Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any further questions or need additional information, please feel free to reach out to our customer service team. We are here to assist you!
-
Which service do you recommend for first time clients?A deep clean is recommended for all first-time cleanings. It allows us extra time to get all the areas that have been missed during regular cleanings in the past. After the initial deep clean, most customers switch to a standard clean for recurring services.
-
Who is responsible for providing cleaning supplies?The Cleaning Specialists who come to clean your property are provided with all the equipment and materials they require by Tidy R Us. These include vacuum cleaners, cleaning solutions, and cleaning cloths that have just been laundered. Most of the cleaning supplies that we use are safe for humans and the environment. If a property owner has animals that reside inside the property, we suggest the property owner provide their own vacuum cleaner due to other homeowners may have allergies. We don't want to share animal hair with the next property. If you wish to use your own cleaning supplies instead of those provided by Tidy R Us, please give the office a call at least one working day before your scheduled cleaning. Products that are supplied by the customer ought to be non-toxic, biodegradable, and suitable for use on any surface.

-
How long will it take to clean my property?The amount of time necessary for a cleaning range from as little as one hour to as much as eight hours, depending on the size and condition of your property as well as the service that you ordered. Our Cleaning Specialists are experts in their field and have received training to maximize their productivity.
-
Do I need to do anything to prepare for my cleaning?We want to make this process as simple and straightforward for you as we possibly can, but a little bit of assistance from you will go a long way toward achieving the ideal level of cleanliness. To ensure that our cleaning professionals can access all the surfaces in your house without incident, we ask that you kindly clear away any unnecessary clutter, relocate any delicate things to a secure location, and empty the sinks before we come. Also, please make sure that we will be able to access your property at the appointed day and time, as well as secure any animals that may be there.

-
Do I need to be present when Cleaning Specialists arrive or depart?No, you do not have to be present. If you are not going to be present during the cleaning, please make sure to provide property access (key and security alarm access code) in advance.

What should I do with my pets when the cleaners arrive?Before or when the cleaner arrives at your home, please put your pets in the guest room or a lesser-used room in your home that can go without cleaning every time.

Just be sure there is access to food and water, so your pets are comfortable.
