Welcome Information

 

Welcome to the Colorado Mile High Cleaning Family.  We appreciate your consideration of our services and look forward to developing a great working relationship with you . This is a list of the most frequently asked questions.

​

Is Colorado Mile High Cleaning Insured?

Yes! Our General Liability and Workers Compensation insurance ensure that our clients are protected. A copy of our policy is available upon request.

​

What Days and Hours Do You Work?

Our office hours are Monday thru Friday  8:00am to 5pm.  Our arrival time for our first appointment is normally between 8:00-9:00 am. We try our best to accommodate your preference in cleaning days. We do not set cleaning times so you will be asked if you prefer morning, afternoon, or either. Unfortunately, it is difficult for us to give you a specific time for your cleaning due to the fact that we clean homes to a specific standard and all homes are different in size and cleanliness. Therefore, we provide a 2 hours window arrival. Only the first arrival in the day time between 8am and 9am is 1 hour long – all other arrival window times are 2 hours long. Most clients provide us with a key and are never home so this doesn’t affect them. 

​

The house keepers are out cleaning Mondays thru Fridays. First arrival window time between 8am and 9am and the last arrival is between 2pm and 4pm. In the winter since it gets dark in the afternoon, the last arrival is between 1pm and 3pm. The reason is because when the house keepers are cleaning is easier and better to clean with daylight instead of artificial lighting since different homes have different lighting it can be hard to see dust under some type of lighting. *We also ask during snowy seasons that your driveway and side walk is clear from ice and snow. If the snow is to heavy and schools are closed we will not go out due to safty of our cleaners. 

​

Do You Provide Weekend Cleanings?

Not typically. Only on a few small occasions we may be able to do so. The rate increases as well since the house cleaners would be working overtime. Because the house keepers do not work on the weekends, if you have a need for a Saturday cleaning discuss this with the office and they would try to get a team for you. Family is important and we want our house keepers to be with their family. 

​

How Many Maid/s Are Scheduled for the Cleanings?

We normally work in teams of 2 or 3. On occasions we may schedule 2 especially if we have someone on vacation or sick. If 2 house keepers are scheduled, they will need more time to complete the cleaning. Depending on the size of job we may schedule 3 house keepers as well.

​

What Supplies / Equipment Clients Need to Provide?

We provide all the supplies and equipment necessary, with these exceptions: Toilet Brushes / Kitchen Sponge / Trash Can Liners

For your own health, we ask that you provide a toilet brush in each bathroom and a kitchen sponge. Each home has a different waste basket size, thus we require our clients to provide their own trash receptacle liners. Otherwise, we will use the size we provide on the large kitchen waste basket liners.

Please know that we use green certified cleaners for your home.  

​

​

How Can I Allow Access to the Unit?

​

We offer 3 entry options to choose from:

1. The client may opt to be home to allow access to their home the day of the service. Colorado Mile High Cleaning cannot guarantee the exact arrival times so the client must be home between the time scheduled to let the cleaner into the home. If no one is home or our cleaners are turned away for any reason there would be a lockout fee of 50% of your cleaning rate (Minimum of $50)

2. The client provides a key, garage door opener or code to gain access to the home. Keys will be placed in a secure safe at Colorado Mile High office. The cleaner or team will be issued a key the day of your scheduled service to gain access to the home. The key will be signed out by the cleaner or team and signed in after each scheduled service and placed back in the safe. The keys are not marked with any of your personal information in case they are lost. In the event the code given is not correct and cleaners cannot gain access to the home the client is responsible for the lock out of 50% of the total rate will be charged for that service.

3. The client can purchase a lock box to place a key inside and provide Colorado Mile High Cleaners  with the pass code. In the event for any reason the key is not in the lock box or the code does not work when the cleaners arrive to clean home; the client is responsible for the lock out and a cancellation fee of 50% of the total rate would be charged for that service.

What happens if I have to reschedule or /cancel my service?

In the event that you reschedule, skip, add or cancel your service, we ask that you give a 48-hour notice. Without a 48-hour notice you will be charged 50% of your cleaning. Cancellations on the same day of service for any reason will be charged the full rate of service. All cancellations must be made in writing via email to coloradomilehighcleaners@gmail.com (subject line cancel appointment)

Your time slot is yours, it is reserved for just you, if you cancel last minute it cannot be filled and this results in our employees working less hours. It's important to give our awesome cleaners the security of getting paid for that day.

​

NOTE: If cancellations becomes a pattern, it will cause the rate for your next cleaning to increase to the next level [example – if you are serviced weekly and you skip a service, you will have to pay the bi-weekly rate for your next cleaning, if you are serviced bi-weekly and you skip a service you will pay the monthly rate for you next cleaning]. The extra charge is due to the fact that the cleaners will need to stay longer to clean your home properly.

​

​

How Do I Make a Payment?

Payment is due in full the day of the service. If you are leaving a check please make it payable to Colorado Mile High Cleaning. You may leave the check in an envelope on the kitchen counter for the house cleaners.

Colorado Mile High Cleaning accepts cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard and Discover as well as Paypal. Checks returned from client’s bank will be assessed an additional fee of $40. Please call to give your credit card number.

Clients are asked to sign a credit card authorization form so we can deduct the payments automatically the day of the cleaning.

​

Can I leave a tip for the house keepers?

Yes. Tips are very much welcomed by the house keepers. Although they are completely voluntary. If you are planning on leaving a tip for the maids in cash, please make sure you write “For The house keepers” on a piece of paper. 

​

How do I make special requests?

Simply call or email us at coloradomilehighcleaning@gmail.com with your specific requests. Requests should be made with days in advance prior to the cleaning to ensure we can block enough time for your requests.

Any services requiring extra labor, supplies and/or equipment will be billed additionally for these services.  We provide a list of the "extra services" with prices. Any services not normally included in the cleaning package that the client selected will be an added charge unless it is noted in the client’s service agreement.

​

What happens if something is broke/damaged while cleaning?

Breakage can happen when you least expect it! Colorado Mile High Cleaning can assume no liability for damage due to pictures not hung securely, items with unstable bases, floating shelves, items not secured properly, etc.

Curio cabinets, figurines, glassware and items of extreme value or sentimental value should be cleaned by the client. It’s best to ensure the office knows of these items so we can ensure the house keepers are aware that they should not clean / touch these items.  ( You can also leave a post it note for the areas you don't want them to clean.) If an item is broken by one of our cleaners, Colorado Mile High will compensate you accordingly. The client needs to save broken item for Colorado Mile High Cleaning  to inspect. In most cases, we ask the house keepers to bring the item to the office so we can send you photos and immediately check with specific companies if we can fix the item.

Our house keeprs are  asked  to  always  notice us of damages.  However, if for any reason a damage is not reported and you notice it first it’s important to email us immediately. If you can take a photo with your cell and forward it to us that’s even better since it would expedite how fast we can find a solution or compensate you accordingly.

What is the Colorado Mile High Cleaning guarantee?

We want you to be absolutely delighted with the cleaning service! Report any concerns to our office.  Email us at coloradomilehighcleaning@gmail.com within 24 hours after the service. We will return and re-clean the area(s) of concern at no cost to you. It’s very important to report the issues immediately. We try our hardest to clean the very best. 

​

What happens during the initial cleaning?

The initial cleaning is considered a deep cleaning. Even for those clients with previous cleaners and are looking to change from one company to another. We had clients who were so convinced that they didn’t need a full deep cleaning and once the house cleaners start cleaning and all the dust comes out, they are surprised! Not all companies clean the same way and provide the same service. Therefore, to ensure we are consistent, we start all new clients with a deep cleaning. The first cleaning is provided at a first time rate depending on sqaure footage along wtih the condition of your home and pets.  After the initial cleaning, the following visits are charged based on the regular flat rate provided to you.

​

During this cleaning based on the square footage of the unit, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, common rooms, pets, etc. and any final observations from the maids, we are able to calculate the rate for regular service. Once we have that rate we can email you a proposal for regular service. 

​

​

What are the payment terms?

• Scheduled Service cancelled without 48 hours’ notice receive a $50 late cancellation fee.

• Lock out fees are charged at 50% of the full rate of service. Lock out fee means that the maids were scheduled, dispatched to clean your home but they didn’t obtain access to the unit. This means that Colorado Mile High Cleaning  paid all employees scheduled for your unit, paid travel time plus waiting time to figure out if someone was going to be able to allow them.  

• Payment is due in full the day of the cleaning ( You can also pre-pay)

• Colorado Mile High Cleaning  accepts cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, Amex and Discover.

• Any NSF (insufficient funds) checks will be resolved by charging my back up credit card on file for the past due amount along with any NSF fees.

​

​

​

What are your holidays?

We work every day with exception of 6 holidays: New Years, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas, Christmas Eve. 

​

​

​

What do you do with pets? Most of our team members feel very comfortable with cats and dogs.

​

We love pets! However due to potential health risks, we do not clean litter boxes, urine or feces. For the safety of our team members and your pets, if you have a pet that is the least bit aggressive, it will need to be absent from the areas we are cleaning.

Although we love pets, we kindly ask that on the day of your cleaning service all pets be secured, confined, locked away or removed from the premises prior to the cleaning. It is important to ensure pets are secured before the team arrives, as pets may try to run out when the crew is entering or leaving the premise. More importantly, they could easily be trapped in a closet or room without proper food and liquids for a prolonged period of time. We hope you understand that this policy is to ensure the health and safety of your pets.

You may choose to leave your pet free to walk / run around your home / apartment, in that case please know that we cannot be held liable for the pets safety in the event that they get trapped in an area without our knowledge. Its also very important to report any issues within 24 hours.
