Terms of Service.

As a company, Happi Cleaning Co. wants to ensure that you as the customer are provided the best service possible and therefore have established a Cleaning Agreement. Through our Cleaning Agreement, we aim to clearly communicate a standard level of professional service.

Happi Cleaning Co. reserves the right to make any changes to any part of this service agreement without giving any prior notice. By ordering Happi Cleaning Co.  services by telephone, email, or its website, the client accepts and agrees to the following terms and conditions: 

‍OUR HAPPINESS GUARANTEE Your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you are not completely satisfied with any part of your service, we will return to your home to re-clean the area within 48 hours. Please contact the office within 24 hours of your service appointment.

SERVICES Happi Cleaning Co. provides whole-home cleaning services at a flat rate. This rate guarantees the completion of our Maintenance Cleaning Checklist for our Recurring Clean services, our Deep Clean Checklist for our Deep Clean services, and our Moving Clean Checklist for our Move In/Out Clean services. We do not charge hourly rates and do not guarantee a set number of labor hours.

(Initial)     PAYMENTS Client’s are required to provide a valid debit/credit card upon scheduling a service with us. 48 hours before the service appointment, a hold for the total cost of the service will be placed on the card on file. The balance will be charged on the day of the service. All customers are required to have a valid credit card on file. Receipts are sent through email.

Gratuity is not required or expected, but always appreciated. If you do choose to tip the crew, cash is preferable, as it will be shared equally by your cleaning team.

PHOTOS We respect your right to privacy. Occasionally we like to take before and after photos and videos of our work in your home or office. This media is used for cleaner assessments, proof of performance, as well as company promotion. Media is focused on the areas that we have cleaned. Media may also focus on any damage we may find and will not focus on personal property unless it was damaged and is required by our insurance to process a claim. By booking our services, you consent to our use of this media in advertisements on our social media including, but not limited to: Facebook, Instagram, Yelp, Google, TikTok etc. Images and videos will not include any persons living or working in the home or office. If you do not want pictures or videos taken of work areas in your home or office, please notify us when you schedule your booking.

(Initial)     CANCELLATIONS/RESCHEDULING We require 24 hours notice for the cancellation and or rescheduling of any scheduled services. In the event of cancellation or rescheduling with less than 24 hours notice, a cancellation fee of $50 will be issued. 

In the event that we cannot access the home (lock-out) and services are canceled, a fee of $50 will be enforced. Some reasons for this would be: the key not working, the lockbox not working, a physical barrier to the home outside of our control, or the appointed person giving us access to the home being unavailable or tardy past the 15-minute grace period.

PRICE ADJUSTMENTS We reserve the right to issue rate changes at any time. You will be notified when or if this occurs. As the needs or conditions of your home change, you may receive a price increase. Prices for your regular maintenance cleaning are guaranteed for the duration of 3 months. If a client discontinues and reinstates service with Happi Cleaning Co. after a period of 3 months, a new rate may be given. 

For your convenience, we give our pricing through a booking link that is emailed or texted to you. Price is subject to change based on conditions of the client's home upon arrival.

$99 MINIMUM Our minimum for any cleaning is $99. This applies to any room in your home or combination of rooms when a full house cleaning is not needed.

PARKING If there is no free public parking within 1 block radius of your home, our customers are responsible for providing our cleaning professionals with any one of the following: a permitted parking space (personal or public), a valid parking permit, or cover all parking fees incurred while cleaning your home. If a parking spot cannot be found or provided by the customer within a 1 block radius and a 15 minute window, your appointment will be canceled/and or rescheduled. In the event that this occurs you will be charged a $50 cancellation fee and/or your deposit will not be refunded. 

REFUNDS Since cleaning is a very personalized and subjective service, we cannot offer refunds to customers. However, we want you to be 100% satisfied with our services! We offer a Happiness Guarantee on all our services. If a task was not completed to your satisfaction, simply contact the office within 24 hours of your service appointment and we will return to your home at no additional cost. There are no refunds for gift certificate purchases. 

KEYS AND ALARM SYSTEMS Many of our customers provide us with a copy of the key to their home. Each key is locked in our key safe box. We do not return keys by mail. Keys must be hand delivered in person to the customer. The customer must present a picture ID before a key will be released. If you have an alarm system at your home, you can give instructions on its operation to Happi Cleaning Co.. However, we prefer that your alarm be left off on the day of the cleaning. In the event that our cleaning professionals are locked out of the home and services must be canceled, a $50 fee will be enforced.

APPOINTMENT TIME You are expected to be present or have made arrangements for us to gain access to your home at your appointment time. A 15-minute grace period is given in the event of tardiness. If our cleaning professionals cannot access the home within the 15-minute grace period, we require a $50 cancellation fee.

PETS We are pet friendly but appreciate your help in making sure pets are secured and safe on cleaning days. Our office should be made aware of any special requirements in safeguarding your pet(s). For health reasons we have instructed our staff to leave certain items and/or areas untouched; pet homes/beds, litter boxes, vomit, and/or fecal matter. Our teams are advised to clean around these areas. If your pet has an accident, it will be your responsibility to clean it up.

We charge a discretionary pet fee starting at $50 for homes with excessive shedding from pets.

YOUR VALUABLES If you have valuables or heirlooms, including but not limited to any irreplaceable, collectable or expensive objects, it is preferred that these items are secured and put away to avoid potential accidents. You are responsible for letting us know of any valuables that you prefer we not clean or handle. 

EQUIPMENT/CHEMICALS Happi Cleaning Co. provides most of the cleaning products, tools, and equipment needed to complete all of the cleaning services we offer. We do ask that client’s provide adequate toilet brushes. For homes with pets, we may ask clients to make a well-maintained vacuum cleaner available to us.

BROKEN/DAMAGED ITEMS We train our staff to take extra care with your belongings, however regrettably and although not common from time to time, something may be broken or damaged. If there is an item that is believed to be damaged by one of our cleaning professionals, it must be reported to the company within 24 hours from the completion of the service in efforts to properly investigate the issue.

If we damage anything during the service being provided, we will notify the customer immediately. In the event an item is damaged or broken, we reserve the option to repair or replace the item. We cannot take responsibility for items that were damaged because they were not properly attached or secured (for example, a hanging picture that was improperly attached to the wall or an item that is propped against a surface). 

GLASS SHOWER DOORS, TOILETS, FAUCETS You are responsible for notifying us if your glass shower door(s), faucets, or toilet are NOT 100% secure. If upon inspection the team recognizes that your shower door(s), toilet or faucet are not fully secure you will be notified of the risks immediately. At that time you have the option to decline service of that item or we can proceed with service. If the client decides to proceed with service, the client agrees not to hold Happi Cleaning Co. nor its employees responsible if this results in the shower door, toilet, or faucet being damaged. We are not responsible for any damage (water damage included) due to faulty and/or improper installation of any item. This includes, but is not limited to any water damage caused by: toilet over flooding and loose or leaky faucets.

EXTRA SERVICES If you require extra services or additional cleaning on your scheduled cleaning day, please contact us 48 hours in advance so we may allow the extra time needed at your home and we can give you a quote for the additional services. 

Refer to your booking form for the available add-ons.

CLEANING Our professional house cleaners take pride in cleaning your home. Since we wet-dust finished surfaces, our tools and techniques allow us to remove most of your home’s dust in a reasonable amount of time and effort. 

Please note the following limits: 

• Settling Dust: During the dusting process, some dust becomes airborne and will not settle until we have left. It may take several visits before settling dust becomes minimized. 

• Dusting Knick‐Knacks, Collectibles, and other small items: We clean small items based on the size and the number of items on a flat surface. If items take up less than 50% of the surface area of a flat surface, we will pick items up and dust underneath, if items take up 50% or greater, we will generally dust the accessible surfaces. 

• Clutter: Your clean will be far more satisfactory if the team does not have a great deal of clutter with which to contend. As we are not a professional organizing service, our team is trained to clean the areas we have reasonable access to.

• Cleaning height limits: Our professional cleaners use both a 2-step stool and extension dusting poles. Homes with high ceilings may experience some limitations due to this.

• Showers and Tubs: Showers and Tubs can accumulate lime, calcium and soap scum. Our cleaning products work very well on cutting through these deposits, however, sometimes it may take a few visits before showers and tubs become free of these deposits. Mold and mildew are organic and will grow deep into and behind grout or calk. Surface stains will be minimized by our cleaning products, but completely eliminating it may require the homeowner to have these areas re‐grouted or re‐caulked. 

• Special Surfaces: You are responsible for informing management of any surfaces that need specific specialty cleaning products or methods prior to your first clean. No liability will be assumed by Happi Cleaning Co. for damages if not informed of said surfaces. Specialty surfaces include but are not limited to: marble countertops; waxed wood flooring; unfinished wood and flooring; and cork flooring.

LIFTING, CLIMBING, & BENDING Our employees are very important to us, and we are determined to keep them safe. They do not climb higher than a 3ft 2-step ladder, move or lift items heavier than 20 lbs, or clean floors on their hands and knees with the exception of bathroom floors. These types of activities put our cleaning staff at risk of injury. 

IN-HOME CLIMATE CONTROL In-home temperatures should be comfortable prior to the start of service. Under no circumstances will services be performed in an environment that is not physically comfortable for labor. This includes but is not limited to extreme heat or extreme cold. In the event that your appointment is canceled due to uncomfortable temperatures within your home, you will be charged a $50 cancellation fee. 

(Initial)     OUR CLEANING STAFF DOES NOT: 

• Clean or remove blood or any bodily fluids, fire or water damage, or mold. We are not trained in these areas nor are we equipped 

• Happi Cleaning Co. reserves the right to refuse to service a home with ANY insect infestation (including seasonal). In the event that an infestation is identified, the cleaning staff will leave the property. You will be contacted immediately and charged a cancellation fee. 

• Provide any pet or children-related services

• Clean/Shampoo carpet and upholstery

• Clean Chandeliers

• Provide stain removal 

• Wash walls (we spot clean only)

• Remove rust

• Remove paint

• Service outdoor areas

• Clean areas above the reach of our 3ft 2-step ladder

• Clean animal waste or litter

• Move or lift items over 20lbs

• Remove mold

To see a complete list of what our services include, see the attachment: Multi-Point Checklist.

DISCRIMINATION & HARASSMENT We ask that all our cleaners be respected and treated with kindness. We have a no tolerance policy for any type of discrimination, harassment, disrespect, or unkindness. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who violates this policy.

ALCOHOL & SUBSTANCE ABUSE We have a zero drug and alcohol tolerance. In the case of our cleaners arriving and this is being conducted, they have the right to leave immediately and your service will be charged in full.

(Initial)     DISCLAIMER: We are not a maid service. We cannot guarantee add-ons such as laundry, folding of clothes, bed-making, dishwashing, etc. We are not an organizing service. If excess clutter is present, our staff will clean around it as best they could. Our staff is instructed to clean the designated areas they have reasonable access to. 

While we make every effort to clean every home to the best condition possible, our company does not specialize in home restoration cleanings. Homes that are over 20 years old, that have never had professional cleaning services, or that have accumulated dust, grease, and grime over the years might not yield expected results. When dust and oils accumulate over several years or decades, the grime causes damage to the home and the surfaces it has accumulated on. For this reason, we may not be able to use certain cleaning products. If your home is as described, please speak to a representative regarding your cleaning. We will try our best to tailor your clean to your unique needs.
