FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Every answer, before you ask.

How we price, what’s included, how we work in your home, and what to expect at every visit.

Getting started & pricing

How do I get a quote?

Call us at 315-520-0118 or request a quote on our website. No in-person visit is needed: we quote from your home’s square footage and the details you share.

How is my price set?

Pricing is based on your home’s square footage, its condition, the package you choose, the number of people and pets in the home, and any add-ons.

What do you need from me for an estimate?

Your name, contact information and address, plus your home’s square footage, number of rooms and bathrooms, levels, condition and any special requests.

Do I have to sign up for recurring service?

No. You can book a one-time cleaning without recurring service.

Can I review the estimate before I book?

Yes. We’ll email you the detailed estimate to review, with no obligation to book right away.

Deep cleans & packages

Do I have to start with a Deep Clean?

If your home hasn’t had a professional cleaning in the last month, yes. Recurring visits are designed to maintain a clean home, so the Deep Clean resets everything first and sets the foundation for every visit after it.

My home is already pretty clean. Do I still need one?

Even tidy homes hide buildup on baseboards, cabinet fronts and in showers. The Deep Clean takes care of it so your maintenance visits keep your home at its best.

What’s the difference between Bronze, Silver and Gold?

Bronze: thorough dry dusting and wet-room cleaning. Silver: a hand-washed once-over on most surfaces. Gold: deep scrubbing, polishing and detailed work throughout the home. See the full comparison.

Can I choose different packages for different rooms?

The package you choose applies to the whole home. You can add specific add-ons on top of it.

Who leads my Deep Clean?

Every Deep Clean is led by one of our trained Deep Clean Specialists. Our team completes 20 to 40 Deep Cleans a month and keeps fine-tuning its skills.

Do you scrub grout and remove water stains?

We scrub shower grout, including shower floors, during Gold Deep Cleans, and treat water stains during Deep Cleans, especially Gold. We don’t clean grout on room floors; that needs a tile and grout specialist.

Do you clean mold or mildew?

We don’t clean black mold. Light mildew can be addressed during a Gold Deep Clean.

What’s included

What’s included in a standard maintenance cleaning?

Kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and all main living areas: dusting, surfaces and floors. You’ll receive the full checklist with your quote.

How do you clean floors?

With a professional reservoir flat mop, a washable microfiber head and a gentle mix of castile soap and warm water. It’s safe for all floor types, including hardwood, and for kids and pets. We don’t use mop buckets, which can spread dirty water.

Do you move rugs?

Yes. Throw rugs are vacuumed, shaken out and put back after we clean the floor underneath.

Do you take out the trash?

Yes, from every receptacle in the home, to your outdoor bin.

Do you do dishes and make beds?

We’ll wash up to 15 dishes and make beds. Stripping beds is an add-on.

Supplies & products

Do you bring your own supplies and vacuum?

Yes. Our team arrives fully equipped with professional-grade products and equipment, some of them eco-friendly and a few made in-house. For tougher jobs, we may use stronger products like Soft Scrub or Bar Keepers Friend. We ask that you provide paper towels and trash bags. They don’t need to be left out, as long as we know where to find them.

Can you clean inside my washer and dryer, or move appliances?

We clean the outside of washers and dryers. We can’t move appliances, but if you move them, we’ll clean underneath. Please plan to move them back yourself.

Your team & trust

Are your technicians screened?

Yes. Every technician is vetted and background checked, and goes through our 90-day training program. Our team members are W-2 employees, and we’re bonded and insured.

Will I have the same technician every time?

Consistency is our goal. We assign a consistent team and keep detailed notes on your home, though we can’t guarantee the same person at every visit.

Do I need to be home?

No. Many clients prefer to be out. Just give us secure access, such as a door code, garage code or key.

Do I need to crate my pets?

No. We love pets, and there’s no need to crate friendly pets during our visit.

Can I request a particular technician?

We assign technicians based on their skills and your home’s needs, so we can’t guarantee a specific person. We never make assignments based on gender, race, religion or any other protected trait.

Scheduling & visits

Will you remind me before my cleaning?

Yes: 3 days before, the day before, when we’re on the way, and a follow-up scorecard after your clean.

Can I skip a cleaning?

Yes, with advance notice. Your regular schedule stays the same unless you change it permanently.

What if my cleaning needs more time than expected?

We’ll contact you first to talk through options, such as adding time or prioritizing certain areas.

Can I book same-day?

When we have availability, we’re happy to. Give us a call at 315-520-0118.

How do I check my next cleaning date?

Use your client portal or call our office, Monday through Friday, 7am to 5pm.

What’s your cancellation policy?

For maintenance cleans, there’s no fee with 3 or more business days’ notice. Deep cleans can be rescheduled free with 4 or more business days’ notice. Shorter notice has a fee. See the full cancellation policy in our Terms & Conditions.

Getting your home ready

Should I tidy up before you arrive?

A quick pick-up helps us focus on cleaning. We clean surfaces that are 50% covered or less. Areas with more clutter may be skipped, and we’ll note anything we couldn’t reach.

Add-ons & special requests

Can I add extra tasks?

Yes. Add-ons are requested in advance and have an additional charge.

Do you clean ovens and refrigerators?

Inside ovens and inside refrigerators are add-ons, with advance notice. The outside and top of your refrigerator are always included.

Do you do laundry?

Yes, with advance notice and an additional fee. Please separate delicates.

Move in / move out

What’s included in a move clean?

Inside appliances, empty cabinets and drawers, bathroom vanities and empty closets. Walls are included with Silver and Gold.

Do you clean finished basements and garages?

Finished basements are included when they’re fully finished, heated and livable. Garages aren’t included.

Services we don’t offer

Do you clean windows?

We don’t clean interior or exterior windows. We’re happy to recommend a window specialist.

Do you clean carpets or upholstery?

No. We’re happy to refer you to a carpet cleaning partner.

What else isn’t included?

Patios, outdoor furniture, grills, attics and curtain washing. We dust or vacuum curtains in place, dust and vacuum vent exteriors, and clean fireplace exteriors only.

Our guarantee, payment & tipping

What if I’m not happy with my cleaning?

Not 100% happy? Tell us within 24 hours and we’ll send a technician back to reclean, at no additional charge.

How do I pay?

We keep a debit card, credit card or ACH account on file. Every first-time cleaning is reserved with a 50% non-refundable deposit.

Can I tip my technician?

Yes, through your scorecard link, by calling our office, or in cash. Recurring tips can also be added to your account.
