Common questions
Answers people look for
How is professional cleaning usually priced?
Pricing may be based on time, size, rooms, condition, frequency, service type and access. A clear quote should state what is included and any assumptions.
What should a cleaning company explain about insurance?
It should state the current policy type and limit accurately, without implying cover for risks or circumstances that the policy does not include.
Why do access and key handling matter?
Poor access planning causes delays and security risks. Providers should agree who holds keys, how access is logged and what happens if entry is unavailable.
