Fully Insured

Full liability coverage protects you and your property. Clean with complete peace of mind.

Background Checked

Every cleaner passes comprehensive background screening. Only 1 in 50 applicants joins our team.

Reliable Service

We never cancel. Our backup team protocol ensures your cleaning happens, no matter what.

The 50-Point Cleaning Protocol

Unlike typical house cleaning services, Metla House Cleaning follows a comprehensive 50-point cleaning protocol developed from years of experience managing luxury vacation properties. This systematic approach ensures no detail is overlooked, from the obvious areas to the often-forgotten spots that accumulate dust and grime.

Our checklist covers everything: light switches, door handles, baseboards, ceiling fans, behind toilets, under furniture edges, inside microwave doors, refrigerator handles, and dozens of other touch points that standard cleaners miss. This attention to detail is what transforms a clean home into a truly pristine living environment.

Trained Cleaning Professionals

Every Metla cleaner undergoes extensive training in our proprietary methods, eco-friendly product usage, and customer service standards. We don't just hire cleaners—we develop cleaning professionals who take pride in their craft. Our rigorous selection process means you're getting the top 2% of cleaning talent in San Diego.

We also invest in ongoing training, ensuring our team stays current with the latest cleaning techniques, products, and equipment. Whether it's properly caring for marble countertops, treating hardwood floors, or sanitizing high-touch surfaces, our cleaners have the expertise to handle any challenge your home presents.

House Cleaning Service Areas

We proudly serve homes throughout San Diego County, from the coastal communities of La Jolla and Coronado to the inland neighborhoods of Poway and Rancho Bernardo.

Local Expertise, Premium Service

San Diego's diverse neighborhoods each have their own character—and their own cleaning challenges. The salt air in La Jolla and Pacific Beach requires different care than the inland dust of Poway and Rancho Bernardo. The high-rise living of Downtown demands different logistics than single-family homes in Del Mar. Our team understands these nuances because we're locals who've cleaned hundreds of homes across every community we serve.

Whether you're in a beachfront condo in Coronado, a historic home in Mission Hills, or a modern townhouse in Carmel Valley, we bring the same commitment to excellence. Our cleaners are familiar with building access procedures, parking requirements, and the specific needs of different property types throughout San Diego County.

How often should I have my house professionally cleaned?

Can I leave my house while the cleaners are working?

Absolutely! Many of our clients provide access through lockboxes, smart locks, or doormen so they don't need to be present. Our insured and background-checked cleaners can work independently while you're at work, running errands, or simply relaxing elsewhere. We'll update you when we arrive and send a completion notification when finished.

What's the difference between standard cleaning and deep cleaning?

Standard cleaning maintains your home's cleanliness with regular surface cleaning. Deep cleaning is a comprehensive, intensive service that addresses areas often missed—inside appliances, behind furniture, baseboards, light fixtures, and detailed sanitization. We recommend deep cleaning for first-time clients or homes that haven't been professionally cleaned recently.
