No, you don’t need to be home. You can leave access instructions (key,
code, etc.). You’re welcome to be home if you prefer—as long as the team can
work uninterrupted.
6. What is your cancellation
policy?
We kindly ask for at least 24
hours’ notice.
- Frequent cancellations may result in a 60% fee.
- Last-minute cancellations cause us to lose that spot for another client, so please notify
us as early as possible.
7. Will the team arrive on
time?
- If your home
is the first on the schedule,
we will arrive on time.
- If you are the
second or third, we provide
a time range, since arrival
depends on completion of earlier jobs.
8. Do you bring your own
cleaning supplies?
Yes, we bring our own standard cleaning products. If you prefer
specific or hypoallergenic products, we’re happy to use what you provide.
We kindly ask customers to
provide their own vacuum and mop, especially for recurring services, to avoid cross-contamination between
homes.
What if I don’t have a vacuum,
mop, or supplies?
We offer two options:
- We bring everything for each visit – We can provide all equipment for a
small additional charge per visit.
- We purchase supplies for you – We can purchase a recommended
vacuum and mop, then add the cost
to your invoice over time (bi-weekly or monthly), so you don't have
to worry about buying them upfront.

accept?
We accept Zelle, Venmo, checks,

thing!
