How Do I Book My Cleaning?

Chargebacks:

Due to the increase in fraudulent chargebacks we’ve experienced throughout the entire duration of the pandemic we’ve hired a collections agency to put all fraudulent chargebacks into collections. All accounts in collections will also receive a 10% late fee every month. As well as all NEW customers will be charged upon booking no matter how far out you book.

How-To-Book:

When booking a move-in/Move out cleaning you MUST select the move-in move out package. If you do not, we are not liable for it to be a completed move out/move in and most likely will not confirm the booking.If your home is larger than 2 bed 2 baths you are REQUIRED to select deep cleaning. It is not fair to expect our staff members to clean your entire home in less time. The deep cleaning allocates the necessary time to properly clean these large homes.

How to determine if your home is “Slightly Dirty, Pretty Dirty or Very Dirty.”

If your home hasn’t been professionally cleaned within the last year, you should select “Very Dirty”.

If your home has been cleaned within the last 6 months, you should select “Pretty Dirty”

If your home has been professionally cleaned within the last 3 months, you should select ” Slightly Dirty “
