Terms and Conditions

CLEANING SERVICE AGREEMENT

Acceptance of Terms

By using our website to arrange cleaning services, you are expressing your agreement to be legally bound by these terms and conditions. If you disagree with any part of these terms, please do not book our services.

Booking Confirmation

Booking services online does not immediately confirm your chosen date and time. You will receive either an email or a phone call with a confirmation of your booking.

To secure your cleaning date and time, a $70 deposit will be required. This deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE but will be credited towards the total cost of your cleaning.

A minimum of 24 HOURS NOTICE is required (to ensure our cleaners have jobs lined up for the following day and to allow us time to arrange for replacement work in case of cancellation or rescheduling).

Failure to provide 24 hours notice before your scheduled appointment will result in the $70 booking fee automatically becoming a cancellation fee, meaning you will need to pay another deposit when booking again.

Clients may reschedule their cleaning appointment up to 24 hours before the scheduled time, with a maximum of 5 reschedules. Rescheduling more than 5 times will result in the loss of the $70 deposit, and it will automatically become a cancellation fee.

Cleaning Crew

Our teams usually consist of two members, but occasionally more may be required due to complex work or busy schedules. We aim to limit changes in the cleaning team assigned to your home while providing adequate training to our cleaning technicians.

All our employees have been subjected to thorough background checks and drug tests. You can trust in the integrity of our staff.

Right to Refuse Service

We may refuse or terminate service for safety reasons, inappropriate or uncomfortable circumstances, weapons on premises, severe clutter, or disconnected utilities.

Our employees may leave if the home is extremely unsanitary or if they feel unsafe/threatened. If you book a cleaning that is considered unreasonable, our team may refuse service, and you will be charged a cancellation fee.

Cleaning Day Preparation

The quoted price for cleaning assumes that the cleaners can focus solely on cleaning. We request that you spend a few minutes tidying up to facilitate access to the areas that need cleaning. Should you need our cleaners to perform these tasks, please contact our office to adjust the cleaning fee accordingly.

Service Fees

Prices are determined based on our extensive experience. However, we may need to adjust the price based on the actual condition of the house. Should the job require more time, we will inform you in advance to avoid surprises.

We reserve the right to reevaluate rates at any time if the cleaning time varies significantly from the original estimate.

Payments

Payment is due on the day of cleaning via check, cash, or credit card.

Refund Policy

We do not offer refunds but strive to provide excellent service. If we miss anything, please inform us within 24 hours, and we will correct the error at no additional cost.

Recurring Service Discount

Rate Increases

Rates may be adjusted due to changes in the frequency of service or changes in the home or living situation. Annual rate increases shall not exceed 8% of the current rate.

Lockouts

If our team is locked out of your home, we will make efforts to contact you for entry. If contact is not made within 20 minutes of arrival, the cleaning will be skipped, and you will be charged a $70 late cancellation fee. To avoid this fee, provide us with a key or code for entry.

Rescheduling & Cancellations

Please give us a minimum of 24-hour notice to cancel or reschedule to avoid a $70 cancellation fee.
