Terms of Service

By using this website to book a service, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, it is recommended that you do not book a service with us.

Booking Confirmation

Booking a service online does not guarantee you a spot for that date/time. You will be contacted by email or phone with a confirmation.

Cleaning Providers

Our providers have been thoroughly vetted before onboarding. You can rest assured all of our providers have integrity and are held accountable.

Right to Refuse Service

We reserve the right to deny or terminate service due to safety concerns, inappropriate or uncomfortable situations, weapons on-premises, severe clutter, and disconnected utilities (electricity, heat during cold weather, or water).

Our providers may leave if the home is extremely unsanitary or they feel unsafe or threatened. If you book a cleaning that is unreasonable, cleaners may refuse service on the spot, and you will be charged a cancellation fee.

Cleaning Day Preparation

Your cleaning price is based on the cleaners focusing their time on cleaning. Please take a few minutes to tidy up so cleaners can access areas/surfaces such as floors, countertops, and tabletops. If you’d like our cleaners to handle tidying tasks, contact us in advance so your cleaning fee can be adjusted.

Pets

We work around pets, but indoor activity should be limited for cleaning efficiency and safety. If a pet presents a safety concern or becomes anxious, Neat Home Cleaning Company reserves the right to remove providers from your home.

Providers will not enter homes if they believe an animal poses a threat. If service is disrupted due to aggressive pets, cancellation policies will apply.

Service Fees

Quotes are based on experience, but prices may adjust depending on the home’s actual condition. If the scope of work exceeds expectations, we will contact you for approval before proceeding. If we cannot reach you, the provider will leave, and a cancellation fee will apply.

Rates may be reevaluated at any time based on service scope or client standards. Clients will be contacted to discuss price or service revisions when necessary.

Payments

Payments are accepted via credit card or e-transfer. Credit cards are charged after appointments are completed, but a hold is placed 24 hours before the booking to ensure funds are available. E-transfers must be sent 24 hours before the booking, or the appointment will be canceled.

Refund Policy

We do not offer refunds. If something is missed, contact us within 24 hours to correct the issue at no additional charge.

Recurring Service Discount

Recurring discounts begin after the first cleaning. If you skip cleanings, reducing your frequency, your price will adjust to the lower-frequency rate.

Rate Increases

Rates may increase due to changes in service frequency, home conditions, or other factors, such as remodels, changes of address, additional residents, or added furniture. Rates may increase annually by no more than 10%.

Lockouts

Clients must ensure cleaners can access the home on the scheduled service day. If cleaners are locked out, they will wait up to 30 minutes for contact. After that, the appointment is canceled, and the full service fee applies.

To avoid lockouts, provide a key or access code in advance.

Cancellations

Cancellations or rescheduling require at least 24 hours’ notice to avoid a $50 fee. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice or instances where cleaners are denied access will result in the full value of the service being charged.

Alarm Systems

Ensure your home’s security system is off before the service, or provide us with the code and instructions. Inform us of any code changes to avoid lockout fees.

Use of Homeowner’s Vacuum

If clients request the use of their vacuum, we assume no liability for damage to the unit. Non-functioning vacuums will prevent vacuuming services.

Cleaning Supplies

We provide cleaning equipment and supplies. If you request only green products or your own supplies, inform us beforehand. We are not liable for damages related to client-provided products.

Items We Cannot Clean

  • Mold (requires specialty services).
  • Hoarding homes or areas with biohazards (e.g., blood, feces, vomit, cat litter boxes).

Unreachable Areas & Heavy Items

For safety and liability, cleaners cannot climb higher than a step stool or move objects heavier than 35 pounds.

Breakage/Damage & Loss Policy

While rare, breakage or damage may occur. Providers exercise reasonable care and carry insurance for damages caused by their actions.

We are not liable for:

  • Normal wear and tear.
  • Improperly installed items.
  • Undisclosed fragile items (e.g., artwork, collectibles, heirlooms).

Notify us within 24 hours of any breakage or loss. Identical replacement is attempted but not guaranteed.

Cleaners Arrival Window

We schedule cleanings to minimize drive times. While specific times cannot be guaranteed, we generally provide a 2-hour arrival window.

If delays occur, we will notify you via text or call.

Holidays

We do not offer services on statutory holidays. If your cleaning falls on a holiday, we will contact you to reschedule.

House Key/Key Release

If clients leave keys in unsecured locations, Neat Home Cleaning Company is not liable for damages or theft. Upon termination of services, we will return all keys within 48 hours or the next business day.

Non-Solicitation of Cleaners

Clients agree not to solicit Neat Home Cleaning Company providers for direct hire. Significant time and resources are invested in vetting and training providers.

Governing Law

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of Alberta.
