Terms of use
1.Standard Cancellation Fee
Alpine Maids LLC will assess a $50 cancellation fee if a repeat clean is cancelled any time within 48 hours of your appointment. For one time cleans, a $100 cancellation fee will be applied for cleans cancelled within 48 hours of your appointment. Please be sure to provide entry instructions if you will not be home. We reserve the right to charge our standard cancellation fee for all lock-outs.
2. Cleaning Supplies / Equipment
Alpine Maids LLC provides products and nearly all equipment required for cleaning your home. It is required that your home has running water and working electric outlets. We reserve the right to charge our standard cancellation fee if we are not provided with running water or electricity. Our technicians are not allowed to climb past the second step of a step stool. If you would like us to use specialty products (e.g., simply green, stainless steel cleaner, sponge mop), please leave it out and include this request in your special account instructions. We are not responsible for ANY damage caused by cleaning products provided by the customer. We will not use bleach in your home under any circumstances.
3. Cleaning Guarantee
Our work is done to demanding specifications and we will provide a 24-hour guarantee. This guarantee covers any work under Maintenance Housekeeping for ongoing service OR under Full-Service Housekeeping on an initial or move out service. This only applies to whole home cleanings and not hourly services. It is your responsibility to notify the company of any problem within this time period; a phone call, email, or satisfaction survey response will be sufficient. We will come back to your house for an inspection and correct the problem as soon as our schedule allows. We will make every effort to be reasonable, but your house will not be re-cleaned if there is evidence family members, contractors, or pets dirtied newly washed floors, mirrors, etc.
4. Confirmation
Booking a service online doesn’t guarantee you a spot for that date/time. Your booking is not confirmed until you have completed a confirmation phone call and received a confirmation email.
5. Price & Time Adjustments
If the pricing calculator underestimates the price of your cleaning and the condition of your home is worse than predicted we do have permission to either adjust the price or refuse the service. You will be notified by our technicians or by our management if they do not have time to complete the cleaning in the time allotted via our confirmation phone call. You will have the option to either have them prioritize the areas you would like or to extend the cleaning at our hourly rate.
6. Breakage
We have been trained in the proper and safe handling of items in homes. Unfortunately, accidents still occur occasionally. If this happens, you will be notified by our technician, or left a note, and given a phone call. Reimbursement will be made up to $250 with a copy of your replacement receipt or a quote on replacement for a similar item. Items which cannot be replaced due to sentimental or antique value should be reported to Alpine Maids LLC BEFORE service begins. We reserve the right not to touch an item. Reimbursement for items over $250 may be handled by our insurance company. All damage must be reported within 24 hours. We will contact you after notification. If we do not hear from you within the next 30 days we will assume you do not want to have us resolve the issue and the situation will void.
7. Theft
The best protection is precaution. Please DO NOT leave out any money or valuables which could be lost or taken. When we find valuables left out we will clean around them. You are protected from theft by a Janitorial Bond. If a theft is suspected, our bond requires that you file a police report with your local authorities before contacting Alpine Maids LLC.
8. Direct Hiring of Our Cleaning Technicians
Alpine Maids LLC invests heavily in procurement to find quality cleaners. Hiring OUR current, Ex-worker(s) and/or accepting side propositions makes you liable for an employment referral fee of $500.00 if you directly employ (legally or cash basis) anyone currently or formerly employed by us within the 2 year period prior to such employment. By using our service, you agree to notify us of any attempts to solicit or accept illegal business, otherwise; Attorney, Legal and miscellaneous expenses incurred to investigate and/or collect this fee will be added if this employment is discovered. Exchanging contact info is considered part of this breach.
Unless complying with all laws; direct, unreported or inappropriate employment practices are illegal. You acknowledge being informed that Alpine Maids LLC is obligated to report illegal hiring activities. In fact, anyone may report this to the proper Government and Judicial authorities so investigation ensues. Implication, complicity or withholding knowledge of illegal activity is not only prosecutable by Alpine Maids LLC (when applicable), but also by United States Federal and Local Laws.
9. Employee safety
Alpine Maids LLC reserves the right to remove its cleaners from your home should the environment become unsafe, our cancellation policy will apply.
10. Pets
We will gladly work around pets. If your pet becomes anxious or presents a safety concern, Alpine Maids LLC reserves the right to remove its cleaners from your home. If a cleaner leaves your home prior to completion, Alpine Maids LLC will charge you a pro-rated expense based on work performed. If removal of our cleaning technician is due to aggressive pets, our cancellation policy will apply.
11. Right to Refuse Service
Cleaning Technicians have the choice to leave upon arrival if the home is in extreme condition or feel unsafe/threatened.

12. Clutter
We require all non-decorative items to be picked up off of the floor and furniture that is not normally used to store items. Our rule of thumb is that the cleaners have 60 seconds to organize in each room or they are to pile any clutter in one are and clean around it.
13. Dishes
Some cleaning companies will not touch dishes. Alpine Maids policy is to not clean dishes. However if requested we can include this service.

14. Large and Heavy items
For safety and liability reasons, Alpine Maids LLC will not allow its Cleaning Professionals to lift or move heavy items or furniture.
