Built Around a Simple Idea: DC Deserves Better
Washington, DC is a city of high expectations. The people who live here are professionals, parents, diplomats, entrepreneurs — they have demanding lives and demanding standards. For a long time, the residential cleaning industry in this city wasn't keeping up.
Services were inconsistent. Cleaners were unreliable. Quality dropped after the first visit. Customers found themselves managing the cleaning company more than actually benefiting from it.
Solaris was founded to fix that. We built a cleaning company the way we'd want one run if we were the customer — with trained professionals, clear communication, consistent teams, and a standard that doesn't slip over time.
A DC Team That Knows DC Homes
Every member of the Solaris team is hired locally, trained in-house, and held to a strict standard of professionalism and quality. We don't subcontract, and we don't rotate random cleaners through your home.
How We Hire
We background-check every cleaner before they work a single shift. We verify references, conduct in-person interviews, and evaluate quality over a supervised training period. If they don't meet our standard, they don't join our team. It's that straightforward.
How We Train
DC homes are diverse — rowhouses, condos, high-rises, carriage houses, historic properties. Our training covers all of it. Cleaners learn our detailed room-by-room checklist system and are evaluated regularly to ensure quality doesn't drift.
The Problems We Set Out to Solve
Before building Solaris, we talked to dozens of DC homeowners and apartment renters about their frustrations with cleaning services.
Reliability
We show up when we say we will. Your schedule doesn't slow down, and finding a cleaning service that actually shows up shouldn't be this hard. With Solaris, it isn't.
Trust
Every cleaner is background-checked and insured. You're letting us into your home—we take that responsibility seriously. Many DC residents leave us with a key within the first few visits.
Consistency
We use detailed checklists for every clean — not to mechanize the process, but to ensure nothing gets overlooked. Your 50th clean should be as thorough as your first.
Communication
We confirm every appointment. We message when we're on the way. If anything changes, we tell you before it affects your day — not after. Communication isn't an extra feature; it's the baseline.
Our Promise to You
When you book with Solaris, you're not just getting a cleaning—you're getting a commitment. We promise to:
- Arrive in the scheduled window, every time
- Clean your home to a documented standard
- Use EPA-safe, pet-friendly, and effective products
- Communicate clearly and respond quickly
- Come back and make it right if anything falls short — no questions, no excuses
