How much does it cost to have my home cleaned?2024-01-16T23:34:05+00:00

The cost depends on a variety of factors, including the size and unique characteristics of your home, the presence of pet hair, the level of clutter, the planned frequency of cleanings, and the cleaning Task List agreed upon when we collaborate to create your Cleaning Plan. Every situation is different, so we prepare an individualized estimate and Cleaning Plan for every client after visiting their home and discussing their cleaning requirements in detail. We also give estimates for commercial cleaning, and for special cleaning projects including Spring Cleaning, Move-in/Move-out Cleaning, Last-minute (Emergency) Cleaning, and Construction Cleanups. We provide free consultations and a no-obligation quote.

Do I need to sign a contract?2024-01-16T23:34:19+00:00

No. You don’t need to sign a contract. Our client relationships are “at will” which means we must earn your trust and your continuing loyalty by ensuring your satisfaction with every visit. If you are not completely satisfied you can leave us at any time.

How should I prepare for a cleaning service?2024-01-16T23:34:37+00:00

To help make us more efficient, we ask that you pick up clothing, toys and general household clutter prior to our visit. We also ask you to remove dirty dishes from countertops. Tidying up beforehand is greatly appreciated and also prevents us from accidentally putting away stray objects in the wrong location.

Do I need to provide any cleaning supplies or equipment?2024-01-16T23:34:53+00:00

No. Our crew comes fully prepared with all the supplies and equipment necessary. However, if requested and provided, we are happy to clean with your preferred products.

Do I need to be home during house cleanings?2024-01-16T23:35:11+00:00

No. Most of our clients are at work or choose to run errands while we clean, and they enjoy returning home to a freshly cleaned house. You don’t need to be present, but you do need to give us access to your property. Most clients entrust us to hold a key, which, for security reasons, is coded, secured at our office, and handled only by cleaning team leaders for scheduled appointments. Some clients give us the code for their garage door, or leave a key for us under the mat, in the mailbox, or in some other pre-arranged location where we can return the key when we depart. We are flexible to accommodate different situations. If you have a security system, please make necessary arrangements to give us access on your scheduled day. Some clients establish a guest code or temporary code in their security system for our cleaning staff.

Do I need to set up a recurring service schedule, or can I simply call you when I need a cleaning?2024-01-16T23:35:26+00:00

Most clients set up a recurring service schedule but we are happy to accommodate stand-alone appointment requests depending on availability. We recommend booking at least three days in advance. Please note that Thursdays and Fridays are our most popular days, and they fill up pretty quickly.

What if something is damaged during a home cleaning?2024-01-16T23:35:43+00:00

What if I have pets?2024-01-16T23:36:18+00:00

No problem! Our cleaners love pets and work safely around them. If you have an aggressive pet, or a pet that likes to escape into the outdoors, we ask that you secure the pet in an area of your house where we will not be working prior to our arrival.

Am I liable for worker’s compensation, insurance or employment taxes?2024-01-16T23:36:35+00:00
