Bluejay
East Bay home cleaning

A clean home, without the search.

Bluejay matches you with a vetted independent cleaning professional who works in your neighborhood. We handle the scheduling, the communication, and the follow-up after the job is done.

  • Vetting required before any booking
  • Insured, background-checked pros required
  • Post-job follow-up on every clean

Preferred days

Submitting does not book anything and does not charge anything. We'll reply within one business day.

How it works

Three steps, in the order they happen.

01

Tell us about your home.

Share the basics — size, bathrooms, the kind of clean you want, and how often. It takes about a minute. Nothing is booked and nothing is charged yet.

02

We match you with a professional.

We pick a pro who works in your neighborhood and fits the job. You get a written quote and a few available times, usually within one business day.

03

They arrive, you approve the work.

The pro shows up in the confirmed window and cleans. Afterwards we check in with you, and if anything was missed we arrange to make it right.

  • Bathrooms: tub, shower, tile, toilet, mirror, sink, floors
  • Bedrooms: dusting, bed made, surfaces wiped, floors

Our requirements for pros

What a professional must show us before we place a booking.

Liability coverage

Before a pro takes a Bluejay booking, they must show active liability coverage — and keep it current as long as they take bookings through us.

Background check

Every professional must clear a criminal background check before we place a booking with them. Rechecks are required on an ongoing basis.

Verified references

We contact and confirm prior client references before a pro joins the network. Collecting them isn't enough — we need to hear the answers ourselves.

Post-job follow-up

After each clean we follow up with you and record the outcome. Repeated issues remove a pro from the network.

Frequently asked

Questions we hear often.

Who actually does the cleaning?
An independent cleaning professional Bluejay partners with. Bluejay is not a cleaning company — we handle matching, scheduling, and follow-up. The person who arrives runs their own cleaning business, and they must be vetted, background-checked, and insured before we place a booking with them.
Do I need to provide supplies?
No. Pros bring their own supplies and equipment as standard. If you'd prefer specific products used in your home — unscented, non-toxic, or a brand you already keep — note it in your request and we'll pass it along.
What if I'm not satisfied?
Tell us within 48 hours of the clean. We'll arrange for the missed work to be corrected at no additional cost. If it can't be made right, we'll say so directly rather than manage you.
Can I get the same cleaner each time?
Usually yes. For recurring bookings we try to keep you with the same professional, since a pro who knows your home does better work. If they're unavailable for a particular date we'll tell you in advance rather than substitute silently.
How do I pay?
There's nothing to pay to submit a request. Once you approve the quote and confirm a time, you'll receive an invoice after the clean is completed. No deposit and no card on file just to get a quote.
What's your cancellation window?
Cancel or reschedule at no cost up to 24 hours before your confirmed window. Inside 24 hours a late-cancellation fee may apply, since the pro has held the slot for you.
