Are your cleaning products safe for pets and children?

Are your cleaners insured and bonded?

Yes, all Merry Maids® cleaners are insured and bonded so you can feel secure in your home cleaning choice.

How often should I schedule a deep cleaning service?

For most homeowners, a one-time deep cleaning every 6 to 12 months is usually sufficient. If you aren't receiving regular cleaning on a weekly or bi-monthly basis, you may want to schedule cleanings more frequently.

Can I ask for special requests or request focus on certain areas?

Yes! We are happy to accommodate any special requests you may have. If parts of your home are especially cluttered or untidy, our team can spend their time just on those areas so that you get the best value for your money. Common special requests we receive include: de-griming baseboards, cleaning inside cabinets, removing pet hair from furniture, and de-cluttering closets.

Merry Maids® Gaithersburg

The Mascari family is rooted in strong values, deep community ties, and a genuine commitment to caring for others. Bob and Pat Mascari raised their family in Rockville, where family, faith and hard work shaped their daily lives. Their home was filled with the values they lived and taught: trust, dignity, compassion, and respect for everyone they encountered. These principles became the foundation not only of their family life, but also their family business, Merry Maids.

Drawn to Merry Maids’ culture of caring for both employees and customers, the Mascari family invested fully in building a culture rooted in respect and service. The Mascari family has built a workplace that offers flexible schedules, a safe and respectful environment, open communication, competitive benefits, and recognition of hard work. They believe supporting employees with dignity and compassion naturally leads to exceptional service.

For customers, the commitment was just as strong: consistent trust, quality, outstanding customer service, schedule flexibility, attention to individual needs, and the use of safe, environmentally conscious products and equipment. The goal remains building trust and loyalty with everyone we serve.

37 years later, the Mascari family remains devoted to our Merry Maids employees and customers, continuing to prioritize respect, dignity, and compassion.
