What is the difference between Merry Maids and other cleaning companies?

Merry Maids® does more than just take care of homes—we take care of people. We give you back the time you deserve so that you can focus on what matters most. We have 40 years of experience in professional home cleaning, which has allowed us to develop advanced, thorough processes that deliver unrivaled, worry-free results. That's our specialty. We clean hundreds of thousands of homes across the United States and Canada, and even in other countries like the United Kingdom and Japan. Our Merry Maids team understands the importance of earning and keeping your trust, which is why we clean thoroughly and efficiently while respecting your space. Our 5-Star Promise represents our commitment to ensuring premium customer satisfaction with every single cleaning.

Are your cleaning products safe for pets and children?

We know you strive to protect your kids’ and pets health and safety, and so do we! Merry Maids® uses environmentally friendly and pet-safe cleaning products.

Are your cleaners insured and bonded?

Yes, all Merry Maids® cleaners are insured and bonded so you can feel secure in your home cleaning choice.

How Often Should I Schedule a Deep Cleaning Service?

For most homeowners, a one-time deep cleaning every 6 to 12 months is usually sufficient. If you aren't receiving regular cleaning on a weekly or bi-monthly basis, you may want to schedule cleanings more frequently.

Can I ask for special requests or request focus on certain areas?

Yes! We are happy to accommodate any special requests you may have. If parts of your home are especially cluttered or untidy, our team can spend their time just on those areas so that you get the best value for your money. Common special requests we receive include: de-griming baseboards, cleaning inside cabinets, removing pet hair from furniture, and de-cluttering closets.

Professional Home Cleaners in Sycamore, IL

Merry Maids of Sycamore

Merry Maids of Sycamore is deeply connected to the local community through its services, involvement, and leadership. Joyce Schirmer purchased the franchise in June 1998 and quickly saw it as a wonderful opportunity to bring her daughter, Jackie Franklin, into the business. Jackie grew to love the Sycamore community so much that when the chance came to move just a few blocks from the office, her family didn’t hesitate to make it home. Over the years, Jackie's sister and both daughters have graduated from Sycamore High School—each working part-time in the family business along the way.

Giving Back to the Community

Merry Maids of Sycamore is proud to be an active part of the local community. As long-time members of the Sycamore Chamber of Commerce, they regularly engage in networking events and support local business development. With over 27 years in business, Jackie and her team have become known for their commitment to giving back—whether it's volunteering at community events, donating to school fundraisers, or rallying together to support a cause while participating in a local 5K.

Merry Maids of Sycamore doesn’t just clean homes—they help lift up the community they love.
