    The Platinum Clean team adheres to guidance from the CDC and local authorities to make sure we take every precaution to keep our customers and employees safe.  Our CleanPro’s practice social distancing, as well as wear gloves and face masks if required.

    If CleanPro’s are not feeling well, we ask them not to come into work.  If they have any symptoms that could be COVID-19 related, we ask them to go get tested for COVID-19 at places that administer proper lab testing.  If a CleanPro tests positive they will be required to quarantine from work for 5 days based on current CDC  guidelines.  Our team monitors and updates our COVID-19 protocol based on the most current CDC guidelines.  If a customer or household member is ill we will not go into the home.

  • 4. Is there any liability or tax responsibility if I hire a housekeeper?

    When hiring independent housekeepers, homeowners often assume liability for work-related injuries and the burden of payroll taxes. Our team handles all aspects of our staff’s employment, including payroll taxes and worker’s compensation in case of any injuries.  This is one of the key reasons customers choose to work with us!

  • 5. How long will it take to clean my home or office?

    As the services we offer are tailored to individual home or office requirements, providing an exact cleaning duration isn’t feasible. However, we can offer an average timeframe based on similar-sized spaces we’ve serviced in the past. Please keep in mind this is merely an estimate and might vary for your specific space.  If you have a set budget, we can use a prioritized task list and accomplish what’s possible within the allocated time, ensuring it meets our minimum service criteria. This approach allows us to adapt to your needs while maintaining our quality standards.

  • 6. What do I need to do to start?

    Booking online is our easiest, most stream-lined way to get started and highly recommended.  You and computers don’t get along?  No problem.  You can give us a call or send us an email.  Should you prefer an in-person meeting before our initial cleaning session, we’re more than happy to arrange that as well.  No matter the method you opt for to initiate our service, our first step involves collecting essential details about your home or office and your specific cleaning requirements. You’ll receive a list of available services, allowing you to select the tasks you’d like us to undertake.  Following this, we’ll offer a complimentary estimate for your consideration.

  • 9. Do I have to be home when the CleanPro comes?

    You do not need to be home.  We understand that you may be at work or have plans to do something else.  Numerous customers entrust us with access via a keybox and, if needed, alarm codes, which we handle with utmost security and discretion.

  • 10. Will I always have the same CleanPro?

    Consistency in your CleanPro service is our aim. While we strive to assign the same professional to your home or business for every visit, unforeseen circumstances may lead to unavoidable changes. Whether due to personal reasons or unexpected situations, there might be instances where your designated CleanPro may not be available.

  • 17. Can I hire one of your cleaning professionals directly?

    Our staff members are not available for direct hire and our client agreement states that in our non-solicitation section.

  • 18. Prior to my scheduled cleaning, what should I do beforehand to get ready?

    To maximize the effectiveness of your cleaning service, preparing your space beforehand greatly helps. Prior to our visit, decluttering surfaces, sinks, and floors is recommended. However, if you prefer not to worry about this, having portable, lightweight bins, baskets, or trays handy can expedite the process of moving personal items, allowing us to delve into a thorough cleaning without disruptions.

    Our aim is for our CleanPros to concentrate on the challenging cleaning tasks rather than organizing your belongings. For the safety of both our team and your possessions, please note that we do not move heavy furniture, large area rugs, or items exceeding 25 lbs.
