Pricing & Policies
Services Payments
All services must be paid in advance through our online booking process. You may also pay any pending or additional bill through the Customer Center (Make Payment). If needed, we can take payment by phone at 615-290-5566.
We accept all major credit cards. We do not accept cash or personal checks. Online payments are processed securely via Stripe.
If payment is not arranged before service, a 20% administrative fee may be added.
Cleaning Service Preparation
Please provide all necessary instructions (keys, alarms, door codes, pets) before the day of service. Share special requests during booking so the team can arrive prepared.
Please pick up clutter. We clean—we do not provide clutter cleanup or organization services.
Recurring Services
After the first-time cleaning, recurring service pricing is determined by:
- The verified square footage of your home, and
- Condition feedback from the team after the first visit
Pets & Animals
We love pets, but they don’t always love us. If your pet may become overly anxious, please make temporary arrangements (crate/kennel or secure space). You can leave pet instructions during booking. We are not responsible for pets during service.
Redos & Complaints
Any complaints regarding service must be reported within 24 to 48 hours of completion to be considered for a redo. Send reports to [email protected] with the customer’s name, address, contact info, date of service, and details.
Homes not properly maintained for an extended period may require management review before a redo is scheduled.
Lock Outs
A 50% fee of your total service will be assessed if our team arrives and is unable to access the premises.
Late Cancellations or/and Reschedules
You can cancel or pause anytime—there is no contract. Because we reserve time specifically for you, schedule changes must be made at least 48 hours before your service time to avoid a 50% fee.
Rescheduling within 48 hours also constitutes a cancellation.
Why do we have this policy?
This policy reimburses cleaning team members for blocking off their schedule for you. When you book, they do not accept other work during that time.
There are no penalties for canceling outside the 48-hour window.
Returned Credit Card Fee
A $50.00 fee will be assessed for all canceled and declined payments.
Schedule and Booking Changes
All schedule changes are handled directly through the office at [email protected] or by calling 615-290-5566. Please do not make schedule changes directly with the cleaning team.
Move In/Move Out fee
Move-In/Move-Out service pricing is calculated using your home’s square footage and includes the interior of the oven and refrigerator (when this service type is selected).
Post-construction jobs
Post-construction jobs require a custom quote and are not offered as standard online bookings. Please call 615-290-5566 to discuss.
Excessively dirty policy
If the residence is excessively dirty and cannot be completed in a reasonable amount of time, we will discuss options and additional fees may apply to ensure quality is never compromised.
Overwhelming jobs
We reserve the right to reject any job we consider overwhelming or outside reasonable scope without penalty.
Clutter Clean up
We do not offer clutter clean up or organization services. We reserve the right to reject jobs that fall into clutter cleanup or are overwhelming.
More than 6–12 months since your last professional cleaning service fee
If your home has not had a professional cleaning in an extended period (commonly 12 months or more) or is significantly dirtier than average, an additional fee may apply based on square footage to allow proper time and staffing.
Note: This may not apply to Move-In/Move-Out services depending on selected service type and scope.
Pictures of before and after work
For first-time and one-time customers, our quality inspection may include before/after photos for training, proof of performance, and quality standards. If you do not want photos taken, please notify us before service.
