About
Hi, I'm Emma.
I clean homes in Corvallis, Albany and Philomath, and I believe a clean home should feel calm, not clinical.
Emma Ney Cleaning is an owner-operated, insured and bonded house cleaning service based in Corvallis, Oregon, serving Albany, Philomath and Adair Village.
I started Emma Ney Cleaning after years of noticing the same thing in friends' homes: the clean that leaves a room feeling heavy with chemical scent is not the clean anyone actually wants.
So I do it differently. Plant-based products chosen for each surface. One checklist, followed every time. And me, in person, so your home is cared for by someone who knows it.
When I'm not working I'm probably on the Marys River path or in the garden, which is where most of the plant-based bias comes from.
Standards
What you can count on.
- Same person, every time
- You'll know exactly who is in your home. If that ever changes, you'll meet them first.
- Plant-based products
- Low-scent, surface-matched cleaners. Fragrance-free on request. Yours if you prefer.
- A written checklist
- Every room has a list I work from, so the standard doesn't drift between visits.
- Honest about edges
- If something is out of scope, I say so and point you to someone good.
Insured, bonded, background-checked
Paperwork you can see.
Certificates are on the Trust page and available on request before your first visit.
- General liability insurance
- Janitorial bond
- Background check completed

Your first visit
What to expect.
- 1
I text the night before with my arrival window and when I'm on my way.
- 2
I'll walk through with you (or your notes) to learn the home: surfaces, pets, the things that matter to you.
- 3
The first visit is an initial detail clean, so it runs longer than the ones that follow.
- 4
You're charged after the clean, never before. If anything isn't right, tell me within 24 hours and I'll fix it.
Let's make Thursdays feel like a hotel check-in.
