Cancellation, Rescheduling & Non-Entry ​

We understand that there may be times when you need to cancel, reschedule, or change your cleaning appointment. Please give us as much notice as possible to accommodate these changes.

If our team arrives at a scheduled cleaning appointment and is unable to gain access or is turned away for any reason, you may be responsible for paying the full amount of the cleaning.

​

Entry Access​

There are several ways we may gain entry to your home or office on a scheduled cleaning day:

​

  • You are Present: You may choose to be present during cleaning and open the door for us.

  • Key with Concierge/Reception: If your building offers concierge or reception service, you may leave the key with them.

  • Keypad Entry: If your door has a keypad, you can provide us with this code in order to gain access to your space. 

 

Appointment Times​

We will make every effort to arrive at your scheduled cleaning time. Due to our varying daily schedule and commitments, we cannot guarantee a specific time for our arrival on your scheduled cleaning day. We will do our best to communicate any changes, aiming to arrive within 60 minutes of your scheduled appointment time.

 

Payment Terms

We accept payment via cash (preferred), Zelle, or electronic payment . If you opt for electronic payment, we will bill all services performed one day prior to the cleaning appointment using the payment method you provided.

​

We proudly stand behind our work. Should you have any feedback or concerns regarding your cleaning, please contact us within 24 hours after the end of your cleaning appointment. If there are areas that you feel we have overlooked, please do not clean those areas yourself. We will have someone report to your home or office within 24 hours to re-clean the areas of concern at no cost to you. While we are unable to issue refunds, we are happy to re-clean any areas of concern.

​

  • Secure Valuables: Safely store any valuables, important documents, and fragile items.

  • Pet Safety: Ensure pets are in a safe area away from where the cleaning will take place.

  • Trash Bags: Leave out fresh trash bags for us to use when emptying waste bins.

  • Laundry: If you require laundry services, please leave presorted laundry and supplies in a clearly visible area.

  • Access: Ensure that we have clear access to all areas that need to be cleaned.

​

Our Standard Cleaning - Always a Deep Cleaning!​

Our regular cleaning service ensures your home or office remains consistently clean and inviting. This service includes a thorough cleaning of all key areas, ensuring every surface is attended to with care. Here’s what you can expect:

​

Kitchen: Dust: light fixtures, windows, doors, cabinets from the outside, baseboards; clean: backsplash, all countertops, the outside of the fridge, the outside and inside of the microwave; clean and disinfect: sinks, cabinet door knobs, light switches, stovetop; empty trash can; vacuum and mop floors.

​

Living Rooms/Bedrooms/All Common Areas: Dust: all surfaces, doors, cobwebs, windows, baseboards, light fixtures; clean and disinfect: all surfaces, furniture, light switches, doorknobs; vacuum and mop all floors.

​

​​​

Add-On Services & Special Requests​

The following areas will not be serviced in regular standard cleanings unless requested in advance: inside of the refrigerator, oven, washer/dryer, dishwasher, cabinets, closets (floors only); larger than standard size windows, laundry, patio/balcony, cleaning of floor grout. These services may result in an agreed upon extra charge. Our team will look to complete these add-ons at no additional cost if all other cleaning is completed within a two-hour window.

​

Laundry ​

We are happy to assist with laundry, but we will only spend time on laundry commensurate with the time spent on your cleaning. One load will be washed, dried, and folded for clothes, or one load of bed sheets and linens will be washed and dressed on the bed during any regular cleaning. Please presort your laundry and avoid including delicate or dry-clean-only items. Providing only sheets and towels for this service reduces the possibility of damages. Laundry services may add an additional charge, and we ask that you provide laundry detergent. Please leave presorted laundry and supplies in a visible area.

​

Dishes ​

We will empty your dishwasher if you specifically request it and if the wash cycle is completed before our departure. Please ensure that any items in the sink are dishwasher safe and meant to be washed in the machine.

​

Larger than standard size windows​

Larger than standard size window cleaning is considered an add-on service. We kindly ask that you examine your windows to ensure they can be easily opened. We clean interior windows and are unable to take responsibility for windows damaged during window cleaning services, unless caused by our negligence.

​

Furniture​

We will get under elevated furniture with our tools and move reasonably sized items such as chairs, ottomans, and coffee tables. For the safety of your floors, furniture, and our staff, we cannot move bulky or heavy items. You are welcome to move these items yourself, and we will happily clean the area of concern.

​

Areas We Do Not Service​

For the safety of our staff and the protection of your delicate items, there are a few services we are unable to provide: moving bulky furniture, cleaning delicate items, lifting heavy items, cleaning spaces infested with bed bugs, cleaning large areas of floors by hand, using ladders higher than 3 feet, cleaning cat litter boxes or handling pet feces, cleaning fireplaces, hand washing clothes, providing laundry services when laundry facilities are not inside your building, cleaning outside windows that do not flip forward, cleaning larger-than-standard-size windows, stepping on kitchen counters to clean the tops of cabinets, and cleaning areas considered to be excessively cluttered.​

​

Right to Photograph​

We reserve the right to document any pre-existing damage or other anomalies and attach these photos to your file. We may also photograph before and after pictures or take pictures of staff performing their normal duties for social media purposes.

​

Property Damage​

We stand proudly for the top-notch quality of service and utmost care for your home and office. Our internal policy ensures transparency about any accidents or incidents. We will report any accidents and work with you to remediate them. If someone other than our staff brings a damaged item to our attention, we reserve the right to investigate thoroughly. If there is no reasonable evidence that our team caused the damage, such a claim will be denied.

​

Accidents During Cleaning

Antiques and items of extreme or sentimental value should be pointed out in advance, and it is best that we do not touch such items. In the event of an accident, we will proactively contact you to seek reconciliation. We will be responsible for repurchasing or reimbursing up to $100 per item. Please inform us of the location of any expensive or irreplaceable items before your scheduled cleaning.

​

Supplies & Equipment​

Our cleaning specialists arrive equipped with all the necessary tools. All of our cleaning products are organic and homemade with organic vinegar, water, and essential oils. If you prefer that we do not use vinegar in your household, please let us know and we will happily adjust the cleaning products used. We kindly ask you to supply laundry detergent if we perform laundry service.

​

Non-Solicitation of Employees​

During the period of our service and for twelve (12) months after its termination, you agree not to directly or indirectly solicit, recruit, or hire any of our employees who have performed services under this agreement, nor induce any such employee to leave their employment with us.

​​

Social Responsibility​

Our organization sponsors charities in Latin America to provide sports equipment to youth, through their participation in local beach and neighborhood cleanup projects. Through these initiatives, we aim to empower youth through sports and service. Please see our work on Instagram: @SomosTheNicaraguaProject and let us know if you’d like to learn more!​
