Terms and Conditions - Maid To Clean

General Terms and Conditions

Cleaning Supplies/ Equipment. Maid to Clean provides environmentally-friendly chemical-free products and all equipment required for the cleaning including the vacuum.

Confirmation

Booking a service online doesn’t guarantee you a spot for that date/time. You will be contacted by email or phone with a confirmation.

Right to Refuse Service

Cleaning technicians have the choice to leave upon arrival if the home is in extreme condition or they feel unsafe/threatened. If you book a cleaning online that is unreasonable, such as cleaning up after a large party, the cleaners may refuse service on the spot and you will be charged the maximum cancellation fee.

Price Adjustments

If the pricing calculator underestimates the price of your cleaning because the condition of your home is much worse than predicted or because you did not input the accurate information into our online pricing calculator, we will first inform you by call and email. We do have permission to adjust the price, charge the cleaning hourly, or refuse the service. The client agrees to pay the technician’s parking cost if incurred.

Cancellation or Unable to Access

You can reschedule or cancel an appointment here on our website, or call the office at (703) 299-0101. To cancel or reschedule without penalty, please advise us before 11:00am on the business day prior to your appointment. Monday and Saturday clients must provide notice before 11:00am on the preceding Friday. A $126.00 fee is automatically billed to credit cards for a late cancellation, late rescheduling, or if our teams are unable to access the property.

Cancellation during the cleaning

A charge of 100 % of the estimated price as a cancellation fee will be applied for cleanings canceled by the client once the cleaning has started. We understand that cleaning starts once the Cleaning Technician enters the property.

Recurring Price Structure

Recurring clients receive discounts after their first cleaning. If you skip cleanings so that your cleaning frequency is lower than what you were set up for, your price will be increased to the pricing level for the lower frequency.

About Our Technicians

Direct Hiring of Our Cleaning Technicians.

Maid to Clean invests heavily in training methods and background screenings to find quality employees. Hiring our current or ex-worker(s), and/or accepting side propositions, makes you liable for an employment referral fee of $5,000.00 if you directly employ (legally or cash basis) anyone currently or formerly employed by us within the two year period prior to such employment. By using our service, you agree to notify us of any attempts to solicit or accept illegal business, otherwise; Attorney, Legal and miscellaneous expenses incurred to investigate and/or collect this fee will be added if this employment is discovered. Exchanging contact info is considered part of this breach. Unless complying with all laws; direct, unreported, or inappropriate employment practices are illegal. You acknowledge being informed that Maid to Clean is obligated to report illegal hiring activities. In fact, anyone may report this to the proper government and judicial authorities so an investigation ensues. Implication, complicity, or withholding knowledge of illegal activity is not only prosecutable by Maid to Clean (when applicable), but also by United States federal and local laws.

Employee safety

Maid to Clean reserves the right to remove its employees from your home should the environment become unsafe. Our cancellation policy will apply. We don’t clean any blood, body fluid, or any human or animal feces.

Pets

We will gladly work around pets. If your pet becomes anxious or presents a safety concern, Maid to Clean reserves the right to remove its employees from your home. If an employee leaves your home prior to completion, Maid to Clean will charge you a prorated expense based on work performed. If the removal of our cleaning technician is due to aggressive pets, our cancellation policy will apply.

Breakage/Damage and Loss Policy

Customers must provide images of damage both before and after the cleaning, along with proof that damages were caused at the time of the cleaning. All claims must be made within 24 hours of the cleaning. Once the office receives the notification, we will contact you as soon as possible. If we do not hear from you within the next 30 days, we will assume you do not want to have us resolve the issue and the situation will void. Identical replacement is always attempted but not guaranteed. For this specific reason, Maid to Clean requests all irreplaceable items (whether monetarily or sentimentally valued) be stored and/or not cleaned by our staff. Maid to Clean is not responsible for the breakage of these irreplaceable items. Maid to Clean is not responsible for damage due to faulty and/or improper installation of any item.

If we are specifically requested to clean the inside of a hutch/china cabinet or wash dishes or wine glasses, the client agrees not to hold Maid to Clean or any of its employees responsible for damage to any article or component.

Any re-cleans can only be done with the same cleaning technician(s) unless there is a schedule conflict for the technician and only within the first 72 hours of the cleaning. If you are at home and you notice that the cleaner overlooked something please immediately tell the cleaner to re-clean the area or call our office before the cleaner leaves your home.
