Frequently Asked

Absolutely! Each of our team members completes an extensive training period before stepping foot in a client’s home. We have a lot invested in our teams and it shows in every clean. Training is ongoing as new products and methods emerge in the market. Each team includes a working team leader who supervises on site and completes a quality check throughout the service. A field manager may periodically visit your home while your team is cleaning. Field managers also perform quality checks to ensure you receive the best possible service.

We make every effort to have the same team clean your home each visit. Occasionally, there may be a change in a team member due to illness, vacations and staff changes. The Maids' team leader's job is to learn your home, be familiar with it and to train the other team members how to deliver the quality that you expect.

To achieve the cleanest, healthiest environment for your home, The Maids utilizes our 22-Step Cleaning Process to provide homes a deep clean. In addition to cleaning all the areas in your home you'd expect, during the first clean, The Maids will damp wipe your baseboards, windowsills and door ledges – removing the dust and grime buildup. The Maids will vacuum and disinfect all registers and vents, as well as edge all rooms with the vacuum. We will vacuum floor to ceiling in the corners of each room we clean and corner to corner along the tops of the walls to remove any cobwebs and dust. Team members will spend extra time in the kitchen and the bathrooms to clean away scale and soap buildup on the first visit. We clean the kitchen floor, bathroom floors and the entry foyer. We use proprietary products and HEPA-filtered vacuums to remove allergens out of the air and furniture, as well as cleaning on top of appliances.

We love pets and will be very careful around them. Please let us know in advance what kind of pets you have so we can take care to not startle them or accidentally let them outside. We also ask that you secure them as appropriate in case visitors make them nervous.

Modifying your schedule is easy. There’s no question that life can be unpredictable. But, you’ll never need to worry when something unexpected arises. If you have to change a cleaning date, just let us know as soon as possible. We do appreciate notification at least 24 hours in advance.

The cleaning service from The Maids is here to help. To allow us to be most efficient, it is helpful if you pick up toys, laundry, household items and clutter before the team arrives. This allows us to move through your home more quickly, which can lessen the cost. Please put away any important documents and valuables. No worries though, we’re ready to tackle messes, and will neatly pile and arrange any items left on floors or furniture.

It's your choice, but giving us ready access to your home on your day of service is important. Many of our customers prefer to give us a key. Others leave a key in a safe place or provide codes for the garage and/or alarm system. Should you choose to give us a key, it will be stored in a locked key storage device to which only our managers have access. The key is issued to the cleaning team leader on the day of your clean. The team leader returns the key at the end of the day and management returns it to the secured container.

Pricing is based on the service plan you select and the size of your home. It is best to contact your local The Maids office for an estimate.
