GENERAL CLEANING INFORMATION
At Lemon Green Cleaning Services, we understand that choosing a cleaning company for your home or workplace is an important decision. Below, you will find answers to common questions about our eco-friendly cleaning services, natural products, scheduling, home access, pets, service policies, and cleaning options in Montgomery County, Maryland.
If you do not see your question here, please contact us. We will be happy to help you choose the right cleaning service for your needs.
Do I need to tidy up before the cleaning team arrives?
We recommend a light pickup before our arrival (clothes, toys, and personal items). This allows the cleaning professionals to focus on detailed cleaning and deliver the best possible results.
For safety and efficiency, please also secure pets in a comfortable area during the service.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning service?
Not at all. Many of our clients prefer to return to a freshly cleaned home. However, you are always welcome to stay during the service if you prefer. Our team works comfortably either way.
How long does a cleaning service take?
Cleaning time depends on the size, condition, and type of service requested (standard, deep cleaning, move-in/out). We provide time estimates once we review your home details.
Can I request special instructions for my home?
Yes. We encourage all clients to share specific instructions or priorities. This ensures your home is cleaned exactly the way you like it every time.

Do you bring your own cleaning supplies?
Lemon Green uses or approves eco-conscious cleaning products depending on the service agreement. If you prefer specific products in your home, please let us know in advance.

For your safety, we do not store or hold client keys. We recommend using a secure lockbox or a safe entry method you trust.
