How far in advance do I need to book my cleaning?

Sometimes we are able to take same day bookings, but to be on the safe side try and book your cleaning at least 24 hours in advance.

 

How many cleaners will come?

We will send one or two cleaners for nearly all jobs. While we can send more cleaners for exceptionally large homes, we have found that sending more than two cleaners is redundant and inefficient in most circumstances. We equip each of our cleaners with full cleaning kits and vacuums so you won’t need to supply a thing.

 

Can I cancel or reschedule my cleaning?

We will happily accommodate your cancellation or reschedule any time up to 24 hours before your scheduled appointment. So if you need to cancel or reschedule please do within 24 hours of your appointment. If you cancel later than 24 hours, you will incur a $75.00 cancellation fee or if we arrive to your property and can not access it you will incur a $100 cancellation fee. Part of this fee goes to our cleaners to compensate them for not getting paid that day.

What should I do with my pets?

We make sure that all of our cleaners are pet lovers!  However, we do require that all dogs are secured away so that we can spend out time cleaning instead of being distracted :).  We will charge a lockout fee if we arrive to a home with pets loose and no pet parents present. 

 

Do I need to be home for my appointment?

Nope! If you need to be out and about that day, don’t worry. Just be sure to provide specific entry instructions to avoid a lock-out fee.

 

When can I expect my cleaning professionals to arrive?

We ask that So Fresh Maids arrive in your appointment window. Cleaning homes can be unpredictable. On the occasion your cleaning professional is running late, we will call you to notify you and talk about options.

 

When will I be charged?

Payment is collected for appointments only after a service has been successfully rendered. Final appointment costs will be automatically billed to the credit card on file. Typically, this takes place within 24 hours of the completed appointment.

Do you bring your own cleaning supplies and equipment?

All So Fresh Maids come equipped with their own cleaning supplies and equipment made. If you have specific cleaners that you prefer to use on precious surfaces such as counter tops or floors just leave them out for your cleaner and they’ll substitute our normal products for yours.

 

What if I don’t want my entire home cleaned?

The neighborhood and number of bedrooms and bathrooms in your home gives us an idea of how large your home is overall, meaning that our pricing takes into account how long it will take to clean your entire home. If you would like to customize the cleaning to certain areas in your home we offer Partial hourly cleanings so that you can have your home cleaned exactly how you want it.
