Before we confirm your appointment
Cleaning products and vacuum
On the first visit we bring all the cleaning products and our own vacuum. On later visits we still bring our vacuum, and we use your products: you can buy the ones you like, or we can buy them for you and give you the receipt.
Payment
We accept Zelle, Venmo and checks.
Weekday appointments
Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Time for the visit
It depends on the size and condition of the home. We don’t rush: Daniela checks every room before the crew moves on to the next, so larger homes and first visits take longer.
Tipping
Tips are never expected, but always appreciated.
Changing an appointment
Give 48 hours’ notice so we can offer the time to someone else.
Optional keys and access
You do not need to be home if authorized entry is arranged. A key or code is never required. If you choose to give one, pass it to us privately, never through the quote form.
Missed agreed tasks
Report a missed item on the agreed checklist within 24 hours. We re-clean that item free while we still have access. This is the reporting deadline, not a promise to return that day. Guarantee terms
A return visit requires authorized access. The guarantee provides a re-clean, not a refund.

Providing a key or access code is optional and your choice.

We only accept one if you choose to give it to us. Share door, lockbox or alarm codes privately when arranging access, not in the quote form.
