A service can be cancelled at any time without a penalty fee as long as the cancellation was made prior to the day of the booking (IE Booking is for Thursday, cancellation is made no later than Wednesday morning). if cancellation is made after the grace period a fee of $70.00 will be implemented.

The benefit of using our Agency is our job is to allocate the right cleaner for the client.

Yes, We can do cleans after builders additional fees may apply. if it’s a small renovation job and it just needs a good vacuum, dust and mop, this is fine under our standard plans.

While we don’t guarantee mould removal our cleaners can clean areas affected by mould. They will advise you what has been achieved using the products they have available. As a general rule, if you rub your finger over the mould and it comes off, this is surface mould and something that can be removed. If it doesn’t come off it’s likely the mould is embedded in the surface and unlikely to be removed. While bleach based products can kill off surface growth and spores on nonporous surfaces, it will not penetrate porous materials, contrary to claims made by several products on the market. If the mould is growing on plaster or grout or wood it will kill mould on the surface, but not below it.
