Frequently Asked Questions
Don’t let franchise maid services in Lancaster fool you. Advertising themselves as individually focused, they instead clean each house using a generic quality standard established at corporate headquarters. Their cleaners often miss dirty areas because it’s not on their checklist. Garman’s Cleaning, a locally owned and operated cleaning business, gives each client individual attention that’s tailor-made for your home and desired level of cleanliness. We work with each of our cleaners to make sure they are developing proper cleaning methods and maintaining our high standard of cleaning. Like the big corporate cleaning services, we offer insurance, bonding, and protection, so you and your home are protected during our cleaning service visits. But our better training, affordable prices, and individualized customer service lead to you receiving better cleaning and satisfaction.

No, you do not need to be home during our cleanings. In fact, many of our clients love returning to a freshly-cleaned home! Most of our clients give us a key and their alarm code, all of which is secured in between cleanings. Our employees are carefully screened and trained, and will make sure the house is left locked and secured when we leave.
