Our cleaning services focus on providing a thorough and professional experience within certain boundaries for health and safety. We do not clean outdoor spaces, garages, balconies, or any exterior areas of the home. Additionally, we avoid biohazard materials, including chemical or biological waste, mold, and anything involving rodents or their droppings. We also do not clean the internal parts of machines such as dishwashers, washing machines, and stove hoods. If extreme clutter or undisclosed conditions that fall into these categories are present upon arrival, our cleaners reserve the right to decline service after inspection.
-
The duration of a cleaning session can vary depending on multiple factors:
The size and condition of the home: Factors such as when the home was last cleaned professionally and how well it has been maintained between cleanings can impact the amount of time and effort required for cleaning.
Additional services requested: Services like deep cleaning, cleaning baseboards, oven or fridge interiors, and wet wiping blinds add extra time based on the specific requests.
Cleaning team efficiency: Our cleaning teams work at different speeds, and we utilize flat rate pricing to ensure thorough and unrushed cleaning. Each home and cleaning team are unique, and spending more time doesn't always equate to better results. Therefore, we don't charge hourly rates but focus on completing tasks effectively.
Typically, a standard cleaning for most homes takes between 2-4 hours with one cleaner.
While this is an average estimate, it's important to note that individual homes may vary. For more precise planning, we are happy to provide a possible time range through phone or email communication. Our goal is to ensure clarity and satisfaction with our services.
-
In order to ensure a seamless and hassle-free experience for our clients, your card will be charged AFTER the appointment is completed. However, please note that our system will place a 24-hour hold on your card before the scheduled service time to ensure that funds are available.
-
Certainly! We provide discounts for customers who opt for recurring services, as frequent visits make cleaning more efficient over time. Regular cleaning not only maintains a healthier and more pleasant living environment but also prevents the buildup of dirt and grime, leading to easier and more effective cleaning in the future. The discounts offered are as follows:
Monthly: 10% Off
Bi-Weekly: 15% Off
Weekly: 20% Off
-
We understand the importance of establishing a relationship with the individuals who work in your home, especially for recurring visits. We make every effort to assign the same cleaner(s) to your appointments whenever possible. However, please note that our cleaners are human beings, and while we strive for consistency, there may be occasions when a different cleaner is assigned due to factors like vacations, illness, or career changes.
Rest assured though, our cleaning professionals undergo thorough vetting and are highly skilled individuals you can trust. If there ever is a need to switch cleaners and we are unable to reach you for instructions via phone, text or email, we will assign the best available cleaner(s) from our team for your scheduled date and time.
-
No, you are not required to be home during the cleaning. Many of our clients choose to provide access to their home while they are away. You can leave a key, provide an access code, or arrange another method for our cleaners to enter. To inform us about how to access your home, simply leave a note when booking the appointment online or let us know over the phone during the scheduling process. Rest assured, our team is professional and trustworthy. If you prefer to be home during the cleaning, that’s perfectly fine as well. We aim to accommodate your preferences and schedule.
-
We strive to ensure our cleaners arrive promptly for every appointment. We understand the importance of your time and schedule our cleanings to allow for timely arrivals. While we make every effort to be punctual, we do include a buffer time of an hour between appointments to account for any unforeseen delays, such as traffic or weather. If there is ever a delay exceeding the buffer time, we will communicate with you promptly to keep you informed. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we are committed to providing reliable and timely service.
-
Typically, we assign a single cleaner to your home. However, for homes over approximately 2,500 square feet or those with selected add-ons that require longer cleaning hours, we will send multiple cleaners. If you have specific preferences regarding the number of cleaning professionals or need expedited service, please inform us by adding a note during online booking or letting us know over the phone. We are always happy to accommodate your needs to ensure a successful cleaning experience.

For safety reasons, we do not clean behind heavy appliances such as the fridge and stove. One of the primary concerns is the risk of injury or damage to appliances. However, if you move the appliances before we arrive, our cleaners will be happy to tackle those areas first. Once cleaned, you can move the appliances back so our cleaners can continue with the rest of the clean without any obstructions. Please let us know in advance if you plan to move the appliances so we can ensure a thorough cleaning.
-
You can cancel or reschedule your appointment at any time, though we kindly ask for a minimum of 48 hours' notice if possible.

We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, and we aim to remain flexible whenever feasible. Your cooperation in providing ample notice is greatly appreciated and contributes to maintaining efficient service for all our clients.

To achieve the best cleaning results, we recommend reducing clutter as much as possible before your appointment.

Your cooperation in decluttering before the appointment is greatly appreciated and helps us deliver the best service possible.

Our cleaners love pets and understand how important they are to your family. To ensure their safety and allow us to clean efficiently, it's best to keep pets in a separate area during the appointment. This way, our cleaners can focus on their work without distractions or potential hazards. Providing a quiet space for your pets to relax helps create a stress-free experience for both them and our team.

If you accidentally miss or forget to select Add-Ons during the booking process, we can still accommodate them during the cleaning for the same listed Add-On price. These will be invoiced and charged shortly after the cleaning is completed.
For recurring cleans, it's important to note that you will need to manually select the Add-Ons for each appointment, as preferences can vary from one cleaning to the next. This approach ensures that you only pay for the services you need when you need them, providing flexibility and customization for your cleaning schedule.
