Best of Boston

If you need a cleaning service, odds are you don’t have the time (or desire) to wrestle with a multi-step quote process. My Boston Maids’ user-friendly homepage asks only three questions—number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, and desired appointment frequency—and immediately spits out a flat-rate charge. Select a time, then wait for a crew to carry out its 50-step cleaning protocol. Gleaming countertops and fuzz-free carpets beckon.
