Frequently Asked Questions

We make every effort to send the same team of two professional cleaners each visit. However, sometimes due to illness, vacations, or other reasons; we may have to substitute another team to clean your home. In the event a substitute team is reassigned, we will contact you personally.

Our first cleaning visit is more like a spring cleaning or perhaps “catch-up” cleaning. Before we can begin regularly scheduled maintenance of a home, there are a variety of first-time tasks that require extra time and effort. There’s a big difference between “old” dirt and “new” dirt. If we don’t get rid of the old dirt, no matter how hard we try, simply removing new dirt isn’t going to make your home sparkling. It’s not uncommon for us to spend from two to four times longer on an initial clean than it takes us on regularly scheduled maintenance visits.

With the exception of inclement weather, your cleaning day is guaranteed. However, with the exception of the 1st appointment in the morning, we can not guarantee a specific time of day for your regularly scheduled visits because our schedules and travel routes can change from week to week. We will make our very best effort to arrive at your requested time and are more than happy to contact you the day before your service with an estimated time of arrival (ETA).
