used on the job.

or damage caused by our employees.

3. Do you provide the cleaning supplies and equipment or do I?
We
will provide all of the cleaning supplies and equipment. This includes
cleaning solutions, sponges, rags, mops and vacuums. We actually prefer to
use our own supplies, since this is what our cleaning staff is trained to use and therefore familiar with them. If
you have any allergies to any products, please let the office staff know! We will make sure your cleaners have that information when they come to your house.
If you have products that you prefer us to use, please let us know
and provide them for us.
4. How do I pay for services?
All
invoices are generated in the office and sent to you. Payment for
cleaning services is due within 15 days of the cleaning. All payments
should be made by check or money order to The Furies.
5. What if I need to reschedule or cancel a cleaning?
All scheduling must be done through the office! We
ask that you give us 48 hours notice to cancel or change your cleaning.
We will do our best to accommodate your schedule. You will be billed
for your full normal cleaning if you cancel with less than 48 hours
notice.
6. Do the same people clean my house every time?
We
try our best to send the same team leader to your house each time.
Sometimes circumstances prevent this, so we make sure we send at least one staff member
who is familiar with the house.
7. Is it possible to have you clean only on an as-needed basis?
You
can call us as you need cleaning. During the off-season you should
call at least a week ahead to schedule a cleaning. During the summer
we are well staffed and we are able to accomodate most requests.
8. Should I tip the cleaning staff?
This
is entirely up to you. It is not required nor expected but always
appreciated!
9. Should I be home during the cleaning?
There
is no need for you to be home during the cleaning. Some people like
to be there to show the crew what they want to have done; others give instructions to the office staff if they want something special done. Those requests are conveyed to the cleaning team.
10. What about my animals?
We
all like animals. Cats are not a problem. We take care to make sure
they stay inside. Dogs can have different personalities when you are
not at home. It is a good idea to minimize any risk to our staff by
confining them into an area not to be cleaned, such as a basement,
garage, or kennel.
11. What if the staff breaks something?
Occasionally,
accidents occur. Our insurance carrier will handle any major losses,
while we usually handle the minor mishaps. The most tragic possible
loss is if something of high sentimental value and low monetary
value is broken. Be safe rather than sorry and let us know to bypass those items or put them away on your cleaning day.
12. What if my regular
visit falls on a holiday?
We
do not work on the following holidays if they fall during the week:
New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving,
and Christmas. We will do our best to reschedule you to a different
day that week.
