NOT INCLUDED: Extras are not included in this plan, but if you select our “Customizable Plan” we will gladly make any additions you need to get the clean you want (additional cost will be applied). As well, the extra time/cost built into the "Deep Clean Plan" allows for some additional “chores” and more detailed work in the “INCLUDED” section above.
This is our all-inclusive package. Our most detailed plan - it takes MORE TIME than any other plan. Along with everything in a "Deep Clean Plan"- extras include: baseboards wiped , inside refrigerator, inside cabinets (cabinets must be empty). This Plan is designed to turn the home someone once lived in into its original state and ready for new homeowners.
INCLUDED: Everything in our "Standard Clean Plan" PLUS in all rooms: Baseboards dusted. Wall/chair moldings wiped down. Window sills wiped. Light switches and door handles sanitized. Back splashes, faucet fixtures and countertop appliances polished and shined. “Extra Time” included for high detail. NOT INCLUDED: Organization is considered as an extra outside the limits of this package; for organizational requests, CALL to book a "Customizable Plan" and we can make sure the time is allotted to achieve the clean you need. Any extras must be selected “a la carte” upon quote request at an additional cost for each extra service chosen.
Yes! It is actually preferred after the initial visit. This way we don’t hold you up if there is traffic or if parking is a little harder than usual to find. You will coordinate this with management at time of booking and if ever a change needs to be communicated. We suggest programming a specific door code (if applicable) for The Gleam Team, as this is the easiest way to monitor and ensure entry!
Unless the “Green Clean Plan” is selected, we use a variety of tested, approved, and preferred cleaning products. In some instances “harsh” chemicals are required to clean and shine tough areas (Ex. A glass shower door with severe calcium buildup will require CLR to clean). We highly value the health and safety of our customers and ourselves, thus precautions are taken to ensure both. Look at our "Green Clean Plan" for further options.
In most cases this is because the initial state of the space required more time to clean than our formula allotted once our Teammates arrived and assessed. Most often the time discrepancy occurs in the Cleanliness Questionnaire process. In this case, the Teammate will contact management and an extension or additional booking can be made.
We get it, pre-payment can feel a bit off-putting. But here's the scoop: we introduced this policy to combat the rise in fraudulent bookings during the COVID-19 pandemic. In our three years of operation, this system has been a win-win for both our clients and us. Your payment isn't just going to the cleaner who makes your home gleam. It's spread across the company to cover insurance, bonding, employee wages, taxes, and all the top-notch cleaning supplies we use. Plus, your card isn't charged immediately; it takes a few days post-cleaning to process, so we can focus on delivering exceptional service. By embracing our pre-payment policy, you're supporting a professional, well-oiled machine dedicated to making your home shine. Trust us, it's worth it!
To make sure we get your home gleaming in one go, be brutally honest about its current state: - **Slightly Dirty**: Professionally and deeply cleaned within the last 3 months. - **Pretty Dirty**: Professionally cleaned, but not deeply or within the last 6 months. - **Very Dirty**: Not professionally or deeply cleaned within the last year. This helps us allocate the right amount of time and avoid any need for a second session.
When booking, be sure to be brutally honest and accurate in answering the pre-booking questions on the Questionnaire. This ensures the proper amount of time is allocated for cleaning your home during your scheduled booking. Improper booking information may require you to have to reschedule at a full rate.
