Booking, Confirmation, and Appointment Details
Service Request: When you request our services, you agree to the terms and conditions specified herein.
Confirmation: Booking a service does not guarantee an immediate spot. You will receive confirmation via email or phone call/text to confirm your appointment once finalized in our system.
Appointment Arrival Window: Cleaning appointment arrivals are scheduled for a certain time; however, specific times are not guaranteed due to the nature of this business. We generally arrive no later than 30 minutes after the window start-time, with a reasonable arrival window allowance of 1 hour from the scheduled start time. While we strive to adhere to the schedule, slight delays may occur due to unforeseen circumstances. We will always reach out by phone or text if we are running behind schedule.
Right to Refuse Service: We reserve the right to deny or terminate service in the event of inappropriate conduct, inaccessible or disconnected necessary utilities (electricity, running water), safety concerns, excessively cluttered or unsanitary conditions, or dangerous appurtenances (e.g., weapons, live wires). Our cleaners may refuse service on the spot, and a cancellation fee will apply.
Safety and Service Limitations: In to ensure safe working conditions and appropriate boundaries for our cleaners:
• We do not handle mold removal or areas containing bodily fluids or excretions.
• Our cleaners do not lift items exceeding 50 pounds. If you would like areas cleaned behind/under heavy furniture, please have it moved in time for your appointment.
• Our cleaners do not climb higher than a 6-foot step ladder and do not perform work outside the home.
• We are unable to service hoarding homes, as this requires specialized assistance we do not provide.
Rescheduling and Cancellation Policy
Notice Period: A minimum of 24 hours' notice is required for cancellations or rescheduling to avoid a fee.
Fees: Cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment are subject to a cancellation fee of R50, and re-scheduled appointments incur a fee of R25.

Service Fees: While we provide instant prices based on our experience and the information provided on the client booking form, prices may be adjusted based on the actual condition of the premises. If the condition deviates significantly from what is represented on the booking form, we will contact you to discuss adjustments. If we cannot establish contact within 60 minutes of the scheduled start of the appointment window, the cancellation (R50) or rescheduling (R25) fee will be charged.

Security System: If your property has a security system, please provide any necessary codes and instructions for use during cleaning.
