Terms of Service

 

In order to create clear communication and a guideline for our clients and employees to understand and follow the following terms and conditions apply to our company, clients, and all spaces we service.

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. This is at the discretion of our office and reflected in our estimates. Any changes to the scope of work, amount of labor required to complete your services, whether at request or requirement to manage the workload, will incur additional fees and be reassessed on a case-by-case basis.

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, uncomfortable behavior 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
If you wish to tip our staff for services performed you may do so by: paying them cash or contacting our office to leave a tip on your card on file. All tips are given to the associate who cleaned your property during the scheduled appointment. Tipping is not necessary, however is greatly appreciated.

 

Payment for Services:

In order to initiate services with Sparkle Haus, regardless of preferred payment method, a card on file is required to proceed with booking. There are no exceptions to this policy.
Payment for cleaning services is due in full at time of service. Sparkle Haus Gladly accepts payment in the following forms:

• Personal Check (Please make checks payable to: Sparkle Haus and remit payment on kitchen counter)

• If for any reason, the sparklers are unable to complete any work assigned, we will charge accounts hourly, at $50 per hour per cleaner.

If we arrive to clean and there is not a check present we will bill the card on file. If you are not available or do not wish to use a credit card, we will have to reschedule your appointment. Cancellation fees will apply.

 

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.

Sparkle Haus is an equal opportunity employer who seeks to provide regular, sustainable, and financially stable jobs for our employees. For this reason, all clients are subject to price increases, yearly or otherwise. At no time is a bid offered considered final or “long term pricing.”
