Frequently Asked Questions about our East Bay Area Housekeeping Referral Service
 

 

1. Everyone says that they are “the best,” so what exactly is it that makes The Clean Sweep different from other Bay Area housekeeping agencies? While there are numerous small differences, these seem to be most important to our clients:

• The Clean Sweep has over 30 years of expertise referring professional housekeepers and other cleaning professionals in the East Bay community.

• Our turnover is very low. The average person is here slightly over 7 years! Some have worked with us for over 20 years.

• We are extremely picky about the people we choose to work with. We never, ever advertise for help; rather, our housekeepers must be recommended by someone on our staff. This makes for an exceptionally stable, reliable and trustworthy group of people.

• We encourage your feedback, and we take what you say seriously. We are always trying to improve our service. It’s really important to us that our clients feel well care-for and happy with their service.

• Don't take our word for it, read what our clients are saying.

2. How much do you charge? The most popular cleaning is 3-4 working hours (typically 2 people for 2 hours each) and runs $95 To $105 depending on the area. If you would like the housekeepers to bring all of their own supplies and equipment there is an additional $10.00 charge. Of course, if you need more time we can easily arrange that too. You can pay a little less or a whole lot more, but we doubt you’ll find a better maid service anywhere.

 

3. What is a Referral Agency? The housekeepers we represent are independent domestic workers. They are not our employees. Because of this business model our prices are significantly lower than most of our competition.

 

4. Do the housekeepers speak English? Absolutely, although that may not be true for every team member. In addition, we always have at least one bi-lingual person working in our office during business hours.

 

5. If I set up regular maid service, will I always have the same people? Yes, as long as everyone is happy.

 

6. Is there always a real live person in the office I can talk to? Yes! We couldn't do business any other way.

 

7. Can I change housekeepers if I want to? Of course, you may. With over 30 teams to choose from there’s bound to be one that’s perfect for you.

 

8. Do I have to be at home when they clean? The majority of our clients are not home; they leave a key out on the day of service or they give their housekeepers a key. However, most people do like to be home the first time. If that means you need the first cleaning on a Saturday we can easily arrange that.

 

9. What other services do you offer?

• professional window washing
• professional carpet and upholstery cleaning
• move-in and move-out cleaning
• exterior power washing
• gutter cleaning
• spring cleaning
  

All of these cleaning services are performed by specialists at super-competitive prices.

 

10. What is Spring Cleaning? It can include just about any of the heavier, occasional cleaning you may need: professional carpet shampooing, professional window washing (inside and out, tracks, sills and screens), clean cabinets, blinds, doors and door frames, move furniture, cleanout the garage, sweep or power wash the patio, wash patio furniture, remove outside cobwebs--and much more! Just tell us what you want done. Estimates are always free.

 

11. What is Move-Out Cleaning? Like Spring Cleaning, this is a specialized type of cleaning. Therefore, only a few of the 35+ teams we represent do in move-ins and move-outs. Basically, everything is cleaned inside and out so that the house is as “like-new” as it is possible to make it. We work with numerous realtors and property managers who depend on us for exceptional work and fair prices. Free estimates are gladly given.
 

 

12. Do I have employer responsibilities? Each housekeeper registered with us is an independent domestic worker and as such responsible for his/her own taxes and Social Security. As a courtesy to both our clients and the housekeepers we issue Federal and State 1099 forms to all persons registered with the Agency. If you would like further information please give us a call.
