Inviting a cleaning company into your home requires trust. Our vetted, trained, and experienced cleaning professionals are committed to treating your home with the highest level of respect and care.
When you choose Elite Maid Service, you’re choosing a team that shows up prepared to deliver excellence on every visit.
Here are some common questions & answers:
How much does house cleaning cost?
We offer straightforward, upfront pricing for our professional house cleaning services. Your quote is based on home size, service type (standard, deep cleaning, or move-out cleaning), and the overall condition of the house. You’ll see the full price before confirming, so you will have no surprises or hidden fees.
How do I pay for my cleaning service?
Payment is due on the day of your scheduled house cleaning service, and we offer simple, secure payment options for your convenience. Many clients choose to leave a check in a designated location (such as the kitchen counter). We also accept secure credit card and ACH bank transfer payments.
If paying by check, please make it payable to Elite Maid Service. Credit card and ACH payments are processed automatically after your cleaning is completed. All accepted maid service payment options will be clearly confirmed during the booking process so you know exactly what to expect.
Are your house cleaners background checked and insured?
Yes. Every member of our professional cleaning team completes background screening and is fully insured and bonded. We prioritize safety, reliability, and professionalism in every home we service.
What if I’m not happy with my cleaning service?
We proudly stand behind our work and our commitment to delivering an Elite Clean — every time. If any part of your professional house cleaning service does not meet your expectations, simply notify us within 24 hours and our team will promptly make it right. Our mission is to provide a reliable, high-quality home cleaning experience you can count on with every visit.
What if something gets damaged during the cleaning?
Our professional house cleaning team handles your home with the utmost care and respect. In the unlikely event that accidental damage occurs during your cleaning service, please notify us within 24 hours so we can promptly review the situation. When we are responsible, we will make every reasonable effort to repair or replace the affected item. For additional peace of mind, our insured cleaning service coverage is in place and claims can be filed when appropriate.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No contracts are required. You can schedule one-time house cleaning or set up recurring service, and you’re free to adjust or pause at any time. We aim to earn your business through consistent results.
Can I try your service before setting up recurring cleanings?
Absolutely. Many clients begin with a one-time home cleaning or deep clean before moving to weekly, biweekly, or monthly service. We’re happy to help you find the schedule that fits your needs.
Can I book house cleaning online and choose my schedule?
We do not currently offer online booking. To schedule your professional house cleaning service, please call or email our office, and our team will be happy to assist you in setting up your home cleaning appointment at a time that works best for you.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
It’s completely up to you. Many clients provide secure entry instructions so they can come back to a freshly cleaned home. If you prefer to be present, that works perfectly too.
What types of house cleaning services do you offer?
We provide a full range of residential cleaning services, including:
Not sure what you need? We’re happy to recommend the best option for your home.
Do you bring your own cleaning supplies and equipment?
Yes. Our teams arrive with professional-grade supplies and equipment needed to clean your home thoroughly. If you have preferred products you’d like us to use, just let us know in advance.
Are your cleaning products safe for children and pets?
We use quality products appropriate for homes with kids and pets when used as directed. If anyone in your household has sensitivities or you prefer specific products, we’re happy to accommodate whenever possible.
Is it okay to have pets home during the cleaning?
We are proud to offer pet-friendly house cleaning services. For everyone’s safety, please secure your pets in a safe area while we clean. We also ask that any pet waste be picked up before your appointment so our professional house cleaners can focus on delivering a thorough clean.
If your pet is anxious or may act aggressively, keeping them in a gated area or another room is recommended. If you won’t be home during the cleaning, please provide instructions on how we should safely work around your pets.
How can I prepare my home for a cleaning?
For maximum efficiency, please minimize clutter before our team arrives. Pick up toys, clothing, and personal items so we can access all surfaces. Also, provide a comfortable space for pets during the cleaning. This ensures your belongings are safe and our team can clean more thoroughly.
What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
We know life can be unpredictable, and plans sometimes change. To help us provide the best home cleaning service, we kindly request at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to efficiently manage our cleaning schedule while accommodating your needs. If your appointment changes, we’ll work with you to find a new time that fits your routine and keeps you on your regular house cleaning schedule.
How do I reschedule my cleaning appointment?
Contact our office by phone or email, and our friendly team will help you quickly find the next available time that fits your schedule.
I have a home alarm system. How is entry handled?
Many clients provide a temporary access code or disarm the system during the scheduled window. We’ll coordinate the entry method that feels most secure and convenient for you.
What happens if my cleaning falls on a holiday?
If a scheduled cleaning lands on a holiday, our team will contact you in advance. We’ll also share information about extra cleaning services to prepare your home for the holiday, and work with you to find a convenient time.
Can I tip my house cleaners?
Tips are not required but always appreciated! If you’d like to leave a gratuity, you may do so in cash or add it to your payment after the service is completed.
