I contacted Jeanette in July to inquire about cleaning my daughter’s bedroom, bathroom, and common areas of her apartment in Gainesville once she had moved to her new apartment.
When we went in after the work was complete my daughter said-“Wow- this is the cleanest this has ever been! Including the day I moved in last year!” I would recommend contacting Good Heart Homes for move in/ move out/ and maintenance cleaning.

What Gainesville says about our team

If you are reading this, it means you are looking for a good cleaner, and I had a wonderful experience with Jeanette and her Good Heart Homes team. I’ve had a few cleaners out, and Jeanette’s work was superior to anything I’ve previously experienced. When Jeanette brought me to see the back rooms they’d cleaned, I immediately felt the difference, then she showed me photos of some of the details they’d taken care of, like vacuuming the slats on the closet, and using cr to shine the fixtures in the bathroom. But the main thing I noticed was that the house felt wonderful when they were done, and it still does. I hope to use this service again.
I also want to mention how nice Jeanette is. I was just very, very happy to have her and her team in my home and that’s saying a lot.
I know you will really enjoy working with her and can highly, highly recommend.
I am completely pleased! Jeanette and her team did the best cleaning job I have ever had from any company! I paid what I would have expected to pay for a deep cleaning and will happily do so again when the house is ready. Meanwhile, I will be employing Good Heart Homes for all my routine cleaning needs! Five Stars!
Jeanette and her team did an exceptional job cleaning. She sent before and after photos and did an amazing job on a move-out cleaning. She was always prompt in returning messages to me and accommodating. Highly recommended!
Jeannette and her team are amazing. Their responsiveness is impeccable. The work they did was great! They sent a lot of before and after pictures and videos so you know they got the job done well. I would definitely use Good Heart Homes Cleaning again. Great service if you are looking for move our cleaning in the Gainesville, FL area!
Hired Good Heart Homes for a last minute move out clean and Jeannette and her team did an amazing job! They were prompt, responsive, professional and thorough – and Jeannette was genuinely kind and caring and really cares about her clients. Good Heart Homes went above and beyond and I received before and after photos so I could send them to my landlord. They cleaned all the usual places and scrubbed the wood floors until they were shiny...but they really surprised me and cleaned the blinds, the cabinets and behind the washer and dryer (so grateful since they were really dusty and dirty)! I’ve moved dozens of times and have hired dozens of cleaners and Good Heart Homes is by far one of the very best. Ten out of ten would recommend – worth every penny!!
Top notch company that will bend over backwards to accommodate changes in schedules etc. They’re cleaning is very thorough and are always asking for feedback if anything ever gets missed (which almost never happens). My house looks and smells better than new after every cleaning. Can’t recommend them enough!
Family-owned Peruvian roots Gainesville home
A family business, run the way family should be treated
Our standard began with Mama Gina, the grandmother who held our family together. She came to the U.S. from Peru and kept all of our homes running while her children worked and her grandchildren were at school. Our llama, Llama Llina, is named for her, and we clean every home the way she kept ours.

FAQ
Questions we hear every week
How much does house cleaning cost in Gainesville?
Recurring cleaning starts at $105 per visit, deep cleans at $175 and move-out cleans at $195 for a 1-bedroom, 1-bath home. Larger homes cost more — our instant estimate gives you a range in about 30 seconds. We confirm your exact price before we start.
Do I need to be home while you clean?
No. Many clients give us a door code, lockbox or key. Your entry instructions stay private — only the team cleaning your home gets them — and we’ll let you know when we’re done, with photos of the finished job if you’d like them.
Do you bring your own supplies and equipment?
Yes. We bring our own supplies, vacuums and tools. If you prefer we use a specific product — or eco-friendly, fragrance-free or pet-safe products — just tell us and we’ll use it.
What if I’m not happy with the cleaning?
Tell us within 48 hours — a text with a photo is perfect — and we’ll come back and fix it at no charge. That’s the Good Heart Promise. It’s why so many of our reviews say we asked for feedback and made things right.
Can I book a cleaning for my college student from out of town?
Yes — parents book many of our student cleans. You book and pay from anywhere, we coordinate access with your student, the roommates or the leasing office, and we text you photos when it’s done. Our founder is a UF parent herself — more on student apartment cleaning.
