DC Apartment Cleaning on Your Schedule
Apartment living in Washington, DC is its own category. You're probably in a building with neighbors who care about presentation, a landlord who inspects closely, and a lifestyle that doesn't leave much room for deep-cleaning sessions.
You want your apartment genuinely clean — not just the surfaces wiped down. But between your commute, your work, your life, and everything else DC demands, cleaning often ends up at the bottom of the list.
Solaris takes it off your list entirely. We provide professional apartment cleaning for DC residents across every type of building — studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, condos, high-rises, and walk-up apartments. We work around your schedule, and we clean to a standard that makes a real difference.

Why DC Apartment Renters Choose Solaris
We Understand Apartment Living
We've cleaned hundreds of DC apartments. We know building rules, building access, and neighbors next door. Our team operates discreetly, respects building protocols, and cleans without inconveniencing anyone.
Background-Checked, Insured, and Accountable
Every Solaris cleaner is background-screened and covered under full liability insurance. You can hand over a key or a building code with complete confidence.
Consistent Team, Consistent Results
You'll see the same cleaner on a regular basis. They'll learn your apartment, your preferences, and your priorities. That familiarity is what turns a good clean into a great one.

Regular cleaning prevents buildup that leads to deductions when you move out. And when you're ready to leave, our move-out cleaning helps you get that deposit back.
