So far, we’ve implemented a better online booking system, discounts for recurring customers and weekend cleans.

To celebrate our establishment (but hey, it’s way more fun just to call it a birthday, right?) in 2008, we invite you to our Sweet 16 concert featuring songs originally performed by Janelle Monae, Florence & The Machine, Harry Styles, Silk Sonic and more!

Well-Paid Maids isn’t your run-of-the-mill cleaning company. It’s the only certified living-wage cleaning company in the D.C. area. That means cleaners, who are classified as W-2 employees, earn a starting wage of $24 an hour and get benefits, like insurance and 24 paid days off a year.
