We take privacy very seriously.
We will not share any customer information with any outside source.
Our team members will be respectful while in the client's home and will not answer doorbells or telephones.
For training, quality check purposes, and our records, we may take pictures in the client's home, but we will never share them with any outside source. If we want to use some pictures of our work for marketing purposes, we will always ask for the client's permission to use them publicly.

​

3. Equipment and Supplies

We will provide all of the cleaning supplies and equipment to provide the service. However, if the client has a specific name brand or is allergic to anything, we ask that they provide those products.

 

4. Special Treatment

Suppose a client requests or requires Erika's House Cleaning LLC to use the client's equipment or supplies. In that case, we are not taking any responsibility or liability for the used equipment or any damage that can happen while using the client's equipment or supplies.
If any of the client's belongings as furniture, decorations, art pieces, etc., need any special treatment or have sentimental value to the client and need to be handled in a specific way, then the client needs to notify Erika's House Cleaning LLC about that prior to the service in writing.

 

5. Preparation for Cleaning

The client should pick up clothing, toys, and other household items and take care of dishes before the service. The client should make sure there is no clutter or dirty dishes on surfaces that are expected to be cleaned by our team. The better the client's house is prepared for our visit, the better service we will be able to provide.
The client should ensure that all trash, including hygiene products, has been appropriately disposed of in the trash bins.
If the house or certain areas is not prepared for our cleaning, Erika's House Cleaning LLC reserves the right to skip those areas with no price change for the scheduled service. 
If we are changing bed sheets, please put clean sheets on each bed.

For example, suppose any of the parents or another designated person does not resolve any safety risk situation involving kids reasonable, timely manner. In that case, we reserve the right to leave the job at any time with a full-service charge.

 

7. Pets

We are pet-friendly but appreciate the client's help in ensuring pets are secure and safe. The client should inform us of any special requirements for safeguarding pets. However, pets are always the client's responsibility, and the client takes full liability for our team member's safety when working in the presence of their pets and their pet's safety during our services.
