What if something is damaged during the cleaning? Are my valuables safe?

We treat your home with complete care and respect. However, should damage or breakage occur while we are cleaning, Pretty in Pink Maids will make every effort to repair or if necessary, replace the item.
If you have any special valuables, heirlooms or irreplaceable items, please put them away or instruct us not to touch them. A closed door or drawer is your signal to us that you do not want that area to be cleaned.

No. Pretty in Pink Maids brings all the equipment and normal cleaning supplies so you never need to worry about replenishing your supply for our maids.

Do I need to be home when Pretty in Pink Maids comes?

This is your option. The large majority of our clients prefer NOT to be home when we clean. Some clients let us in before they leave for work and show us how to let ourselves out.
You may give us a key to be safely stored. Only the owner and/or production manager can access the client key. Maids are driven by the manager to your home for every cleaning appointment. The keys are stored in the safe by the owner and/or manager after they leave your house each evening. These keys are returned to the key safe until the next cleaning appointment.

How do I pay for the service?
You may pay by cash, check or paypal made payable to Fernanda Sullivan. Payment is due at time of service. If you do not intend to be at home at time of service you may choose to either leave cash or a check on the kitchen counter the morning of your cleaning. A fee will be assessed for all returned checks.

How does Pretty In Pink Maids come up with it’s pricing?
Each home is different.  There are several factors that determine pricing, such as square footage, time, pets, children, etc. A significant factor in price is how often we clean your home.  If it is a weekly job, then the price could be less than a monthly job because homes tend to get dirty over a long period of time. We recommend having your home cleaned at least twice a month, possibly weekly, depending on the complexity of your home.

What about commercial pricing?
A: Commercial pricing is a totally different price structure. But, it still comes down to complexity of the job, frequency of the cleanings, and the total time it takes to get the job done .

Will All Visits Cost the Same Amount?
The first visit usually costs more than subsequent visits. Generally, it takes additional cleaning tasks to get the home up to Pretty in Pink Maids standards. Your estimate for this visit will be expressed as a cost range.

Once this initial visit has occurred, your home’s cleanliness can be easily maintained with our regular visit cleaning tasks. Regular visits are charged as a flat fee. You will receive an estimate for both the initial cleaning and the regular cleanings up front. Once the initial house cleaning has been completed, we will confirm your regular cleaning price.

Every house is unique, and every cleaning fee is individually based. Things that will affect the amount of your house cleaning estimate include the size of your home, number of residents, number of pets, number of bathrooms, how often you want us to clean, etc. We have a standardized formula for calculating each individual cleaning estimate in a uniform way. If you would like to see the information gathered to estimate your house cleaning fees, simply call us for a Free In-Home estimate or check our estimate rates (click here) so you can have an idea of prices.

Do you guarantee a day and time for my cleaning appointment?
Pretty in Pink Maids ordinarily guarantee a specific day for your cleaning, doing our best to be there at your desired time. If you need a specific time guarantee, feel free to discuss this with us. Within reason, we will do our best to reach a mutually agreeable solution.

What if I need to reschedule a cleaning?
Simply call us prior to your cleaning day. We really appreciate a minimum 48-hour notice to reschedule your cleaning.
Unlike the airlines, we do not overbook our schedule. So, if you need to reschedule a cleaning without proper notice, we will not have enough opportunity to fill the schedule with another client.
We have a cancellation fee and will assess the fee if necessary, although we want to help you avoid incurring these fees!

What if I accidentally lock Pretty in Pink Maids out on my cleaning day?
Just as with Rescheduling fees, if you lock the team out on cleaning day, you will likely be assessed a lock-out fee. Please be sure you understand Pretty in Pink Maids lock-out fees. We want to help you avoid incurring these additional fees!
Most of our clients either provide us a key or hide one on the premises on cleaning day.

What should I do about my security/alarm system on cleaning day?
If you have a security system, please make necessary arrangements to give your Pretty in Pink Maids team access to your home on your scheduled day. Some clients establish a guest or temporary code for Pretty in Pink Maids.

Back to top

What should I do with my pets during the cleaning?
Please advise us if you have pets and provide any information regarding your pets that would be helpful for us to know. Though not a requirement, we prefer pets to be restricted from the areas we clean, to allow us to clean your home better and more efficiently.

Back to top

What about holidays or changing a scheduled cleaning visit?
If your scheduled cleaning falls on a major holiday, we will contact you to reschedule your service. If you need to change a scheduled cleaning visit we appreciate a 72-hour notice. When short notice is given, we may need to charge a fee if the team cannot be reassigned.
