Understanding
We know you are opening your door to us and are wondering what to expect. We guarantee our work, and ask if you have any issues with the services that you understand we are human and can miss small things from time to time. Please let us know and we will gladly return to re-clean the missed area as soon as we can, without too much inconvenience to you.
Pets
Please place any dogs in a room that is not being cleaned or in a dog crate, while our
cleaners are in your home. This allows us to focus on your cleaning and allows us to deliver the best cleaning possible without distractions.
Clutter
For us to be able to clean at a consistent pace and to keep your cleaning affordable we ask that if there is more than 5 items in a specific place that needs to be dusted/ cleaned then please have the items picked up so we can keep a consistent pace and continue to offer these rates for your services. If there is an area with 5 or more items then we will simply dust/clean around them as best as possible and they will not be moved. Please note: We do not offer organising services at this time.
Extreme Clutter
We have found when we figure the time it would take to for us to clean major cluttered areas that it will not fit in most peoples budget to pay us, and we cannot handle these kind of tasks is an efficient matter, so have chosen not to offer them as a service that we can perform.
