Housekeeping Services
Our cleaning services are designed for people looking for recurring housekeeping services for their home or turnover cleaning for their vacation rental properties. Your dedicated housekeeper will focus primarily on cleaning the most commonly used areas of the home during each visit and then deep cleaning tasks one by one over time. Do you offer one-time cleanings?
They are communicative, always on-time, friendly, very thorough, reasonably-priced and trustworthy.

Is It Safe To Have A Cleaner In My House Right Now?
COVID-19 has caused us all to take a step back and evaluate our daily routines, including whom we let into our homes. We understand how you're feeling and want you to know what precautions we're taking to keep everyone safe so that you can still get the extra help you need.
What We Don't Clean
Some messes are better left to specialists. They will have specific equipment and training to safely and properly care for certain areas of your home. Below is a list of services that Spring Into Clean does not provide.
-
Grout
-
Chimneys
-
Mold remediation
-
Fire or water damage
-
Blood, urine, feces or other biohazardous conditions
-
Exterior windows
-
Litter boxes

Walls - minor spills and splatters here and there are ok
Do You Offer Deep Cleaning Services?
Most people treat deep cleaning like it's something that only needs to be done once or twice a year. But that means you're allowing dust, moisture, oils, and dirt to build-up on a surface for six months or more. That causes damage and invites infestations into your home. It's much healthier to perform deep cleaning a little bit at a time as it's needed all year long.
Your housekeeper will keep an eye on things like the baseboards, under the sofa and beds, and other areas of the home that may need more detailed cleaning. The goal is to tackle these areas as needed a little bit at a time. By staggering when we clean, it allows us to maintain the overall cleanliness of your home better. And this is included in your flat-rate price!
There are some more time-consuming cleaning tasks that do have an additional charge: inside the fridge, or oven for example. Those can be added to your cleaning at any time by logging in to your account and scheduling them from the Add-ons section. Alternatively, you can tell your housekeeper, text, or email us and we can add it for you.
Simple. FLat-rate Pricing
Price certainty makes it easy to plan around. That's why all our pricing is a flat-rate based on the size of your home and any add-ons you may need. Our pricing is based on the average amount of time it takes us to clean 95% of our client's homes. We've gotten pretty good about estimating the time it takes to clean homes of various sizes, and you'll notice that our booking form is broken down into micro areas of the home - bedroom, living room, dining room, etc - versus the standard bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage other services ask for. This mix and match approach to booking means the price is more accurate and much more customized to the layout of your home or office.
The only time we ever need to charge more is if we run into a home that is really messy or cluttered. But we'll let you know if that's the case and what the additional charge would be before we start cleaning. This happens less than 5% of the time.
24/7 Online Account Management
Schedule, reschedule, update your services or even add a tip from our online Client Portal. No need to send multiple emails back and forth. It's all online for you to manage whenever it's most convenient for you.

Our Mission
Cleaning is hard work and those who do it well deserve to earn a livable wage. This is especially important after the COVID-19 pandemic put so many individuals out of business. We want to do our part to support this community and help them find security and dignity in their trade. We strive to hire those with the right attitude and train them to clean the right way.
Our clients appreciate that we understand how deeply personal it is to allow someone into their home. It's where you come to relax, where your prized possessions are kept, and your favorite people gather. We invest a lot into our screening and training process so that you can relax and actually enjoy the benefits of a clean home:
-
more time for the things that matter
-
more energy for the people who matter
-
better mental health and clarity from an open space
It's this combination of humanity, quality, and support that adds up to a wonderful clean by fantastic people. We look forward to cleaning for you!
FAQs
Do I need to be home?
No. In fact we recommend that you are not home during your cleaning. This is to reduce the chance of spreading illnesses. Please reschedule your booking if any of the following are true:
-
You are showing symptoms, even mild ones, of any contagious illness not just COVID-19
-
You have been ill within the last 2 weeks
-
You have come in contact with someone who was ill within the last 2 weeks
-
You have been traveling within that last 2 weeks
-
You used public transportation within the last 2 weeks (bus, train, plane, etc)
-
You have been to an event with more than 10 people in the last 2 weeks
If you must be home, we ask that you stay in a separate room that has a door that can be closed in order to place as much distance between yourself and the cleaner as possible.
Do you offer laundry services?
Due to health concerns associated with COVID-19 we are discontinuing laundry services for the time being.
What's the cancellation policy?
Canceling or rescheduling a cleaning can be done at no charge as long as you let us know 48 hours before an appointment. Canceling or rescheduling with less than 48 hours notice is subject to a late cancellation fee of 50% of the estimated total.

Satisfaction Guarantee
Mistakes happen - it's human nature. But we never want you to feel like it's a fight to get issues resolved. If you are not completely satisfied with any part of your service we will return to your home to re-clean the area/task. We do not offer refunds, only recleans.
Spring Into Clean has a 24 HOUR WARRANTY PERIOD from the day of completion of the cleaning. If there are any issues, please email or text us as soon as possible. Complaints filed more than 24 hours after services are completed fall outside the warranty period, and unfortunately may not be covered. Spring Into Clean will not be held responsible for repair or replacement of items broken or damaged due to pre-existing wear and tear, incorrect installation, assembly, or usage.
Can I provide my own cleaning supplies?
Yes simply select this option when you book. However, please understand that we cannot be held liable for any damage caused by the cleaning tools or supplies you provide. We also do not make any claims as to the efficacy of the supplies you provide. You understand that we may not be able to clean as much or as effectively with your supplies, but we will do the best we can in the time booked.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. You may cancel at any time. We believe in earning your trust each and every time we clean for you. We ask that you let us know and give us a chance to make it right if you're ever unhappy with our services. But you're under no obligation to continue using our services for any specific amount of time.
