FAQs
Do I have to be home?
Whether or not you’re home during your appointment is up to you. You can leave or feel free to stick around. Whatever you’re most comfortable with is fine. If you do leave, your maid will call or text you before they’re finished. However, we strongly recommend doing a pre-cleaning walkthrough with your maids to make sure expectations are properly set.
Also, keep in mind to be eligible for our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, clients must complete the post-cleaning walk through inspection. If clients are not able or choose not to perform post-cleaning walk through inspection, the 100% Satisfaction Guarantee will be invalid. Additional services will be charged accordingly. When making your booking, please keep this in mind.
Do you bring your own supplies?
All our maids bring their own supplies. If you have a specialty product of your own that you’d like us to use, we’re more than happy to do so. If you have any special requests, we would be happy to accommodate you if possible.
How should I prepare for the arrival of my maids?
For a Deep Clean, it’s best if you clear clutter, put away clothes and clear surfaces so that we can do what we do best…clean! For a Move In clean, just schedule to have one of our cleaning teams thoroughly clean your new home prior to moving in. If we’re doing a Move Out clean, we ask that all items be removed from your home, including clearing out your cabinets and drawers. We are more than happy to clean around and underneath large appliances, but just ask that you move them for us first. Due to liability reasons, our maids are not able to move large appliances.
What are your hours of operation?
We book appointments between 8:00am – 3:00pm, 7 days a week. For larger homes, we recommend scheduling a morning appointment.
