Q: Can I skip or reschedule bookings?

Happy Home Helpers doesn't take any percentage. Its a great way to show your appreciation for your cleaner and a job well done.

Q: Are you Insured?

A: Yes, we are! While every effort is made to use great care in your home, sometimes accidents do happen. Our house cleaners are trained to immediately notify our office(and you) if something is broken or damaged so that we can handle the situation as soon as possible. If we should break or damage something, we will make every effort to have the item repaired or if necessary it will be replaced. If you need proof of insurance, simply email us at info@happyhomehelpers.net and we'll gladly forward you all relevant documentation.

Q: Do you send teams of people in to clean my house?

A: No, under normal circumstances we will send one house cleaner to clean your home. If it is an unusually large job, we may send more that one house cleaner.

Q: Do you send the same person every time my home is cleaned?

A: We try to, but that doesn't always work out. All of the house cleaners provide the same consistent service to very customer, so you should feel like you are receiving the same quality service no matter who the house cleaner is. However, if you would like o make a change, please so not hesitate to ask.

Q: Do we have to sign a contract?

A: No, there are no complicated contracts. The only thing we ask is, if you must cancel a regular scheduled appointment, that you do it at least 48 hours in advanced. Our house cleaners are paid for each home they clean- a cancellation without a notice to reschedule another appointment directly affects the house cleaners income or we must charge you a fee of $60 to compensate the house cleaners for their loss if time and driving expenses.

Q: What about my pets?

A: We love animals, but sometimes they don't love us. Pets may become overly anxious while we are there, therefore we kindly ask to please make temporary arrangements (such as garage, a kennel, or a closed off room) while we are in your home.

A: The choice is yours. We realize that most customers already have cleaning supplies and basic cleaning equipment (vacuum,broom,mop) in their home. If you would rather us provide them we are happy to do so.

Q: Do I have to do anything before my house cleaner arrives?

A: In order for the house cleaner to do their job, we ask that you pick up clothing, toys and other household items. The house cleaner will not know where your personal items belong and we prefer thru do not go into your closets or drawers to put thing away.

Q: What form of quality control do you provide?

A: Every time we clean your home the house cleaner is going to leave you our 75-Point Checklist. We would like for you to make sure that all of the items listed on the form have been done in each room that was cleaned. We encourage you to submit your Scoreboard online on our website.
