I am so happy to find these two miracle women. Not only are they friendly and funny, they cleaned my house so well that it could be featured in House Beautiful. Elaine and Angie are exceptional!!
Angie Is Awesome
I have been using Cottage Care for several years. I am very happy with the price, and they do an amazing job!
Hannah cleaned my house the last two cleans and she does an amazing job!
They are the best house cleaning service I’ve used. Very thorough, professional, and friendly. And Shanna goes out of her way to accommodate your needs.
Great cleaning and on time. Worked diligently and finished in the time I'd expect.
I absolutely 😍 be my Cottage Care team. They are thorough, and flexible! I have no problems letting them clean while I'm running errands
Cottage Care provides excellent cleaning services with friendly staff and trustworthy cleaners in our home. They arrive on time and work diligently to ensure all cleaning is completed as expected! We have come to think of Sharla as part of our family and only want her to clean for us as she provides consistent and trustworthy service!
I started using Cottage Care in 2020 during the rental season for my house on Lake Murray. Shanna and her team have been amazing. They are incredibly flexible, professional and most important to me - reliable! Five years later (2025) it continues to be a great experience and I’m so fortunate to be doing business with this fantastic company.
Sharla is the best ever…she is very detailed and thorough with everything. She always ask if everything is ok and is very accommodating! Manager Shanna rocks, also! I am a very detail picky client. I could write a book about how wonderful Cottage Care is. Their charge is not the cheapest BUT I feel you get what you pay for.
Elyse is doing a fantastic job cleaning our house today. Her joyful spirit is infectious and her attention to detail is appreciated.
Cottage Care is very reliable, professional, and courteous!! The Manager, Shanna, is always helpful and willing to help with scheduling when I have special circumstances. Margaret, the team member that cleans our home, always has a smile on her face, a good attitude, and does an awesome job!! Christie Chapin, SC
Before and after…thanks Angie!
Always hard-working and great attention to detail! Very friendly :-) Elaine is terrific!!!
Sharla is great. Super nice to be around and does a great job.

Very satisfied with service. Angie does a wonderful job. She is friendly and courteous. Kay and I are so appreciative of what she does for us!
Sharla is the best house cleaner we have ever had. She is very careful with delicate objects and clearly enjoys her work. Cottage care hires good workers and their rates are reasonable. Marty & Gail Elia
Sharla performs excellent work with great results. Her work is thorough and efficient.
Excellent cleaning service and professional personnel make Cottage Care the only choice for us!
After Courtneys visits, the house looks great, smells fresh , & I feel great. They text reminder day before, if wreck on interstate that would delay her they will keep us updated.( seldom happens)
Very professional and do an amazing job on my parents house! Highly recommend!!
Angie & Bryana are awesome! So sweet, so friendly; great job cleaning!
Great service by Courtney and the whole Cottage Care team! They have done a great job helping us keep up with our house cleaning. Highly recommended if you need some help cleaning around the house!!
Excellent service and flexibility. We tried a few other cleaning services before we found CottageCare and no need to look any further.
Madison and Kirsten are the sweetest and do an amazing job each visit!
Courtney was prompt and did a good job. I would use her again
Angie has done a wonderful job cleaning our home. She's always friendly & takes great care to leave our home clean! Thankful for her work ethic and positive attitude! Would definitely recommend Cottage Care for your household cleaning needs.
Cottage Care is very reasonable and they do a great job!
The first time Angie came to my home I was here. I wanted to meet her. She is such a treat! Wonderful personality. And she did, and has since, a fabulous job. Very professional. I wanted someone who would treat my home like it was hers-and she does. I’m thrilled.
Karen has been so helpful in keeping our house (with a large dog and a baby) clean. She is thorough and always pleasant to talk to.
Cottage Care House Cleaning does a wonderful job. Jordin leaves my house sparkling clean! This helps so much for this new mom of twins. Highly recommend!
Everyone at Cottage Care is absolutely fabulous to deal with. Professional, timely and kind. We are thankful for their hard work and attention to detail. Simply the best clean in the Midlands. Thank you all!
We’ve been using Cottage Care for several months since moving to the area. Hannah is professional and has great attention to detail. It is such a great feeling to come home to a clean house with little touches that show she cares about her work. We highly recommend Hannah and are grateful for the company’s communication.
I used this service for a rental turn-over. It was a large 4 bedroom house with a family room, formal dining room and large living room. I can't sing their praises enough...They were on time and when I arrived the next day the house was spotless. The kitchen floor has never looked so good. Thanks to Shanna and her…
Margaret is awesome! She is so pleasant and fun!! She is always on time and does her work so fast but everything is perfect and the apartment looks wonderful!! I would highly recommend her to anyone!!
I have used them for several years now and have been satisfied with how thoroughly they clean and how professional they are. They are flexible with scheduling and I have never had to worry about any of their staff being in my house. My only complaint is that only one person comes at a time to clean so it takes a few…
Have been using them since before the pandemic started. They have a very good organization now from when we started. Shanna does a great job with customers and is friendly yet professional. Margaret does a great job on the cleaning bi-monthly. Works, doesn't kill time, goes at it entire time she is here. My wife…
