How do I schedule a cleaning?
Please give us a call during business hours, book online or email us:
We offer various types of rotations: weekly, bi-weekly, monthly and periodic.
Our monthly rotations (every 28 days) are available Monday – Wednesday.
Weekly and every other week visitations are available Monday – Friday depending upon schedule openings.
The reason for this is monthly visits take longer to perform. We want to protect each of our customer slots by never overbooking during our highest volume house cleaning days which are typically Thursday and Friday. If we’ve got you set up on a cleaning schedule and a discount based on frequency, your cleaning charge may increase based on the last time we visited. Why? Because those extra weeks mean a slightly dirtier house and a bit more time that we’ll be inside, making sure it’s spick and span!
Do You Clean Any Outside Surfaces Of The Home?
We do not. Our insurance only covers our cleaners inside your home.
What If I Want To Skip This Weeks Clean? Will I Still Be Charged?
