It is very important that we maintain sanitary cleaning tools and a safe environment for our own staff to work with-in.

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.

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.
