Preparation for Your Cleaning

-Please tidy up your home as much as possible before our team arrives. Remove toys, clothes, and trash, and declutter surfaces to help our team focus on cleaning rather than tidying up.

-For recurring cleanings, clients are asked to provide a vacuum for the cleaning team to use. Make sure it's placed in an accessible location.

Pricing & Rates

-Initial Cleaning Pricing: If the home requires more time than originally estimated, we will inform you in advance and give you the option to either add additional hours or prioritize certain tasks.

-Recurring Service Pricing: Our recurring cleanings are offered at a flat rate. If we notice that the time required for each visit is consistently over or under the time paid for, we will discuss and adjust the rate accordingly.

-Rate Increases: We evaluate service rates annually and will inform you well in advance if any price adjustments are necessary.

Scheduling & Access

-Booking Services: Cleaning appointments can be scheduled via phone, email, or text message. A booking is not confirmed until you receive written confirmation from us (email/text).

-Home Access: You must provide access to your home via door codes, smart lock codes, or a key in a lockbox. If you are unable to be home during the cleaning, please arrange for access accordingly.

-Pets: For safety reasons, please secure any pets in a separate room or kennel during the service.

-Weather-Related Changes: In case of severe weather (snow, ice, etc.), we may need to reschedule. We will notify you promptly if that happens.

Cancellation & Rescheduling

-Cancellations: To avoid any charges, cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance. Late cancellations within 24 hours will incur a 50% charge of the booked service rate.

-No-Access Lockouts: If we arrive at the scheduled time and cannot access your home, the cleaning will be considered a lockout and charged at 100% of the booked service rate.

Satisfaction Guarantee

-If you are not satisfied with our service, please inform us within 24 hours. We offer a re-cleaning at no extra cost to ensure your home is cleaned to your satisfaction.

-We take your feedback seriously. If something is missed or not up to your expectations, we will work with you to correct it as quickly as possible.

Payment & Billing

-Payment Methods: We accept cash, credit cards, Zelle, and Venmo. Payment is due upon completion of the cleaning service.

-Late Payments: Payments not made on the service day will be subject to a late fee. A 24-hour grace period is allowed, after which a late fee of 4% will be applied to the outstanding balance.

Prepaid Services: For first-time or one-time services, full payment is required before the cleaning begins.

Damages & Liability

-We take great care while cleaning, but in the rare event of accidental damage, we will repair or replace the damaged item (up to the current market value). If the damage is due to pre-existing conditions or normal wear and tear, we are not liable.

-Please secure any fragile or high-value items before the cleaning service. We are not responsible for damage to unsecured or fragile items like crystal, antiques, or items stored in unsafe locations.

Cleaning Limitations

-We do not perform cleaning services outside the standard scope, such as heavy-duty cleaning, mold remediation, or pest control.

-Special requests, like using specific products or tools, must be communicated in advance. If the requested products are not safe for use, we will use our own eco-friendly products.

Client Presence During Service

-While clients may be present during the first cleaning, we recommend being absent for recurring cleanings to allow our team to work efficiently and uninterrupted.

-The Company is not responsible for any accidents or injuries that occur during the service if the client is present.

Feedback & Continuous Improvement

-We are always looking to improve. Please share your experience with us, and let us know if there’s anything that can be improved. Our goal is to provide the best service possible, and your feedback is an important part of that process.

 Additional Important Guidelines

Home Access & Security:

-The client must provide clear instructions for home access (e.g., door codes, lockbox instructions, or a smart lock code). If the property is not accessible during the scheduled time, the service may be treated as a lockout and subject to a fee.

-Security Cameras & Alarms: If there are security systems or cameras at the property, the client must disclose this information prior to the service. The team will respect privacy and will not work in areas where there’s a reasonable expectation of privacy (bathrooms, bedrooms).

Pets:

-For safety reasons, pets should be secured during the cleaning. If a pet’s behavior poses a risk to the staff, the service may be declined or rescheduled.

-We do not handle pet waste (litter boxes, cages, etc.), and cleaning of pet-related messes is not included.

Damage & Liability Clauses:

-The company is not liable for damage to unsecured or delicate items. We will work with clients to resolve any damage claims reported within 48 hours.

-We recommend securing valuables and fragile items before the cleaning begins.

Cancellations & Rescheduling:

-Late Cancellations: Cancelling within 24 hours of the scheduled time will incur a 50% charge. Same-day cancellations are subject to a 100% charge.

-Lockouts: If the team is unable to access the home, the full service charge will apply. Clients must ensure access is provided.

Service Time & Duration:

-Cleaning times may vary. If more time is needed, clients will be notified, and they will have the option to extend the service at the standard hourly rate.

Payment Terms:

-Late Fees: Payments not made on time will incur a 4% late fee after 24 hours. Clients are responsible for ensuring their payment method is current.

Weather & Safety:
