Ellsworth’s most-reviewed residential cleaning service
Your weekend shouldn’t be spent cleaning. It should be spent on Ellsworth Lake, on the Chain of Lakes, or anywhere outdoors. Orchard Cleaning Services has kept Ellsworth homes spotless since 2012. We’re the highest-rated cleaning company in northern Michigan, with 4.9 stars across 295+ verified reviews on Birdeye, SoTellUs, and Google — and the only cleaning service voted Simply the Best four years running.
We focus on recurring residential cleaning — weekly, biweekly, and monthly visits to homes throughout Antrim County. The same crew when possible, so your cleaners learn your home, your routine, and your priorities. No rotating strangers, no surprise pricing, no long contracts.
We clean to the highest standards.
Recurring cleaning that fits Ellsworth life
Weekly cleaning — for busy households with kids, pets, or anyone who’d rather come home to a fresh house every Friday.
Biweekly cleaning — our most popular schedule. Your home stays consistently clean without paying for what you don’t need.
Monthly cleaning — a thorough reset every four weeks, ideal for couples or single-person households who keep up day-to-day but want a deeper professional clean.
Deep cleaning — twice-yearly resets that hit the spots a regular clean skips: baseboards, vent covers, inside the oven, behind the fridge, ceiling fans, window tracks. New customers usually start with a deep clean before going onto a recurring schedule.
Move-in / move-out cleaning — buying or selling a home in Antrim County? We deep-clean every surface so the new owners walk into a place that smells, looks, and feels brand new.
We also offer make-ready cleaning for vacation rentals and small office cleaning on request — ask when you call.
What it costs
Most recurring cleans for a typical Ellsworth home run $168 to $296 per visit depending on square footage, frequency, and condition. We quote every job before we start, so you’ll know the price up front. No hidden fees, no surcharges, no surprises on the invoice.

Recognition and community
Orchard Cleaning Services has been voted Simply the Best — Best Cleaning Service in northern Michigan four years running: 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. We’re proud of every one of those, but we’re prouder of what we get to do because of them.
We’re a proud partner of Cleaning for a Reason, a national nonprofit that provides free home cleaning to people undergoing cancer treatment. If you or someone you love is in treatment in northern Michigan, you can request a free clean through cleaningforareason.org — we’re one of the local providers.
We also partner with Habitat for Humanity of Northern Michigan. Every home Habitat builds in our area gets a top-to-bottom clean from our team before the keys are handed to the new homeowners. It’s our way of welcoming a family into the home they worked so hard for.
Cleaning is what we do. Doing it for the right reasons is why we’re still here.
What you can expect
When you book with us, you’ll get a quote within an hour during business hours. We’ll send a checklist of what’s included so there are no surprises. On cleaning day, the team arrives in uniform with their own supplies and products. After the clean, you’ll get a quick text summary letting you know we’ve finished.
Frequently asked questions
Do you serve all of Antrim County? Yes. We cover Ellsworth, Central Lake, Bellaire, Alden, Elk Rapids, Kewadin, and Mancelona.
How often should I have my home cleaned? Most clients land on biweekly. Weekly works for busy families with pets or kids, monthly for low-traffic homes. Try one schedule for a month — we’ll adjust if needed.
What products do you use? Plant-based, non-toxic cleaners. We bring everything we need. If there’s a specific product you’d like us to use instead — a particular brand, a fragrance-free line, anything for sensitive surfaces — just supply it and we’ll use yours.
How much does it cost? Recurring residential cleans run $168–$296 per visit depending on size, frequency, and condition. We give you an exact quote before we start.
Are you insured? Yes — fully bonded and insured. Every cleaner is a W-2 employee (not a contractor), background-checked, and trained.
What about my pets? We love them. Our team’s group chat has more photos of clients’ dogs and cats than houses. Let us know about pets when you book — what they’re called, whether they’re shy, whether the door needs to stay closed — and we’ll work around them.
Do I need to be home? No. Most of our recurring clients share a door code or lockbox combination so we can clean while they’re at work. We don’t keep house keys or garage door openers — it’s safer for everyone that way.
How soon can you start? Our lead time varies with the season — booking is fastest in winter and tightest May through August. Call us and we’ll tell you the next available date for your area.
What’s your cancellation policy? We ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to skip or reschedule a recurring clean. Anything less and we may have to charge for the slot, since we’ve already committed the crew’s time.
Should I tip? Tipping is appreciated but never expected. If you’d like to leave something for the crew, hand it directly to them, leave it on the kitchen counter with a note, or ask us to add it to your invoice.
Are you the cheapest option? No. We’re the most-reviewed and the highest-rated, voted Simply the Best four years running. There are cheaper services in the area; there are not better ones.
