CUSTOMER GUIDELINES

We offer 3 entry options to choose from:

1.You opt to be home to allow access to your home on the day of the service. Have It Maid cannot guarantee the exact arrival times but we do offer two-hour arrival windows up until 4pm. The first appointment of the day is between 8:30-9am, then we switch to 2-hour arrival windows for the rest of the day.

2.You provide a key or code to gain access to the home. Keys will be placed in a secure safe at the Have It Maid office. Our driver or team will be issued a key the day of your scheduled service to gain access to your home. The key will be signed out by our driver or team and signed in after each scheduled service and placed back in the safe. The keys are not marked with any of your personal information in case they are lost. In the event the code given is not correct and our cleaners cannot gain access to your home, you are responsible for the lock out and a cancellation fee of $100.00 will be charged for that service.

3.You can purchase a lock box to place a key inside and provide Have It Maid with the pass code. If for any reason the key is not in the lock box or the code does not work when our cleaners arrive to clean your home, you are responsible for the lock out and a cancellation fee of $100.00 will be charged for that service.

NOTE: Occasionally, people ask if they can “hide a key for us” for cleaning day. We are happy to keep your spare key in our office where we can be sure it’s secure. Otherwise, our insurance provider prohibits us from retrieving keys from under mats, potted plants, statues of cherubs spitting water into koi ponds…you get the picture.

Have It Maid will not be liable for any false alarms charges due to code changes not brought to our attention before servicing your home.

It is very difficult to commit to an exact arrival time because of our ever changing schedule and the fact that we don’t finish cleaning each home at an exact time. We service homes between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. and will strive to be at your home within a 2-hour window.

In the event that you reschedule, skip, add or cancel your service, we ask that you give us 24-hour notice. Without 24-hour notice, you will be charged a cancellation fee. Cancellations on the same day of service, for any reason, will be charged the full rate of service. All cancellations must be made through our office

NOTE: All cancellations will also cause the rate for your next cleaning to increase to the next level For example: If you are serviced weekly and you skip a service, you will have to pay the bi-weekly rate for your next cleaning. If you are serviced bi-weekly and you skip a service, you will pay the monthly rate for you next cleaning.

Have It Maid has a “no check/no clean” policy. Payment is due in full the day of the service. If you are not paying by credit card, please leave payment on the counter in an envelope marked Have It Maid. 7 days without payment, $25 late fee.

Our cleaners need to be able to work without distractions. Every effort is made for our cleaners to work safely, but we cannot assume liability for the safety of others while cleaning your home. This includes children and pets. If our cleaners are not able to work without distractions that affect their ability to work in their normal speed, Have It Maid reserves the right to charge for the extra time spent in your home. If for any reason one of our staff feels that his or her personal safety is in danger, enough to leave the job site due to actions by a client, the client’s guests or animals, that client will be liable for the full cost of the service.

We love pets! But for their own safety and the safety of our cleaners, please put your pets in a pet carrier or secure area of the home or garage.

If an item is broken by one of our cleaners, Have It Maid will pay up to $100 per item or replacement cost when value is verifiable. Please remove any item that is irreplaceable prior to your scheduled cleaning.

Have It Maid reserves the right to photograph damaged or excessively dirty areas. In areas of the home with extreme clutter, Have It Maid reserves the right to skip those areas in order to avoid damaging items or injuring our cleaners. Surfaces such as hardwood floors and natural stone should be in good condition and ready to clean without causing harm to the surfaces when using a neutral pH cleaner.
