Cleaning Built for Empire Life

Dune sand, round two. Only Glen Arbor rivals Empire for sand tracked in — vacuumed and mopped on every visit, rugs lifted.

Company-ready summers. A Top to Bottom deep clean before the July houseful arrives — every surface hand-washed.

Our Services in Empire

Why Empire Clients Pick Orchard

The most reviews in the area. 4.9 stars across 295+ verified reviews, and Simply the Best of Northern Michigan four years running (2022–2025). We’re not the cheapest — we’re the one your neighbors recommend.

A team you can trust in your home. Every cleaner is a background-checked, drug-tested, professionally trained W-2 employee. Fully bonded and insured. Most clients aren’t home when we clean — door codes and lockboxes are the norm.

Non-toxic, always. Founded on eco-friendly, chemical-free cleaning after our founder’s own children reacted to traditional cleaners. No harsh residue on the surfaces your kids and pets touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you serve all of the Empire area?

Yes — Empire, Glen Arbor, Maple City, Cedar, Honor, and all of Leelanau and Benzie counties.

How often should I have my home cleaned?

Most clients land on bi-weekly. Weekly works for busy families with pets or kids, monthly for low-traffic homes and seasonal cottages. Try one schedule for a month — we’ll adjust if needed.

What products do you use?

Eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaners — we bring everything we need. If you’d prefer a specific product, a fragrance-free line, or something for sensitive surfaces, supply it and we’ll use yours.

How much does it cost?

Recurring 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, background-checked, drug-tested, and trained.

What about my pets?

We love them. Our team’s group chat has more photos of clients’ dogs and cats than houses. Tell us about your pets when you book and we’ll work around them.

Do I need to be home?

No. Most recurring clients share a door code or lockbox combination. We don’t keep house keys or garage door openers — it’s safer for everyone that way.

How soon can you start?

Lead time varies with the season — booking is fastest in winter and tightest May through August. Call us for the next available date.
