Can I trust your cleaning staff?

Your home is one of your biggest investments, and we understand inviting someone inside requires A LOT of trust. That's why we carefully hire, train, and support every member of our team. We treat your home with the same respect we'd want for our own.​ As the owner always says, “If I can't trust you in my own grandmother’s home, I won't trust you in our clients’ homes.”

We don’t choose just anyone to join our team. We choose people who are trustworthy, dependable, caring, and committed to providing excellent service.

What can I can do to prepare for my cleaning visit?

Routine Cleaning:

To help us provide the best cleaning possible, please:

  • Wash or put away dishes before we arrive so we can fully clean and sanitize your kitchen sink.

  • Have a working upright vacuum available for routine cleanings. (We bring our own vacuum for initial and deep cleanings.)

  • Tidy up floors, counter tops, and other surfaces as much as possible so we can focus on detailed cleaning rather than picking up. If you need extra tidying, let us know ahead of time and we'd be happy to add it to your service!

  • Please place a toilet brush next to each toilet. We do not carry toilet brushes from home to home.

  • Heavily decorated or cluttered areas may be cleaned around if we cannot safely move the items.

 

Deep Cleaning:

To help us clean your home as thoroughly as possible, please:

  • Remove items from heavily decorated shelves, counter tops, and surfaces you'd like us to fully clean.

  • Put away important documents, valuables, and fragile or sentimental items.

  • Let us know about anything delicate, loose, or damaged (such as blinds, mirrors, light fixtures, or family heirlooms) before we begin.

  • Clear dishes from the kitchen sink and counter tops.

  • Remove trash, dirty dishes, and unnecessary clutter from bedrooms and living areas.

  • Place a toilet brush next to each toilet. We do not carry toilet brushes between homes.

  • If you'd like us to clean behind heavy furniture, please move it about one foot away from the wall before we arrive.

  • Roll up or move small rugs in bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways if you'd like the floors underneath cleaned.

 

Don't worry if everything isn't perfect! We understand life gets busy. These recommendations simply help us spend more time cleaning and less time preparing, so you get the best possible results during your appointment.

What is NOT covered under our services?

Upon committing to our cleaning and/or organizational services you will receive via email a detailed checklist of what exactly our services cover. Below is a list of services we do not offer at this time: 

  • Laundry or Dish Services

  • Enter Drawers or Closets in Kitchen, Bedrooms, or Bathrooms (unless instructed by a client or agreed upon prior to your scheduled service date)

  • Extensive Grout Cleaning in Showers/tubs/floors (we recommend a trained grout specialist/company) 

  • Climb Higher Than a Two-Step Ladder 

  • Clean TV Screens (dust only)

  • Opening Windows (we clean inside window GLASS only)

  • Move Furniture/Antique or Delicate Decor (homeowner must move prior to our visit if desired)

  • Move Appliances

  • Move Around/Clean Under Excessive Decor

  • Remove/Clean any pet waste, any other type of animal waste, or pet/bug infestation. 

  • Hand wipe Tall/Elaborate Chandeliers

  • Hand wipe This Plastic or Metal Mini Blinds

  • Clean Unfinished Basements 

  • Wash Walls (we have a great, experienced local company we partner with for this service) We will dust them. 

  • Washing floors by hand (we use a flat mop system) 

  • Clean Up Any Pet/Rodent Waste (a paper towel will be placed on top if any accidents!) 

Do I need to start with a deep cleaning?

Chances are if you are even questioning it, the answer is yes! It is most ideal to start with a deep cleaning to get your home ready for routine maintenance. Soap scum built up on the shower door or dark spots on the bottom of the tub? Dust collecting on light fixtures, fan blades, and on window sills? Backslash in the kitchen full of splattered pasta sauce or grease from years of cooking? We need extra time to deep scrub all of the surfaces in your home, a regular maintenance cleaning just won't do the trick.

How do I pay for my visit?

We collect your payment information during the booking process to allow for hassle free payment! We require all new clients to put a credit or debit card on file to book with us. We will not charge you until the day of your scheduled cleaning.

 Tipping your cleaning staff

A tip is never expected but always appreciated! Our trained professional cleaning technicians work very hard to care for your home or space. In the service industry tipping etiquette is 10-20%. An automatic text message will be sent out to each client to give them the opportunity to bless their cleaning technician/s for that day of service. If you wish to be removed from this tipping program, just simply op out of it when you receive your first message! You may also leave cash if desired.

Do I need to be home during my cleaning?

Most of our clients are busy at work or doing more of what the LOVE while we are busy sprucing up their home for them! So the answer is no, you do not have to be there. We ask you provide us with a way of entry whether that is a spare key, garage code, or entry door code. We always lock up behind us when leaving unless instructed otherwise by the client. If in the event the cleaners are not able to get in there may be a "lock out" fee charged for that visit.

Why doesn't your company move heavy furniture, beds, couches, stoves, or refrigerators to clean behind?

This is a great question! At All Spruced Up Cleaning Co., the safety of our team is our top priority. To protect our employees and comply with our insurance policy, OSHA guidelines, and workers' compensation requirements, our technicians cannot move heavy furniture or use tall ladders.

If you'd like us to clean behind furniture, we ask that it be moved before we arrive. We are happy to clean any areas that can be reached safely using our approved equipment. We encourage clients to move out any large furniture pieces about 1 foot away from the wall so we can get behind for initial and deep cleans.

What if I am not 100% satisfied with my service?

We want you to be happy! Simple as that :) If there was something that was not completed on our standardized checklists, please let us know right away! We offer a 24-48 hour window to contact the office in the event if you are not completely satisfied. We want to provide you with quality service and we value your feedback. We ask that you show grace to our workers (we are not ALWAYS perfect but we try our best!!) and kindly contact us to address any needs that were not met. We will happily offer a solution for you! For routine services- we appreciate feedback and would love to hear if there is ever something we need to work on. Open communication between the office, the client and our cleaners is key in maintaining an excellent client satisfaction level.   

What if I need to cancel/skip my cleaning?

Last-minute cancellations make it difficult to fill your appointment and can leave our cleaning technicians without work or income for that time. Giving us advance notice allows us to adjust our schedule and offer your appointment to another client who may be waiting. We ask to give us a 24-48 hour notice of any schedule changes. 

Canceling over the weekend or a holiday will still be subject to the last minute cancellation fee for we are not in the office and or have adequate notice to fill the spot for our staff. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment for ANY reason contact us at our business number, 330-397-2815, at any time. Please do not cancel late minute via email or from our automatic reminder text line. We do not get reply's on that line. 

 

Failure to provide a 24 business hour notice could result in a $55 late cancellation fee per cleaner for routine cleanings and up to 50% of the fee for one-time/deep cleaning/event/move in-out cleanings/organizational services. We understand that circumstances arise that require a cancellation, but if a client has excessive cancellations/reschedules, we reserve the right to cancel all future cleanings.

 

If you need to skip a cleaning for any reason (going out of town/vacation, family coming in, financial reasons, ect) a skip fee may be charged at your next visit. Skip fees are as follows: Monthly Clients $35, Biweekly $15, Weekly $10. These fees are to make up for extra time if needed by cleaning staff to catch up with the home. 

Do you have an unsafe working environment policy?

Absolutely! If we enter a home that has undisclosed information regarding unsafe working conditions we have the right to refuse service as well as charge a fee of 1/2 the service price. Our employees safety is extremely important to us! We do not specialize in bio-hazard cleaning or water damage/remediation services. If you have scheduled an appointment that you think may fall under this policy, please contact the office right away at 330-397-2815. We want to help direct you to an experienced company specifically trained in these areas that can help! 

Unsafe working conditions include but are not limited to:

  • Pet Waste (extensive) We know occasional accidents happen! 

  • Pest/Rodent waste

  • Insect infestation (roaches, bedbugs, fleas, ect)

  • Heavily soiled bathrooms (human waste/biohazard cleaning)

  • Human or Pet waste on walls/inside closets/ect.

  • Extreme hoarding situations

  • Needles 

  • Unsecured firearms

  • Drugs

  • Extensive amounts of broken glass

  • Non-friendly pets

  • No heat/electricity/running hot water

  • Derogatory conversations/unkind language towards our staff (bullying, swearing, sexual comments or actions, ect)

Do you have a rewards program?

We sure do! Word of mouth helps our small business grow, and we love rewarding clients who recommend us to their family, friends, and neighbors.

You’ll receive:

  • $100 cleaning credit when you refer a new recurring client

  • $25 cleaning credit when you refer a new one-time client

Your credits can be used toward future cleanings, add-on services, or saved for a deep clean. Just make sure the new client tells our office who referred them. Your credit will be added after their first completed cleaning.
