FAQ
WILL I HAVE THE SAME CLEANING CREW EVERY TIME?
Upon request we will make every effort to have the same cleaning service team every time. Occasionally, when one or both of your cleaning professionals is ill, on vacation or has a day off we try to send at least one of the professionals from your team with a substitute. Please keep in mind that all of our personnel are highly trained so they all use consistent cleaning techniques.
CAN I USE YOU ONLY ONCE OR OCCASIONALLY?
Absolutely, most of our business is based on regular cleanings (weekly or bi-monthly). We also provide spring cleaning, move in/move out cleanings and before or after party cleanings. We clean whenever you need us to do so. Give us a chance; try us once for a fill-in and we are confident you´ll love us
SHOULD I TIP MY MAIDS?
A tip is neither required nor implied. It is appreciated because it´s indicating you liked their hard work.
IS THERE A CANCELLATION FEE FOR CANCELLING MY APPOINTMENT?
We would greatly appreciate a 48-hour notice for any rescheduling. We understand emergencies do arise unexpectedly but our business incurs losses when appointments are not canceled on a timely manner. There will be a $125.00 cancellation fee for all appointments canceled less than 24 hours before scheduled service. This fee will apply if maids show up at your home and cannot be let in. There will also be a cancellation fee for utilities (water and electricity) not being on for move-in/out cleanings.
WHAT IF I FORGET MY CLEANING APPOINTMENT DAY?
If requested, we can gladly send you a reminder a couple of days before the cleaning. We give you the option of email or text, whichever works best for you. If you need to cancel an appointment, we ask that you cancel 24 hours before the cleaning to avoid a cancellation fee.
DO I NEED TO PROVIDE THE CLEANING SUPPLIES?
No, we will provide all the necessary supplies. However, if you have special products you will like us to use we will be happy to use your supplies
DO YOU REQUIRE CONTRACTS?
