2. Cleaning Supplies / Equipment:

It is required that your home has running water and working electric outlets.  We reserve the right to charge our standard cancellation fee if we are not provided with running water or electricity.  Our technicians are not allowed to climb past the second step of a step stool.  If you would like us to use specialty products (e.g., simply green, bleach, stainless steel cleaner, sponge mop), please leave it out and include this request in your special account instructions.

Our work is done to demanding specifications and we will provide a 24-hour guarantee. This guarantee covers any work under Maintenance Housekeeping for ongoing service OR under Full-Service Housekeeping on an initial or move-out service. This only applies to whole home cleanings and not hourly services. It is your responsibility to notify the company of any problem within this time period (24 hours); a phone call, email, or satisfaction survey response will be sufficient.

If it has been more than 24 hours we will leave it to our discretion if we return for a reclean.

We will come back to your house for an inspection and correct the problem as soon as our schedule allows. A discount/refund will only be given after the re-clean if you are still completely unsatisfied and if we determine that the refund is justifiable. We will make every effort to be reasonable, but your house will not be re-cleaned or money refunded if there is evidence of family members, guests, contractors, or pets dirtied newly cleaned areas such as: washed floors, mirrors, etc.

4. Confirmation:

Booking a service online doesn’t guarantee you a spot for that date/time. Your booking is not confirmed until you have completed a confirmation phone call and received a confirmation email.

5. Price & Time Adjustments:

If the pricing calculator underestimates the price of your cleaning and the condition of your home is worse than predicted we do have permission to either adjust the price or refuse the service. You will be notified by our technicians or by our management if they do not have time to complete the cleaning in the time allotted via our confirmation phone call. You will have the option to either have them prioritize the areas you would like or to extend the cleaning at our hourly rate.

We have been trained in the proper and safe handling of items in homes. Unfortunately, accidents still occur occasionally. If this happens, you will be notified by our technician, or left a note, and given a phone call.  Reimbursement will be made up to $250 with a copy of your replacement receipt or a quote on replacement for a similar item. Items which cannot be replaced due to sentimental or antique value should be reported to Geaux Maids LLC BEFORE service begins. We reserve the right not to touch an item. Reimbursement for items over $250 may be handled by our insurance company.  All damage must be reported within 24 hours.  We will contact you after notification.  If we do not hear from you within the next 30 days we will assume you do not want to have us resolve the issue and the situation will void.

7. Theft

The best protection is precaution. Please DO NOT leave out any money or valuables which could be lost or taken. When we find valuables left out we will clean around them.

Geaux Maids LLC invests heavily in procurement to find quality cleaners. Hiring OUR current, Ex-worker(s) and/or accepting side propositions makes you liable for an employment referral fee of $1000.00 if you directly employ (legally or cash basis) anyone currently or formerly employed by us within the 2 year period prior to such employment.
