TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Clients agree to all of the terms and conditions upon booking our cleaning services.

Arrival Time Policy:

Due to various factors, exact arrival times cannot be guaranteed. We require flexibility between business hours. Our cleaners strive to arrive as close as possible to your scheduled time. Please expect our cleaners within a 30-minute arrival window from the start time provided to you.

Example: Informs client that the clean will start at 9am. Our cleaners could come between 8:30am - 9:30am (30min before or after the set time).

If our cleaners anticipate arriving earlier or later than this window, we will promptly notify you with an estimated arrival time. If the new time is inconvenient and requires rescheduling, you will not be charged any rescheduling fees.

​

Snow day Policy:

If your cleaning requires transportation on any roads/highways that are deemed unsafe by Nexus and/or Transport Canada, we have the right to reschedule any cleanings to another day when the roads are deemed safe. You will not be responsible for our rescheduling fee on these snow days.


Property Access Policy:

You must provide access and accessibility to the property including shoveling and providing adequate parking. If our cleaners have to pay for parking the parking fees will be added to your invoice.

We accept keys, entry codes, instructions for a hidden key, or require the client to be present for our cleaners to access the property. Please be advised that we are not liable for any missing or lost keys provided to us by the client. In the event access is not possible, we will promptly contact you. If our cleaners are unable to access the property for any reason, not at fault of our own and there is no response from the client after 15 minutes of the cleaners arrival time, our 50% cancellation fee will be applied.


Cleaning Supplies Policy:

We supply all necessary cleaning supplies for our services. Our teams are unable to use client-provided cleaning products unless approved in advance. Please note, we are not liable for any damages resulting from the use of client-supplied products or equipment.

We provide small garbage bags for bathrooms, bedrooms, offices, etc. However, we do not supply large garbage bags for kitchens or larger bins. Clients are required to provide large garbage bags if they have requested kitchen garbage removal as part of their cleaning service.

Please inform us in advance if there are any specific cleaning products or methods you would like us to use. If no instructions are provided and any damage occurs, we cannot be held liable.

The client must provide access to running water. Failure to do so may result in incomplete cleaning or you may be subject to an inconvenience fee or rescheduling fee.


Cleaning Hours:

During your cleaning session, you may have either 1 or 2 cleaners assigned.

If a property is quoted for 5 hours of cleaning, the schedule may appear as follows:

  • 1 Cleaner: Cleans continuously from 9 am to 1 pm, totaling 5 hours of cleaning time.

  • 2 Cleaners: Each cleaner works for 2.5 hours, starting at 9 am and finishing at 11:30 am, resulting in a combined total of 5 hours of cleaning time.

In these examples, both situations result in the same charge for the client.

​

Online/Sight Unseen Quotes Policy:

The quoted amount is based on the estimated labor hours required to complete the work. Since we provide quotes for homes without seeing them in person, the actual service time may vary. If the team requires more time than estimated, we will contact you for approval during the service using the phone number provided at the time of booking. If you do not approve the additional time or we are unable to reach you, we will proceed with the originally quoted time. Please note that this may result in the clean or specific areas being incomplete. We will inform you of any unfinished tasks. Also note that the unapproving of addition time on a clean is not eligible for our 24hr guarantee.


Custom Cleaning Requests/Add-ons/Changes/Discussions/Notes regarding your property or clean Policy:

If you have any custom requests, changes, add-ons, or specific notes for our cleaners, please provide all details to management prior to your scheduled cleaning. Any changes, requests, or additional cleaning needs must be approved by management before your cleaner's arrival to ensure they are properly equipped and allotted enough time. Cleaners are not authorized to add or accept extra requested services without management's approval. Please note that all cleaners have the right to refuse any unapproved requests.

Please note that some requested tasks may be subject to additional charges. Any extra charges will be communicated to you prior to completing the task.

​

Cleaning Exclusions:

The following tasks are not covered under our Regular/Standard services: Cleaning behind fridges and stoves (If you would like behind the fridge or stove cleaned, you must pull the fridge or stove out before the cleaners arrival), mold and mildew removal, hard water stain removal, wall cleaning, washing light fixtures or chandeliers, removing and cleaning window screens, laundry services, cleaning window tracks, removing windows, washing unfinished concrete floors, dealing with hoarding situations, extensive organizing, sorting, decluttering, scrubbing grout lines, or any work considered as restoration.


Consistent Cleaner Policy:

When you schedule ongoing cleaning services with us, you have the option to keep the same cleaner for each visit. If your assigned cleaner is unavailable on the day of your scheduled cleaning, we will send another qualified cleaner to complete the service. This will be communicated to you prior to the cleaning to ensure you're comfortable with the changes.

Please note that changing the time or date of your ongoing cleanings may result in a time frame where your regular cleaner may not be available. In this case, we will reach out to find a solution.


If you are ever dissatisfied with your assigned cleaner, we are committed to resolving the situation to your satisfaction. Upon your request, if another cleaner is available, we can assign a different cleaner to your ongoing cleanings.

Tipping is not required but If you would like to tip your cleaner(s), you have the option to add a tip online via the payment link in your invoice or if you prefer to tip in cash, please label it clearly as "TIP" for our team's acknowledgment. 100% of tips go to the cleaner(s).

If you are paying by e-transfer, any amount sent above the invoiced total will be assumed to be a tip and will go to the cleaner(s).
