� Service at your home at a prearranged time of the day on certain days of the week. The owner or his personal assistant will personally inspect each property prior to and after each cleaning - every time.
 

� A guaranteed timeline to render your home spic and span.
 

� Careful treatment of your belongings. Anything that you don't want cleaned will not be cleaned if determined from the outset.
 

� We can clean around you, however when we enter the room you should leave the room and make yourself scarce for the duration.
 

�  Bathrooms:  Providing there is nothing inhumane in your bathroom, our cleaning services have the tools and the experience to make your bathroom shine, e.g.:

�  Kitchens:

� Dusting: This could be one of the best features of our cleaning service. Here is a distinct difference between clean and tidy and that difference is often the thin layer of dust covering your home. Having your home thoroughly dusted will let you really know the difference between clean and tidy.
 

� Basement: Often cleaning services will not go into the basement unless specifically stated in the Contract. This means that if you have rooms in the basement that are used, you need to let us know what is expected to do that task. There might be an extra fee reflected on the Contract.
 

�  All Rooms: (e.g., living room, dinning): Dust, pick up/straiten, vacuum/sweep.
 

�  Supplies: We will supply all "green" cleaning supplies including mops, rags, vacuum cleaner, etc.  However, there might be times when we need to use regular bleach or ammonia; moreover if you have allergies, you should make sure that you provide cleaning supplies that will not cause an allergic reaction.

What to Ask us prior to completing the Contract:

Not all house cleaning services are the same, so you should have a good idea of what to ask before you sign a Contract.

 

� Review your lists of cleaning tasks and your priorities. Ask if we can do the tasks you would like to have done.
 

� Have clear explanations of your standards for each task, written on paper with a copy for the professional.
 

� Be prepared with potential cleaning dates and budget limits.
 

� Ask about bonding, liability and payroll withholding for Social Security taxes and workmen's compensation. Ask about contracted and common law employees.
 

� Check with Internal Revenue Service (toll free 1-800-424-1040) to find out your responsibilities as an employer. It might be prudent to obtain the name of the person's insurance carrier to verify the existence of insurance, liability limits for personal injury and property damage and whether the insurance extends coverage to activities in your home. Record the information obtained, date and name of the person called.
 

� Discuss how you will handle keys or letting our team into your home. Duplication and return of keys should be discussed.
 

� Discuss how changes in cleaning dates due to holidays or special events are handled. Can cleaning dates be changed occasionally? If so, how?
 

� Ask for references - All references will be posted on this site and can be faxed or mailed.
 

� Determine what types of training and experience the professional has had.
 

� Determine how knowledgeable the professional is regarding: selection of appropriate chemicals (acids, alkalines, abrasives, absorptives, solvents, disinfectants, etc.) for the material and the soil; selection of appropriate tools and techniques for the materials. Does the professional understand the basis of cleaning products, safe use and which types of cleaners to use on various materials, such as the use of non-abrasives on delicate or easily scratched surfaces?
 

� Determine what happens in the event your property is damaged through misuse or carelessness. Ask us for a copy of the claim form from their insurance carrier and clarify what type of information will be needed in the event of damage.
 

� After interviewing, the established, written list of tasks (Contract) to be done each time will be completed along with any addendums, e.g., unusual cleaning. We will specify how each task is done and types of cleaning products and tools to be used and how complaints will be handled. Both parties will need to sign this before any work is done. Also sign a written agreement on payment procedures and clarify in writing how either party can remove themselves from the agreements listed above. We will take PayPal, cashiers check or cash.

The following is a rough guideline as to what you can expect for an economy cleaning service. Some companies may charge more, but few will be able to charge less. Unless they are doing something sneaky and you don't want that anyway.

Initial Cleaning

Our service team will come in and do an initial cleaning of your home. This is to get a sense of its size and how difficult it will be to clean.

Once this initial cleaning is done, we can then offer you a Contract for on-going maintenance cleaning. Because most of the truly evil grime is now gone, all we have to do is make sure that it does not come back. Standard maintenance cleaning often cost $40-$140 per week (if you want weekly service depending upon the number of beds and baths). We will also give you a quote in writing , i.e., our Contract.

You may also be wondering what we will charge for other services e.g., carpet cleaning, power washing, yard cleaning/maintenance, etc... just ask us. We will go out to your property, work up an estimate and e-mail or fax to you for your signature.
