Understanding Our Approach to Providing a Safe, Respectful, and Efficient Move in and Move Out Cleaning Service

Our commitment to safety and respect for your personal space shapes our service approach, and so we've outlined a few important aspects for your understanding:

​

  1. Safe Reach & Extended Dusting: We tailor our cleaning efforts to ensure the safety of our team and the integrity of your home. Our cleaning scope predominantly includes areas comfortably and safely reachable from the floor level, with the aid of a 6ft extended Swiffer for dusting and removing cobwebs and utilizing a stepstool that will give us approximately 8ft reach for hand wipe. This approach ensures a safe working environment. However, we understand that some homes may require cleaning in higher places. If needed, this can be arranged upon request, where we will bring the proper equipment like bigger step stools or ladders. Rest assured, these tasks will be performed by properly trained and insured cleaning technicians who specialize in high cleaning work.

  2. Furniture, Personal Items: Our focus remains on the house surfaces for Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning Services we expect the house will be empty without of furniture, decorations, pictures, or other personal items.

  3. Preparation for Cleaning: We are committed to providing a thorough and effective cleaning service. To help us in this endeavor, we kindly ask our clients to remove any extended trash, all personal items, food, and all other items from the inside of kitchens and bathroom cabinets. Empty the Fridge and freezer. Please do not schedule other inside-of-house services like Carpet Cleaning, Painters, Plumbers, etc for the same day as our service! 

  4. Appliances and Specific Features: Some areas require specific care and handling that go beyond the scope of our cleaning. These include cleaning hood air filters and moving large kitchen appliances such as refrigerators or stoves. Our aim is to provide comprehensive cleaning without risking damage to these sensitive and often high-value items.

  5. Trash Management:  As part of our cleaning service, we manage regular waste disposal. However, we request that all personal hygiene products and any other sensitive trash items are appropriately disposed of in trash bins by the client beforehand. This is to maintain hygiene standards and respect personal boundaries.

Our intention is to offer a service that strikes a balance between thorough cleaning and respect for your personal space and belongings. Your understanding and cooperation with these guidelines enable us to provide a high-quality cleaning service focused on enhancing the comfort and cleanliness of your home. We sincerely appreciate your cooperation and trust in our service.
