The health and safety of our clients and our associates is our number one priority. During this unprecedented pandemic, we recognize we are in an unique position to be part of the solution as we have in-depth knowledge and experience in cleaning and how it relates to preventing the spread of illness.  At no additional cost to our clients, we have enhanced the health and safety procedures we already have in place to ensure that we can continue to provide you with our extraordinary services during this pandemic, while also keeping you happy and healthy.  We are seeing an increase in demand for professional cleaning services and many of our clients are increasing the frequency of their appointments. The following heightened practices have been enacted for each of our services:

High-Touch Point Sanitizing

A clean space is not just a happy place, it’s a healthy place. To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, we routinely sanitize all high-touch surfaces. This includes:

• Door knobs
• Light switches
• All bathroom surfaces
• Counters
• Cabinet and drawer pulls
• Handles

COVID-19 Safety Procedures to Keep You Safe

We have implemented strict procedures to ensure your safety and that of our associates.

• Temperature Checks. All associates must take their temperature each morning.  Any temperature over 99 degrees, they have been instructed to stay home. 
• Associate Illness.  Any associate who is feeling unwell is asked to remain home.
• Uniforms.  All associates are required to wash their uniforms daily and wear clean uniforms at work.
• Wearing Masks.  All associates will wear a mask when entering your home or office and anytime they are within 6 feet of another .
• Wearing gloves.  All associates will wear gloves at all times.
• Hand and Equipment Sanitizing.  All associates are taking extra hygiene steps as they enter and leave work spaces. These steps include washing their hands often for the CDC-recommended 20 seconds  and wiping down equipment with a disinfectant after each service.
• 100% Microfiber. We use 100% microfiber cloths which remove 98% of bacteria and viruses when used in combination with professional cleaning products. All cloths are cleaned and sanitized and never used in more than one house.
• Surface disinfecting. We use a hospital-grade disinfectant on all high-touch surfaces throughout your home. (Counter tops, bathroom surfaces, door knobs, light switches, handles, etc.). Be aware that when disinfecting surfaces, the disinfectant needs to sit wet on the surface to work properly. You may notice us using more cleaner than normal and not drying surfaces.
• Floors. We will use a hospital-grade disinfectant to clean your hard surface floors unless you request we use the standard cleaner. Our disinfectant is a neutral pH and safe for all floor surfaces.
• Vacuums. If you prefer we use your vacuum, just let us know.
• Social Distancing. We ask that our associates be given 6 feet of social space while working. We have also discontinued having our technicians come into the office to reduce the risk of passing this virus to one another.
