Our most human service
Cleaning day is
the day she looks forward to.

My mom actually looks forward to cleaning day now. That tells me everything I need to know.
— Daughter of a regular client, Delaware OHA familiar face at the door, most visits. She sits down, asks how you're feeling, plays a round of cards. Then she cleans.
We personally match every elder client with a familiar tech — someone who notices when something feels off, and calls your family if it does. We partner with family members to keep your loved one's interests, comfort, and safety a top priority, with a fluid and consistent line of communication. Because your parent deserves more than a clean house.

5.0 / 5 rating
★★★★★The Modern Maid offers customizable cleaning plans and a la carte options. We met with them to get a quote and within a week they were there to do a deep clean of our home. The glass patio door was so clean that I thought it was open! They were extremely nice and pet friendly, thorough and easy to work with. Highly recommend.
★★★★★I appreciate Amanda and her crew squeezing me in at the last minute when my other cleaner canceled the day before my whole family was coming from England for my wedding! I'm super picky and asked them to detail the baseboards, and I was pleasantly surprised when I came home. They even sent me a gift card for our wedding!
★★★★★Bailey was phenomenal. Everything was left pristine. Highly recommend.
★★★★★The Modern Maid service is wonderful. We highly recommend them. They are very professional and we appreciate their thoroughness each time they are here. Amanda is the nicest, most sincere lady to work with. Thank you ladies!
★★★★★As a local real estate agent I recommend many of my clients to Modern Maid before listing their home or before moving into their new home. Amanda and her team are simply amazing!
★★★★★Amanda and her staff do a wonderful job and always go the extra mile to make sure the job is done right. We have used Modern Maid for our residential and commercial cleaning and could not be happier.
