Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about booking, pricing, and what to expect from Kathy’s Cleaning.

Booking & Scheduling

How do I book a cleaning?

You can book online through our website or give us a call. We’ll find a time that works for your schedule – no pressure, no hassle.

How far in advance should I schedule?

We recommend booking at least 72 hours in advance. That said, we’ll always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests when availability allows.

Do you offer recurring cleaning appointments?

Yes! We offer weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly recurring cleanings. Recurring clients receive priority scheduling and consistent rates – because a great cleaning relationship gets better over time.

What if I need to reschedule?

No problem at all – life happens. Just give us at least 24 hours notice and we’ll find a new time that works for you.

What’s Included

What does a standard cleaning include?

Our standard cleaning covers dusting, vacuuming, mopping, kitchen and bathroom cleaning, wiping surfaces, and tidying common areas – the essentials done with care and attention to detail.

What is a deep clean?

A deep clean goes well beyond our standard service. We clean inside appliances, scrub grout, detail baseboards, clean light fixtures, and tackle areas that don’t get regular attention. It’s a thorough, top-to-bottom refresh for your home.

What’s not included?

We don’t clean biohazard materials, pet waste, or areas with severe hoarding conditions. Exterior window cleaning and moving heavy furniture are also outside our standard scope. If you have a specific need, just ask – we’re happy to discuss what we can accommodate.

Pricing & Payment

How is pricing determined?

Pricing is based on the size of your home, the type of cleaning requested, and the frequency of service. We always provide a free estimate before any work begins – no surprises.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept cash, check, and CashApp. Payment is due at the time of service.

Should I tip my cleaner?

Tips are never expected, but always appreciated. If your cleaner did a great job, it’s a wonderful way to say thank you.

Preparing for Your Cleaning

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

Nope! Many of our clients provide a key or door code and go about their day. We just ask that the home is accessible and that pets are secured before we arrive.

Should I tidy up before the cleaner arrives?

We’re there to clean, not organize – so no need to stress. That said, picking up loose items and clutter ahead of time helps us focus on the deep, detail-focused cleaning that makes the biggest difference.

Supplies & Equipment

Do you bring your own supplies?

Yes – we arrive fully equipped with all necessary cleaning supplies and equipment. If you have a preferred product you’d like us to use, just let us know and we’ll be happy to accommodate.

Do you offer eco-friendly cleaning options?

Absolutely. We offer green cleaning options using non-toxic, environmentally friendly products – safe for your family, your pets, and your home. Simply request it when booking.

Trust & Safety

Are your cleaners background checked?

Yes. Every cleaner is thoroughly vetted, background checked, and fully trained before entering any home. Your trust and comfort are foundational to everything we do.

Are you insured?

Yes – Kathy’s Cleaning is fully insured and bonded. In the unlikely event that something is damaged during a cleaning, we will make it right.

What if something gets damaged?

Please notify us within 24 hours of your cleaning. We take these situations seriously and will work with you promptly and fairly to resolve it.

Pets

Are you pet-friendly?

We love animals! We just ask that pets are secured or confined to a specific area during the cleaning, for everyone’s safety and comfort.

Will my pet be let outside?

No – we will never open exterior doors to let pets out. Please make arrangements for your pets before we arrive so everyone stays safe.

Cancellations

What is your cancellation policy?

We ask for at least 24 hours notice for cancellations. Late cancellations or no-shows may be subject to a cancellation fee. We understand things come up – just reach out as soon as you can.

Satisfaction Guarantee

What if I’m not happy with the cleaning?

Your satisfaction is our top priority. If something was missed or didn’t meet your expectations, contact us within 24 hours and we’ll come back to make it right – at no additional charge.

How do I leave feedback?

You can call, text, or email us directly. We genuinely value hearing from our clients and use every piece of feedback to keep improving the personalized service we’re proud to offer.
