House cleaning questions, answered
The things people ask before booking, grouped so you can find yours quickly.
Quotes and pricing
How is the price set?
By your home and what you'd like done: the bedrooms and bathrooms, the size and condition of the home, the type of clean and how often you'd like us to come. You see the price and exactly what's included, in writing, before anything is booked.
Do you charge for a quote?
No. Quotes are free, and asking for one doesn't commit you to anything.
How soon will I hear back?
[How quickly quote requests get a reply]
How do I pay?
[Payment methods and when payment is due]
On the day
Do I need to be home?
[How entry works when nobody is home (key, lockbox, code)]
Do you bring your own supplies?
[Do you bring your own supplies and equipment?]
What about pets?
[Pets: what you need from the customer]
How long does a clean take?
It depends on the size of the home and the type of clean; a deep or move-out clean takes noticeably longer than a regular visit. Your quote includes an estimate of the time.
Is there anything you don't do?
[Anything you don't do (e.g. exterior windows, heavy lifting, biohazards)]
Trust and care
Are you insured?
[Insurance: type and carrier, e.g. general liability with …]
Who will be cleaning my home?
[Who cleans: the owner, employees, or contractors]
Will it be the same person each time?
[Do recurring customers get the same cleaner or team?]
What if something is missed?

What if something is damaged?
[What happens if something is damaged during a clean]
Recurring cleaning
How often can you come?
Every week, every two weeks or every four weeks. If a different rhythm suits your household better, such as every three weeks, ask and we'll set it up.
Can I skip or move a visit?
[How much notice you need to reschedule or cancel, and any fee]
Should the first visit be a deep clean?
Only if the home needs it. When a house hasn't been professionally cleaned in a while, a deep clean first makes every regular visit after it quicker and more thorough. Your quote will say whether we think one is worth it.
Moving in or out
When should I book a move-out clean?
After the last of your belongings are out and before the final walkthrough or closing. Empty rooms let us reach inside cabinets, closets and appliances. Book as soon as you know your moving date.
Does the home need power and water?
Yes. We need running water, electricity and working lights to clean properly, so please keep the utilities on until the clean is finished.
