CLEANING DAY

It’s up to you how much prep you want to do before the cleaning. However, your cleaners reserve the right to reconsider the job if they feel there’s more work needed than what was ordered. This is rarely an issue, but let us know if advance if you have any questions or concerns. We want to make sure your cleaners are properly prepared, adequately compensated for their effort, and that you’re completely satisfied with your cleaning!

No. We provide all of the cleaning supplies and equipment, unless you have a request for something out of the ordinary.

Definitely! Tips aren’t required but are always appreciated by a cleaner who has done a great job. You can tip your cleaner in cash, or let us know how much you want to tip and we’ll add it to the total amount charged.

That’s 100% up to you! You can be at home for your appointment, or you can provide keys / access codes if you’re not going to be around. Many of our regular clients provide a lock box at home with a key so that the cleaners simply use that key to enter the home, then put it back in the lock box for next time.

Because of travel time and previous appointments sometimes taking longer than expected, we give you a 1-hour window for when your cleaners will arrive. In the rare event that a cleaner can’t make the arrival window, we’ll contact you ASAP to make arrangements to adjust the time or reschedule to another day.

On the day before your appointment, a hold will be placed on the credit card you used to book. This hold is only to make sure that billing goes smoothly the following day, you are not charged at this time. Once your cleaning is complete, we’ll charge the card on file and send you a receipt.

ASSURANCE & SAFETY

If you’re not happy with your cleaning, we’ll come back and re-clean (within the next 7 days). If you still aren’t satisfied enough to recommend Maid Palace to your friends, we’ll refund 100% of what you paid.

All of our cleaners pass a rigorous vetting process (including interviews, nationwide background checks, reference checks, and test cleans). Only a small number of the people that apply end up working as a Maid Palace certified cleaner.

We have three levels of security for billing. First, our booking page is protected with extended validation SSL. Second, our booking form has its own layer of 256 bit security. Third, credit card transactions are processed by Stripe and are use their own 256 security protocol. On top of this, credit card numbers are never stored in our system (only a token that allows us to charge the card). We take security of our customers’ information very seriously.

If anything goes wrong we’re here to get it sorted. Please let us know ASAP and we’ll be there to make it right. That’s our promise on every single job!

All of the cleaners we partner with are fully insured for these situations and will be ready to take care of any accidents. Your cleaners are responsible for their own work, and Maid Palace is not their employer. If there is any breakage or damage, they will handle the issue with you promptly and directly. 

 

Thankfully, we have found situations like this to be very rare. To limit the chance of any accidents, we suggest talking to your cleaners about any items of importance, and in some cases you may want to ask them to leave certain items untouched altogether.
