Kingston, Pennsylvania
House cleaning in Kingston.
Kingston sits directly across the Susquehanna from Wilkes-Barre, about twenty miles south of Scranton, reached from downtown Wilkes-Barre by the Market Street or Pierce Street bridges. It is a dense borough of about 13,000 people in barely two square miles, more built up than most of what we cover, with its own Market Street business strip and Wyoming Seminary's campus. It has always been Wyoming Valley, not Lackawanna Valley.
Kingston was largely built up before 1930, and it shows in tight lots and a lot of shared walls — twins and small multi-families packed in near Market Street, with sturdier single-family homes on the streets closer to Wyoming Seminary. Being right on the river, older basements here carry their own damp history from decades of high water before the levees went in. Expect original woodwork, older double-hung windows, and radiator heat that collects dust on sills most newer houses do not have.
Kingston sits right next to Wilkes-Barre, so we treat the two as one run rather than two separate trips. A Kingston house across the bridge slots onto the same afternoon as bookings in the Heights or South Wilkes-Barre. That is what lets us hold the published price this far from Scranton without a mileage add-on.
What we do in Kingston
Same four services, same published prices, same laminated checklist as everywhere else we go.
Regular upkeep
Weekly, every two weeks or monthly on a slot we hold for you. The same cleaner every visit, so she learns your house instead of relearning it. No contract.
Deep cleans
Baseboards, inside the oven and fridge, grout, vents, sills and light fixtures. Always the first visit for a new Kingston client — it's how we set an honest upkeep price.
Move-in and move-out
Empty-property cleaning for tenants chasing a deposit, owners handing over keys, and realtors prepping a listing. The photo set doubles as proof of condition.
Short-term rental turnovers
Fast, checklist-driven turnovers between guests, scheduled around your calendar. We don't no-show, which is most of what a host is actually buying.

Kingston questions
Our house is an older twin near Market Street with a damp basement. Does that affect what you can clean?
We clean the living space, not structural damp, so a musty basement does not stop a booking. If the smell reaches upstairs we may spend a little longer with fans or a deodorising pass in the affected rooms, but that is a normal part of cleaning a lot of the older housing stock along the river in Kingston, not an extra charge.
Is there a travel charge to Kingston?
No. There is no travel charge to Kingston or anywhere else we list, and the price on the pricing page is the price at your door. Kingston is twenty miles south of Scranton, and the way we make that work is scheduling rather than surcharging: visits here are grouped onto shared route days rather than run as one-off trips.
Is the price different because of where I live?
No. Kingston pays the same published rate as every other town on our list. We group visits by route so drive time never lands on one customer's bill.
Real rooms, real jobs
This is the standard.
Two rooms from real jobs. Same room, same visit, before and after. Every room we clean is photographed the same way.
In her words
Not only am I a professional mother, but I’ve always loved cleaning, and it has been the way I show and express love to my family for the past 40 years of my life.The person who will be in your home. Same one, every visit.
Our promise
If a clean is wrong, tell us by the end of the next day.
We come back and do the room again — the whole room, not the one spot you pointed at — and it costs you nothing. You don't have to argue for it or prove anything. One text is enough, and you have until the end of the day after your visit to send it.
The window is there so it means something. An open-ended promise is what everyone else writes, and it's worth about as much as it costs to write. A day and a half is long enough for you to actually walk the house, and short enough that we can still remember the room.
Same routes
We clean these towns too.
Grouping visits onto shared route days is how a Kingston clean stays the published price instead of quietly picking up a travel charge. These are the towns that ride along with it.
