Cleaning is our craft.
The Luxe Standard
is our proof.
Every visit follows our 47-point detail checklist — the same one, every time, in every home. Not a claim. A documented standard that holds every clean to the same exceptional level.
“Our cleaning standard isn't a promise. It's a procedure — written down, followed every time, checked before we leave.”
— The Luxe Maids of Illinois

Final walkthrough completed by team lead before departure
The standard also means knowing what we won't rush.
A checklist is only as good as the team that follows it. Every Luxe Maids visit includes a final walkthrough by your team lead before we leave your home. If anything is missed or falls short, we catch it — before you do.
And if something does slip through: our White-Glove Resolution Promise means we return within 48 hours, same team lead, at no charge to you.
The White-Glove Resolution Promise
If your home isn't Luxe Clean after our visit, we return within 48 hours — free of charge, with the same team lead. You hear back from us within 2 hours of any concern. This is not our marketing. It is our standard.
Questions about The Luxe Standard
Is the checklist really followed on every visit?
Yes. The Luxe Standard is not a marketing document — it's the procedure our team follows on every clean. Each team lead completes a final walkthrough before leaving your home to confirm every point was covered.
Does deep cleaning follow a different checklist?
Deep cleaning includes everything in the standard 47-point checklist plus extended interior work — inside cabinets, inside the refrigerator, interior windows, and detailed attention to areas that collect buildup over time. We'll walk you through exactly what's included when you request your quote.
What if my home has a specific finish or material I'm concerned about?
We use your preferred cleaning products and follow your surface care guidelines. If you have hardwood floors, marble countertops, or custom cabinetry that requires specific products, just let us know and we work to your specifications — not ours.
What happens if something is missed?
Our White-Glove Resolution Promise covers it: we return within 48 hours, same team lead, at no charge. You can reach us within 2 hours of any concern. We've maintained a 95% client retention rate because we take this seriously — not because issues never happen, but because we respond to them immediately.
