Questions, answered

Feel confident before your first clean.

Clear expectations make it easier to invite a new team into your home.

View all frequently asked questions
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

No. Many clients provide secure access and enjoy returning to a freshly cleaned home.

Do we need a deep clean before starting our recurring schedule?

Not always. If your home has been professionally maintained, you can often start with recurring service right away. If it's been several months — or there's noticeable buildup on baseboards, cabinet fronts, doors, or trim — we usually recommend beginning with a deep clean to bring things up to a maintenance standard. After that, regular visits keep it there.

Do you bring cleaning supplies?

Happy Maids arrives prepared with the products and equipment needed for the scheduled service.

What if something isn't cleaned correctly?

Contact the local office. The 100% Cleaning Guarantee means concerns are addressed and qualifying areas are re-cleaned.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. Happy Maids works at will, with no implied contract, and you can stop at any time. We ask for two full business days' notice so the cleaners held for your home can be given other work.

Are the products safe around children and pets?

Yes. Happy Maids uses green, kid- and pet-safe products on every visit by default, never as an upsell you have to request. Cloths are color-coded so kitchen and bathroom cloths never mix, and the vacuums are sealed-HEPA SEBOs, which hold the dust they lift instead of returning it to the room. A few things worth telling us before the first visit: Sensitivities and allergies. If someone in the house reacts to fragrance or a particular cleaner, say so and we will work around it. A product you prefer for a specific surface — a stone cleaner, a hardwood finish — can be left out for us, and we will do our best to use it. An anxious dog or cat. Most pets settle quickly with a familiar team, but tell us and we will plan the visit around yours. One honest limit: Happy Maids does not handle pet waste, litter boxes, or biohazards. That is not a cleaning job, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.
