Hiring a house cleaning service or maid service is a trust decision. After all, you're handing over your keys and letting someone into your home. So we think you deserve to see exactly what our work looks like before you book.
Below you'll find real before and after cleaning photos from kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and more across La Grange, Hinsdale, Burr Ridge, Downers Grove, Oak Brook, and the surrounding western suburbs of Chicago. For example, you can use the filters to browse by room or service type, including recurring cleaning, deep cleaning, and move-in/move-out. In addition, every cleaning follows our 56-Point Professional Cleaning Checklist, and every visit is documented with CompanyCam so both you and our team have a visual record of the work.

Our TeamThe Attention to Detail Our Clients Talk About Most
One thing that comes up again and again in our 530+ reviews is attention to detail. In other words, not just "the house looked clean," but specific callouts about areas most cleaning services skip entirely. The Sophia's Cleaning Service photos above show exactly what that looks like in practice, broken down by area.
Shower Corners and Tile Grout
Soap scum and mildew love corners. In fact, they build up fastest where the glass meets the frame, along grout lines, and around the base of shower doors. Because of that, our team scrubs these areas by hand every visit as part of the 56-Point Professional Cleaning Checklist. Several of the before-and-after photos above show corners that hadn't been properly cleaned in months, sometimes years. That's the kind of buildup that disappears after one visit and stays gone with recurring service.
Sink Fixtures and Drains
Bathroom sinks collect toothpaste residue, water spots, and mineral buildup around the base of the faucet and along the drain. Of course, these are small areas, but they're the first thing you notice when a bathroom feels neglected. Because of that, our cleaners detail around each fixture, including the underside of faucet handles and the overflow drain, on every cleaning.
Behind Toilets
Here's the thing: most people don't look behind their toilet. But dust, hair, and grime collect there constantly, especially around the base and along the water supply line. It's one of the areas our cleaners address on every bathroom visit because left alone, it turns into a buildup that's much harder to remove later. Several of the Sophia's Cleaning Service photos above show toilet areas that went from visibly neglected to spotless, including the base, the tank, and the floor immediately behind.
Kitchen Sinks and Countertops
Kitchen sinks take a beating. For example, food stains, grease splatter from nearby burners, and hard water deposits build up around the rim. In the photos above, you can see stainless steel sinks that went from dull and spotted to reflective. Plus, our team also scrubs the basin, polishes the fixtures, and wipes down surrounding countertops as a standard part of every kitchen cleaning.
Stovetops and Inside Ovens
Stovetop cleaning is included in every visit, from burnt-on grease around burners to crumbs under the grates and splatter on the range hood glass. However, inside-oven cleaning goes deeper, and as a result, it's one of the most common add-ons for deep cleans and move-in/move-out cleanings. The oven photos in the gallery show crusted-on grease and charred residue removed completely, including the oven door glass and interior walls.
Inside Microwaves
Splattered food inside a microwave builds up faster than you'd expect. Because of that, our team wipes down the interior walls, ceiling, turntable, and door seal on every visit. For homes that haven't had a professional cleaning in a while, the first visit usually involves steam-loosening baked-on residue before scrubbing. The before-and-after difference is dramatic.
Inside Refrigerators
This one isn't part of a standard recurring clean, and for good reason. It takes time to pull everything out, wipe down shelves and drawers, clean gaskets, and put it all back. Still, inside-fridge cleaning is a common request for deep cleans and especially for move-in/move-out situations where the fridge needs to be spotless for the next tenant or buyer. Several of the gallery photos show refrigerator interiors that went from sticky and stained to completely fresh.
Post-Construction Dust Removal
Construction dust is different from regular household dirt. It's fine, it gets everywhere, and it doesn't come off with a standard wipe-down. After a kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation, or any construction project, our post-construction cleaning team removes dust from countertops, inside cabinets, on appliance surfaces, around light fixtures, and off floors. The photos above show kitchens covered in drywall and sawdust that our team brought back to move-in condition.
Every Cleaning Documented with CompanyCam
Our team photographs your home before, during, and after every visit using CompanyCam, a professional documentation platform. This gives you a visual record of every cleaning, holds our team accountable to our 56-Point Checklist standards, and helps us track how your home's needs change over time. It's one of the ways we stay 1% better every day.
Common Questions About Our Cleaning Results
Yes, every photo on this page comes from an actual cleaning performed by our team in homes across Chicago's western suburbs. In fact, we use CompanyCam to document our work before, during, and after every visit. No stock photos or staged rooms.
A deep clean covers everything in our 56-Point Professional Cleaning Checklist, plus extra attention to areas that build up over time: inside appliances, behind furniture, baseboards, light fixtures, and detailed scrubbing of tile grout and shower doors. As a result, most deep cleans take 4 to 6 hours depending on the size of the home. You can see the difference in the before-and-after photos above.
A deep clean is a reset. It tackles everything that's been accumulating, from grease behind the stove to soap scum on shower glass. A recurring clean maintains that standard on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly schedule. Most clients start with a deep clean and then switch to recurring service to keep their home consistently clean without the heavy lifting.
That's exactly what our Priority List Cleaning option is for. Specifically, Laura builds a custom plan with you in about 5 minutes over the phone. You pick the rooms and tasks that matter most, skip areas you don't need every visit, and then adjust the plan any time by text, email, call, or through your client portal. Even 2,500+ square foot homes can save $20 to $100 per cleaning this way.
