Why Springfield Homeowners Choose MaidPro

49-Point Checklist — Every Room, Every Visit

MaidPro cleans every room on every visit using a 49-Point Checklist. The Cleaning Authority uses a "Detail-Clean Rotating System" that only deep cleans certain rooms on a rotating schedule — meaning some rooms get less attention on any given visit.

Locally Owned & Operated

Your local MaidPro is independently owned by someone who lives in your community. The Cleaning Authority is a corporate franchise with less personal accountability for your satisfaction.

PRO Clean Promise

Not satisfied? Contact us within 24 hours and we'll re-clean at no additional cost. The Cleaning Authority's guarantee requires calling by the next day and may vary by franchise location.

Common Questions

How does MaidPro compare to The Cleaning Authority?

The biggest difference is the cleaning approach. MaidPro's 49-Point Checklist cleans every room thoroughly on every visit. The Cleaning Authority uses a "Detail-Clean Rotating System" that only deep cleans certain rooms on a rotating schedule — so some rooms may only get surface-level attention on any given visit.

Is MaidPro more expensive than The Cleaning Authority?

Pricing is comparable and depends on your home size and cleaning frequency. MaidPro provides over-the-phone estimates — no in-home visit required. Plus, new customers save $75 on their first clean.

What is the Detail-Clean Rotating System?

The Cleaning Authority's system rotates which rooms receive a deep clean on each visit. While this means every room eventually gets detailed attention, it also means on any given visit, some rooms only receive surface-level cleaning. MaidPro's 49-Point Checklist avoids this by covering every room, every time.

Will I get the same cleaning team every visit?

Yes. MaidPro assigns a consistent team to your home so they learn your preferences and your space. You won't have to re-explain what you need each visit.

What if I'm not happy with my clean?

Our PRO Clean Promise means we'll come back and re-clean any areas you're not satisfied with at no additional cost. Just contact us within 24 hours of your service.

Is MaidPro bonded and insured?

Yes. Every MaidPro location is fully bonded and insured, and every team member passes a thorough background check before entering your home.
