In order to provide you with the best possible service, please:

​

• Make your home accessible.

  • By providing a unique door code or lockbox code. A fee will be charged if we are unable to access your home. (see lockout policy below)

We are happy to offer this service if needed, but you must call ahead of your cleaning so we can schedule the additional time. Any additional time accrued by our team will be charged at our current hourly rate in fifteen minute increments.

• Have your home picked up and ready to be cleaned. Hourly charges may be incurred if cleaning technicians require more time if your home is not ready to be cleaned or if a job is underestimated due to the condition of the home.

  • We are not equipped to clean bug infestations, bodily fluids, or extensive grease or fire damage. If our staff does not feel safe in a home or environment they will leave or we will remove them.

  •   ​Please note: If we are not able to clean the entire space due to the conditions, you will still be responsible for the full cost of the cleaning.

• Complete customer service evaluations

  Customer feedback is crucial in helping us offer the highest quality of service to all of our clients. Customer service surveys are sent after each cleaning by email or text. Customers are always welcome to call our office at (980) 226-3532 with feedback about your service.
