Do I have to do anything before you come?

Check out our blog post on this exact topic! 

In short, basic tidying and de-cluttering of surfaces will allow us to clean more effectively and efficiently!

Do I have to have a deep clean first?

The short answer: yes. However, if you are switching from another cleaning company and have had a visit within the last four weeks, we are happy to hop right into recurring services!

Do I have to be home when you clean?

No. You can choose to provide access instructions for our entry/exit by keypad code, hidden key, remote access etc. If you decide to keep a key on file with us - we store all keys in a secure lockbox at our office that requires team members' personal profiles to scan and take/release custody of the keys so we know where they are at all times.

How long will it take to clean my home?

It depends on the home and service being provided, but we generally schedule visits to be about an hour and a half and never more than 3 hours.

We are happy to provide an exact answer for you, just contact us!

Will I have the same team on each visit?

We do not guarantee the same team for each visit, but our team is small and you'd see the same faces more often than not!
