Because You Have Better Things To Do
Life gets busy. Between work, family, errands, and everything else on your calendar, cleaning is probably the last thing you want to spend your free time doing.
That's where we come in.
At D's Dust Bunnies, we take care of the cleaning so you can get back to everything else. From family homes and busy offices to real estate listings and vacation rentals, our experienced teams have been keeping spaces clean throughout Lake and McHenry Counties and Southeastern Wisconsin for over 30 years.
Leave the dust bunnies to us. You've got better things to do.


What We Clean
Our Cleaning Services
A Cleaning Service for Just About Every Space
No two spaces are exactly alike, and neither are their cleaning needs. Whether you're looking for help around the house, managing a commercial property, or getting ready for your next guest, we've got a cleaning service for you.

For Businesses
Commercial Cleaning for Every Kind of Business
Your Business Has Enough Moving Parts. Cleaning Shouldn't Be Another One.
A clean workplace makes a difference, from the first impression you make on customers to the environment your employees work in every day.
But keeping everything looking its best takes time, especially when you've already got a business to run.
Our commercial cleaning services are designed around the way your business operates. Whether you manage a small office, a busy storefront, or another commercial space, we'll work with you to create a cleaning plan that fits your needs and schedule.
Need cleaning after business hours or on weekends? We can work around your operations so your team can focus on their jobs while ours takes care of the cleaning.
Common cleaning services include:

From Listing Photos to Closing Day, Every Detail Matters.
You know how much first impressions matter when selling a home. A spotless kitchen, fresh bathrooms, and clean floors can help buyers focus on what makes a property special instead of what needs scrubbing.
D's Dust Bunnies works with real estate professionals to prepare properties for the moments that matter, whether it's the photographer's arrival, the first showing, or the final walk-through.
We also help sellers prepare to move out and buyers start fresh in their new homes. With a professional cleaning team handling the details, that's one less thing you need to coordinate during an already busy transaction.
We can help with:
Your job is getting the property sold. We'll handle the dust.

For Families
House Cleaning for Busy Families
A Clean Home Is Wonderful. Having Time to Enjoy It Is Even Better.
There's something about walking into a freshly cleaned home that makes the whole day feel better. The bathrooms are spotless, the floors are clean, and you can finally sit down without mentally adding another chore to your list.
Our residential cleaning services help you spend less time keeping up with the house and more time actually enjoying it.
Whether you need weekly cleaning, every other week, monthly visits, or just a little extra help now and then, we'll work with your schedule.
And we're not talking about a quick once-over. Our teams follow a detailed room-by-room cleaning checklist, with additional deep-cleaning attention rotating through your home during regular visits.
House cleaning options include:
Because your Saturday should belong to you, not your bathroom.

For Moving Day
Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning
New Keys, Fresh Start. Leave the Cleaning to Us.
Moving comes with enough boxes, paperwork, and last-minute surprises. Scrubbing the inside of kitchen cabinets doesn't need to be one of them.
Whether you're leaving a home behind or getting ready to settle into a new one, our move-in and move-out cleaning services help make the transition easier.
With rooms empty and furniture out of the way, our team can tackle the areas that don't always get attention during regular housekeeping. Think cabinet interiors, drawers, the inside of the refrigerator, baseboards, and all those corners you suddenly notice once everything's packed.
Need the inside of the oven cleaned, too? Just ask us to include it in your estimate.
We work with homeowners, renters, landlords, property managers, and real estate professionals to get spaces ready for their next occupants.
Our move-in and move-out cleaning can include:
You've got enough to carry. Let us take cleaning off your moving list.

For Rental Hosts
Airbnb and Short-Term Rental Cleaning
When One Guest Checks Out and Another Checks In, the Details Matter.
Running a successful short-term rental means keeping a lot of things moving. Reservations, guest questions, check-in times, supplies, and of course, making sure the property is ready for the next arrival.
That's where having a dependable cleaning team makes a real difference.
D's Dust Bunnies works with Airbnb and short-term rental owners to clean properties between guests, paying attention to the details that help create a welcoming space.
From freshly made beds and clean bathrooms to kitchens, floors, and living areas, our teams work through the property so it's ready for its next guests. We can also restock guest essentials using supplies you provide.
Whether your rental is a cozy weekend getaway or a busy property with frequent bookings, we'll discuss your turnover needs and how our services can fit your schedule.
Turnover cleaning services include:

Straight From Our Customers
Reviews From Our Cleaning Customers
Don't Just Take Our Word for It
We could tell you all day how much we care about doing a great job. But hearing it from the people who invite our teams into their homes and businesses means a whole lot more.
From homeowners who've trusted us for years to rental hosts who depend on us between guests, here's what our customers have to say.
Why D's Dust Bunnies
It's the Little Things That Make a Big Difference
A good cleaning service should do more than leave your home looking nice. It should make your life easier, deliver consistent results, and give you confidence in the people coming through your door.
Here's how we put that into practice.
1
Your Home Gets Its Own Mop Head
Every home we clean has its own dedicated microfiber mop head. The mop head used on your floors isn't being carried from one customer's house to another.
2
A Little Extra Attention, Every Visit
Regular cleaning keeps your home looking great, but some areas need more attention. Our rotating deep-cleaning system focuses on an additional room each visit, taking care of things like baseboards, vents, and door frames along the way.
3
Teamwork Gets the Job Done
Our cleaning teams work in groups of two or more, arriving with their own supplies and following an established cleaning process. You get the benefit of a coordinated team rather than relying on one person to do it all.
