Alyssa’s Cleaning Company Agreement

Day of cleaning 

On your scheduled cleaning day(s), Having less clutter means you get a more through cleaning. Please have as many items picked up and put away as possible. Excessive clutter may lead to a reassessment of your quote. Also, please have the kitchen sink free of dishes. A sink with more than a few dishes will NOT get cleaned. 

Satisfaction Guarantee / Refunds

Your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you are not completely satisfied with any part of your service we will return to your home to re-clean the area/task within 24-hours or we'll apply a credit into your account towards our next visit. This will not apply if you are home upon completion. If you are home and notice that the cleaner overlook something please don't keep it to yourself, tell the cleaner to re-clean the area. Complaints shared more than 24 hours after the completion of cleaning fall outside the "satisfaction guarantee" period, and unfortunately may not be covered. Since cleaning is a very personalized and subjective service, we cannot offer refunds to customers. 

ACC is not responsible for not completing or providing the Service as a result of a breach of a warranty by the Customer (including a failure by the Customer to provide utility services, a safe working environment or unencumbered access to the Premises), not proceeding for health and safety reasons; not completing or providing the Service due to an act or omission of the Customer or any other person at the Premises during provision of the Service; existing dirt, wear, damage or stains that cannot be completely cleaned or removed; any wear or discoloring of fabric or surfaces becoming more visible once dirt has been removed; or the cost of any key replacement or locksmith fees, unless keys were lost by ACC or the Cleaner.

Payments

For your convenience, we will email you an invoice within a few hours of job completion. Payment is due in full within 24 hours of sending the invoice. I will also accept A check on the day of cleaning.

Appointment Arrival Time Windows/ Being Home

If you wish to be present during the cleaning visit, please be advised that we provide arrival windows of about 30 minutes, such as between 8am - 8:30am. Many things can affect our schedules, such as cancellations, lockouts etc. If we happen to be running late to your appointment you will be contacted as soon as possible and provided with a new expected time of arrival. You are more than welcome to stay home while we clean. However, we ask that you please stay in a separate room at the time of cleaning. Also, we will not re-clean an area that we already cleaned due to pets or family members.

Photo/Video Release

Clients agree that ACC may use images and videos for display, advertising, website, social media, and other means of promotion. The photos and videos will NEVER show any personal information.

Lifting

We do not use tall ladders or move anything heavier than 50 lbs. These types of activities put us in danger of back injury or could even damage something in your home such as scratches on your floors.... If you would like us to clean behind appliances like a refrigerator, or furniture such as a sofa, please move it prior to the cleaning visit to allow access to the area.

Tipping

Although it's not necessary to tip our employees it is encouraged, and of course the best way to say job well done!

Lock Outs

A $50 fee will be assessed in the event that our cleaning associates arrive and are unable to access the premises. This fee is in place to cover expenses we incur for lost travel time and fuel.

Late Cancellations

Any appointment cancelled less than 36 hours prior to the scheduled appointment will have a $40 cancellation fee.

Job Quotations

The actual price payable by the Customer is calculated on the size of the home, the condition of the home, and the services being done by the Cleaner. Any price quoted by ACC is an estimate only based on ACC's experience, without inspection, and based on information provided by the Customer. When our cleaners get to the job, they will assess the job for an accurate quote. If at the commencement or during the course of providing the Service, it is apparent that the actual cost of the Service will exceed the quote provided by ACC, ACC will provide the Customer with an update quote. The Customer must inform ACC whether any cleaning services required are for an 'end of tenancy' at the time of quotation.

At the time of booking the Customer must provide details of any hazards, slippery surfaces, risks or dangers, ingrained dirt, grease or grime located at the Premises; The Customer authorizes ACC to debit any card with an amount equal to any service and/or cancellation fees that may apply under this Agreement. ACC reserves the right not to accept a booking for any reason.
