Frequently Asked Questions
General
1. What does the cleaning service include?
Our cleaning services cover the main areas of the home, including kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and common areas. Tasks may include cleaning and disinfecting surfaces, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning mirrors, doors, baseboards, ceiling fans, exterior surfaces of appliances, making beds, and general upkeep. Services vary depending on the type of cleaning selected.
2. What types of cleaning services do you offer?
We offer initial deep cleanings, recurring maintenance cleanings, move-in/move-out cleanings, and add-on services. Each service is tailored to the home’s needs and condition
3. What is the difference between a deep cleaning and a regular cleaning?
A deep cleaning is more detailed and is recommended as the first service, especially if it’s our first time cleaning the property. It allows us to address built-up dirt and neglected areas. Regular cleaning focuses on maintaining the home once a clean baseline has been established.
4. Why is the first cleaning more expensive than recurring cleanings?
The initial cleaning requires more time and detail to bring the home to a maintainable standard. Once this baseline is established, recurring cleanings are more efficient and cost-effective.
5. How is the price determined?
Pricing is based on the size of the home (square footage), the type of service requested, and the overall condition of the property.
6. How long does a cleaning take?
There is no strict time limit. Cleaning time depends on the size and condition of the home and the selected service. Our priority is delivering quality results, not rushing through the job.
Preparing for Your Cleaning
1. How should I prepare my home before the cleaning?
We recommend clearing floors and surfaces, putting away dishes and food, securing fragile items, and ensuring pets are safely contained so our team can work efficiently.
2. Can I request cleaning only in certain areas?
Yes. You may request specific areas to be cleaned or excluded. In some cases, we may request photos or videos to properly adjust the service and pricing.
3. Can I provide special instructions to my cleaning team?
Absolutely. We encourage it. Your preferences can be saved in your client profile so you don’t have to repeat them at each visit.

The number of cleaners depends on the size and needs of the home. Typically, we send a team of three or four cleaners and will inform you in advance.

8. How does arrival time work? Do you offer set appointment times?
We do our best to accommodate timing requests, but we can’t guarantee an exact arrival time. Instead, we schedule cleanings within a 2-hour arrival window, since the length of each service can vary depending on the home’s condition and needs. Our team may arrive anytime within that timeframe. If you have a time-sensitive request (work calls, school pickup, access instructions, etc.), please let us know in advance and we’ll do our best to schedule you in the closest available window.
9. Will I get a notification when the team is on the way?
Yes. On the day of your cleaning, once the team is on the way and getting close to your home, we can send an estimated time of arrival message so you have a more accurate idea of when they’ll arrive.
