Usually, yes. Our booking flow deliberately keeps today selectable: pick the date, choose an arrival window — Morning 8am–12pm, Afternoon 12–3pm, or Late afternoon 3–6pm — and we call you about your quote. A start less than 24 hours away carries a +25% urgent surcharge, itemized in your quote before you confirm anything.
That’s the whole of it. If you’d rather have someone else keep it up, tell us about your place and we’ll send a price for it — nothing is booked until you say so.
How a today booking actually works here
There is no per-hour slot board that sells out by 9am. You choose a coarse arrival window, and the scheduling step says exactly what happens next: we’ll confirm your exact time after you book. That mechanism is what makes same-day possible at all — a four-hour window gives dispatch room to route a crew, which a rigid 2:00pm slot never would.
The honest part lives in our published terms, and it’s worth reading before booking in a hurry: a booking is confirmed once we verify the payment method on file and confirm your slot — “until then it is a request, and we will tell you either way.” And if a requested arrival window can no longer be honored, “we will propose the nearest alternative before your appointment.” In other words: same-day is not one-click guaranteed dispatch — it is a request a real person confirms, quickly, and in both directions. Any company promising you more than that online is promising something its calendar doesn’t control.
If it’s your first booking and you want the whole circuit — quote, our call, crew, checklist, payment after the visit — we’ve written it up step by step, authored in Spanish first. A same-day booking runs exactly that circuit, just faster.
What same-day costs — the arithmetic
A standard clean starts at $189 — a 2–3 hour visit with a 2-person team and 28 items verified by photo. On top of that base, a short-notice booking adds exactly one line: “Urgent booking (under 24 hours) +25%”. The math is yours to see, not ours to bury: $189 × 1.25 = $236.25 — plain arithmetic on two numbers, and the line sits itemized in your quote before you confirm.
There is one other possible line, for the genuinely nocturnal cases: a start inside the 7pm–7am window carries “After-hours service (7pm–7am) +50%”. If your start is both at night and under 24 hours away, the two surcharges add, and your quote shows the combined total. None of this is fine print — each surcharge is its own line with its own stated reason, in the same quote you decide on.
The surcharge is also the honest lever in reverse: it applies to starts less than 24 hours away, measured to your exact start time — push the start past that line and it disappears. Note that tomorrow morning can still sit inside those 24 hours; a start at least 24 hours out is the same crew and the same checklist at the base price. One symmetry worth knowing: under the same terms, cancellation is free up to 24 hours before your appointment, and inside 24 hours a $25 cancellation fee applies — a today booking is born inside that window, so place it when you mean it.

When today is realistic — and when tomorrow morning wins
The physics of same-day is simple: a standard visit runs 2–3 hours, and dispatch needs runway to move a crew to your door. A request placed at 9am aiming at the Afternoon window (12–3pm) gives the calendar hours to work with — those confirm often. A request placed at 4:30pm for the 3–6pm window is asking for minutes, not hours: those are the ones that tend to roll to tomorrow, with the nearest alternative proposed before your appointment, as the terms put it. The earlier in the day you ask, the more real “today” is.
Nor is this an acrobatic act we rehearse only when someone asks. Airbnb turnover — guest out at 11, guest in at 4 — is same-day cleaning as a daily discipline, and we’ve written up how those checkout-to-checkin turnovers actually work. A house that needs rescuing before a mother-in-law visit runs on the same muscle.
And when the rush is real — guests landing tonight, a landlord walkthrough at 5 — don’t rely on the form alone. Call, text, or WhatsApp us: every channel is on the contact page, and a person can tell you within minutes whether your today window can be honored, before you pay any surcharge at all.
FAQ
Is a same-day cleaning guaranteed once I book it?
No — and we say so in writing. Our published terms are that a booking is confirmed once we verify the payment method on file and confirm your slot; until then it is a request, and we tell you either way. If a window can no longer be honored, we propose the nearest alternative before your appointment. That is the honest shape of every same-day service: a fast request, then a human confirming a crew.
How do I avoid the urgent surcharge?
Pick a start at least 24 hours away — the clock runs to your exact start time, so a tomorrow-morning start that is still under 24 hours out carries the +25% all the same. The surcharge exists to price the scramble of routing a crew on short notice; just past the 24-hour line it is the same team, the same checklist, and the same base price.
Can I book a cleaning for tonight?
The flow accepts it. A start inside the 7pm–7am window carries the +50% after-hours rate, and if it is also less than 24 hours away the two surcharges add — your quote itemizes both and shows the total before you confirm, so a night start is a priced choice, never a surprise on the invoice.
