A Ten-Year-Old Maryland Business, Still in Its Founder’s Hands

Howard County residents tend to research before they hire, so here are the facts. Quick Cleaning Services began in 2016 in Gaithersburg. Its founder, Nathalia Medeiros, owns and runs it. It is a women-owned company with its own employees.

The Howard County round is one of four the company operates, alongside Montgomery, Frederick and Carroll counties and Washington, D.C. The same teams work it week after week.

As for safeguards, there are three. The company is insured and bonded. Its cleaners are background checked before they are assigned. And any shortfall reported inside 24 hours is corrected on a return visit at no cost. The company in more detail.

Six Facts for People Who Check Before They Hire

No slogans. These are the things that can be verified, and we would encourage you to verify them.

Documents Sent Before You Book

The cover exists and the paperwork can be sent. A company that cannot do the same should give you pause.

Vetting Is Policy, Not an Add-On

They are completed for every cleaner before a first assignment. This is policy, not an upgrade.

24 Hours to Report, Free to Fix

A specific, time-limited guarantee that is easy to use: say what was missed, and it is redone.

Townhouse and Farmhouse, Planned Separately

A townhouse in Columbia and a farmhouse near Lisbon are quoted and cleaned on their own merits.

A Record You Can Read

Ten years is long enough to have a track record, and the reviews on Google are part of it.

Six Questions, Answered Without Hedging

Eleven: Columbia, Ellicott City, Clarksville, Fulton, Elkridge, Savage, Highland, Marriottsville, Lisbon, Woodbine and Laurel. If you are between two of them, you are almost certainly covered.

No. Homes out toward Lisbon and Woodbine are often larger, which raises the price, but the location itself adds nothing. There is no mileage charge anywhere on the route.

Yes, and nothing about the visit changes. Tell us if there is anything you prefer not to go down the drains and the team will follow it. Landlords should know that the county’s rental checklist has specific requirements for well and septic properties, which are theirs to meet.

That is how most Howard County visits happen. Agree how the team gets in, by key, code or garage, and you return to a finished house. Anything unexpected is reported to you the same day.

If you live in either town, read its page for local detail. For the other nine communities, everything relevant is here.

Both. Standard cleaning and deep cleaning are single visits with no commitment. Plans are there if you want them.

Howard County Reference

What to Know About House Cleaning in Howard County, MD

Quick Cleaning Services LLC offers house cleaning in Howard County, MD in eleven communities, including Columbia, Ellicott City, Clarksville, Elkridge and Laurel. The company was founded in Gaithersburg in 2016 and quotes every job as a flat rate per visit. For the bigger seasonal jobs, the guide on how often to deep clean a home helps set the calendar.

Why does Howard County housing vary so much?

Three different histories. Columbia was planned and built in phases from the 1960s onward. Ellicott City grew up around a mill centuries earlier. Western Howard stayed agricultural, with houses on large lots. A cleaning company working the whole county meets a townhouse, a stone cottage and a farmhouse in the same week, and has to price and clean each one for what it is.

What suits a commuter household in Howard County?

A plan that does not need supervising. With the county sitting between Baltimore and Washington, many homes are empty all day. Regular cleaning on a fixed day, with agreed access, means the work is done before anyone is back.

What does Howard County require of a rental on well water?

Testing. The county’s new rental housing inspection checklist says that if a property gets its drinking water from a well, the water must be tested for potability, naming nitrates, coliforms and bacteria, and that a recent report showing the water is free from contamination must be given to the inspector before the license is approved.

And a rental on a septic system?

Documentation again. The same checklist asks for documentation indicating the septic system was pumped within the last three years. Both rules matter mostly in the western part of the county, where public water and sewer do not reach every property. Neither is cleaning work.

Does Howard County limit how many people can occupy a bedroom?

Yes, by floor area. The checklist states that every bedroom occupied by one person shall contain at least 70 square feet of floor area, and every bedroom occupied by more than one person at least 50 square feet for each occupant. It sets minimum sizes for living and dining rooms by number of occupants as well.

Where does cleaning come into a Howard County rental inspection?

Under the checklist’s heading on clean and sanitary condition, which says the living unit must be clean and sanitary when the inspector arrives. That is the one item on the list a cleaning company can deliver, through move-out cleaning before the appointment.

Is sales tax charged on cleaning in Howard County?

On commercial cleaning, yes. The Comptroller of Maryland taxes cleaning of commercial and industrial buildings at 6 percent and excludes buildings used as a permanent private residence. To have a home or an office quoted, use the estimate form.
