HOW CAN WE HELP?

Cleaning Details

Every home is different — some are small, some are large, some are relatively clean and some are extremely dirty. Divide your quote by $38/maid and you’ll get a reasonable estimate of the cleaning hours it will take to finish the job on average (we send our cleaners in teams of two).
Our quote system is designed to be accurate for most regular homes that we come across, but your cleaning session may take longer if your home is dirtier than initially expected. If this is the case, your maids will inform you before beginning the cleaning.
Our rates are $78/hour for a team of 2 maids for first-time cleanings. Subscribe to regular cleaning and receive up to a 20% discount on your first clean, and a discounted rate of $72/hour for every session after that!

Our move in/move out cleaning package is a more thorough cleaning that’s perfect for you if you’re moving out of your home and need to pass your landlord’s condition inspection. Simply check the “Move In/Move Out cleaning” box when booking your appointment. Naturally, move out cleans take longer than one-time and maintenance cleans because of the additional work involved.
Yes, our cleaners bring their own supplies. We make sure to use environment-friendly cleaning products that are completely safe for any children and pets around the house.

If you want to use your own supplies, no problem! Simply let the cleaners know at the beginning of the session.

If all you need is a one-time clean, we can accommodate you. However, clients who subscribe to recurring cleanings enjoy lots of savings than one-time cleaning clients.

What kind of savings, you ask? You get a 20% discount from your first clean, and all subsequent sessions will only be billed at the rate of $36/hour/maid.

Here’s an example. Let’s say Sally, who stays in a 2 bedroom/1 bathroom apartment, decides to subscribe to a biweekly cleaning.

Her first session takes a team of 2 maids 2.5 hours to finish, which means her final invoice should be $195 at the rate of $78/hour/maid.

But because she’s a biweekly subscriber, she’ll receive a 20% discount and only be billed $156 for her first clean.

Naturally, her second cleaning session is simply a maintenance clean and doesn’t take as long. Because her cleaning team from the previous session can work more efficiently, it only takes them 1.75 hours to finish this time around.

As a subscriber, she receives a discounted rate, so it only costs her $72/hour — which puts her final invoice at $126, an even lower rate than the first cleaning session!

We do our very best to estimate in advance how long your job will take. But every home is different, so your cleaning team may need more time than expected. Upon arrival, we do a quick walk-around to give you a more accurate quote.

If you don’t want to go above the allotted time, simply let us know before we begin cleaning.

Not at all! All you have to do is be home to let our maids in your home, and you can step out as soon as our cleaners are in. If you’re going to be out for a while, our maids can simply lock the door on the way out. You could also leave your keys somewhere (a neighbor, under the mattress, at the front desk, etc.) and give our maids instructions on where to pick it up.
While our cleaners do their best to arrive 10-15 minutes before your scheduled arrival time, please understand that unforeseen circumstances such as traffic, accidents, weather, etc.

Because of this, please allot a window of 30-45 minutes for the cleaners to arrive. Don’t worry; if we’re running late, we’ll shoot you a call.

Billing and Policies

You don’t need cash when you book with Fresher Cleaning! We accept all major credit cards. We will charge the credit card you have on file before your booking.

Your card will not be charged until the job is complete and you are satisfied.

All payments are processed through Stripe, a secure, SSL-encrypted, PCI-compliant system trusted by companies worldwide.

That’s up to you. One of the benefits of using Fresher Cleaning is booking a job with the convenience of not needing cash on hand to pay cleaners. However, if you feel the professional deserves a tip, you are free to tip them in whatever amount you choose.

We encourage tipping your cleaner if you feel they did a great job, and believe me — they appreciate it too! If you do choose to tip your cleaner, we prefer payment in the form of cash.

Your credit card will only be charged after your cleaning session, and an invoice will be emailed to you using the email address you provided.

In some instances, a hold may be placed on your card the day before your service. Keep in mind that this is not a charge — some banks may show this as a charge, but please note that this is simply a pre-authorization.

Trust & Safety

To ensure that all of our customers have the best experience possible, all professionals are thoroughly vetted. Each cleaner we hire must pass extensive background checks and an in-person screening. Furthermore, each professional is required to have paid experience in their field and provide valid references.
As careful as one may be, accidents still happen every now and then. Independent maids are unlikely to have insurance, meaning you could be held liable for accidents and injuries.

But not to worry, because we’re insured and bonded — so if one of our cleaners get in an accident while inside your home, you’re completely safe and protected from any liability.

Yes! We handle all billing through industry-leading payment technology provided by Stripe. Their SSL-encrypted, PCI-compliant system is trusted by companies worldwide.
