Your roll in the process

Prior to the cleaning technician’s arrival, please remove all items that may delay our cleaning service (i.e. dishes, children’s toys, loose papers etc.). This will maximize efficiency and minimize the time we spend to clean your house.  If you prefer that our cleaning technicians tidy these items, we will add the additional billing time and charge you accordingly. Your estimate during our initial consultation can vary based on the above factors. Time needed to clean may also change based on how your home changes, ie: if renovations, pets, children or furniture/appliances and toys have been added to the home. Upon request we can notify you if more time will be needed on certain days.

If there are any rooms you do not want us to clean please keep the door to that room/area closed. Our staff have been trained not enter rooms with closed doors so please remember to open them on cleaning days!

Payment for Services

Refresh Eco cleaning will always bill in advance for the month ahead. Payment for cleaning services is due in full upon receipt of your invoice. Any credits or funds owing will be deducted/added to next months billing cycle. Payments outstanding after 7 days of completed service will result in a 2% per day late fee per service. We understand that some people prefer not to pay in advance. If you would prefer to submit payment at time of service please let us know.

In the event of a “no show” (we arrive and no one is home and we are locked out), you will be billed the full amount of the time booked to compensate our employee’s pay.
