Dust and wipe down blinds. Select number of windows. We do not thoroughly clean plastic or metal mini blinds due to danger of breaking.

 

Spot-Clean Walls

Wipe down/Spot-clean walls within arm’s reach using soap and water. Because the integrity of paint is sometimes an issue, our cleaners err on the side of caution when applying cleaning products to the walls. They will do our best to remove basic stains, but sometimes a spot just needs a quick paint touch-up.

 

Light Organizing

Organizing, closets, cabinets and drawers, clothes and linens, de-cluttering, and light unpacking. $44/hr/cleaner, so if you choose 1 hour and we send 2 cleaners, that will give them 30 minutes of Organizing time. Please let your cleaners know what you need help organizing with the allotted time.

 

Pet Hair Removal

Pets are awesome, but messy! This extra provides additional time to remove pet hair from floors and carpets. Does not apply to Upholstery (please see our Services page for more information).

Wash, Dry, and Fold. Please communicate specific garment needs on the day of your service.

While your cleaning professionals do their absolute best every service, below we have listed items that, through years of experience, our cleaners have suggested we not offer/guarantee. Liability, safety, and the highest quality are considered at all times. If you are unsure about your cleaning or an item below, please call us to discuss, we want to make sure both you and your cleaning professionals are happy!

 

  • Cannot perform services while other services are being performed in or around the home (plumbing, painting, construction, etc.)

 

  • No Lifting or moving heavy items (Refrigerator, Stove, Tables, Furniture, etc.)

 

  • No moving vases, hung pictures, or other delicate items.

 

  • Cleaning any item or area that cannot be safely reached using telescopic cleaning tools. If your home requires cleaning of any kind beyond the limits of these tools, we will contact/refer an outside service for you.

 

  • Removing excessive pet hair from upholstery. While our Deep Clean option does include vacuuming furniture, our cleaning professionals have found that guaranteeing the removal of excessive pet hair from upholstery is too time consuming to be economical, and they are never satisfied with the end result. However, they will do their best, and we hope our clients will understand the effort taken.

Our Standard Cleaning is perfect for recurring services on a home that has been professionally cleaned within the last month and is in average condition for a well-maintained home. If you are a first-time client, or if your home has not been professionally cleaned within the last month, selecting the Deep Clean option will give your cleaning professionals the extra time and additional equipment and supplies to achieve the high-quality results they are known for. Once a Deep Clean has been performed, our Standard Clean will be the perfect choice for recurring services!

 

If you have specific areas that you would like your cleaner to concentrate on during your Deep Clean service, just let us know and we’ll make sure to add those areas to the service order.

Getting Started

Trust. A Domestic Referral Agency’s job is to thoroughly vet the best domestic professionals available, leaving you to simply choose your service and cleaning frequency. Our philosophy is, we won’t send anyone to your home unless we are comfortable having them in our own. Can you find a cleaner on your own without our help? Absolutely, you can, but we spend a great deal of effort and financial resources on interviews, background checks, work history, etc. to ensure we are providing the highest-quality teams to our clients, and we feel that you will agree that our professionals are thorough, friendly, and dedicated to performing to the best of their ability each and every service.

 

Client & Domestic Happiness. Something else that can sometimes be awkward is if it’s not working out between the cleaner and client, and the client finds themselves in the uncomfortable position of firing their cleaner. That’s where a referral agency can benefit the client greatly. Because we are constantly on the lookout for the best domestic professionals available, we can ensure that if a particular cleaner isn’t working out, we can provide a new cleaner that will be a better fit. It’s not just about the cleaning service, but it’s about the relationship, and as a referral agency we want to make sure the client and cleaner are both happy.

 

Scheduling & Communication. Having a pool of thoroughly vetted professionals at the ready is also great in the event that a particular cleaner isn’t available. We’re always able to fill the needs of the client using our world-class scheduling software. We will also communicate any changes to your service throughout the process and are available during business hours to assist you with any needs or concerns.

 

Flexibility. As a referral agency, we pride ourselves in providing our domestic professionals with the flexibility they need to serve our clients while working within a schedule that’s comfortable for them, affording them the time and freedom to spend quality time with their families.

 

Can I supply the referred Domestic Worker with equipment that I prefer them to use? Yes! One of the things that our clients enjoy about using a domestic referral agency is the open communication and teamwork they experience with their domestic professional. Do you have precious materials in your home, like stainless steel or marble? Are there chemicals that you may be allergic to? Just contact us before your service, or tell your referred domestic professional when they arrive and they will be eager to accommodate.

 

Client & Domestic Professional Teamwork. You may tell the domestic worker what to do, just don’t show them how to do it. If you get too involved, you may inherit employment responsibilities. The best way to avoid this is to leave a written list for the referred domestic worker before they begin the work. After the work is completed, we suggest doing an inspection with your domestic worker before they leave.

 

Safety & Security. Security is a major factor in hiring the perfect house cleaner for your home and your family. Maid Honest does a national and local criminal background check before we add any domestic worker to our registry. To provide additional security, we also recommend that you purchase a lock box for your home so that no one else can enter.

 

Domestic Professionals are Not Our Employees. This is an important distinction, as we do not have direct control over how your domestic professional will perform the requested service. However, it’s just as important to reflect on the benefits above and understand that in order for us to provide those benefits, we work within the Referral Agency model, and our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee means happy clients and domestic professionals!

Because we offer flat-rate pricing based on your cleaning preferences, you will never be caught off guard by the price at the end of a cleaning. Simply fill out our Booking form to see your price, choose a date for your service, and we take care of the rest!

Gift cards can be purchased here and are delivered instantaneously via email.

Yes! Your cleaning professionals are ready to provide the perfect service for your home. You can find an explanation of our extras on our Services page, you will then be able to choose any of those extras on the Booking page. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call us at (619) 304-1313.

Yes, your cleaning professionals will be well-equipped and ready to provide the best clean your home has ever seen! With years of experience, all of our teams provide a level of service that we are proud of and stand by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

Pricing & Policies

Late Reschedule/Cancellation/Lock-Out Fees: Please understand that unlike other industries such as retail, hairdressers, etc. we in the cleaning referral industry do not have the luxury of walk-in customers to supplement our schedules when a client cancels without enough notice. When we schedule your service appointment, we reserve that time for you. Your domestic professionals depend on your service being scheduled for them to make their living. Cancellations cost them dearly, and we find that if they lose out too often, they soon go elsewhere. You are vital in helping us to retain our excellent domestic partners. 

 

Please carefully read the policies below, as we must adhere strictly to them to prevent lost revenue for our domestic professionals.


For Rescheduling/Canceling A Service: Please email us at service@maidhonest.com or call/text us at (619) 304-1313 at least 48 hours before your scheduled service during business hours (8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. excluding weekends). If a service appointment is rescheduled/cancelled less than 48 hours in advance, a cancellation fee of $75 will be charged to the card on file. If you are a Weekly client and would like to skip the week of your scheduled service, your next scheduled cleaning will be at the Bi-Weekly rate. After that, your recurring services will go back to your original rate (depending on how many weeks you skip).

Same-Day Cancellation Or Lock-Out Fee: If you cancel the day of service or if your Service Professional is unable to enter the property, there will be a cancellation fee of $125 or the price of the service, whichever is less.

Delay in Access: If you insist on a specific time, please be advised that if our scheduling does have any down/wait time that we will try our best to work with you to meet your needs. We may need to charge you an additional fee to cover the time that our domestic professionals are asked to wait before accessing your home or place of business.

All cancellation fees go directly to our domestic professionals to partially compensate them for their lost revenue.

We stand by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, and your cleaning professionals take pride in providing the best service they absolutely can. In the event that you are unhappy with your service, we ask that you please contact us within 24 hours of your service and allow your cleaning professionals to return and correct any issues. They will greatly appreciate the opportunity to prove their value, and to be compensated fairly for the work performed.

Thank you for choosing Maid Honest Referral Agency! Please look over the terms below. We deeply appreciate you choosing Maid Honest Referral Agency and are excited to get started in providing you with excellent service.

 

Limitations

We love our work and happily do just about any kind of cleaning to help our clients. On the other hand, to maintain a high standard of quality, there are some limitations on what we can do.

 

1.  We reserve the right to cancel any service, for any reason.

 

2. We do not assume liability for health and safety of your pets.  While we are very mindful and careful about your pets, you are in the best position to ensure their safety and wellbeing.

 

3. Your cleaning professionals exercise reasonable care when cleaning. We are not liable for damage that is caused by “normal wear and tear”, improper installation of an item(s), or artwork, collectibles or family heirlooms valued over $200 and that is not disclosed during the time of making the appointment. If any damage or perceived damage is noticed after the cleaning professionals have left, the client must notify Maid Honest Referral Agency within 24 hours of any problem that may have occurred at the address during that day and time of the scheduled cleaning. We will contact your cleaners to assist in resolving the problem and come up with a reasonable solution. These items include but are not limited to the following examples:

 

• Carpet & Rug Snags – Carpet snags are the result of exposed loops caused by normal wear and tear, moving furniture, etc. which are snagged by a vacuum’s roller brush. In order to limit snags or fraying, we will try our best not to go near the bad areas of carpeting/rugs.

 

• Broken Blinds – Clients should be aware that there are some inherent risks each time your blinds are cleaned. Blinds will become brittle from daily exposure to the sun and aging, and strings/chords will weaken over time resulting in breaks.

 

• Improperly hung pictures/decorations/mirrors – If these items are securely/properly attached to the wall, they should not fall when the item is dusted/wiped.

 

• Artwork, Collectibles or Family Heirlooms valued over $200 – These items are expensive and/or impossible to replace. In that case, we do not assume the risk of cleaning such items.  It is the client’s responsibility to inform, in writing, of any item(s) that fall into this category.

 

• Woodwork, Vintage/Antique Wood Furniture, Un-finished & Furniture with Special Instructions – Please let us know during your booking if your woodwork, wooden furniture or vintage wooden furniture is not sealed or is made of another material other than actual wood. Please discuss your furniture care needs with specifications as per item if they need special attention in anyway. If you would like to supply your own cleaning product(s) for your specific piece(s) of furniture, leather furniture, pianos, etc., please notify us via email or mail of the preferred product(s) you will provide us with.

 

4. We need electricity and water!  If your utilities are turned off, we will gladly reschedule to when they are back on.

 

5. For safety reasons, we suggest that your cleaning professionals not utilize step ladders of any kind, and instead utilize telescopic cleaning tools to reach high areas.

 

6. Again, for safety reasons, we suggest that your cleaning professionals do not move heavy appliances and furniture.  We can clean around them and underneath, to the extent reachable.

 

7. If the home is in bad shape – broken glass, mountains of clutter, or “hoarder’s living space” – we can most likely bring it to a livable/ habitable standard.  However, the end result will not be comparable with the level of cleanliness we can achieve on a standard home.  Because of that, we will discuss this issue before starting the job and upon arrival onsite.  We will photograph before and after for potential sharing and strategizing within our company on how to best approach the cleaning.  We will neither keep nor distribute the photos for any other reason.

 

8. We will not clean animal feces and urine.

 

9. When retaining service by Maid Honest Referral Agency, you agree not to solicit for hire any cleaning professional introduced to you by Maid Honest Referral Agency for any home-related services prior to discussing the arrangement with our office. We spend a significant amount of time and resources finding, interviewing, checking references and backgrounds to provide the most qualified and trustworthy domestic professionals available. When hired, they sign an agreement barring them from performing any home related service for any of our past or present clients. However, if you do wish to employ one of our domestic professionals directly please discuss this matter with our office. If you are found to have solicited one of our domestics, please be advised that our referral fee is $1,000. We consider our domestic professionals our most valuable asset and charge accordingly.

 

10. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Maid Honest Referral Agency and its subsidiaries, agents, licensors, managers, and other affiliated companies, and their employees, owners, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from: (i) your use of any cleaning services received by you and performed by Maid Honest Referral Agency representatives; (ii) any alleged or actual loss or damage to property (including your residence), resulting from the performance of the Maid Honest Referral Agency’s cleaning professionals.

 

11. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Maid Honest Referral Agency does not warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for the cleaning services, including the cleaning services performed by Maid Honest Referral Agency representatives, or any losses or damages that may result therefrom. The service, including our cleanings, are provided to you on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Use of the service is at your own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, workmanlike quality, or non-infringement. Without limiting the foregoing, Maid Honest Referral Agency, its subsidiaries, and its licensors do not warrant that the service is accurate, reliable or correct; that the service will meet your requirements; or that the service will be available at any particular time or location, uninterrupted or secure.

 

Labor Hour

 

A labor hour is defined as one hour of labor performed by one cleaning professional. Example: 4 LABOR HOURS. If the fee is $44 per labor hour, and a team of 2 completes the job in two hours, that would be $176 total. The same is if a single cleaner completes the job in 4 hours, the fee is still $176. In both examples, 4 labor hours were expended. Having 2 cleaners or 1 cleaner DOES NOT affect the final price, only the time occupying your home.

 

There is a 3 labor hour minimum for any job, except a 2 hour minimum for weekly/biweekly service. Billable time may include loading and unloading supplies & equipment from a vehicle. If you have any questions regarding labor hours or billing procedures please call the office prior to your scheduled cleaning.

 

Time limit for your cleaning

 

A time limit is defined as the maximum amount of time pre-approved for cleaners to work, stated in labor hours (see above.) Because we quote one-time jobs sight unseen your job could take more than the estimated maximum approved time budgeted for your job. Please note that cleaners will not go over your time limit without your approval, so keep your phone on you! If we try to call for an extension, due to condition or other circumstances and are unable to reach you the cleaners will have to stop at the max budgeted time, even if the job is not finished in order to respect your price limit. For flat fee jobs, if the condition of the home requires more extensive cleaning than what average cleaning standards require, your cleaner may propose a new flat fee or convert your job to an hourly rate in order to perform the service without exceeding your approved rate.

 

If you request less time than the recommended estimate

 

The estimates we provide are based on average industry times for your sq ft or rooms. If you opt for less cleaning time than what we recommend, by booking hourly service instead of the flat fee, the cleaners may not be able to get to everything. They will work off your list of priorities and get as far down the list as possible.

 

48 Hour Cancellation/Reschedule

 

Cancellations require 48 hours advance notice to avoid a $75 cancellation fee. Please consider how late cancellations may negatively impact the cleaning professionals’ earning potential for the day. Without enough notice, it’s difficult for us to find replacement cleanings.

 

Accessibility & Lock Out

 

Please ensure cleaners have full access to the premises on the day of your scheduled cleaning (this includes access to running water and electricity, being able to complete the job without interruption from other service providers in the home, and beloved pets are not in the way of the cleaning, etc). In the event they arrive for your scheduled cleaning and find themselves unable to access the home or unable to clean, there will be a $125 fee for the time, travel, and lost revenue. This fee is not to exceed the original price of the service. The cleaning time begins once cleaners arrive. Any wait time will be included in the billable time. The arrival time is a window of time, given to you at the time of booking.

 

Final Walk-through

 

For one time cleanings, we recommend that you meet the cleaners in the home at the end of the cleaning to do a final walk through. In this walkthrough, you can make sure that everything has been completed to your liking, and if additional time is needed then you can give that permission at that time. If you cannot do a final walk through, cleaners may not have the opportunity to adjust or correct items of concern in a timely manner which is not ideal for time-sensitive cleanings (cleaning before a party, cleaning before a landlord’s final walk thru, etc.). For hourly service, job fees are calculated based on cleaning time expended; therefore we have a no refund policy. If you find that more cleaning is needed, we can easily schedule more cleaning time.

 

Please note that if you are not satisfied with your cleaning, the first step is to request a revisit with your cleaning professional to allow them the opportunity to learn and address your concerns. Cleaning professionals take great pride in their work and client satisfaction.

 

Discounts

 

Discounts cannot be combined.

 

Payment is due at the time services are rendered.

 

We accept Visa, Mastercard, and Discover. Twenty-four hours prior to your service, we will pre-authorize the card on file in order to confirm that the funds are available. However, we do not charge your card until after your service is complete. You will receive an invoice the following business day after your cleaning via email.

 

Independent Cleaning Professionals

 

Maid Honest Referral Agency is not the employer of the domestic worker referred to you. The domestic worker may be your employee or an independent contractor depending on the relationship you have with him or her. If you direct and control the manner and means by which the domestic worker performs his or her work you may have employer responsibilities, including employment taxes and worker’s compensation, under state and federal law. For additional information contact your local Employment Development and the Internal Revenue Service.

 

Permanent Domestic Referral Placement

 

A client can hire an independent cleaner for permanent domestic referral placement and work directly with the cleaner, without going through Maid Honest Referral Agency. If you wish to do so, we can send additional information. There is a $1,000 fee for the services of securing one of our domestic professionals. Soliciting a cleaner for private placement will result in a placement fee.

 

Keys

 

Maid Honest Referral Agency does not accept possession of your house key and will not be able to track it or retrieve it from your cleaning professional. We can relay any instructions on the method of entry. If you have a lock box on site, please provide the code for your client file notes.

 

Uncontrollable natural events

 

Please keep in mind that residential cleaning has some unpredictable circumstances such as vehicle accidents on the road or health emergencies with the cleaning individual that may lead to last-minute rescheduling in rare instances. It may be best to schedule your cleanings in advance of having an event or turning over a property. We are not responsible for any outcomes resulting from an emergency reschedule due to the cleaner’s inability to work.

 

Right to Refuse Service

 

We reserve the right to refuse service for any reason. Some reasons include: property or condition of the home is not as described by the client, cleaning job requested not as described by the client, cleaners feeling uncomfortable with the job site, client or pets. Please keep aggressive or overly friendly pets in a safe area.

 

Right to Reschedule

 

In order to respect all clients’ schedule, if your cleaning requires much more time than discussed, we reserve the right to schedule the additional cleaning time for a different day.

Controlling Law and Jurisdiction

 

This Agreement will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. You and the Company agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in Santa Clara, California or a United States District Court, Northern District of California located in Santa Clara, California, for any actions for which the parties retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights, as set forth in the Dispute Resolution provision below.

 

Damages and Theft

 

Maid Honest Referral Agency only registers and refers experienced professional independent housekeepers, not employees looking for an occasional job. All independent housekeepers are screened to ensure that they are legally authorized to work in the United States and have passed thorough background & referral checks. We also ask that all companies that take Maid Honest Referral Agency referrals do background checks on their cleaning professionals.

 

If you believe something is missing from your home, please confirm that the item is indeed missing. Once you are convinced the item is missing, Maid Honest Referral Agency’s management would encourage you to notify your local police department to investigate the matter. Even though Maid Honest Referral Agency is not responsible for theft and loss committed by its referred domestic workers, as an accommodation to our clients, Maid Honest Referral Agency will pay up to $500 per conviction, per incident.

 

In regard to damages, the referred housekeepers treat your home with the greatest of care; however, should damage occur while they clean your home, your independent housekeeper will be responsible for all damages.

 

Dispute Resolution

 

INFORMAL NEGOTIATIONS. To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement (“Dispute”), you and the Company agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations will commence upon written notice, as set forth above.

 

BINDING ARBITRATION. If you and the Company are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, all claims arising from use of the Service or Software (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IF EITHER PARTY ELECTS TO ARBITRATE, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Rules (and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules). If your claim for damages does not exceed $10,000, the Company will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and the Company may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

 

EXCEPTIONS TO ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court or to seek injunctive or other equitable relief on an individual basis in a federal or state court in Santa Clara County, California, with respect to any dispute related to the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights.

 

WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BE A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. You and the Company agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between the Company and you individually. YOU ACKNOLWEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND THE COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and the Company otherwise agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” Section will be deemed null and void.

 

LOCATION OF ARBITRATION. Arbitration will take place in Santa Clara County, California. You and the Company agree that for any Dispute not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, the California state and Federal courts located in Santa Clara, California have exclusive jurisdiction and you and the Company agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

 

Governing Law

 

You and the Company agree that, other than as set forth under the subsection entitled “Waiver Of Right To Be A Plaintiff Or Class Member In A Purported Class Action Or Representative Proceeding” above, if any portion of the section entitled “Dispute Resolution” is found illegal or unenforceable, that portion will be severed and the remainder of the section will be given full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the subsection entitled “Exceptions to Alternative Dispute Resolution” above is found to be illegal or unenforceable, neither you nor the Company will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of that subsection that is found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within Santa Clara, California, and you and the Company agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

 

Except as expressly provided otherwise, this Agreement will be is governed by, and will be construed under, the laws of the State of California, without regard to choice of law principles.

 

Assignment

 

This Agreement may not be assigned by you without the prior written approval of the Company but may be assigned without your consent by the Company to (i) a parent or subsidiary, (ii) an acquirer of assets, or (iii) any other successor or acquirer. Any purported assignment in violation of this section shall be void.

If any provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent under law.

This Agreement comprises the entire agreement between you and the Company and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements, whether written or oral, between you and the Company regarding the subject matter contained herein.

Other Parties

You agree that you will not bring any claim personally against the Company’s officers or employees in respect of any losses you suffer in connection with the Service or Software.

While your cleaning professionals do their absolute best during every service, unfortunately sometimes accidents occur. Thankfully, we have found situations like this to be very rare. To limit the possibility of such an accident, we suggest talking to your cleaners about any items of importance, and further, you might ask them to leave certain items untouched altogether. Your cleaning professionals are responsible for their own work, Maid Honest Referral Agency is not their employer. As such, if there is any breakage or damage, they will handle the issue with you promptly and directly. All of the cleaning professionals we partner with are fully insured specifically for these situations and will be ready to take care of any accidents.

The Day of Your Service

You can do as much or as little preparation for your service. However, your cleaning professionals reserve the right to reassess the scope of the job if they feel that there is more work than what was agreed upon in the original order. This usually isn’t an issue, but if anything changes with your booking, please let us know within 48 hours of the scheduled service. We want to make sure that your cleaners are properly prepared, adequately compensated for their effort, and that you are completely happy with your cleaning!

Absolutely, tips are not required but are always appreciated, it will make your cleaning professionals’ day! You can tip in cash directly, or let us know how much you would like to tip and we can add it to the total that is charged after your service has been completed.

On the day before your service, a hold will be placed on the card you used during the booking process. This is only to ensure that billing will go smoothly the following day, you are not charged at this time. Once your service is complete, we will charge the card on file and send you a receipt, completing the process! Your cleaning professionals cannot be paid until your payment has been received, so we strive to make this process as seamless as possible.

That’s entirely up to you! You can be home for your service, or you can provide keys/access codes for your cleaning professionals, whatever works best for your schedule. For our recurring clients, they provide a lock box at the home with a key so that their cleaning professionals simply use that key to enter the home, then place it back in the lock box for the next service. We recommend the lock box, as you can easily change the access code for any reason.

To account for travel and variations in cleaning times between appointments, we extend a 2-hour arrival window to your cleaning professionals. If they will be later than the arrival window, we will contact you as soon as possible to make arrangements in the event that your service time needs to be adjusted or rescheduled to another day. This is a very rare occurrence, but we want to make sure we have solutions in place, should the need arise.

Trust & Safety

Our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee is the gold standard that our company lives by. If you are not completely satisfied with your service, your cleaning professionals will come back out and clean anything they missed, free of charge. This isn’t something that usually happens, so when it does, your cleaning professionals will be grateful for the opportunity to make things right.

Yes! Your billing information is encrypted from start to finish. Be sure to always check for the padlock icon in the website address bar to ensure that your information is safe, no matter where you are on the web.

If anything should go wrong during your service, please don’t hesitate to contact us right away at (619) 304-1313 and we will correct the issue as soon as we possibly can.

Absolutely! We work exclusively with proven, professional cleaners. If we’re not comfortable with them in our own home, we will not work with them. We take the following steps in order to ensure that the most qualified cleaners are available to our clients:

 

  • Application Review
  • Phone Interview
  • Background Check
  • Federal Criminal Database Search
  • Professional and Personal Reference Checks
  • Final Interview
  • Ongoing follow-ups/quality checks with clients and cleaners

 

Although it can be costly and time-consuming, we believe that our rigorous vetting process is the most important aspect to providing the highest-quality cleaners to our clients. We wouldn’t settle for anything less, and neither should you!
