Before we arrive
To help our team focus on cleaning, please take a few minutes to clear off beds, floors, and countertops before your appointment.
We're happy to straighten as we go, but heavy clutter (piles of laundry, toys, or belongings on surfaces) takes time away from the deeper cleaning your home deserves.

FAQ
Standard Cleaning Questions
What is included in a standard cleaning?
Our standard cleaning covers every essential area of your home: dusting furniture and surfaces, vacuuming and mopping floors, sanitizing bathrooms, wiping kitchen counters and appliance exteriors, making beds, and emptying trash. See the full room-by-room checklist on this page.
How long does a standard cleaning take?
Most Ocala homes take 1.5 to 3 hours depending on size and condition. Recurring visits usually go faster than the first clean because the home stays maintained between visits.
How often should I schedule standard cleaning?
Most of our Marion County clients choose bi-weekly service. Weekly works best for busy households with kids or pets, and monthly suits smaller or low-traffic homes. We will recommend a schedule during your free quote.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
No. Most clients are at work or out enjoying their day and provide a door code or lockbox. Every Palma team member is background-checked, and we are licensed and insured.
What if my home has not been cleaned in a while?
We recommend starting with a deep cleaning to reset the home, then switching to standard cleaning to keep it that way. It is the most cost-effective path for homes that need extra attention on the first visit.
How much does standard cleaning cost in Ocala?
House cleaning in Ocala typically ranges from $120 to $300 depending on home size and condition. Recurring service costs less per visit than one-time cleans. Call (352) 764-4747 or request a free quote for an exact price.
