By entering into to this Agreement, you expressly acknowledge that you understand this Agreement and accept all of its terms. If you do not agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement, you may not use or access Wasatch Maids Services.

Initial Home Cleanings

All new clients of recurring cleaning services must have a single cleaning completed before recurring cleanings will begin. This is charged at a one-time rate. All first initial cleans will be followed by recurring weekly, bi weekly, or monthly cleanings. A recurring service is defined as a service performed within 30 days of the previous service. If service is provided outside of 30 days, it may be subject to the one-time rate.

First-time cleanings typically take longer than the maintenance cleans and time is always estimated to be longer than the recurring cleans. The work is involved to bring the home to standard and prepare it for discounted recurring cleanings (as these normally take less time). All cleaning for initial and recurring cleanings have areas cleaned as provided on our website: wasatchmaids.com/home-cleaning-checklist

Payment Methods and Terms

As a customer, you are entitled to a no-hassle buying experience. We accept checks, Credit Card, Venmo, and cash. Credit Card payment is subject to a temporary hold 48 hours prior to service, and is charged upon completion at the total, or adjusted amount. All other payments required upon completion of service within 24 hours or as otherwise agreed upon. All checks are to be written out to Wasatch Maids, or Rocky Mountain Group. Your Satisfaction is guaranteed. While we do not offer refunds on services that have been provided, we will return & re-clean any areas of concern that are reported to us within 24 hours of your cleaning. If a re-clean request is not accepted, we are unable to provide any refunds or price reductions. Any price reduction from original service is done out of the kindness of Wasatch Maids and is not part of our policy.

Recurring Home Cleanings: (weekly, bi weekly, monthly cleanings)

The rate to clean your home will depend on the square footage of your home and how often you need cleaning. The rate is also determined by how your home is lived in. (Animals, Children, etc.).

Due to insurance requirements, we are not allowed to be on any ladders other than our provided ones and step-stool (as these are a pre-determined height according to our insurance). We are also not able to move heavy furniture in order to clean behind, and ask that you may do so before we arrive, otherwise we may not be able to clean the needed areas.

Although we are professionals, sometimes we are called in too late to correct damage that is already done to surfaces that were not taken care of in the past. Other items may take a couple of cleanings to look their very best (even after a deep clean). We strive in making everything look as new as possible. In cases of extremely cluttered areas or surfaces we reserve the right to use our discretion to skip those areas to avoid damaging items or hurting ourselves. We also reserve the right to skip a cleaning or area in the home which isn't part of the original scope, as outlined on Wasatch Maids' What's Not Included page.

We need to be able to work freely and without distractions. Every effort is made to work safely and cautiously, but we cannot If for any reason an employee of Wasatch Maids feels that their personal safety is in danger enough to leave the job site, due to actions by the customer, guests of the customers or others at the job site, the customer will remain liable for the full cost of the job.

Special Requests - We do ask that you have all special requests in advance to assure that your cleaning team who is responsible for cleaning several homes each working day, will be able to accommodate your special requests without impacting our other clients' needs for arrival times, etc. If special requests are added that are outside of original scope, prices will be adjusted based on our standard rates.

We provide all the appropriate equipment and supplies necessary to do our jobs. Any additional service requests by yourself not included in the cleaning package that you select will also be billed for additionally unless it is noted on your service proposal at the time of your estimate, or booking. (for example - refrigerator cleaning, oven cleaning, etc.) For your convenience we do have an invoicing and auto-pay program. All services are invoiced, and payment is due upon completion of your recurring service.

Communication - We love to hear from you! Please reach out to us, leave notes, or call us to let us know how we are doing. Notes are also great to give specific cleaning instructions, and to let us know an area that may have been overlooked. Do not hesitate to let us know any concern, we want you to be happy. I appreciate all comments regarding service and will use them to improve all aspects of residential cleanings.

Cancellation Policies - Every client has a designated spot on the calendar for their services. If you have any changes, please call/text us as soon as possible (801) 821-2316. This allows us to plan and make any adjustments needed. With respect to our time and other clients' schedules and requests, we have a 48-hour cancellation policy unless agreed upon prior to performing the clean. Last minute cancellations can cause havoc on our scheduling. You may reschedule, skip, add, or cancel any of your cleanings, however we do ask for a 48-hour notice for these actions. Cancellations happening with less than a 48-hour notice will be charged at $50 cancellation fee. Payment will have to be made in full prior to scheduling any further work. All cancellations must be made through the owner of the company by calling (801) 821-2316. Please understand that unlike other industries such as retail, hair dressers, etc. we in the cleaning industry do not have the luxury of walk-in customers to supplement our schedules when a client cancels without notice. When we schedule your cleaning service, we reserve that space/ time for you and you alone. Cancellations cost us dearly and it is why we need policies in place. We thank you in advance for your understanding. We strive to deliver your service in a timely manner. We service homes between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. Even if you normally have an afternoon cleaning, there may be times that we need to clean your home in the am instead. Approximate time of arrival will be provided upon scheduling and booking. We make every attempt to pin our arrival time estimate down to a 1-hour window of time based on that day's work load.

Health Matters - We ask that you notify our office if you or anyone in your family is sick or has a contagious illness so that we can take precautions or choose to re-schedule your job. We will also never send one of our team members into your home if we know that they are ill. Please note that due to health reasons we do not clean up pet waste or other bio-hazard cleaning, as these are different services.

Vacations and Holidays - Wasatch Maids is closed on New Year's Even, New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. If your regular cleaning lands on one of these days, we will reschedule you to another day. Weekly clients will have first choice of rescheduled dates, then bi-weekly, then monthly. If you will be out of town or on vacation during a holiday week, please let our office know as soon as possible to avoid a last-minute cancellation fee.
