Cleaning in Norwich, CT
Prime Harmony Cleaning Service provides cleaning for homeowners in Norwich and nearby towns like New London, Groton, Colchester. Free, no-pressure estimates.
Prime Harmony Cleaning Service covers six kinds of cleaning across Norwich, CT and New London County: regular house cleaning, deep cleaning, move in and move out cleaning, Airbnb and vacation rental changeovers, rental property cleaning for landlords, and office and commercial cleaning. They split into two very different jobs, and knowing which one you have is what makes the quote useful.
What is the difference between the cleaning services?
Lived in property and empty property. In a lived in home the work happens around furniture, belongings and people, so it is about holding a standard on a repeating visit.
In an empty property everything is opened: cabinets, closets, the oven, the fridge, window tracks and the floor under where the furniture used to be. That is why an empty unit takes longer than the same address lived in, and why the two are never priced the same way.
Which cleaning service do I actually need?
Answer three questions. Is anybody living or working there right now? Is there a date somebody else set, like a lease handover or a guest arriving? And is this a one time reset or something you want to keep happening?
A living household with no deadline wants a regular visit. A household with years of build up wants a deep clean first. A handover date means a move out or a between tenants clean. A guest arriving means a changeover, and those have the tightest clock in the trade.
How much cleaning do most homes need?
Head count and traffic decide it, not floor area. A quiet two bedroom often runs well on a visit every other week. A family house with young kids or pets usually wants weekly, because two weeks is long enough for the kitchen floor and the bathrooms to get away from you.
Anywhere the public walks in, which is most commercial spaces, is judged on its restrooms and needs the frequency those restrooms demand. Start there and build the rest around it.
What does cleaning not cover?
Cleaning is not repair and it is not hauling, and saying so early saves a bad afternoon. Failed grout gets regrouted. Silicone that has gone black gets replaced. A shower door etched by years of hard water can be cleaned and the etching stays.
We also do not take away furniture, mattresses or appliances, because the transfer stations around this county are set up for residents, some ask for proof of address and some take cash or check only. We will always tell you which side of that line your job sits on.
What happens when you ask for a quote
You tell us the town, the room and bathroom count, whether the property is occupied or empty, and any date it has to be finished by. We come back with what the job includes and what it costs before anything is booked.
Nothing is charged and nothing is scheduled until you have seen that and agreed to it. Prime Harmony Cleaning Service is family owned, woman owned and insured, and our hours are Monday to Friday 7:00 am to 6:00 pm and Saturday morning.

FAQ
Cleaning, common questions
Should a house cleaner be insured?
Yes, and you should ask before anyone starts. A cleaner works inside your home or your business, usually while nobody is there, so insurance is what stands behind an accident. Prime Harmony Cleaning Service is insured. Connecticut does not set a state rule requiring it of a cleaning company, which is exactly why the question is on you to ask, and any straight answer takes one word.
What decides the price of a house cleaning?
Four things, in order. Bathroom count, because bathrooms are the slowest rooms in any house. Bedroom count, which stands in for how much floor and surface there is. Condition, which is how far behind the property has got. And whether it is a repeating visit or a one time job. Add ons like inside the oven or inside the fridge sit on top. We quote from all of that, never from square footage alone.
What is the difference between a regular clean and a deep clean?
A regular clean holds a house where it is. A deep clean moves it back to a starting point. The regular list is surfaces, bathrooms, floors and dusting. The deep list adds the build up: grout, hard water on glass, inside the oven and fridge, inside cabinets, baseboards, door frames, vents and the high edges. Look at a shower door and a baseboard and you will know which one you need.
What is the difference between a cleaning company and hiring someone privately?
Cover and paperwork, mostly. A company carries its own insurance, agrees a written scope before it starts, and is accountable to that scope rather than to a friendly arrangement. A private hire is often cheaper and works well until somebody is sick, something breaks, or the two of you turn out to have meant different things by clean. Neither is wrong. Just know which one you are buying.
What should I do before the cleaner arrives?
Put away anything you would not want moved, and clear the counters and floors of the things that are not really dirt. Every minute spent tidying is a minute not spent cleaning, and you can tidy faster than we can guess where your things live. Tell us anything that is off limits. Then leave the door, the key or the code arrangement we agreed, and go about your day.
How far in advance should I book a cleaning?
For a one time clean, a week or two of notice gives you a real choice of slots. For a handover date, a guest arrival or a lease gap, call as soon as you know the date, because those jobs cannot move and the date is the whole job. For a repeating visit the first one takes the longest to place, and after that the slot is yours and stays yours.
