Before the appointment, share any priorities, access instructions, sensitivities, and accommodations you might need. Let me know about any pets you have and whether they will be secured or not (if not, I'll need to meet them with you present). I will get information from you on how to access the premises (via a lockbox/keypad/hideakey if you aren't present, info about that only relayed by phone- I don't hold on to keys as a practice)You guide what gets done and how it is done. While it is often established that you need to remove as much clutter as possible, that matters most during routine/regular cleans so I can get in and out in the time allotted. The most important thing is that you don't need to feel stressed out about what your space looks like - all I need is a heads up if you have a lot of extra stuff that will need to be moved first, to ensure I program enough time and the type of clean for you.If the home needs more time or work than booked, the scope and any additional charge will be discussed. Biohazards, toxins, exterior work, and grout cleaning are not included.

A move-in/move-out clean is a detailed, top-to-bottom cleaning for unoccupied spaces, designed to leave a home move-in ready or ready for vacancy. It covers kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and common areas. Kitchen service includes all surfaces, the oven, refrigerator, washing machine, cabinets, and drawers. Bathrooms include sinks, toilets, showers, tubs, mirrors, cabinet interiors, and drawer interiors. Bedrooms and common areas include furniture, baseboards, reachable ceiling fans, light fixtures, doors, and trim. Inside windows, glass doors, reachable blinds, and frames are cleaned. Floors are vacuumed, swept, and mopped, and cleaning supplies and equipment are provided. Refrigerators, ovens, cabinets, and drawers must be empty to be cleaned. Heavy cleaning, smoke residue, or excessive buildup may require additional time and cost. If the estimated time is exceeded, approval will be requested to continue at $65 per hour.
A regular clean helps maintain a home after a deep clean, and is not meant to address heavy grime or buildup. It includes bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, and common areas, with surface cleaning, disinfecting, vacuuming, mopping, and general upkeep. Kitchen service includes countertops, sink, appliance exteriors, and cabinet exteriors. Bathrooms include the sink, toilet, shower, tub, and mirrors. Living areas include furniture, baseboards, and light fixtures. Floors are vacuumed, swept, and mopped as appropriate. Cleaning supplies and equipment are provided.

Weekly, biweekly, monthly, scheduling is available, with preferred rates and discounts for recurring clients. A small deposit secures the appointment, and full payment is not processed until after service. I will contact you before confirming the booking.

By confirming your online booking with Afterglow Cleaning Company, you acknowledge and agree to these terms and policies:
Scope of service and right of refusal: If clutter or excess items prevent safe cleaning, the area may be cleaned around or skipped. If the property requires a more intensive clean than booked, has more bedrooms or bathrooms than listed, or involves extreme conditions, Afterglow Cleaning Company may adjust the final price, reschedule for adequate time, or refuse service.
Safety and hazards: Biological hazards, pet waste, mold, and hazardous materials cannot be handled. Service may be refused if these are present.
Pre-existing damage and fragile items: Afterglow Cleaning Company is not responsible for pre-existing damage, improper installation, or normal wear and tear. Please put away or identify fragile, irreplaceable, or high-value items before the appointment.
Surface limitations: Removal of deep-set rust, heavy mildew, or permanent hard-water buildup is not guaranteed. Surfaces are assumed to be properly sealed and treated.
Home entry: Customers must provide clear entry instructions, such as lockbox, key, or gate codes. If the property cannot be accessed within 20 minutes of arrival, a lockout fee may apply.
Pets: Please secure anxious or aggressive pets. Service may be refused because of unannounced or unsafe pets.
24-hour complaint window: Cash refunds are not offered. If you are unsatisfied with an area cleaned, notify Afterglow Cleaning Company within 24 hours of completion, and the missed area will be re-cleaned at no additional charge.
The time varies depending on the size of your home and the scope of the job. I am a solo cleaner, and the estimates shown during booking are based on real service data. Larger homes and jobs take longer when one person is doing the work. The hours listed for a standard clean are intended to cover that service only; work beyond that scope may require a deep clean, move-in/move-out clean, or personalized clean. If your home or project is large enough, the cleaning may need to be split over two days. If time is critical and you have three or more bedrooms, I may not be the best fit for your needs.
