Good Vibes Cleaning Co. is a one person house cleaning service focused on supporting disabled and neurodivergent people in the Portland metro area.

[Update March 29, 2024 : I’m in the middle of editing this website, so if things are out of place or wonky, that’s probably why. Please contact me if you have any issues!]

Hi all - my name is Quinn Diane Thereaux, my pronouns are they/them, and Good Vibes Cleaning Co. is my humble little cleaning business. Welcome! Thanks for finding me.

I offer a spectrum of cleaning and organizing services with a focus on supporting disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent, and mad people (I used “disabled” as an umbrella term for this range of experience). I’m happy to work with everyone, but I put particular care into supporting disabled people for a few reasons:

• A lot of us need cleaning support. We might be low on spoons, our brains might be foggy (or hyper focused on other things), or maybe the locomotion just isn’t locomotioning. Whatever the reasons, it’s impossible to keep up with an entire house full of stuff without some help.

• As the clutter and grime builds up, it can have big impacts on our wellbeing and quality of life. It can make daily tasks more difficult, it can be visually distressing and result in unpleasant smells and allergy issues, and it can just trigger a lot of stress and shame and exacerbate mental health struggles.

• Disabled people need safe, responsive, and accommodating cleaning support. We don’t want to invite just anyone into our homes, we need people who will take the time to listen to our unique needs and concerns while also helping with the physical, logistical, and sometimes emotional heavy lifting.

• Many of us feel shame and anxiety around cleaning, or we may hesitate to express certain boundaries and needs and concerns. Sometimes our physical baggage comes with a lot of emotional baggage too. Many of my clients reach out to me after months of struggle, and often I’m the first house cleaner they’ve ever hired. Cultivating trust from the beginning is essential.

My Services

My main jam is decluttering, organizing, and light house keeping. It fills me with absolute glee to walk into a chaotic and cluttered space and work my magic on it. The more chaotic and cluttered the better! The satisfaction of turning messy spaces into tidy spaces is total joy for me, and I’m thrilled to use that joy to help you feel more cozy and comfortable at home!

I also love working on larger organizing projects like organizing kitchens, pantries, bedrooms and kids rooms, craft/project rooms, garages and basements, and even entire houses!

I also offer vacancy move out / move in cleanings, but because I don’t have a car I’m not as well equipped for large jobs as other cleaners are. Smaller apartments and houses are more my typical scope, but I love taking on occasional two day projects like larger houses.

Prices & Rates

My pricing system is fluid, and the numbers listed here are rough estimates and subject to change. When you schedule your initial consultation with me, you’ll fill out a form with some basic info about your home, then during the consultation we’ll talk more about your needs, priorities, and budget. At that point I’ll be able to offer you a more accurate estimate, but it will still be an estimate and may be subject to change based on the conditions of your space, the time needed to get the job done, and any extra supplies I need to buy specifically for your home.

A single housekeeping & decluttering session

········ $200 for the first three hours, then $60 per hour for each additional hour.

Recurring cleaning sessions

········ Weekly Cleanings : Starting at $869 per month

········ Biweekly Cleanings : Starting at $435 per month

········ Monthly Cleanings : Starting at $220 per month

Vacancy Cleanings (AKA Move In / Move Out Cleanings)

········ These are the hardest cleanings to price because peoples’ needs and expectations vary quite wildly. When you schedule your initial consultation with me, you’ll fill out a form with some basic info about your space, then during the consultation we’ll talk more about your needs, priorities, and budget. You can expect to pay $300 for small studios, around $400 to $500 for small homes and apartments, and at the very most $1200 for larger houses that require two full days to clean.

Deposits, Rescheduling, and Refunds

Scheduling deposit: For non-recurring appointments, I ask for a 50% deposit upon scheduling, with the remaining 50% due on the day of service. So, if we schedule a four hour cleaning at an estimated $60/hour ($240 total), then you would pay half that amount ($120) for the deposit.

No rescheduling fee! Most of my clients are disabled and have a wide range of unpredictable needs that might make it necessary to postpone a cleaning session. Likewise, I myself may have to reschedule for my own wellbeing and disability needs. So for your convenience and for my own, I choose to not have rescheduling fees.

Cancellation fee: If you need to cancel an appointment entirely, please let me know as soon as possible. I offer full refunds on deposits when you cancel 7+ days in advance of service, partial refunds 6-4 days in advance, and no refunds three or less days in advance.

• 7+ days in advance = 100% refund

• 6 days in advance = 90% refund

• 5 days in advance = 80% refund

• 4 days in advance = 70% refund

• 3 or less days in advance = No refund

If I have to cancel a scheduled cleaning for any reason, I’ll give you the option to either reschedule or to get a full refund on your deposit.

Schedule a Cleaning

Returning clients: please contact me for a link to my scheduling page if you don’t have it already! I’m no longer booking appointments directly from my website — apologies for the inconvenience!

First time clients: please use the form at the bottom of the page to schedule a virtual consultation over Zoom so we can get acquainted and discuss details. The form will ask you a few questions — if you have any issues with it, please let me know. And if Zoom doesn’t work for you, let’s talk about other options!

Now serving *most* of the Portland metro area

I’m based in North Portland and I get around by Trimet, so my commuting options are somewhat limited, but public transit works in mysterious ways and sometimes a long distance trip is still a simple trip (if not quick). When you schedule your initial consultation, the form will ask for your home address or a nearby intersection, which will help me determine whether the trip is viable. If you want to check with me before booking a consultation, please message me with your location info and I’ll let you know if I can make it work.

COVID-19 and Community Safety

I serve a lot of clients who are trying to avoid COVID at all costs, so I take pandemic safety very seriously. I am vaccinated, 5x boosted, and will wear a mask unless we agree to go unmasked. I ask that adults and children who are in the same room as me are vaccinated and wear a mask unless we discuss otherwise. Thank you.
