How does payment work?
We collect a 20% booking deposit to secure your cleaning appointment. The remainder 80% is due at time of cleaning directly to your maid. Maids accept cash, check or venmo.
Do I need to provide cleaning supplies?
All maids use Plantiful Clean’s non-toxic, naturally effective products—safe for kids, pets, and sensitive homes. Maids are equipped with our Multisurface Cleaner, Bathroom Cleaner and Floor Cleaner.
If you have a particular product you’d like to provide your maid with, we’re happy to accommodate.
Is tipping required?
Tips are never expected but are always appreciated. If you’d like to tip your cleaner, you can do so directly by cash, check, or Venmo.
Do I need to be home for the cleaning?
You’re welcome to be home during your cleaning, or to step out and let your cleaner work independently—it’s entirely up to you. If you’ll be away, just be sure to leave entry and lock-up instructions. For added peace of mind, we’re proud to share that in 15+ years of service, we’ve never had a theft incident.
Can I add more time to my booking?
If your checklist ends up needing a bit more time, no problem! If your cleaner’s schedule allows, you can add extra time during your visit. Extra time is $25 per 30 minutes per maid and can be paid directly to your cleaner(s).
