How we picked
- We started with house cleaning services that show up on Google Maps for Indianapolis searches and serve the city.
- To make the list, a company had to be locally owned (no national franchises or booking apps), rated 4.8 or higher on Google with at least 100 reviews, and rated A+ by the BBB or not listed there. We left off one company whose BBB file mentions corporate-owned locations until we can confirm it isn’t a franchise.
- We ordered them by Google rating adjusted for review count, so a 4.9 from 1,000 people counts for more than a 5.0 from 12. (We blend each rating with 100 reviews at 4.5 stars, so small samples don’t jump to the top.)
- We read up to 30 Google reviews for each company and summarized the themes that came up more than once. One-off complaints aren’t counted as themes.
- Ratings and review counts were checked on November 13, 2026. They change daily, so click through for today’s numbers. We recheck this list every few months.
Before you hire a house cleaner
- Ask whether the company is insured and bonded, and whether cleaners are employees or contractors.
- Ask what’s included in a standard clean versus a deep clean, like inside the oven, fridge or windows.
- For a first visit, expect a deep clean that costs more than regular visits after it.
- Ask whether you’ll get the same cleaners each time, and how they handle keys or door codes.
- Ask what happens if something is missed. Good companies will come back and fix it.
Questions people ask
How often should I have my house cleaned?
Every other week is the most common choice for busy households. Weekly suits homes with kids or pets, and monthly works if you keep up in between.
Should I tip my house cleaner?
It isn’t required, but many people tip for a big deep clean or around the holidays. Ask the company whether tips go straight to the cleaners.
Why isn’t my cleaning service on the list?
It may not have met one of our cutoffs (4.8+ on Google with 100+ reviews, A+ or no BBB rating, locally owned), or we may have missed it. Tell us about it using the link below, and we’ll look at it when we recheck the list.
