Is Tidy Vibe a good fit for me?

Tidy Vibe offers (what we think) is a pretty cool approach to both cleaning and business.

Given these pillars, we are a great fit for clients who

Believe in fair wages + tips for quality work performed
Believe in the importance of taking care of our planet
Want to support a local business with values
Want to connect with their assigned cleaner(s)

However, we may not be a good match for clients who

Want the least expensive cleaning option
Have extreme clutter, trash, or other potential health hazards
Have either an unpredictable or extremely rigid schedule
Are uncomfortable with differing cleaners in the home

How do you determine the current dirt level of my home?2023-04-04T11:27:23-07:00

At the time we calculate your estimate, we’ll ask you to describe the current state of your home and to share a photo of your kitchen, bathroom, and what you consider to be the dirtiest wall of your home.

How do I approve my quote, submit deposit, + book my clean?2024-01-08T14:05:32-08:00

For the quickest and most accurate booking, we advise that you book your clean online through our website. There you can submit all requests, add-ons, and pertinent information regarding your clean. Once you provide your credit card information, the booking will be secured and a follow up reminder will be sent via email and text for your upcoming clean. A mandatory deposit of $150 will be applied to the credit card on file for a credit on your first invoice.

A Tidy Vibe team member may also reach out via phone/email to make sure everything looks accurate and that all service requests and add-ons have been included.

Bookings may also be conducted by phone, but as our phones are not monitored hourly, there may be a wait time of 1 – 2 days.

When will my cleaning be booked?2024-01-08T14:00:05-08:00

Your initial cleaning + recurring cleans will be booked based on the preferred days + times you shared in your request + quote form. You will receive an email confirmation of your initial and recurring appointments upon booking. Your initial clean deposit will post within 1 business day of booking.

What will my first clean look like?2024-06-03T16:46:37-07:00

Your first cleaning will require a larger team + potentially more time to complete than your follow up clean. It will include a comprehensive deep clean that will get to all surfaces as indicated in the checklist and requested by you. A Team Lead will greet you upon arrival and do a quick walk-thru of your home to make sure they are clear on all instructions and get your approval on extended time if needed. Once complete, the lead will follow up to do a final post assessment before heading out. If you are inclined to leave a tip, the lead will reach out with the tipping credentials of all team members.

What will my initial + recurring schedule look like?2024-07-09T12:41:28-07:00

Initial cleans begin promptly at 9am and are scheduled to complete by midday. During the clean, please expect a lead cleaner to reach out to you about the potential for increased time if needed. You should plan to be available at the end of the clean to conduct a quick walk-thru for approval of the clean.

All recurring cleanings occur on a weekly, biweekly, monthly (every 4 weeks), and bimonthly (every 8 weeks) schedule.

Most recurring cleans start in the afternoon with typical starts times ranging from 11am – 2pm. Most cleans take between 2 – 4 hrs to complete.

*If you have special requests for your day/time of cleaning, please reach out to us directly.

How should I prepare for my clean?2024-07-09T12:59:24-07:00

Before the cleaners arrive, you should prepare your home in 4 ways.

  1. Remove excess clutter + toy
  2. Prepare the people + pets for our arrival
  3. Make sure there is an accessible entry into the space.
  4. Make sure there is a toilet bowl brush available to use (we don’t share these among clients)

*Move out clean? All items inside the home MUST be removed before we enter. We will not clean the space if there is still clutter, trash, or furniture inside of space. If we need to leave early due to ill prepared home, we will charge for the service visit deposit.

What kind of cleaning should I expect?2024-07-09T12:46:47-07:00

Our comprehensive cleaning checklist as well as add-on services are listed on our website and you can expect to have all tasks completed unless otherwise noted.

*Please note, if you have a lot of clutter/items in the home, we may not be able to access all surfaces to clean. Make sure all items are put away before the cleaners arrival.

*Move out cleans only: all items including furniture and trash must be removed before cleaners arrive. If home is not ready, we will depart the clean, charge for the time, and return when it’s ready.

 

The following services are not automatically included and must be purchased as an add -on: dishes, trash removal, bedsheets changed, laundry folded, inside oven, fridge, or cabinets, garage, attic, or unfinished basement.

If you think you might want more than one add-on consider purchasing our Upkeep combo for the best value.

What happens if my house requires more work than expected?2024-07-09T12:56:44-07:00

If at the time of service it is determined that the cleaning will require additional labor that is not reflected in the request form and approved quote (i.e. excessive clutter, higher than expected dirt or dust level), then the client should be prepared for an increased invoice to reflect the total hours of cleaning.

What happens if I live far away?2023-04-03T10:40:04-07:00

Our service area is about 10 – 20 miles from our HQ in Lakewood. If you live more than 10 miles away, we may add a $25 surcharge to support our cleaners driving time.

What happens at the end of the cleaning?2024-07-09T12:55:44-07:00

If it’s the first time we are cleaning your home, be prepared to do a final walk-thru in person to make sure we’ve done everything to your satisfaction, otherwise your cleaner will text you upon their completion.

How do I thank my cleaner?2024-07-09T12:54:46-07:00

An easy and cost-free way to thank your cleaner is by leaving them a positive google review. For every positive review, your cleaner(s) will receive a cash bonus “thank you” for their hard work.

*Please note, only submitting a scorecard through our website DOES NOT reward your cleaner. You must submit a google review to do this.

Tips are not required but highly encouraged. We recommend anywhere from 15 – 20% of your total service charge. Many of our cleaners have QR codes they can share with you. Or else you can add the tip automatically to your invoice payment.

When will I be invoiced + charged?2024-07-09T12:53:17-07:00

You should expect to receive an invoice within 1 business day of the appointment. All invoices are automatically charged same day of invoice creation.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?2024-07-09T12:52:19-07:00

Initial cleaning deposits are non-refundable. If rescheduling is absolutely necessary, you must provide at least 7 days notice or are subject to a $75 rescheduling fee.

When setting up recurring services after your initial cleaning, you are expected to commit to the time and date of your scheduled cleaning or communicate with ample notice otherwise.

All scheduled cleanings will be invoiced and charged after each expected appointment based on frequency and contract terms regardless of cancellations, rescheduling needs, or skipped cleanings.

30 days notice is required to skip a scheduled cleaning. If you provide us with 72 hour notice, you will receive a credit on your account to use for any additional future cleaning outside of your regularly assigned schedule. You can try to reschedule if there is availability before your next regular cleaning or save it for a special event or service such as an oven + fridge clean out. When a clean is skipped or your account is paused, then you are subject to an increased cost for the upcoming cleaning.

If you are unable to provide 72 hour notice, you will be subject to a $75 rescheduling fee with the remaining credit balance to be used for any additional future cleaning outside of your regularly assigned schedule.

You must provide 30 days notice by email in order to terminate, decrease services, skip a clean, or put your cleanings on hold. You can increase frequency at any time without penalty.

(60 days notice is required for all bimonthly clients)
