A spotless Merritt Island home. No more chores. More time for you.
Why we exist
You work all week. You get home. The house needs attention again — counters, floors, bathrooms, dust that showed up two days after you cleaned. Saturday morning rolls around and instead of doing what you actually want, you're scrubbing toilets and mopping floors.
The house gets clean. But you're exhausted. And by Wednesday, it looks like you never touched it.
Meanwhile, the things that actually matter to you — time with your kids, your business, your health, a Saturday that feels like a Saturday — keep getting pushed to "next week."
You shouldn't have to choose between a clean home and a life you enjoy. That's a trade-off that doesn't need to exist.

Marco and his crew showed up on time. They were very meticulous in their cleaning. They were polite and work continuously. The price was reasonable but the best part was that they did a great job. I would highly recommend them!!
Marco did a great job cleaning our carpet , he was prompt and efficient.
Very easy to book a time they show up on time and were professional. Most importantly they did an amazing job cleaning.
As a long-term client of Captain Duster, I highly recommend this organization. This is a five star company that I truly appreciate. They work diligently to hire an excellent team of home cleaning professionals! My overall experience over the past few years has been nothing but outstanding! Team members are always on time, extremely courteous and professional with an attitude towards excellence! Today I had a relatively new team member come to my home. Her name is Tamara. She brings tremendous experience with a sense of pride in her work Tamara has a keen eye for the "little" details, which makes her an outstanding example of the Captain Duster team!
Really good experience using Captain Duster. They have been coming to clean for us for a few weeks and always ask if there is anything special we need doing. The ladies who come are very sweet and hard workers. Because the house looks so nice when done, it gives me an incentive to keep it up in between. I now no longer need to be stressed when we have unexpected visitors as I know the house is tidy and clean. Captain Duster is very professional and it is a pleasure working with them, especially Victor.
Today we had a great experience. We hired Captain Duster to do a deep clean. First - Victor was great to coordinate the cleaning. He is very knowledgeable and professional. Second - today we had 4 professionals come in and clean our house. They were Lexi, Connor, Samantha and Marco. They were a great team and did a phenomenal job. They were thorough and efficient. Because they did a great job, we've hired Captain Duster to clean our house monthly. I would highly recommend Captain Duster.
Josette, you did a fantastic job cleaning our home. You are a 5 plus lady. We finally found a cleaning service that does a fantastic job. We will book our next cleaning with Josette. Thank you so much Josette . Pat and Steve
I have tried multiple cleaning companies and no one comes close to the thorough and impeccable cleaning of Captain duster. Marco and his team are fantastic in every way. I cannot recommend them highly enough.!
ViMarie was extremely professional and proficient! She has a lovely personality! I am very happy with her cleaning. I even have decided to schedule her every four weeks for the next several months and will see how that goes.As far as the company, Captain Duster, they are extremely professional and technically proficient. They spell out their procedures so you know what you should expect. I left messages several times when I called and they always got back to me within a matter of minutes. Victor is who I spoke to each time and he is amazing.I can say how much I really liked this service. I highly recommend them.Happy New Year!

Local · Merritt Island, FL
Captain Duster provides house cleaning service in Merritt Island, FL — standard, deep, and move-in/out cleans by bonded, insured local crews serving North Merritt Island, South Tropical Trail, Sykes Creek and nearby areas, backed by a 24-hour guarantee.
Merritt Island sits between the Indian and Banana rivers, so every clean here factors in humidity and the pollen drifts that come off the marshes. The waterfront properties along the canals south of SR-520 and out toward South Tropical Trail are typically open-floor-plan homes with lots of glass, big lanais and screen rooms. North Merritt Island toward Courtenay Parkway leans newer-build with stamped-concrete drives and tile pool decks. When you go recurring you get the same crew every visit, and you get a written guaranteed quote in minutes with no in-person estimate.
Merritt Island sits inside a unique humidity zone created by the Indian River on the west and the Banana River on the east — the two water bodies funnel damp air over the island without the directional breeze that clears it on the open beach. That persistent humidity accelerates mold growth inside bathroom walls, around A/C registers, and in any cabinet under a sink. The marshes of Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge to the north release sawgrass and spartina pollen in pulses from January through June that settle on every horizontal surface inside screen rooms. South Tropical Trail waterfront properties face the Banana River and accumulate algae-bloom particulate on their west-facing screen enclosures, particularly after heavy summer rain events.
You picked Merritt Island for the water on both sides — the Indian River, the Banana River, the refuge just up the road. You didn't pick it to spend your weekend chasing humidity and pollen around the house. That's the trade we're happy to take off your hands.
Merritt Island sits in its own damp pocket, with both rivers funneling moist air over the island and none of the open-beach breeze to carry it off. That humidity pushes mold into bathroom walls and under-sink cabinets, and the marshes up by the wildlife refuge send sawgrass and spartina pollen drifting onto every surface inside a screen room. Waterfront homes along South Tropical Trail catch algae-bloom film on their west-facing enclosures after a hard summer rain. A recurring clean stays on top of all of it, and we do our best to send the same cleaner each time.
Looking for house cleaners near you in Merritt Island? Easy. Tell us about your home and get a written price in minutes — no in-person estimate. A background-checked, insured local crew arrives with every supply and a 24-hour guarantee, and the price is set by your home, not your ZIP. We cover all of Merritt Island — North Merritt Island, South Tropical Trail, Sykes Creek, and Newfound Harbor — across 32952 and 32953.
Neighborhoods · Merritt Island, FL
Merritt Island runs across the ZIP codes 32952, 32953, and North Merritt Island has little in common with South Tropical Trail. Here's how our crews approach each part of town.
North Merritt Island toward Courtenay Parkway (32953) leans newer-build, with stamped-concrete drives, tile pool decks, and open square footage. The marsh pollen off the wildlife refuge to the north settles on sills and fans in pulses from January through June — managed with a steady schedule.
North Merritt Island, 32953: recurring, deep and move-in/move-out cleaning with a written Merritt Island price up front.
South Tropical Trail (32952) runs along the Banana River with waterfront, open-floor-plan homes full of glass and big screen enclosures. Those west-facing enclosures catch algae-bloom film after heavy summer rain, and the river humidity works on slider tracks and window seals — the areas we watch on every visit.
South Tropical Trail (32952) — weekly, biweekly, monthly or a one-time deep clean for your Merritt Island home.
The Sykes Creek area (32952) sits on the canals with brackish-water frontage, where humidity accelerates mold around slider tracks and window seals. Recurring attention to those spots keeps the buildup from ever taking hold in a waterfront home.
Sykes Creek (32952) — standard, deep, move-out and recurring cleaning by the same Merritt Island crew.
Newfound Harbor (32952) is a canal-front pocket of open-plan homes with large screen rooms that collect marsh and sawgrass pollen. Screen enclosures aren't part of a standard clean but can be added to any recurring or deep-clean visit as a priced line item.
Newfound Harbor, 32952: recurring, deep and move-in/move-out cleaning with a written Merritt Island price up front.
Every Merritt Island ZIP is ours to clean (32952, 32953), from North Merritt Island out. Send the address and we'll put the price in writing — no walk-through.
Services · Merritt Island, FL
We run all of these in Merritt Island: North Merritt Island, South Tropical Trail, Sykes Creek and every address inside 32952, 32953. Same background-checked crew each visit, supplies included, price in writing before anyone comes out.
House cleaners · Merritt Island, FL
Half of Merritt Island searches for house cleaners, half for a maid service, and a good number type "cleaners near me" from a driveway in Sykes Creek. It is the same job and the same people: background-checked W-2 employees who arrive with every product and tool, and a written price that lands before anyone drives out to 32952, 32953.
The people who show up are Captain Duster employees — background-checked, W-2, on payroll — not 1099 contractors sent to your Sykes Creek address by an app. Recurring visits keep the same crew on the Merritt Island route, and everything the clean needs rides in with them.
Same visit, older word. In Merritt Island, Brevard County it means a full pass — dusting, kitchen and bathroom sanitizing, floors vacuumed and mopped, trash removed — on whatever rhythm Sykes Creek picks, with a discount for booking it standing.
A housekeeper, in practice, is continuity. Put Sykes Creek or anywhere else in Merritt Island on a recurring schedule and we do our best to keep the same cleaner on it, which is why standing customers here stop leaving notes by the third visit.
Comparing cleaning companies around Sykes Creek comes down to four questions: are the cleaners employees or contractors, is the company bonded and insured, does the price come in writing without a walk-through, and what happens when something is missed in Merritt Island. Ours: employees, yes, yes, and 24 hours to tell us.
The honest version of "cleaners near me": we already drive Merritt Island. Newfound Harbor and South Tropical Trail sit on one weekly route, every ZIP we list (32952, 32953) is on it, and nobody at the far end pays extra for the miles.

FAQ
Yes — Captain Duster covers all of Merritt Island. Wherever you are in town, from North Merritt Island, South Tropical Trail, Sykes Creek, Newfound Harbor to every ZIP we list (32952, 32953), a background-checked, insured cleaning service near you is only minutes away. Send us your address and you'll get a written, guaranteed price in minutes — no walk-through — and you never have to wonder whether we reach you: we clean the whole city.
Yes. Properties directly on the canals south of SR-520 deal with algae splash on patio pavers and screen room frames, and the humidity off the water accelerates mold growth inside slider tracks and around window seals. We pay particular attention to those areas on recurring visits.
The marsh and scrub habitat north of SR-528 releases sawgrass, oak and Brazilian pepper pollen that works into every gap in a screen lanai. Merritt Island homes with large open-floor-plan interiors and lots of glass accumulate it on sills, ceiling fans, and furniture surfaces within days of a high-pollen event.
Screen rooms aren't part of a standard clean, but they can be added to any deep-clean or recurring visit. On your quote, note the square footage of the screen enclosure and we'll include it as a line item with its own pricing.
Newer builds with stamped concrete, LVP flooring, and quartz counters actually require lighter chemistry than older homes with original tile and grout — but they also have more open square footage that takes longer to thoroughly dust and mop. The quote adjusts for both, so you see the exact price before any crew arrives.
Almost nothing. Clear the counters and pick up whatever is lying around so we can actually reach the surfaces, stash anything fragile or valuable, and point us at what matters most (or at the rooms you'd rather we left alone). Products, equipment and the vacuum all arrive with the crew.
Yes — most of the Merritt Island homes we clean have pets. Just let us know about them when you book so your cleaner arrives ready, and secure any animal that gets anxious around new people or a running vacuum. We work around your pets and keep doors closed wherever that keeps them comfortable.
No. Give us the entry method that suits you — in North Merritt Island that is usually a gate code or a lockbox — and we follow it to the letter, then lock up when the visit is done. Recurring customers get the same cleaner whenever scheduling allows, so the same person holds the routine.
Nobody has to walk your house first. The written, guaranteed price arrives online in minutes, you book and pay securely through the same flow, and the number is locked before a cleaner is on the way. It is driven by bedrooms, bathrooms and add-ons, never by which of 32952, 32953 you are in.
Every clean is backed by our 24-hour Captain's Guarantee. If something isn't right, tell us within 24 hours and we'll come back and make it right at no extra charge. We would rather fix it than have you settle for anything less than done.
Yes. North Merritt Island and the other gated and HOA parts of Merritt Island are already on our route. Give us the check-in procedure when you book — gate code, guard instructions, vendor sign-in — and the cleaner follows it. We can also provide a certificate of insurance if the association requires one.
All three words land on the same visit. Captain Duster is a cleaning company: the house cleaners who walk into your Merritt Island home are our own background-checked W-2 employees, not contractors we referred you to. Search "maid service near Merritt Island, FL" or "house cleaners in Newfound Harbor" and you reach the same crew, the same included supplies and the same written price.
