POLICY AND PROCEDURES
Cleaning Crew
We always work with teams of two, but occasionally more cleaners may be needed due to the complexity of work or busy schedule.
We do our best to limit rotation of cleaners in your home while still providing sufficient cross-training to our cleaning technicians.
Our employees have been rigorously background screened and drug tested prior to working with us. You can rest assured all our staff has integrity and is held accountable.
Right to Refuse Service
We reserve the right to deny and (or) terminate service because of safety concerns, inappropriate or uncomfortable situations, weapons on-premises, severe clutter, and disconnected utilities.
Our employees have the choice to leave if the home is in an extremely unsanitary condition or they feel unsafe or threatened.
If you book a cleaning that is unreasonable, the cleaners may refuse service on the spot and you will be charged the cancellation fee
Cleaning Day Preparation
Your price for cleaning is based on the cleaners focusing all of their time on cleaning.Therefore, we ask that you take a few minutes to tidy up to allow the cleaners easy access to the areas and surfaces to be cleaned, including floors, counter-tops, tabletops, etc.
If you’d like our cleaners to do these tasks for you, call the offi ce in advance so your cleaning fee can be adjusted for the additional time.
Pets
We will gladly work around pets, but we ask that indoor activity is limited for cleaning efficiency and safety reasons. If your pet becomes anxious or presents a safety concern, reserve the right to remove its employees from your home.
Our employees are instructed not to enter a house if they believe an animal is a threat. Pets may behave differently if a family member is not present.
If removal of our cleaning technician is due to aggressive pets, our cancellation policy will apply
Service Fees
Please remember we give these instant prices based on years of experience, but we may adjust the price based on the actual condition of the house.
To ensure there are no surprises at the end, if we arrive to nd a job that will require extra time, we’ll call to let you know. If we are unable to reach you, the crew will have to leave and you will be charged the cancellation fee.
We reserve the right to reevaluate rates at any time based on the time it takes to perform our service to meet the client’s standards. will contact the client to discuss price or service revisions if the cleaning time differs drastically from the original bid.
Payments

We do not offer refunds. We have built our business to provide our clients with the best possible service available. Still, we realize that we are human, and from time to time things will get missed. Should this happen, email or call us within 24 hours and we will rectify the error at no charge
Recurring Service Discount
Recurring discounts start AFTER the first cleaning service. If you skip cleaning so that your cleaning’s frequency is lower than what you were set up for, your price will be increased to the pricing level for the lower frequency.
Rate Increases
Cleaning rate adjustments may be made at any time during the year should there be changes to the frequency of client’s established service schedule or home or living situation: remodel, change of address, number of people living in the home, a significant addition of furniture, etc.
Customer rate shall be increased annually by an amount not-to-exceed 8% of client’s current rate.
Lockouts
Clients shall make the service location accessible to personnel on the scheduled service day.
If the team is locked out of the client’s home, every effort will be made to establish contact with the client to arrange for entry to the home. If contact is not made within 20 minutes of the arrival of the cleaning team, the scheduled cleaning will be skipped and you will be charged a $70 late cancellation fee. This fee is necessary to compensate the employees for unexpected lost revenue and travel time. To avoid the fee, please provide us with a key or code to gain entry to your home.
Rescheduling & Cancellation
Service reliability is extremely important because we reserve a time especially for you. We request that you give us a minimum of 24 hours advance notice if you need to cancel or reschedule for any reason to avoid incurring a $70 cancellation fee.

If the code should change, please let us know so you do not incur a lockout charge.
