If your home hasn't been professionally cleaned recently or needs a more thorough reset, a Deep Cleaning may be the better starting point.

In some situations, yes. Quotes are based on the information provided at the time of booking. If the condition of the home is significantly different from what was represented, the price may need to be adjusted. If an adjustment is necessary, you'll be contacted before additional work is performed. No additional work will be performed until the updated price has been agreed upon.

f the home arrives at a condition that differs significantly from the information provided during booking, the cleaning professional may document the condition and contact our team. We'll then review the situation with you and discuss any necessary price adjustment before proceeding.

If an updated price is necessary and you decide not to proceed, the appointment may be canceled and the applicable cancellation policy will apply.

How do I pay for my cleaning?

How should I prepare my home before the cleaner arrives?

The best way to prepare is to reduce unnecessary clutter as much as possible. Clear surfaces and walkways allow the cleaner to access more areas of your home and spend more time actually cleaning.

For the safety and efficiency of everyone involved, we recommend keeping children and pets away from the areas being cleaned whenever possible. Having fewer interruptions allows the cleaner to work efficiently and helps prevent new messes from being created after an area has already been cleaned.
