24-Hour Re-Clean Guarantee (Primary Remedy). Upon timely notice, we will return and re-clean the specific areas you report at no additional charge.

Additional Remedies (Limited). If we determine, in our sole discretion, that the reported issue cannot be reasonably resolved through a re-clean (or if a re-clean is not reasonably possible), we may offer a service credit or partial refund as a customer service gesture.

2.3.2 User Obligations

  • Ensure property access at the scheduled time
  • Secure valuables
  • Maintain a safe environment for our staff

Failure to meet these conditions may lead to delays or cancellation.

Tipping is optional but appreciated. Tips can be added during booking or after service. If added, the amount will be processed using the card on file.

  • Same-day or denied access: 100% fee

These charges help cover staff scheduling and operational costs.

4.3 Our Right to Cancel

We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule any service appointment at our discretion, including due to staffing limitations, equipment issues, unsafe conditions, severe weather, access problems, or other circumstances beyond our control. If we cancel an appointment and the cancellation is not caused by the client’s actions or conditions at the property, we will either (a) reschedule the appointment at the next available time at no additional charge, or (b) issue a full refund for any pre-paid service amount for that appointment.

We are not responsible for indirect or consequential costs related to a cancellation or reschedule, including hotel costs, lockout fees, utility fees, travel costs, or missed work.

  1. Satisfaction Guarantee

Notify us within 24 hours of service completion if you are unsatisfied with the quality of a completed cleaning. We will schedule a re-clean of the specific reported areas at no additional charge.
