Hours of Operation & Arrival Windows

Our office and cleaning schedule runs Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

For the first appointment of the day, our team arrives at the exact scheduled time. For all subsequent appointments, we provide a 1-hour arrival window to accommodate traffic and service variations.

Initial Scope Verification

If our team arrives and the home differs from the initial booking — larger, more rooms, or a much deeper level of cleaning required — we'll notify you immediately to adjust the price before starting.

⚠️ Please note We do not service hoarding situations.

Service Expectations & Home Preparation

To help us deliver the most efficient and spotless results, please prepare your home by following these steps:

Declutter

Tidy up and clear clutter, toys, or loose paperwork from floors and countertops.

Floor Safety

Allow floors to dry fully before walking on them if you are at home.

Valuables & Privacy

Secure any highly sensitive, sentimental, or valuable items, and private documents.

Stay Clear

Avoid using rooms that are actively being cleaned.

🍽️ Dish Policy Our team does not wash dishes by hand or organize personal belongings. If your dishwasher is empty, we'll gladly place dirty dishes inside for you — we do not unload clean dishes or put items away in cabinets.

Remote Work & Home Office Friendly

We love our remote-working clients! If your house is your home office, our team will gladly work around you with empathy and care, switching rooms smoothly so your day remains uninterrupted.

💡 Heads Up Please note our commercial equipment (such as vacuums) creates standard background noise during the process.

Supplies & Equipment

We provide all the tools and cleaning products required to make your home shine, including commercial vacuums, mops, microfibers, and sanitizers.

If you prefer that our team use your specific cleaning products (such as organic, eco-friendly, or scent-free alternatives), please let us know when scheduling your service.

Cleaning Time & Estimates

Our rates are calculated per job, not per hour. Our highly trained technicians clean efficiently in a shorter time.

⚠️ Important If you give our team less work than originally agreed in the initial estimate, the full amount will still be charged unless discussed and approved in advance.
