What if there are rooms that I do not want cleaned?

If the kitchen garbage bin is more than half full we will remove it and either leave by the front door or place it in outdoor bins. Please advise if you would like the team to place somewhere specific.

Do you wash laundry or make beds with fresh sheets?

  • This is offered on a case
    by case basis.

Do we need to be home while you are on site?

  • No you don’t. We prefer that you are out of the home while we are on site. However, we understand many are
    working from home these days. Let us know if you have meetings or if you would like us to start with your office so we minimize any disturbances. If you are not home, please let us know if there will be people coming and going throughout the day. We ask this to ensure the safety of your home and of our employees.

We have pets! Is it ok if they stay home?

  • Absolutely! Please let us know prior to our visit, so that we are aware. Please let us know if the doors and windows must stay shut, to ensure your pet’s safety.

Will you clean up after our pets?

  • We are not equipped to deal with any bio-hazards, therefore, we will not clean up any pet or human waste or bodily fluids. (other than typical toilet spray). We will place a paper towel over the area and clean around it.
