Our company mantra of: “Detailed Cleaning, Flat Rate” is outline as: Our employees will clean all spaces free and accessible to us each time we visit your property. Flat rates are based upon several factors including: disclosed soil level and live in footprint by client, hours required to clean livable square footage, and an estimate of the time combined of those factors. Should those factors change or exceed our allotted window, additional charges may be incurred to complete service requests.

Sparkle Haus Employees/Sparklers

Any employee of Sparkle Haus is considered a direct employee of the business, and not the client. Unfortunately, due to illness, vacations, general turn over, or necessity for cleaners on other accounts we cannot at any time guarantee the same staff will consistently service your home. For the reasons above, clients will be assigned cleaners appropriately based on size of home, skill level of cleaner, and routing needs. All of our team members undergo extensive training, and are all equally capable of meeting the needs of our clients and scopes of work provided. Mutual respect is expected from customer to sparkler, and sparkler to customer. Yelling, screaming, cussing at, or otherwise confrontational, hostile, or combative behavior will not be tolerated. If our sparklers are met with these circumstances, we reserve the right to remove our staff from the situation without warning and bill for time spent on services. This behavior will also bar a client from receiving future services from our company.

​

Extra Services and Additions
If you require extra services or additional cleaning on your scheduled cleaning day, please contact us 48 hours in advance so we may allow the extra time needed at your home and we can give you a quote for the additional services.

​

Decluttering Fee Notice

Estimates provided to our clients are not inclusive of general pick up. We respectfully request that homeowners prepare by picking up or put away any clothes, children's toys, or loose trash and other miscellaneous items before we arrive. If we find that a home is not properly prepared for cleaning services, we may add an additional fee of $20 per room to collect and stack any clutter in order to perform our services. As we do not offer organizational services, this process will be limited to simply making floors and surfaces free and accessible. 

​

Pricing Terms and Agreement

Sparkle Haus bases our pricing per client, per condition, per frequency. All issued quotes are valid for a period of 30 days. Skipped cleans will incur an additional fee. If an appointment is rescheduled to a following week, a 10% increase will apply. If a clean is rescheduled by 2 weeks, a 20% increase will apply, and so on. Any services that extend beyond a 6 weeks rotation will require a deep clean before recurring pricing is continued.

​

Tipping

All tips are given to the associate who cleaned your property during the scheduled appointment. Tipping is not necessary, however is greatly appreciated.

Estimates

• You agree that the actual price payable is an estimate based upon a cleanable square foot average. If your home is deeply soiled and requires more time, the cleaners will service the home in order of importance up to the hours scheduled. If your home exceeds this estimate, you will be offered the opportunity to purchase additional time to complete the premises.

• Any price estimates are based on Sparkle Haus’s prior experience, with inspection, and based on information provided by the Customer.

• Sparkle Haus reserves the right to increase your pricing after cleanings have been performed for a period of time. If your space takes longer to clean than the estimated amount of time, Sparkle Haus will notify you of this increase via email.

 

Scope of Work

All properties are bid based on scope of work outlined by a client. Should the scope of work change in any manner beyond the original bid, Sparkle Haus will provide an up to date quote accurately outlining the new pricing terms. If we find that our original agreement does not properly reflect the amount of time needed to complete your premises, we will notify you in written format. The client will have 7 days to review the new bid and consent. If consent is not received in written format within 7 days, you will automatically be charged the new rate.

Disclaimer

All of our services are guaranteed to be carried out with the maximum amount of professionalism and quality. This online bid is designed to make your life easier, but is unfortunately unable to take every factor into consideration. We must however note that the numbers quoted are all based on the information provided on the previous screen (which we will hold on record) and that if there is a deviation from those numbers, we must charge accordingly. Our online bidding system is incapable of bidding anything that is above and beyond regular cleaning services. All bids produced by this system are subject to change, although we try not to whenever possible. Factors such as extra ladder work, heavy soiling, mineral deposits, or anything else that we are unable to factor into this sight-unseen bid which might affect the price will have to be taken into account, if need be, at the time of service-- but before the service commences.  We consider that when we are making these adjustments and only do so when it is absolutely necessary and with great consideration.
