Service Agreement

Full Circle Home Cleaning LLC

Terms & Conditions

By using this website to book a cleaning service, you agree to be bound by these terms & conditions. If you do not agree to these terms & conditions, then it is best not to book a service with us. These terms of service are necessary to ensure that our cleaners are kept safe and earn a resonable income from their efforts, and to help keep costs down for all of our clients.

Booking Confirmation

Booking a service online doesn’t guarantee you a spot for that date/time - you will be contacted by email or phone with a confirmation after confirming cleaner availabiliy. A hold will be placed on your card in the amount of the estimated total shown in the booking summary once you click on "Save Booking". If booking by phone, the hold will be placed at the time your booking is entered into our system by the customer service agent handling your call.

Cleaning Day Preparation

Your price for cleaning is based on the cleaners focusing all of their time on cleaning. We ask that you take a few minutes to tidy up to allow the cleaners easy access to the areas/surfaces to be cleaned: floors, counter-tops, tabletops, etc. If you’d like our cleaners to do these tasks for you, call the office in advance so your cleaning fee can be adjusted for the additional time.

Payments

Full payment for the total amount of your cleaning service must be made on the day of cleaning by check, cash, or credit card.

Returned Check and Late Fees

A $35 fee will be charged for each returned check. Past due accounts will incur a $30 late fee if payment is not received within 10 days of service, and for each additional 10 day period thereafter.

Cleaning Crew

We typically work with teams of two cleaners. On occasion, more cleaners may be needed due to the complexity of work or busy schedule. Individual cleaners may be scheduled on as needed basis. We do our best to limit the rotation of cleaners in your home while still providing sufficient cross-training to our cleaning technicians.

Our cleaners have been rigorously background screened prior to working with us, you can rest assured all our staff has integrity and is held accountable.

Right to Refuse Service

We reserve the right to deny and/or terminate service because of safety concerns, inappropriate or uncomfortable situations, weapons on-premises, severe clutter & disconnected utilities.

Our cleaners have the choice to leave if the home is in an extremely unsanitary condition or they feel unsafe/threatened. If you book a cleaning that is unreasonable in this regard, our cleaners may refuse service on the spot & you will be charged the cancellation fee.

Add-On Services

With the exception of Move in/Move Out cleanings, these services are available for an extra charge: clean interior windows & sills, detail blinds, detail baseboards, clean inside kitchen cabinets, clean inside oven, clean inside fridge, sweep Inside garage.

Pets

We will gladly work around pets, and we ask that all indoor activity is reasonably limited for cleaning efficiency & safety reasons. If your pet becomes anxious or presents a safety concern, Full Circle Home Cleaning LLC reserves the right to remove its cleaners from your home.

Our cleaners are instructed not to enter a house if they believe an animal is a threat. Pets may behave differently if a family member is not present. If the removal of our cleaning technician is due to aggressive pets, our cancellation policy will apply.

Service Fees

Please remember we give these instant prices based on our experience and expertise, but we may adjust the price based on the actual condition of the house. To ensure there are no surprises when we arrive & find that the job will require extra time, we will call you to let you know. If we are unable to reach you, the crew will have to leave & you will be charged the cancellation fee.

We reserve the right to reevaluate rates at any time based on the time it takes to perform our service to meet the client’s standards. Full Circle Home Cleaning LLC will contact the client to discuss price or service revisions if the cleaning time differs drastically from the original bid.

Rescheduling & Cancellations

Service reliability is extremely important because once a booking is confirmed we reserve that time especially for you. We request that you give us a minimum of 24 Hrs. advance notice if you need to cancel or reschedule for any reason in order to avoid incurring a $50 cancellation fee.

Lockouts

The client shall make the service location accessible to Full Circle Home Cleaning LLC personnel on the scheduled service day. If our team is locked out of the client’s home, every effort will be made to establish contact with the client to arrange for entry into the home. If contact is not made within 20 minutes of the arrival of the cleaning team, the scheduled cleaning will be skipped & you will be charged the $100 lockout fee. This fee is necessary to compensate the cleaners for unexpected lost revenue & travel time.

Refund Policy

We do not offer refunds. However, we realize that we are human and that things will from time to time get missed. Should this happen please email or call us within 24 hours & we will rectify the error at no charge.

Recurring Service Discount

Recurring discounts start AFTER the first cleaning service. If you skip cleanings so that your cleaning’s frequency is lower than what you were set up for, your price will be increased to the pricing level for the lower frequency.

Rate Increases

Client’s cleaning rate adjustments may be made at any time during the year should there be changes to the frequency of the client’s established service schedule or home or living situation: remodel, change of address, number of people living in the home, a significant addition of furniture, etc. It is reasonable to expect that the standard price for your cleaning service will increase on approximately an annual basis. We belive in giving raises to our cleaners to keep up with inflation. When wages and the cost of living go up, so does the price of our cleaning services.

Alarm

If your home is equipped with a security system, please ensure that it is in the off position or call our office with the code & proper directions for use. If the code should change please let us know so you do not incur a lockout charge.

Use of Homeowner’s Vacuum

If you request to use your vacuum, we will not assume or accept any liability for damage to the unit. Since we are not responsible for the maintenance of the vacuum, we will not be responsible for any repairs to it. This is important because if the vacuum is not in working order when we arrive to clean your home, we will not be able to perform any vacuuming of carpet & hard floor surfaces.

Cleaning Supplies

We provide the equipment & products needed to thoroughly clean your home, if you require us to use green cleaning products only, please let us know before we start the service.

Unreachable Areas & Heavy items

For safety & liability reasons our cleaners can’t climb higher than a step stool or work outside of your home. Cleaners can’t move objects more than 35 pounds. If you would like cleaning behind heavy objects please move them prior to cleaning.

Breakage/Damage & Loss Policy

While an occurrence is rare, the possibility of breakage or damage is present while we clean. Our cleaners exercise reasonable care when cleaning your home, and we carry insurance for damage or breakage caused by our cleaners.

Cleaners Arrival Window

We schedule our cleanings in an order that requires the least amount of drive time in an effort to maintain low prices & avoid trip fees. If you require a specific time we will make every effort to accommodate your request, however, no times are guaranteed.
