    • Every effort is made to be as careful as possible with your items, however, accidents do happen. Notification must be made within 24 hours of breakage/loss of any personal items. Items which are antique, irreplaceable, hard to find etc. will not be cleaned unless a liability waiver is signed. Our crews are instructed to take a picture of any such item so that we can work on replacement or repair.

If you would like cleaning behind heavy objects, please move prior to cleaning. We do not move furniture.
