Our online booking system provides a rough estimate of the cost of your service. The final price may vary based on the actual time spent on-site.
For residential services, invoicing is based on the total time spent on-site. If two or more cleaners are assigned, the invoice reflects the combined time worked by all cleaners. If the job exceeds the estimated booking time, you will be charged at your specific service rate (per cleaner) for each additional hour. Our rates are calculated per cleaner, meaning if two cleaners are on-site, the rate will be doubled, and it will increase proportionally for more cleaners.
We typically send a team of two cleaners. For larger homes, we send three or more cleaners as needed.
