NEW JERSEY MOST PROFESSIONAL
AND RELIABLE HOME OFFICE CLEANER
Cancellation Policy
We always want to accommodate you. We are happy to make changes to the schedule whenever possible. However, with one full business day notice, it’s easy to fill any openings. Therefore, it’s only fair to charge a cancellation fee if you wish to cancel an appointment 24 hours or less before your scheduled appointment time.
24 hours or less: A charge of 75% of the cost of the estimate if you cancel.
24 hours or less: A charge of 35% of the cost of the estimate if you wish to reschedule.
24 hours or more ( two days or more before scheduled appointment time ): There will be NO CHARGE.
“Lock outs” If a client isn’t home to let the cleaners in or a key isn’t left for them as planned, then the cleaners will wait a maximum of 20 minutes to gain access to the premises and the wait time will be added to your bill. If they still can’t gain access after 20 minutes, it is considered a “LOCK OUT” and you will be billed for 100% of the cost of the cleaning.
Similarly, we often require two full business days notice for a confirmation. If we contact to confirm and do not hear back within 48 hours, the appointment time likely won’t be available any longer (NO CHARGE). The only appointments that is bond to this are clients who have confirmed their appointment.
What are your rates?
Our rates vary based on the size of the house (number of bedrooms/bathrooms etc..) and the frequency of the cleanings (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, one time). We are happy to give you a free estimate if you fill the contact form or if you’d prefer to speak with us, please call us at (973-855-2499) during our regular business hours and we'll schedule you for a free estimate.
What if I can’t be home during the cleaning?
Most of our clients can’t be home during the cleaning. You can always give us instructions on how to enter your home via a call, text or email.
What types of cleanings do we do?
Our most popular services are Weekly, Bi-Weekly, or Monthly Cleanings. We also do One-Time Cleanings and Move-In/Move-Out Cleanings. If you live in a condo and are interested in just having the common areas cleaned (hallways, foyers), we can do that too! We also clean small Offices.
Do I need to provide equipment and cleaning supplies?
No. We provide our own quality equipment and cleaning supplies. Although If you have a product that you prefer, and we do not carry it, we would be happy to use yours.
How do I prepare my home for the cleaning?
Try to organize your things so that our time can be better spent on actual cleaning. If you are in need of us organizing your things, we certainly can accommodate you.
How will the cleaners enter my house?
Most of our recurring clients leave us keys to enter the house. Some give us codes to keyless entry systems or lockboxes. Keys are kept on coded keychains in a lockbox, in a locked office. If you live in a building with a concierge, we can pick up the key at the front desk.
Should I leave a tip?
Tips are not only extremely appreciated, but also an important portion of a cleaners income. Just like tipping bartenders, hairdressers, and delivery drivers who provide 20 to 40 minutes of service, it is the standard to tip house cleaners, who are providing two to four hours of incredibly difficult service.
Tips can vary based on performance but usually equal to 10% of the total bill per cleaner, but additional gratuity for adequate service is greatly appreciated, should be given on-site and must be given separately from your cleaning payment.
How do I pay for my cleaning?
We take Cash, Zelle, Venmo and Cash App.
Do your prices include everything, such as taxes, insurances, and employee-related details?
Yes, we take care of all this for you. Some are surprised to hear that a cleaning service would charge sales tax, but its true! Each month, we’re charged 8% sales tax from the federal government, plus an additional 3% from New Jersey for local sales tax.
