We will also send you an email reminder 4 days before each cleaning and a text message 2 days prior with the estimated arrival time and the name of the employee/s assigned to your home. The cleaning technician will arrive within a one hour arrival window. For example, if the arrival time is 1 p.m., the cleaner may arrive as early as 12:30 or as late as 1:30 p.m. to begin cleaning. This will help account for extra time needed at a prior clean or any traffic delays.

What if I forget to give entry access?2023-05-09T08:30:17-04:00

If you are not home and have not provided access information in advance, we will contact you and request a way to enter. If the cleaning technician cannot gain access or is turned away at the door, we will charge you a lockout fee up to 50% of the full cost of the cleaning to compensate our cleaning technicians for the lost time.

What if I have an alarm system?2023-05-09T08:30:18-04:00

During you call to schedule service we will ask if you have an alarm and the details to disarm and alarm the system. This will be in your secure notes for your home. We also suggest turning off your alarm the day of service, as we do not want to burden police or security with false alarms, which are stressful for the technicians and security services.

How do the cleaners get in if I’m not home?2023-05-09T08:30:18-04:00

When our office schedule your service they will ask for any special instructions for entering the home on a regular basis, or what to do if you are not home. We do ask that homeowners have the ability to provide a hidden key location, lock box code, garage code, or smart lock code. We try not to use keys to prevent any misplacement of keys and allow us to send a different technician if your regular tech happens to be off or ill the day of your service.

Can you clean everything?2023-05-09T08:30:19-04:00

Our technicians work hard to make your home sparkling, however there are some limits to what we can do with set-in stains, such as fabrics, wood, shower doors, bathtubs, grout, countertops, etc. If your home has hard water with a high mineral content, it may have created permanent mineral stains or build-up, especially in the bathroom and kitchen. While we will do our best, we cannot guarantee removal of all hard water deposits. In addition, there are some things that we do not clean including handwashing of blinds (these are dusted only, due to damage washing can cause), hand cleaning of lights or fixtures over the height of a 2 step ladder, garage cleaning, or wall cleaning. If you have any questions about something in particular please contact our office.

What do I need to do to get ready?2023-05-09T08:30:20-04:00

Before we arrive, please pick up excess clutter, move any fragile items out of the way, and empty the sinks so that our cleaning technicians can safely access all the surfaces in your home. Please ensure that the technician can get into the home. Please secure any pets if they like to escape or are aggressive. Please place linens on the edge of any beds the techs may be stripping and making. During the warmer months, it is important that our technicians be able to work in safe temperatures. Please set your temperature to 77 degrees or under while techs are in your home. This will help us provide a seamless experience for you.
