mop technique. This is a style of damp mopping using a microfiber towel pushed around with a long handle. It's the next best thing to scrubbing on hands and knees, which we also do when necessary.

Will you use this specific cleaning product that I provide?
Maybe. We make many of our own cleaning solutions from scratch and we're really proud of them. Our entire cleaning method is designed around a specific set of products that our team is trained in. Everything we use is eco-friendly and non-toxic. However, if you have a very specific need that one of our products will not meet, we will consider using a specific product you provide as long as we can find a way to incorporate it into our cleaning process.

How do I pay?
All of our billing is handled electronically via Square. You can pay by card or direct debit from a bank account. We will save your payment method on file and bill you automatically after each clean, or if you'd prefer, we can email + text you an invoice to pay manually after each clean.

Can I tip?
Yes. You can leave cash for our team or add a tip to your online payment. 100% of all tips are split evenly between the cleaners at your appointment. Note: our team is paid well, so while tips are greatly appreciated, they are not relied upon by anyone to earn a living.

Our Pricing

Clove is one of the more expensive cleaning services you'll find. We do things right and pay our team well. If you're looking for discount cleaning, we're not the service for you, and that's okay.

Why We Cost More

• We pay our cleaners more than other cleaning companies.

• We invest in our team with paid training, great wages, annual raises, performance bonuses, health benefits, retirement savings, and paid holidays.

• We invest in quality equipment and eco-friendly products, many of which we make in-house.

• We’re insured, bonded, and pay taxes.

Why We're Worth it

• We’re a small, local, close-knit team. You’ll see the same friendly, familiar faces every visit. We never use subcontractors.

• No one cares more about attention to detail, communication, & caring for your home and your family than us. This isn’t just lip service, we really, truly mean it.

• We’re really good at what we do. You'd think every company could say that, but if you’ve tried other cleaning services, you know that's not the case. We show up on time, every time. We work just as hard and pay as much attention to detail on your 50th cleaning as we do on your 1st.

How Our Pricing Works

Our pricing is a simple, flat rate based on the number of cleaners required for your home.We typically use our entire appointment time (3 hrs for initial clean, 2.5 hrs for recurring visits), but on the occasion we finish a bit early, pricing stays the same. Same goes for the occasions we go a bit over time - same price.Our typical client requires 2 cleaners, pays $245 per recurring visit, and has us clean for them every 3-4 weeks.
