Terms and Conditions
Skelton's Cleaning Service values our clients and appreciates your business. We always provide the best cleaning possible.
The following shall apply to all customers.
We completely understand that sometimes your home can be messy due to work schedules and just working, etc. everyday. However, in order for us to provide the best cleaning possible for your household, we ask that you help us in picking up the day prior to your scheduled cleaning. This just helps both of us. For instance, if there are clothing in the floor, etc., we do not know if it is clean or dirty. And if your children left toys out, unless there is a toy box, we have no idea where they go....we can only guess......So we just try to make it easier on both of us if you help in picking up. Thanks for understanding. I have found that in cleaning that it just makes it easier to supply each room with a small to medium size plastic clothes basket. This way we can put any items be find behind and under furniture or beds, maybe in seating areas, etc. Then those items are in one place and you can put them away later when you have time in their correct place.What to do before the cleaners arrive
1.Please pick up personal items such as toys and clothes and put away in all living areas to be cleaned.
