Frequently Asked Questions
How will the house cleaner know my priorities?
If it’s your first time booking an appointment with the house cleaner, be sure to review the scope of work outlined on this page before your appointment so you know what’s included in a typical cleaning. You may send us your list of priorities by text message or email, or plan to be available to review your cleaning preferences and priorities when we get there. Any special requests should be discussed before the service appointment begins, as some requests are not included in a standard cleaning and may result in an updated service price.
How do I schedule each cleaning? How far out can I schedule my appointments?
During checkout, you’ll be prompted to select your appointment preferences for your first house cleaning. As for recurring service plans, please contact us in order to set everything up. You may also call schedule and us all at once over the phone.
