Frequently asked questions
WHEN WILL MY MAID ARRIVE?
We ask all clients for a 1-hour arrival window. This ensures a buffer between appointments.
Since we always guarantee never to leave your home until everything is complete and finished up to our high standards, sometimes earlier appointments will have us running late.

We love pets. Our cleaners work around them all the time and we never have any issues. The loud noise of the vacuum does occasionally cause a scare and in cases like that we're always happy to accommodate special arrangements.
To ensure the best service please try and keep pets out of your cleaner's way so that they can give their complete focus and attention to the cleaning task at hand.
