TERMS & CONDITIONS

Health and Safety Due to health and safety reasons, we are unable to clean up human, pest (flea and rodent infestations, etc.) or pet waste and bodily fluids. We can recommend a company that is equipped to handle these situations. If we come into a home that requires this type of cleaning we will skip the affected rooms and discount the client accordingly. We do ask to be informed beforehand if this may be an issue.
We do not climb higher than a 3-step ladder. We do use extension poles for higher items that need dusting and cobwebbing. Cleaning Techs are required to wear closed toed, non-skid shoes while cleaning.

3 Strike Policy

We understand that life happens. Things come up that you may not be able to plan for. For this reason, we have established a policy that allows for some wiggle room. We require 2 business days notice to cancel an appointment without penalty. There will be a 50% cancelation fee for the second occurrence. If you do not give us this notification three times, service will be suspended. This also applies to LOCKOUTS, meaning that we are not able to access your home on the scheduled day. We strongly recommend and provide free of cost a coded company lockbox that can be installed in a discreet location on the exterior of the home. That way, there will be no incident of missing hide a keys, forgetting to leave the door unlocked, etc. Schedules are always confirmed via text or email before initial service is started. Please note that Monthly cleanings run on an every 4 week rotation and depending on how the schedule falls, there will occasionally be 2 cleanings in one month. Please add the cleaning schedule to your calendar as we are not able to give courtesy reminder calls each time.
