Because every busy home can use a little backup.

Cleaning is just one of the many things you need help with around the house — and we’re here to help you tackle them all. Housekeeping by Lemondrop is a unique twist on the traditional “mother’s helper” service, updated for modern families with busy schedules and ever-changing needs.

Get help for that crazy week you have coming up, or set up a recurring schedule so you never have to worry about it again. And you can do it all online — use our simple Housekeeping booking form to choose, prioritize, and add notes for your tasks. Then update your to-do list as needed in our Housekeeping portal, and we’ll handle the rest.

Backup that fits your family.

Not every household needs the same thing every week. Housekeeping bends three ways — tap one to see how it works.

Book a standalone Housekeeping visit whenever you need one — no cleaning appointment or commitment required.
Set-and-forget, on whatever cadence works for you. Keep it the same week after week, or change it to match your shifting schedule. It's easy to adjust days and tasks — use our Housekeeping portal or just send us a text.
Add Housekeeping onto any Lemondrop cleaning service and skip tidying up and doing dishes before your cleaning appointment. Already booked it? Just text us, and we'll add it on.
