What is our cancellation policy?

Cancellation Policy – Lia’s Cleaning Service, LLC.

We understand that sometimes you may need to cancel your scheduled cleaning service. To ensure that we can continue to provide top-notch service to all our clients, we have implemented the following cancellation policy:

– We require a 24-hour notice of cancellation before the scheduled time.

– Please note that once you have booked an appointment, we reserve the time exclusively for you. If you cancel your appointment less than 24 hours before the scheduled time, you will be subject to a $50.00 Cancellation fee.

If you cancel your reservation 1 or 2 hours before the booking time, a cancellation fee of 30% of the total amount of your reservation will apply. Our team starts preparing for each house the day before, organizing all necessary equipment and supplies and planning the cleaning process. Depending on how far away your house is, the team may be on their way at the time of the cancellation.

– If the booking was made by mistake (for you or the system), the cancellation fee will not be applicable. Please consider that every case is unique, and the final decision about the fee will be based on the reservation date, booking details, and communication with the team.

– You can cancel your booking by accessing the customer portal, directly from the reminder email or by contacting us.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with our cancellation policy. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Can I manage my account for cancellations, rescheduling, cleaning calendar, etc.?

What do you do in a post-construction cleaning?

For more information on what post-construction cleaning consists of, call (717) 825-3373 or email us at support@liascleaningservice.net.

How many cleaners will come?

It depends on the size of the cleaning. We can send crews of between 1 and 6 cleaners to your cleaning.

Do I need to be home the day of the cleaning?

Some clients prefer scheduling cleaning appointments while they are at work or away for the day, while others like to be at home during the process. This is up to you.

If you won’t be there, your cleaners need a way to get in, and they promise they will treat your home like their own. They can lock up and/or leave the key wherever you like.

How long is the cleaning going to take?

Regular cleanings usually take an average of 1-3 hours (Depending on the size of the house)
Deep Cleanings usually take an average of 2-4 hours (Depending on the size of the house)
Move-in/Out Cleanings usually take an average of 2-6 hours (Depending on the size of the house).

Will I have the same cleaning technician for each visit?

We try to ensure you have your regular cleaning technician each visit, but this is not a guarantee. Due to illness, vacations, promotions, etc., we may occasionally need to replace your cleaning technician.

Do I need to pick up before the cleaner arrives?

The better your house is picked up, the better job we can do cleaning for you. If there are dishes, laundry, projects, etc. – no problem, we will skip these areas until the next visit. Often, putting clutter in a container before our visit is helpful. Getting things up off the floor by placing them on beds or the couch helps, too. If you can’t get things organized before we come, no problem; know we will clean what we can get to.

Cleaning products and equipment:

Do you provide the cleaning equipment and products?

Yes, we do provide all the necessary equipment and products.

Our staff arrive at each place ready with all they need for each location and requirements.

Note: If you need our staff to use a particular cleaning product, you will need to provide it.

Do you offer eco-friendly products?

Yes, we do.

When you schedule the booking, please let us know about your request so our team can prepare the right products.

Payment, privacy and safety:

What happens if I don’t pay?

If you fail to make a payment, you may incur late fees or interest charges. Additionally, non-payment may result in suspension of services or further collection actions. It’s important to communicate with us if you are facing difficulty in making payments so that we can explore potential solutions together.

When will my card be charged for the cleaning service?

Your card on file will be charged either after the cleaning has been completed or the next day. We do not accept cash or checks as forms of payment.

What will happen if I don’t add my payment information before the scheduled cleaning date?

If payment information is not added before the scheduled cleaning date, your cleaning appointment will be canceled. We require payment information in advance to secure and confirm all cleaning appointments. Please ensure that your payment details are up to date to avoid any inconvenience.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept payment via debit or credit cards. At this time, we do not accept cash or checks as forms of payment. Our payment processing system securely handles all major debit and credit cards to ensure convenient and reliable transactions for our customers.

Why must I add my credit/debit card to book an appointment?

We would need your card information to validate our service with you. It assures us of your commitment by booking an appointment with us.

Why do you pre-authorize the payment before the cleaning booking?

Just so you know, we will never charge you before the cleaning service. 

The payment pre-authorization is only used to confirm your payment information is valid. We use a payment processor system that allows us to ensure everything will be correct at the time of the transaction; that is why you can see it reflected in your bank account even without the payment being processed; this way, the whole payment process can be carried out smoothly for both parties the day of the transaction.

Payment will be completed after the service, but the pre-authorization will be effective as soon as you add your payment information (card or bank account) as a result of the normal process of our payment system.

Do you have a guarantee?

We have built our business on reputation by providing clients with the best possible service available anywhere. Still, we realize that things will sometimes get missed because we are human. Should this happen, please phone our office or email us within 24 hours, and we will make a note to rectify this on our next visit at no charge to you.

What are your COVID-19 measures?

Our Home Specialist’s take the following precautions & measures to fight against the spread of germs and viruses. Our Home Specialist’s are taking steps to do their part in keeping everyone healthy. This includes:

Washing hands regularly
Disinfecting equipment between each job.
Staying home when they are not feeling well.
Wearing masks from start to finish
Practice physical distancing in your home, as appropriate.

If you would like any additional measures taken contact us directly.

Is my billing information kept safe and secure?

We have three levels of security in place. First off, the booking page is protected by extended validation ssl. Secondly, the booking form has a layer of 256-bit security. Third, credit card transactions are processed by Stripe and are layered on their own 256 security protocol. In addition, no credit card numbers are stored in our system (only a token that allows us to charge the card). Rest assured, we take security very, very seriously.
