NGCS Terms of Service

To clean your home, we will require a key or garage door code to gain access to your home.

We provide all of the equipment and cleaning supplies. We strive to provide chemical-free cleaning solutions whenever possible. However, if you have specific preferences or needs, please let us know and we can substitute products that you provide where applicable.

Most clients prefer NOT to be home during the cleaning, but it is certainly not a requirement. If you are home during the cleaning, please be sure that the technicians are given full access to all areas that they will be cleaning and are not interrupted. If you work from home, our technicians will be happy to clean your home office first in order to minimize disruption to your work day.

If you need to change your cleaning schedule, please call us and we'll make every effort to accommodate your request. We do ask for at least 48 hours notice whenever possible.

Payment is due when the cleaning is complete. We accept checks and credit cards. You may leave a check on the kitchen counter or we can keep your credit card securely on file in our office.

If you forget to leave a check, our office will contact you for a credit card or to make other arrangements.

Our cleaning technicians are trained to be conscientious and careful during the cleaning of your home, but accidents can happen. If such an accident occurs, the technician will contact our office and we will contact you. We are insured for your protection (and ours). If you notice an issue, please contact our office as soon as possible.

All of our cleaning technicians are employees of Northern Girls Cleaning Services. No one is your employee, so you don't have to worry about withholding taxes, insurance etc.

Tipping is not required, but is always appreciated. House cleaners perform a personal service just as hairdressers or waiters do, so tipping is customary, but only when deserved! To add a tip to your credit card charge, please contact our office.

The cost of clean your home is based on the size of your home, the level of cleaning needed and the condition/cleanliness of your home.
