FAQ' s 

Every member of our cleaning staff has been vaccinated and has been issued appropriate PPE that includes nitrile gloves, KN95 masks, and clear plastic face shields. In addition, our staff self-monitors body temperature using personal digital thermometers on a daily basis. They have been instructed not to report for work if they observe any increase in temperature beyond 100.4℉ or the onset of even minor symptoms commonly associated with COVID-19. In accordance with CDC recommendations, Green Clean has implemented an enhanced cleaning protocol using an EPA-registered List N hospital-grade botanical disinfectant that is safe in both commercial and residential settings. This protocol includes disinfection, not only of bathroom and kitchen surfaces, but also of items that are contacted multiple times during the course of the day such as interior/exterior door knobs and handles, and light switches. If you prefer that we use a disinfectant that you already have on hand, please let us know — we could substitute your own disinfectant during cleanings. Likewise, if you prefer that we do not disinfect surfaces in your home or office, just say so.

You can call us at the number listed in the footer of every page on our website, or you can send a direct message via the "CONTACT US" section at the bottom of our homepage. You can also click on any button that says, "GET A QUOTE". Because we believe in arriving 100% prepared, an estimate is required before scheduling your actual cleaning. Please keep in mind that, although we're usually able to do an estimate within just a day or two, it usually takes a bit longer to schedule your cleaning.

Initial cleanings usually require scheduling two or more cleaners, so we suggest allowing at least 1 1/2 to 2 weeks before your desired cleaning date when calling for an appointment. This gives us sufficient time both to do an estimate and also to fit you into our schedule.

The total cost of an initial cleaning depends upon the size of your space and certain other factors. The hourly rate for an initial deep cleaning is $48.00 per hour per cleaner plus tax — usually two cleaners work together. Once we do your estimate, we can give you a definite idea of the cost to clean your particular space. To help create a more accurate quote, it would be helpful if you could do a walk-through video with audio commentary and/or provide still photos of your space. If you agree to provide a video and/or photos, we’ll send a secure link that will allow you to upload your video/photos without file size restrictions. If you're unable to provide a video and/or photos, but instead provide an exact address, including apartment number and ZIP code, we may be able to find realtor-produced listing photos of your space.

We accept all major credit cards — American Express, MasterCard, Visa, and Discover. We require that a valid credit card be on file at the time we schedule your initial cleaning. For residential customers who book regular cleanings, we can schedule automatic recurring payments using a credit card on the day of each cleaning. Commercial customers are invoiced in advance for service on the first of each month with payment due 30 days from the date of the invoice.

Please notify us of any changes at least 48 hours in advance of your scheduled cleaning date/time. A fee of 25% of your estimated initial cleaning cost will be assessed for cancellation with less than 48 hours notice.

If we finish sooner than expected, you would pay only for the hours we actually worked.

Usually we're right on target, but occasionally unforeseen circumstances — such as hidden dirt or especially greasy kitchen surfaces — might require more time. About 3/4 of the way through the cleaning, we'll know if we're going to need more time, and can give you a "heads-up", so that you can decide whether or not you want us to continue.

Normally, one of the cleaners who was a member of the initial cleaning team is assigned to do your regular cleaning, because they're already familiar with your space. Depending upon staff availability, you could request two cleaners for cleaning times of 6 hours or more, so that they're finished and "out of your hair" in half the time.

We make every effort to send the same cleaner each time. However, we reserve the right to assign a different cleaner at any time in order to resolve scheduling issues. Should your regular cleaner get sick or need a day to take care of personal business, we always give you the option either to keep your regular appointment (with a different cleaner) or to re-schedule your cleaning with your regular cleaner.

Please notify us of any changes at least 24 hours in advance of your scheduled cleaning date/time in order to avoid a cancellation fee. See our POLICIES page for details.

If we fail to give you at least 24 hours advance notice of a schedule change or cancellation, you will receive a credit for one hour of cleaning.

We have commercial liability insurance in case we should accidentally damage something while cleaning your home or office. In the event that breakage or damage does occur, we'll do our best to repair or replace the item. If it can't be repaired or replaced, we will either reimburse you for the item or file an insurance claim if necessary. We also maintain fidelity bonding and Workers' Compensation insurance for all employees.

You’ll need a bucket, a flat rectangular microfiber wet mop — no sponge mops, please! — a soft-bristle synthetic fiber broom, a dust pan and brush, and a toilet bowl brush with holder. Although a vacuum is optional, we suggest the purchase of a good quality canister-style HEPA vacuum, even if you don’t have any carpeting in your space, because it enables us to control dust more effectively. If you’re considering the purchase of a HEPA vacuum, we’d be glad to recommend vacuums suitable for your particular space.

Each time we clean, we bring our own non-toxic, natural cleaning supplies. We also bring microfiber cleaning cloths, special micro-pore sponge cloths, and non-abrasive synthetic fiber scrub pads, all of which are replaced as needed.

We're pleased to provide additional value for our clients by offering limited laundry service during a regular cleaning at no extra charge, if the machines are within your building. Green Clean does not provide ironing service. Please see our POLICIES page for details.
