About Us

Our Story

Cleaning the Mitten is a family-owned residential cleaning company based in Livonia, Michigan. I started in 2013 as Mandee’s Cleaning Service, growing through word of mouth and neighborhood referrals. As we expanded, we rebranded to Cleaning the Mitten (around 2016–2017) to reflect our Michigan roots and our “Dust Bunny Exterminator” personality: friendly, detail-obsessed, and proudly local.

Today, we serve homes within roughly a 15-mile radius of Livonia, focusing on dependable people, clear communication, and spotless results. We're not the “race-through-your-house” kind of cleaners. We schedule realistic job times, follow a proven checklist, and personalize each visit to what matters most in your home.

In 2025, we shifted from team to solo cleaning to boost consistency and accountability. Most clients love seeing the same familiar face and getting the same high standards each time. We're bonded and insured, stand behind our work with a 24-hour satisfaction guarantee, and we happily work around pets and busy family life.

Giving back is part of who we are. Through Cleaning for a Reason, we donate free cleanings to individuals undergoing cancer treatment, because a lighter home can make hard days a little easier.

Our Team At Cleaning The Mitten

Homeowners trust that we'll show up when we say we will and treat their homes as if they were ours. Of course, letting someone into your home takes trust.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve been so happy with Cleaning the Mitten—they consistently do an amazing job and leave our home looking exactly the way I would clean it myself (if I had the time!). Bunnie, in particular, went above and beyond on her most recent visit. It’s such a relief to have a team we can trust to take care of our home with so much care and attention to detail. Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a deep clean done and my wife said “This is the least stressed I’ve been before a house party!” We marveled at the stove and kept walking around our house with socks on, just enjoying the clean sensation beneath our feet.  The team was hard working and even stayed about two hours longer to finish the job!  We’ll done

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cleaning the Mitten did an outstanding job with our move-out cleaning. They deep cleaned the entire house and left it looking spotless, ready for the next owners. Communication throughout the process was excellent, they showed up right on time, and were very accommodating with all our requests. I especially appreciated the photos they shared of the finished work, which showed just how thorough they were. Highly recommend them for anyone needing a reliable, professional cleaning service!
