Cleaning Cape Cod Homes Since 2016

We're a locally owned cleaning company built on reliability, quality work, and genuine care for our community. Getting to know our clients and their homes is what we do best.

Professional cleaning team

Our Story

Lilly's Cleaning started in 2016 when Lilly Whitman recognized a need for reliable, professional cleaning services on Cape Cod. After working in property management and seeing inconsistent cleaning quality affecting both homeowners and vacation rental businesses, she decided to do something about it.

What began as a one-person operation has grown into a trusted team serving homes and businesses throughout Cape Cod. We've cleaned hundreds of properties, from small condos to large family homes, from medical offices to retail spaces. Despite our growth, we've maintained the personal attention and quality focus that defined our first cleanings.

Being based in Cotuit means we understand Cape Cod living. We know about salt air on windows, sand tracking through entryways, and the specific challenges of maintaining homes near the ocean. We're not a national franchise following a generic script. We're your neighbors who take genuine pride in keeping local homes and businesses clean.

Why Choose a Local Cleaning Company?

When you hire Lilly's Cleaning, you're supporting a Cape Cod business that reinvests in the local community. We employ local residents, use local suppliers when possible, and understand the specific needs of Cape Cod homes.

We're not following corporate policies written at a distant headquarters. We make decisions based on what works for Cape Cod properties and what matters to our clients. If you have a question or concern, you talk to people who actually work in your home, not a call center somewhere else.

Our reputation is built entirely on local word-of-mouth and client relationships. That means we have every incentive to do excellent work every single time. When your neighbor recommends us, we take that trust seriously.

We also understand Cape Cod's seasonal rhythms. We know about summer vacation rentals needing quick turnarounds, seasonal homes requiring opening and closing cleanings, and year-round residents managing the challenges of coastal living. This local knowledge shapes how we work.
