FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHEN WILL MY CLEANER ARRIVE?

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.
DO I HAVE TO CONTACT YOU EACH TIME?
After you set up recurring service, we’ll be there like clockwork on the date and time you choose. Of course you'll also get the same cleaner every time if you so desire. You will also receive automated email reminders and text, 1 day before your next cleaning appointment.
