IMPORTANT POLICY:
It is very important that we maintain sanitary cleaning tools and a safe environment for our own staff to work with-in. With this in mind, we cannot be held responsible for cleaning up animal or human messes that are a health hazard for our staff or work in a condition that is unsafe for our staff. This would include but is not limited to cleaning up: feces, vomit, liter boxes, infestation of fleas and/or roaches. In addition, our cleaning tools must remain sanitary at all times as we transport our cleaning tools from jobsite to jobsite. We will not be able to protect "all" our staff and clients if we are asked to use our tools in an unsanitary manner. We are making strides to be an eco-friendly business, along with offering a high standard of cleaning services while putting the safety of all staff and clients first. We hope that you appreciate this goal in mind and conscious choice that protects all our valued employees and customers. Please keep this in mind when considering us as your cleaning service provider. We are a residential cleaning company and are only equipped to do so. As a client you will be expected to follow this very important policy.
What are your terms and conditions?
1. Your home must be ready for Tammy's Angels Cleaning team to render service. Clothing, trash, dirty dishes, toys, etc... need to be put in proper places. We will not be able to clean highly cluttered areas properly. It is important that staff are able to access rooms they need to render service. You are more than welcome to be home, but we ask that you please be mindful that our staff is on a strict schedule and must spend their time cleaning and not having to pick up and organize or engaging in long conversations and other things that will distract them from their duties.
2. For your scheduled Cleaning the employees are not to do any Add-On's without the client first discussing these Add-On's with management. Add-ons are an extra fee and the time to render these need to be scheduled in advance. Staff responsibilities are to provide cleaning services only. Personal requests such as caring for plants or animals in any way, checking your mail or bringing in packages, rolling your trash cans to the street...etc....are not permitted. Personal requests are not limited to these listed.
3. It is our desire to keep our staff and your pet safe. If there is any chance your pet will become aggressive, or interfere with the cleaning of your home, for example, going potty on floors, getting into trash, walking on wet floors, escaping the premises if we need to open a door, etc... We ask that you have your pet created or gated in an area of your choice. We do not clean up pet accidents nor take them out to potty. If your pet is aggressive in any way or if they would become nervous while the team is there cleaning, please put your pet up. You will be held liable if you leave your pet free to run the premises and your pet bites and injures any employee of Tammy's Angels Cleaning Service.
4. At no period is a child under the age of 13 to be left unattended while our staff is rendering service. Our staff is not responsible for the care of children under any circumstance.
5. We do not move heavy furniture or climb a ladder higher than 4 ft. We will not put our employees in a position where they may get hurt. Moving large furniture also puts us at risk of damaging items or floors. We may need a step stool or ladder to reach certain areas, so you must provide the ladder or step stool as we do not have room to haul these items in our vehicles. We will move ottomans, small chairs and such-as so we can clean floors properly but no heavy lifting, pushing, or pulling will be done. We will clean/vacuum floors under this type of furniture the best we can without moving it.
6. We will clean/vacuum floors of closets/pantries if you will leave these doors open and clutter is picked up off the floors.
7. Dishes - We will put away one load of clean dishes and load one load of dirty dishes into dishwasher. We do not wash dishes by hand. Dishes are an Add-on service this is not included in your cleaning package.

for our services is based on what we discuss in the initial agreement. There may be a need for us to re-evaluate the
price for services rendered if any changes cause it to take us longer to clean your home than what we discussed in
the initial agreement. Examples being...add a pet or have additional house guests / family members for a prolonged
extended stay. If you add on to your home or make changes such as changing the carpet over to hardwood floor. If
you have any kind of construction / remodeling done to your home and we find that we have spent quite a bit longer
cleaning due to drywall dust, sawdust, water damage, etc. The overage time will be billed to you. Tammy's Angels
will add cost of living increases when the company feels that it needs to, to properly provide for clients, staff and
business needs. You will always be given ample notice of the increase and given the option to continue or
discontinue your service. There are no contracts on how long you need to use our services here at Tammy's Angels
Cleaning Service.

responsible for servicing your vacuum and replacing supplies and equipment as needed. We do not give discounts
if you provide your own supplies. We also do not require you to be absent during your service, but if you decide to
be home, or come home, or let another person stay in your house, or come to your home while service is rendered,

to....falling on wet floors, tripping over vacuum cords, buckets, cleaning supplies, tools and/or equipment.

instances where emails get lost, and text get overlooked or loss of signals may cause a text or email to not go
through. You will be responsible for keeping track of your scheduled cleaning dates. All fees are non-negotiable
whether you receive your reminder or not. We work very hard to keep our schedule full to ensure consistent work
