A cleaner home without the hassle
Arlington White Glove Cleaners takes house cleaning off your plate. You get your free time back.
This firm is owned by a veteran. Our family runs the day-to-day work.
You have better things to do on your day off than scrub bathrooms. Let us handle the cleaning so you can enjoy your home.
We treat every home like our own. Call (571) 556-5583 any time, day or night.
What we do
Set house cleaning keeps your home fresh week to week. It suits flats, condos, town homes, and stand-alone homes.
Deep cleans get the grime set visits miss. That means baseboards, grout, and the insides of machines.
We also do move-in and move-out cleans for Arlington's fast rental trade. And Airbnb flips that keep guests glad and your stars high.
Local firms can count on our office cleaning. We also do green cleans for homes with kids, pets, or people who can't stand strong smells.

What house cleaning costs in Arlington
Cleaning in Arlington costs more than in most of the country. That's just how Northern Virginia is.
But the range is wide. Knowing what drives the price helps you spot a fair quote and a bad one.
A set clean for a plain flat or town house here tends to run a few hundred per visit.
A deep clean costs quite a bit more. It often runs 50 to 100 percent more than a set visit, since it takes twice as long.
Move-in and move-out cleaning is priced like a deep clean or higher. The home is empty, so every surface gets attention.
What moves your price up or down:
- Size and layout. A studio in Pentagon City costs less than a four-bedroom townhome in Shirlington. Bathrooms add more time than bedrooms do.
- Condition. A well-kept home on a bi-weekly plan is quick. A first clean after six months without one is a different job, so be honest about the state of things.
- Pets. Dogs and cats add hair, dander, and paw prints, which adds time. An honest company tells you that up front instead of padding the quote later.
- Frequency. Weekly service costs less per visit than monthly, because there is less buildup between visits. For most Arlington homes, bi-weekly is the sweet spot.
- Add-ons. Inside the oven, inside the fridge, interior windows, laundry and folding are usually priced separately. Ask what's included before you book.
We quote based on your actual home, not a flat guess. Send the bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, and cleaning type, and you'll get a real number.
What's actually included: the room-by-room checklist
"House cleaning" means one thing to us and one thing to them. Here is what our set visit covers.
Kitchen: we wipe the tops and the splash guard. We scour the sink, clean the stove, wipe the microwave in and out, and spot-clean the shelf fronts.
Trash emptied and relined. Floors swept and mopped.
Bathrooms: in each bath we scour the bowl in and out. We scour the tub and shower too.
Soap scum doesn't get a vote. Sinks and counters wiped.
Mirrors polished with no streaks. Floors swept and mopped.
Trash emptied. Fresh towels hung if you leave them out.
Bedrooms and dens: we dust each shelf, sill, and baseboard we can reach, plus each light we can safely get to. We spot-clean glass and mirrors.
Floors vacuumed and mopped. Beds made with fresh linens if you leave them out, and the trash gets emptied.
Throughout: we wipe each high-touch spot: knobs, switches, and pulls. We hunt down each web.
We tidy up so the place looks put together, not just clean.
What deep cleaning adds
A regular visit keeps things up. A deep clean starts fresh.
On top of a set clean, a deep clean fights months of grime. That means baseboards scrubbed top to base and grout lines picked clean.
It also hits sill tracks, fans and vents, and lights we take down to wash. We wipe the shelf insides, dust each blind slat, and clean behind and under each machine.
Most homes need a deep clean once or twice a year. Or as the first visit before starting regular service.
If it's been a while, no judgment. That's what deep cleans are for.
Your first visit vs. every visit after
The first visit takes more time. We're still learning your home and getting it to a clean base.
After that, set visits run quick and cost less each time. We keep the clean up instead of saving it.
Start with a deep clean if it's been more than a couple of months. It sets a standard we can maintain, so your regular price stays a maintenance price.
Built for Arlington's buildings
Cleaning in Arlington is not like cleaning in the suburbs. A company that doesn't know the buildings will waste your time.
We work across Arlington every day. Here is how we handle the building types you see most.
Towers in Ballston, Rosslyn, and Pentagon City. We know the drill: sign in with the desk, book the freight lift, and get your park pass stamped.
Lots of blocks make pros sign in and use the freight lift at set times.
Tell us your block. Odds are we've worked there.
Town homes in Shirlington, Aurora Highlands, and Glencarlyn: lots of floors and lots of stairs. That means lots of trips up and down.
We know the old plan with the kitchen three flights from the laundry. We plan for it.
Garden flats in Buckingham and on Columbia Pike: old blocks with their own quirks. Small baths, old tile that needs a soft touch, and parking that is never where you'd think.
The rental churn: homes here turn over fast. Amazon HQ2, the Pentagon, and the defense firms keep folks on the move.
Our move cleans are built for this: deep cleans of bare homes that please picky landlords. We work around your lease dates.
Move-in and move-out cleaning
Deposits in Arlington are real money, often one full month's rent. A good move-out clean guards it.
We clean empty homes top to bottom. We wipe inside each drawer and shelf, clean each machine inside and out, and scour the baths.
We buff the floors and wipe each wall and sill, so the walk-through goes smooth.
For move-ins, we clean before your chairs and beds show up. That is the one time each nook can be reached.
Book between your key handoff and moving day. If your landlord or property manager has a checklist, send it to us and we'll work to it.
How to choose a cleaning company
You're handing someone the keys to your home. Choose carefully.
Ask about insurance and bonding. Don't just ask if we are insured, ask what it covers.
A real firm holds cover that guards your goods. If they can't say what it guards, they don't have it.
Ask who shows up. Is it the same team every visit, or whoever is free?
Consistency matters: a team that knows your home cleans it better and faster. Ask how they cover sick days and vacations.
Ask what you get, in black and white. One firm's "deep clean" is the next firm's "set clean".
Get the checklist. If they can't produce one, their quality control is vibes.
Ask about supplies. Do they bring everything, or do you stock products?
We bring it all, including the vacuum. You shouldn't have to keep a cleaning closet for someone else's job.
Red flags: cash only and no clean list.
A no-show on the quote, or no proof of insurance on ask.
Prices that seem too good are a flag. In Arlington, a $60 whole-house clean means corners are being cut somewhere.
All their reviews showed up in the same week. That's a flag.
Mistakes to avoid
Hiring on price alone. The cheapest quote in Arlington tends to mean the quickest visit.
Rushed teams skip bathrooms, streak mirrors, and vacuum around things instead of under them. You end up re-cleaning or re-hiring.
The most expensive isn't the best by default. Look for the company in the middle with the clearest checklist.
Not clarifying what's included. "Clean the house" might mean baseboards to you, and not to them.
The list talk takes five short minutes. It stops each fight before it starts.
Skipping the walkthrough. Walk us through your home on the first visit and point out what matters: the stove, the grout, the pet hair.
A ten-minute walk-through beats ten visits of hoping.
Pre-cleaning before we arrive: pick up clutter so we can reach surfaces. That is plenty.
Don't scrub the bathroom before we get there. You're paying us to clean, so tidying is enough.
Waiting till you can't stand it. The longer you wait, the harder and dearer each visit gets.
Weekly cleaning costs less per visit. Last-minute cleans cost more.
Green cleaning, plainly explained
"Green cleaning" gets used loosely. Here is what it means with us.
We use plant-made, low-harm goods for day-to-day cleaning, so no harsh fumes hang in your home. Our microfiber rig cleans well with less soap.
If dust or fumes set off sneezes or wheezes in your home, ask for green goods when you book. No lecture, no upsell, just a soft clean.
One honest note: some jobs need stronger products. Mold in shower grout does not respond to gentle cleaners.
We'll tell you when that's the case and get your okay first.
