What is your pricing structure for cleaning services?
We believe in offering transparent and competitive pricing for our cleaning services. Every home and business is unique, and so we provide customized quotes tailored to your specific needs. This will allow for us to account for rooms, the level of cleaning required, and any additional services you may request. This will be included in your free consultation and you can also call or text for a free quote!
We also offer additional services. Things like window cleaning, carpet cleaning, etc. can be added to your cleaning service as needed and will be priced as an add-on.

What if I need to reschedule or cancel my appointment?

Cancellation and reschedule policy: If you need to cancel your cleaning appointment, we kindly ask you to provide us with as much notice as possible. We would appreciate at least 24 hours in advance in order to adjust our schedules accordingly. This goes for rescheduling an appointment, as well.

What is your policy regarding pets?
We are a pet friendly cleaning service and welcome your furry friends. Our team members are comfortable and experienced in working around pets and take precautions to ensure their safety.
We do ask that you inform us about any and all pets in the home. This will allow us to make the necessary preparations and to maintain a safe environment.
If your pet is anxious or stressed around unfamiliar people, we recommend securing them in a separate room or area during the cleaning session. This is just to prevent any accidental escapes or interference during the cleaning process. Please let us know in advance of your pet’s behaviors!
-
Do I need to be home when you come to clean?
We understand that our customers have busy lives! Communication, once again, is key! Our policy regarding this question:
Trust and flexibility: We are flexible and give you the choice to be present or not during the cleaning session. Many of our clients find it convenient and comfortable to give access to their homes or offices and let our professionals clean while they are attending other commitments.
Key or access arrangements: if you choose not to be home, we will make previous arrangements with you for key access. Rest assured that your keys and access information will be securely managed and only used by our trusted cleaning team on the scheduled cleaning day.
We strive to make the cleaning experience as convenient and hassle free as possible for our valued clients. If you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to reach out.
-
How long does a typical cleaning session take?
The duration of a cleaning session can vary depending on several factors, including size of your home or business, current condition and the scope of cleaning requested. We prefer to be fast and efficient with our time. A typical house takes around 1.5-2 hours, although this is just an estimate.
The initial cleaning will typically require a more thorough cleaning which may take longer. Regular maintenance cleanings, however, tend to be done quicker. Additional services may add time to your cleaning session.
-
Do I need to provide cleaning supplies?
Yes, we kindly ask that our clients provide the necessary cleaning supplies for our cleaning session and here is why:
Familiarity with your preferences: this will ensure that we meet your specific needs. Whether it be certain brands, smells or eco-friendliness, we are happy to accommodate those choices.
Maintaining hygiene: we can minimize any potential cross contamination that could occur by using the same supplies in multiple homes or businesses.
Cost effective: by providing us your own cleaning supplies, this will allow us to keep our prices competitive and affordable.
We recommend having the following cleaning supplies for our team (do not stress if you do not have all of these!):
All purpose cleaner
Glass cleaner
Bathroom cleaner
Kitchen cleaner
Floor cleaner
Rags or cloths
Sponges or scrub brushes
Mop or vacuum cleaner
Broom and dustpan
If there are any specific tools or supplies you would like us to use or avoid, please let us know during your initial consultation! If you need us to provide certain cleaning supplies, please communicate that with us and we will work something out!
