The total cost depends on the time needed to handle the cleaning you request. You and your cleaner will pre-determine the maximum length of each appointment, and when it should be done. The more frequently you have your house cleaned the more additional areas that can be cleaned in a specific time period.

You can your cleaner will review a list showing all the types of cleaning that can be done, and other services that you may want provided. You will work together to develop a plan that will consist of what you want done, and when you want those things done. This plan can be changed at any time you request.

Most are. It is indicated on each cleaner’s profile if they have been trained in Green Cleaning.

Non Green Cleaning solutions can harm the environment and produce exposure to toxic ingredients which can cause repository distress, eye damage, skin burns and irritations, headaches, nausea, reproductive issues, and chemical poisoning. These toxins are not only harmful to adults, but they are even more harmful to children and pets.

You can elect to have House Cleaner Plus send you green cleaning supplies for your cleaner to use. These green cleaning supplies are provided to you at a substantial discount. If this option is not selected, you should select a cleaner that agrees to provide needed supplies, or it is your responsibility to provide your cleaner with the cleaning supplies you want your cleaner to use.

You can select a cleaner that indicates on their profile that they have their own cleaning equipment. If you select a cleaner that doesn’t have their own equipment, then it’s your responsibility to provide your cleaner with the equipment they need like vacuums, brooms, swimming pool cleaning nets, leaf blowers, brooms, mops and other equipment they want their cleaner to use.

Cleaner profiles indicate which cleaners have the most experience handling delicate cleaning situations. Be sure to let your cleaner know if your home has any special surfaces that need added experience to care for.

Your cleaner will clean your home in accordance with the plan that they prepare with you. In-depth cleaning like the inside of your oven, or defrosting your freezer can be scheduled for specific dates on your plan checklist.

For high areas, you should provide a step ladder for your cleaner to use. To have your cleaner change smoke detector batteries, or clean a chandelier, or clean a vaulted ceiling fan it may be necessary to provide a higher ladder for them to use, and select a cleaner that is willing to provide that service.

No. Most of our customers aren’t home during cleaner appointments.

Many of our clients have an alarm system and they set a special code for our cleaner to activate their alarm when entering and leaving. Some clients hide a key and some use a lock box system.

Many clients feel comfortable leaving a key for the cleaner to use because they are always sent the same Cleaner that has been background checked and is fully insured.

To cancel or reschedule your appointment you just contact your cleaner online, call and make the new arrangements. If, for any reason, you cannot reach your cleaner you can click on the “Service Link” at the bottom of every page and follow the instructions.

Please understand that all our cleaners have a limited amount of available time, and they can lose an important part of their income if they can’t fill the time they allocated for you. We ask you to please contact us 48 hours before your scheduled service date so your cleaner can make alternative arrangements. If your cancellation means your cleaner cannot put another client in your spot, a fee of $50 may be charged, although we want to help you avoid incurring these fees.

If your cleaner is not able to get into your home at the time of your scheduled appointment it will be treated like a cancellation without proper notice, and you will be charged a $50 fee.

ome clients set a special code individually established for their cleaner to turn off and turn on their alarm system. Using a special access code allows you to monitor exactly when your cleaner entered your home and left. If you don’t have the ability to set a special access code it would be best to not activate your alarm for your appointment day. We can make available combination lock boxes to place your key.

If you have a pet you should be sure to select a cleaner that indicates they are pet friendly on their profile. Be sure to provide your cleaner with any special information they may need to know about your pets.

Many cleaners indicate on their profile that they are pet friendly. This means you are free to let your pets roam free with no problems at all. Be sure to discuss this with the cleaner you select. If you have a dog that’s aggressive with new people, please let your cleaner know how to handle a problem situation.

Make sure your cleaner knows to keep your dog or cat inside, especially if they may wait by the door for an opportunity to slip out when your cleaner opens the door to enter or exit. In this case, you may want to consider containing your pet on days when you know your cleaner will be visiting you.

If the cleaner’s profile indicates Pet Friendly, that means they will feed and provide water to your dog or cat, exercise or walk them, clean the litter box, poop scoop the yard, do other pet clean up, and provide some additional love and affection. They can do this at times when they come to your house to clean, and many cleaners agree to make daily visits on non-cleaning days. Many of cleaners will also allow you to leave your dog or cat with them, or stay at your house overnight or make day and night visits when you go away on a trip or vacation or just overnight rather than using a kennel or imposing on a friend. If this is not something the cleaner you select is willing to do we can help you find someone to handle this.

A kennel’s lack of attention with many dogs barking at the same time, and a new diet and a strange daily routine will often cause your pet to become distressed and upset. Your pet will normally stay in a cage unless being walked for bathroom breaks, which feels like punishment and stresses your pet. This can also cause future behavioral issues with house trained pets.
