House Cleaning Services – FAQ

Once your booking is confirmed, the email will outline the date and estimated time of arrival. Our cleaners are punctual in general, however, there might be an arrival window and our team will arrive during this period.

Although our cleaners always aim to be on time, there might be times where our team might arrive around 15 minutes earlier or later due to changing traffic conditions, severe weather or any other unforeseeable circumstances.
Rest assured that if our cleaners are running late, they will contact you (message / email) 10 minutes before.

This depends on the size of your property, the work scope and our staff availability / schedule. We send 1 to 3 cleaners per job on a case by case basis. For some reasons, if you need the job done in a shorter period of time with many cleaners, please let our office know.
