  • Must I be at home when you clean my house?
    It’s TOTALLY your choice. Most of our customers provide us with a key because most are not home when we clean. Others leave us a key in a safe place each visit. For those who don’t provide us with a key, you will need to leave your leasing office permission for Totally Tidy Maid Service to be released a key to clean your home. *Due to extended wait times for keys, some customers will be charged an additional $5 fee if housekeepers need to gain access through their lobby*
  • How do you protect my keys?
    Your key is secured in a locked key storage device to which only the Totally Tidy supervisors have access. The key is issued to the team leader on the day of the cleaning and then returned back to the supervisor to get stored back in the lock box.
  • Do I need to do anything before the cleaning?
    In order to provide you with the best service, we ask that you always pick up & put away any items such as shoes, clothing/laundry, toys, rugs, and other misc items prior to us arriving. Also, please be sure to empty your dishwasher and leave clean sheets at the foot of the bed if you would like them changed
  • I’m new to maid service. Is there anything I should know in advance?
    There is! Like most cleaning companies, we don’t unload dishwashers or hand wash dishes. We only load the dishwasher and start it so please be sure to unload it before we arrive. Also, if you want your sheets changes, you simply leave clean sheets sitting at the foot of your bed. If not, the maids understand that you want the bed to be made with the sheets that are already on there. Be sure to allow us to know of any cleaning chemicals that you are using on your floors/counters so that we use compatible chemicals when clean your home. Any items outside of our regular cleaning are considered custom clean items and will need added on at an additional charge.
  • Are your maids checked for a criminal history before becoming a maid for your cleaning service?
    Totally Tidy is insured and all of our maids go through a thorough background check prior to becoming a part of our team.
  • Is your company insured?
    Yes we are insured so you have the comfort of knowing that you are protected against loss and/or breakage that may occur while we clean your home.

  • What do I need to do with my pets?
    Our furry friends will need to be secured while we clean.
  • Do you charge a lock-out or cancellation fee?
    Yes, if we arrive at your home but don’t have access or are turned away, you will be charged a $40-$80 turn-away fee for loss of time, gas, income, and mileage. We don’t want this to happen just as much as you, so please email or call 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule. We send you a courtesy email reminder the day prior to each service to help prevent you from forgetting if you need to cancel or reschedule service.
