By completing a booking, you acknowledge that you have reviewed and understand the service selected, including what is and is not included in that service. You further acknowledge that this booking constitutes a written agreement and that it is your responsibility to review these Terms & Conditions, including but not limited to any requirements to provide correct booking details and include any additional services if the condition of the home requires it. Failure to comply with these Terms & Conditions may result in additional charges, rescheduling, or cancellation of service, in which case the full service price may be charged. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

1. Booking Confirmation and Payment

  • Booking online does not guarantee your requested date and time. We will confirm your booking before it is finalized.

  • To reserve your cleaning, a hold will be placed on your card 4 days prior to your appointment. If the hold fails, we will notify you. If payment is not updated the same day, the booking will be canceled.

  • Your card will be charged immediately after the cleaning is completed.

  • All new clients must pay electronically through our booking system.

2. Cancellation and Rescheduling

  • Please cancel or reschedule at least 3 business days before your cleaning by calling (voicemail if we don’t answer), texting, or emailing us.

  • Late cancellations or reschedules will incur fees:

    • 1 business day or less before appointment → fully charged, non-refundable

    • 2 business days before appointment → $70 cancellation fee for recurring cleaning, or 50% of total booking price for deep cleaning, move in/out, or other specialty cleaning, non-refundable

      • Areas requiring scraping, soaking, or intensive scrubbing beyond what is included in our cleaning packages

    • Failure to disclose important property details (extra kitchens, separate living units, or other atypical features)

    • A move-in cleaning is scheduled but the home, including cabinets and closets, is not completely empty, as move-in cleanings require a fully vacant property

    • No running water or limited access

    • No electricity or inadequate lighting throughout the home

    • No air conditioning (especially during summer months)

    • Safety concerns for our cleaning professionals (e.g., unsafe premises, presence of weapons)

  • If a booking is made with incorrect square footage, cleaning type, frequency, or other details, we reserve the right to adjust the service and pricing to the correct rate.

  • Recurring Cleaning services are only available for weekly, bi-weekly, or every-4-weeks appointments. If more than 4 weeks have passed since the Client’s last cleaning service, the appointment will be converted to a Deep Cleaning service and charged at the applicable Deep Cleaning rate.

  • If a cancellation, rescheduling, skipped service, or other scheduling change causes the time between appointments to exceed the selected recurring frequency, the service and pricing will be automatically adjusted to the appropriate cleaning type and rate.

  • If the discrepancy is discovered during or after the cleaning, we reserve the right to charge the difference in fee.

  • All other terms, including cancellation and rescheduling policies, still apply.
