Recurring home cleaning
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Same person, same rhythm, so nothing has to be explained twice.
Independent housekeeper · Portland metro
Your place, tended like a garden.
Fern & Bucket is one person — me, Nicola. Professional residential housekeeping, the same careful pair of hands every visit, and a clear price agreed before I start.
Drag a finger across the glass — or let me take care of it.
Go on, wipe the glass. I’ll wait.
Solo & owner-run
One housekeeper — the person who quotes your home is the person who cleans it.
Pet & kid friendly
Careful around paws, small hands, nap times and nervous cats.
Licensed & insured
Fully covered, and the paperwork is yours on request.
The beds I tend
What I do
Three things, done properly. Residential housekeeping is the whole job — no add-ons I don’t stand behind.
Deep cleans
The once-a-year reset. Baseboards, blinds, behind things, inside things, the tops of doors.
Move-in / move-out
Empty rooms taken back to spotless. Photos on request for your landlord, agent or buyer.
Why people stay
The bits that actually matter
The same pair of hands, every visit
You’ll deal with one person: me. I learn which mug is the good one and which door sticks.
A clear price up front
Your online estimate is a starting point — I confirm the price before the first visit, and once we’ve agreed it, it stays put.
The right product for the job
Gentle cleaners where they do the job; bleach and proper disinfectants where they’re what’s needed.
Genuinely local
I live here. I know exactly what a wet January does to a hallway floor.
Independent, not a franchise
No crews, no subcontractors, no head office. Just a housekeeper who takes the work personally.
Fully insured
Licensed and insured, so a knocked-over lamp is a shrug rather than a conversation.
Three steps
How it goes
- 1
Price your clean online
Pick the type of clean, the size of the place and the state it’s in — the calculator gives you a genuine starting price on the spot.
- 2
Call or text to confirm
Ring or text (971) 266-1745 with your starting price and a few details — photos help. I’ll confirm the price and a time within one working day, no walkthrough needed.
- 3
Settle into a rhythm
Same person, same day, a home that quietly stays on top of itself instead of piling up.
Serving the Portland metro & surrounding PNW. If you’re just outside it, ask anyway — I often am too.
Instant estimate
Price your clean
Three quick questions — what kind of clean, how big the place is, and the state it’s in — and you’ll see where the price lands. No visit required.
The number you build is a starting price, not a final bill. It’s usually close — but homes vary: square footage, clutter and the odd tricky corner all move the work. Call or text and I’ll confirm your price before anything’s booked.
Step one
What kind of clean?
Step two

Step three
How is it looking right now?
Your starting price
Starting price: 185 dollars for a standard clean, two bedrooms, lived-in.
A starting price rather than a final figure — for most homes it lands close, though sizes and the odd obstacle can nudge it either way. Call or text (971) 266-1745 and I’ll confirm your price before we book anything. Regular weekly or fortnightly visits usually come in a little under the one-off price.

What people say
The same person every visit, and the place always feels genuinely reset rather than just tidied.
Maren — Sellwood Texted over a few photos, had a confirmed price the same day — and it hasn’t moved since.
Dev — Beaumont-Wilshire Our dog sleeps through the whole thing now, which tells you most of what you need to know.
