Are your cleaning products safe for pets and children?

Are your cleaners insured and bonded?

Yes, all Merry Maids® cleaners are insured and bonded so you can feel secure in your home cleaning choice.

How often should I schedule a deep cleaning service?

For most homeowners, a one-time deep cleaning every 6 to 12 months is usually sufficient. If you aren't receiving regular cleaning on a weekly or bi-monthly basis, you may want to schedule cleanings more frequently.

Can I ask for special requests or request focus on certain areas?

Yes! We are happy to accommodate any special requests you may have. If parts of your home are especially cluttered or untidy, our team can spend their time just on those areas so that you get the best value for your money. Common special requests we receive include: de-griming baseboards, cleaning inside cabinets, removing pet hair from furniture, and de-cluttering closets.

Professional Home Cleaners in St. Augustine, FL

Our Story: Proudly Serving the Communities We Call Home

In 1989, Bill and CJ Eastman founded Merry Maids of Orlando, Seminole County, and St Augustine with a simple but powerful mission: to bring dependable, high-quality home cleaning services to families just like theirs. As longtime residents of Central Florida, we understood firsthand the importance of trust when inviting someone into your home.

Our story began when CJ, pregnant with our youngest child and caring for my elderly grandmother, struggled to find a reliable cleaning service we could count on. Seeing the need for trustworthy, professional help right here in our own community inspired them to purchase a Merry Maids franchise — and to build a business based on care, reliability, and connection.

Bill now works alongside their two daughters, Sylvia and Grace, to continue serving the families of Orlando, Seminole County, and St. Augustine. Our family’s commitment to providing exceptional cleaning services remains at the heart of everything we do — a legacy of care that keeps our local community’s needs at the forefront.

Community Involvement: Giving Back to the Communities We Serve

Bill and his daughters, Sylvia and Grace, are deeply involved in a variety of local organizations and causes, helping to improve the lives of those around them.

We are proud to support initiatives such as:

Cleaning for a Reason: Providing free cleaning services for individuals battling cancer, allowing them to focus on healing while we handle the cleaning.
Healthy Kids Running Series: Encouraging fitness and healthy living among children by supporting and organizing youth running programs.
Trunk or Treat: Hosting fun and safe Halloween events at local daycare centers, providing a family-friendly way for children to enjoy the holiday.
The Humane Society: Supporting the welfare of animals in our community through donations and volunteer efforts to help pets find loving homes.

These organizations and initiatives are just a few examples of how we give back to the community. Whether it’s through volunteering our time, offering our services, or supporting local events, we are committed to improving the lives of our neighbors.
