At Bear Brothers Cleaning, we guarantee to leave your place Beary Clean, or we’ll come back and re-clean it for free. No questions asked within 24 hours.
This isn’t a policy buried in fine print. It’s a promise we’ve kept on every single job since day one, and it’s why over 1,000 customers trust us.
Booking with Bear Brothers is simple — just give us a call or text at 256-633-6332. Our team will walk you through your home’s needs, recommend the right service (standard clean, deep clean, recurring, move-in/out), and lock your preferred date and time on the spot. Most customers are booked in under 5 minutes.
Why do we book over the phone? Because every home is different, and a quick conversation lets us match you with the right service and the right cleaner — instead of guessing from a form. We’ve found this gives our customers a better experience from day one.
Payment is processed securely through Stripe with 256-bit SSL encryption. We accept all major credit and debit cards.
The Beary Clean Guarantee is our promise that every clean meets our standard — or we make it right, no questions asked.
If you’re not satisfied with any part of your clean, just let us know within 24 hours of your service. We’ll send a cleaner back out to re-clean the areas that didn’t meet your expectations at no additional cost. No paperwork, no debate, no awkward conversations.
We back this guarantee because we hold our cleaners to a high standard. Every one of our cleaners is vetted through a multi-step hiring process, follows our golden rules on every job, and is held accountable for the quality of their work. The guarantee exists because we expect to deliver — and on the rare occasion we don’t, we own it.
Just call or text us at 256-633-6332 within 24 hours of your clean, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Our cleaners take great care in your home, but on rare occasions accidents can happen. Here’s how we handle them:
If our cleaner accidentally breaks or damages something during a clean, we ask that you let us know within 48 hours of the service so we can investigate. Most issues can be resolved through repair, replacement, or fair-value reimbursement, depending on the item.
A few things to know:
If you believe something has been lost, please check the home thoroughly first — items often turn up in unexpected places. If you still believe an item is missing after a thorough search, contact us within 48 hours and we’ll work with you to investigate.
Our cleaners are independent contractors who carry their own insurance, and Bear Brothers carries general liability insurance to cover legitimate damage claims. To report an issue, just call or text us at 256-633-6332 and we’ll take care of it.
You don’t need to be home for the clean itself — most of our customers are at work, running errands, or out enjoying their day while we clean. Just let us know how to access your home (lockbox code, garage code, hidden key, etc.) and we’ll take care of the rest.
However, you do need to be present at the end of the clean for a post-clean walkthrough on any one-time or first-time clean for our Beary Clean Guarantee to apply.
The walkthrough takes just a few minutes. Our cleaner will walk you through the home so you can confirm everything meets your expectations before they leave. This protects both of us — you get to flag anything immediately while the cleaner is still on-site, and we get to make it right on the spot rather than scheduling a re-clean later.
For recurring cleans (after your first clean), walkthroughs are not required. By that point we know your home, your preferences, and your standards — and you’ve established trust with our team.
Our payment process is designed to protect both you and our cleaners — and it works a little differently depending on the type of service.
We place a hold on your card 24 hours before the scheduled clean to confirm funds are available. You won’t be charged at this point — it’s just a temporary hold to ensure everything is ready to go.
First-Time Cleans, Deep Cleans, and Move-In/Move-Out Cleans
Your card is officially charged after one of two things happens:
This protects you on first-time cleans because if something isn’t right during the walkthrough, we make it right before the charge goes through.
Recurring Cleans
Once you’re an established recurring customer, your card is charged automatically after each completed clean. By that point we know your home and your standards, and the trust has been established — so there’s no need for the post-clean confirmation step.
Payment Security
All payments are processed securely through Stripe using 256-bit SSL encryption. We accept all major credit and debit cards.
Please allow for an hour arrival window from the start of your scheduled appointment. Cleaners can occasionally run a few minutes late due to traffic, prior job timing, or weather — the one-hour window builds in flexibility so you don’t need to worry if they aren’t there at the exact minute.
If your cleaner still hasn’t arrived within an hour of your scheduled start time, please call us at 256-633-6332 and we’ll track them down immediately.
We do our best to communicate proactively if a cleaner is running behind, but a quick call is the fastest way to get an answer if you haven’t heard from us.
We don’t issue refunds — instead, we stand behind every clean with our Beary Clean Guarantee.
If something isn’t right with your service, just let us know within 24 hours and we’ll send a cleaner back out to re-clean the areas that didn’t meet your expectations at no additional cost. This protects both you and our cleaners — you get the clean you paid for, and our team gets the chance to make it right.
We’ve found that the re-clean approach works better than refunds for everyone. You end up with a clean home (which is what you wanted in the first place), and we maintain the high standards we hold our cleaners to.
To request a re-clean under the Beary Clean Guarantee, just call or text us at 256-633-6332 within 24 hours of your service.
To keep our cleaners safe and our quality consistent, there are some things we don’t clean. If you have a service that falls into one of these categories, just let us know and we can recommend a specialty provider.
Safety-related exclusions:
Outside our scope:
Best-effort areas:
If something on this list is essential to your job, let us know during booking — we may be able to make exceptions or refer you to a trusted partner.
Our cleaners are independent contractors who bring their own equipment and supplies to every job. To support consistent quality across all of our cleans, we provide them with a recommended cleaning kit that covers the tools and products needed for a thorough residential clean.
The recommended kit includes:
Because our cleaners are independent contractors, they retain discretion over the specific products and methods they use to complete each job. The recommended kit reflects our standards for quality and safety, but each cleaner brings their own preferred tools and supplies based on their experience.
If you have specific product preferences (e.g., fragrance-free, eco-friendly, pet-safe), let us know during booking and we’ll do our best to match you with a cleaner whose supplies fit your needs.
We ask that you give us at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This gives our cleaners time to adjust their schedules and ensures we can offer your time slot to other customers.
Cancellations or reschedules made within 24 hours of your appointment may be subject to a $50 cancellation fee. This fee exists because our cleaners plan their day around your booking — when a job cancels last-minute, they lose income they were counting on.
To cancel or reschedule, just call or text us at 256-633-6332 as soon as you know your plans have changed. The earlier you let us know, the easier it is for everyone.

Bear Brothers Cleaning serves homeowners, military families, vacation rental hosts, and businesses in Fort Walton Beach, Florida — the heart of Okaloosa County and one of the most varied cleaning markets on the Emerald Coast. Fort Walton Beach isn’t one kind of town. It’s three at once: a military community anchored by Hurlburt Field and the broader Eglin Air Force Base footprint, a year-round residential city of established neighborhoods, and a Gulf-front tourism market with vacation rentals and condos lining Okaloosa Island. Each of those brings a different kind of cleaning demand, and we’re built to handle all three under one roof.
What ties our work together across all of them is the thing most cleaning companies can’t promise: consistency you can count on, with accountability when something goes wrong. Every clean is backed by our Beary Clean Guarantee — if something isn’t right within 24 hours, we come back and reclean it free, no argument. That matters more here than almost anywhere, because the people who need cleaning in Fort Walton Beach are often working against a hard deadline: a base housing inspection, a guest checking in, a closing date. A clean that’s “mostly done” isn’t done.
We also cover nearby Destin just east, Crestview to the north, and the full 30A corridor — so owners and managers with property across the area run through one team.
Fort Walton Beach sits at the center of the Emerald Coast’s busiest stretch — bordered by Hurlburt Field to the west, connected to Okaloosa Island and the Gulf by the Brooks Bridge, and tied into Eglin Air Force Base and the regional economy by U.S. 98. That geography is why the cleaning market here doesn’t behave like a single-purpose town. Understanding which of the three markets you’re in is the difference between a clean that fits your situation and a generic pass that doesn’t.
The military market. Hurlburt Field, home to Air Force Special Operations Command, sits right at Fort Walton Beach, and Eglin’s footprint is minutes away. That means a constant cycle of families arriving and leaving on PCS orders. Move-out cleaning here isn’t occasional — it’s a core, year-round demand, and it carries a specific standard: the property has to pass a base housing inspection or a landlord’s final walk-through. We clean move-outs to that standard — detailed kitchens, bathrooms scrubbed thoroughly, baseboards, blinds, inside cabinets, behind and around appliances, floors throughout — and we schedule around PCS timelines and tight checkout windows. Move-in cleans run the same deep scope on the front end, so a family arriving in Fort Walton Beach steps into a genuinely clean home before the household goods truck unloads.
The residential market. Beyond the bases, Fort Walton Beach is a city of established year-round neighborhoods — families, retirees, dual-income households along the U.S. 98 corridor and through the older parts of town. Our standard recurring clean runs a 33-step checklist across kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, hallways, and stairs: making beds, dusting blinds and window sills, wiping baseboards, dusting furniture and light fixtures within reach, mopping and vacuuming, sanitizing bathrooms, cleaning sinks and countertops, wiping appliance exteriors, emptying and wiping trash cans, and general straightening throughout. We offer weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly plans, and we assign the same cleaner to your home whenever possible — so you’re not re-explaining how you like things done to a new face every visit.
The vacation rental market. Okaloosa Island and the Gulf-front condos turn over constantly through peak season, and reviews on Airbnb and VRBO hinge on cleanliness more than any other single factor. We work fast turnovers — same-day when needed — and handle the specifics that make a property guest-ready: stripping and remaking beds with fresh linens, restocking consumables when supplied, staging towels, clearing forgotten food, removing beach gear, and catching the details that sink a first impression — smudged sliders, sand under rugs, fingerprints on glass. Our vacation rental cleaning workflow is built for short-term rental hosts and the management companies that handle them.
That covers what we clean. The reason to choose us over the established names is how we stand behind it. The most common complaint about large cleaning operations in this market — and it’s worth saying plainly — is inconsistency: a great clean one visit, a rushed one the next, depending on which crew showed up, with no real recourse when a clean falls short. We’re built against that. Walk-throughs are part of the process. The same cleaner is assigned to recurring homes wherever possible. And the Beary Clean Guarantee isn’t fine print — if a clean isn’t right and you tell us within 24 hours, we come back and redo it at no charge. For a move-out clean racing an inspection deadline or a turnover before a guest checks in, that accountability is the entire point.
Deep cleans go past the standard scope into the detail work — grout, vent covers, ceiling fans, behind appliances, inside cabinets, and the spots a routine visit doesn’t reach — ideal for a seasonal reset, a long-neglected home, or a property getting listed. Post-construction cleanup is its own scope, clearing drywall dust, paint, sawdust, and adhesive residue after new builds and renovations.
On the commercial side, Fort Walton Beach’s role as the county’s commercial hub means a real base of businesses — offices along U.S. 98 and around Uptown Station, retail, medical and dental practices, restaurants, and the service businesses supporting both the military and tourism economies. We handle office, retail, restaurant, and general commercial cleaning scheduled around your operating hours.
Whether your home is near Hurlburt Field, in an established neighborhood off U.S. 98, on Okaloosa Island, or anywhere across Fort Walton Beach and Okaloosa County, we cover it.
Bear Brothers Cleaning operates as a referral agency connecting homeowners and businesses with vetted, professional independent contractors. Every cleaner on our platform is screened, background-checked, and trained on our 33-step house cleaning checklist. What separates us in Fort Walton Beach specifically isn’t a slogan — it’s accountability. The most common frustration with cleaning services in this market is inconsistency: quality that swings depending on which crew shows up, and no real recourse when a clean falls short of what you’re paying for. Our model is built the other way. Walk-throughs are part of the process. The same cleaner is assigned to recurring homes whenever possible. And every clean is backed by the Beary Clean Guarantee — if something isn’t right within 24 hours, we come back and reclean it at no charge, no argument. For a military family racing a base housing inspection, a host turning a unit before check-in, or a homeowner prepping for a closing, that guarantee is the difference between a service you can rely on and one you have to supervise. Booking is handled online through our secure platform with Stripe payment processing, and we work with military families, renters, homeowners, landlords, hosts, and businesses across Fort Walton Beach and Okaloosa County.
The honest answer is accountability and consistency. The most common complaint about cleaning services in this market is that quality swings depending on which crew shows up, and that there’s no real fix when a clean falls short. We’re built against that: walk-throughs are part of the process, the same cleaner is assigned to recurring homes whenever possible, and every clean is backed by the Beary Clean Guarantee — if it’s not right within 24 hours, we come back and reclean it free. For a move-out racing an inspection or a turnover before check-in, a clean you can rely on without supervising it is the whole point.
Yes. Move-out cleaning is one of our highest-volume services in Fort Walton Beach because of the military community at Hurlburt Field and Eglin. We clean to inspection standard — detailed kitchens, bathrooms scrubbed thoroughly, baseboards, blinds, inside cabinets, behind appliances, and floors throughout — so the property passes a base housing checkout or a landlord’s final walk-through. We schedule around PCS timelines and tight move-out windows, and the Beary Clean Guarantee means a clean that misses something gets fixed before your deadline, not after.
You can get a quote and book online through our website in a few minutes. Select your service type, enter your home size by bedrooms and bathrooms, choose any add-on services, and pick your date. The whole process is handled online, so there’s no waiting on a callback or a manual estimate.
Yes. Okaloosa Island condos and Gulf-front rentals turn over constantly through peak season, and we work tight checkout-to-check-in windows — same-day when needed. We strip and remake beds with fresh linens, restock consumables when you supply them, stage the property, and catch the details guests notice. We work with individual hosts, property managers, and rental management companies across the island and the FWB area.
The independent contractors who clean through Bear Brothers carry their own insurance coverage. More importantly for you, every clean is backed by the Beary Clean Guarantee — if something is missed or unsatisfactory, we return and reclean at no charge, as long as you notify us within 24 hours. That guarantee is the practical protection most customers actually care about.
Yes. We offer weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly recurring plans. Recurring cleaning is popular here with dual-income households and military families managing deployments and demanding schedules. Most households land on bi-weekly, and we assign the same cleaner to your home whenever possible — so you’re not retraining a new person on how you like things done every visit.
Yes. We handle final-phase post-construction cleanup — clearing drywall dust, paint splatter, sawdust, adhesive residue, and debris so the home is genuinely move-in ready. We work with builders, developers, and homeowners taking handoff of a new build.
We cover Fort Walton Beach and the surrounding Okaloosa County area, plus Destin just east, Crestview to the north, and the full 30A corridor. If you’re relocating between Fort Walton Beach and another Emerald Coast address — common with military moves — the same team can handle both ends.
Our standard clean runs a 33-step checklist across kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, hallways, and stairs: mopping, vacuuming, dusting, making beds, cleaning toilets and showers, wiping kitchen appliances and counters, emptying trash, dusting blinds and window sills, dusting light fixtures within reach, and general straightening. Deep cleans, move-out cleans, and post-construction cleans go further into baseboards, behind appliances, inside cabinets, and detail work a standard visit doesn’t cover.
Book directly through our website. Select your service type, enter your home size by bedrooms and bathrooms, choose any add-on services, pick your date, and pay securely through Stripe. The whole process takes a few minutes.
Yes. For homes 2,500 square feet or larger, we send a team of two cleaners to hold quality and finish in a reasonable window. For landlords and property managers turning multiple units — common with the military rental market here — we set up routing and scheduling that covers the full portfolio under one point of contact.
