If you’re not going to be home or there to let us in upon arrival, make sure you let us know how to access your house.

​We work with realtors and often times are given lock-box code or a key under the mat. Just ensure there is a way for us to get in and we will make sure it is locked up when we leave!

WILL MY CLEANERS ARRIVE ON TIME?

Yes. Please allow a 15-30 minute window from your scheduled appointment time due to traffic and weather circumstances. We will be there. In scenarios where your cleaner(s) will be late, you will be contacted to let you know their ETA.

You will be charged after the cleaning and 40 point move out cleaning checklist has been completed. Payment is due day of service and will incur a late charge of $100.00 if not received within 24 hours plus an additional 2% a day or $200 whichever comes first.

ARE THERE LATE CHARGES IF I CANNOT PAY MY BILL IN FULL?

Late charges will incur if bill is not paid in full within 24 hours of receiving invoice. Your invoice will reflect and explain all charges and any discounts if applicable.

WILL I BE CHARGED PROCESSING FEES IF I USE A CREDIT CARD FOR PAYMENT?

Not necessarily. While there is an option the day of service to pay your bill with a credit card using our payment platform, Square, they do charge your card a 3.5% processing fee so instead we have included options on your invoice to avoid those fees but still use your credit card by paying other ways such as:
