The glass patio door was so clean I thought it was open. Extremely nice, pet-friendly, thorough and easy to work with.

Amanda squeezed me in last-minute when my other cleaner canceled the day before my whole family came in from England for my wedding.

★★★★★

They use eco-friendly products, which matters with my allergies. The place smells clean without that harsh chemical vibe.

★★★★★

23 years in Delaware — this team knows what they're doing. I've tried others. Nobody comes close.

★★★★★

Customizable plans and a la carte options. Every single visit is exactly what I'd hoped for.

★★★★★

I've had cleaners who do the bare minimum and disappear. Amanda's team actually cares — they leave notes if something looked off, like a leaky faucet they noticed. That's the difference.

My mom actually looks forward to cleaning day now. That tells me everything I need to know.

— Daughter of a regular client, Delaware OH
Our most human service

Cleaning day is
the day she looks forward to.

The same face at the door, every week. She sits down, asks how you're feeling, plays a round of cards. Then she cleans.

Amanda personally matches every elder client with one cleaner — the same person, every visit. Someone who notices when something feels off, and calls your family if it does. Because your parent deserves more than a clean house. They deserve someone who genuinely shows up for them.

Why we're different

Local means something here.

Two decades of showing up, learning your home, and genuinely caring about this community — not a franchise playbook from another state.

Years in Delaware

23 years — Amanda started this business in 2003. She knows this community, its streets, its families.

National franchises average 3–5 years before local ownership turns over.

Consistent team

Same cleaner, every visit — they learn your home, your preferences, your pets. Zero re-explaining.

Franchise model relies on whoever's available that day.

Upfront pricing

Online quote in 2 minutes — flat rates, no hidden fees. You know the number before we book.

Many franchises quote on-site — price can change after booking.

Satisfaction guarantee

100% guarantee — not satisfied within 24 hours? We return, no charge, no runaround.

Corporate guarantee often requires contacting a call center to process a return visit.

Meet the team

Every cleaner earns their way in

Amanda founded The Modern Maid in 2003 with determination and a trunk full of supplies. Every person on her team meets the same standard she started with: thorough, eco-first, and people-first.

I wouldn't send someone into your home that I wouldn't invite into mine.

— Amanda Matthews-Owens, Founder

Background check

Every candidate is fully screened before the conversation goes any further — no exceptions.

Hands-on training

Eco-first techniques, elder care protocols, and The Modern Maid standard — trained in person, not via video.

Supervised trial run

No one enters a client's home alone until they've completed a supervised visit that meets Amanda's personal standard.

The Modern Maid mascot
Since 2003

Meet the face behind 23 years of clean.

She's been on every bucket, every truck, every uniform since Amanda started The Modern Maid with nothing but determination and a trunk full of supplies. The retro maid isn't just branding — she's the promise behind every visit.

How do I get a price for my home?

Use our online form for an instant quote based on home size and service type. No phone call required.

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

Most clients aren't — that's the whole point. Arrange a key dropoff and come back to a spotless house.

What areas do you serve?

Do you offer one-time cleanings?

Yes. No recurring commitment required. Book a single visit for spring cleaning, before a big event, or any time you need a reset.

Are your cleaners background-checked?

Every single one. Amanda personally oversees our hiring process — thorough screening, training, and insurance coverage before anyone enters your home.
