Frequently asked questions

Answers about Green Cleaners, and what to ask any cleaning service.

About Green Cleaners

Who will be cleaning my home?

A regular cleaner, and in most instances two cleaners, will be assigned to your home and will always try to keep regular appointments consistent with the same team members where possible. The cleaners are experienced and all trained by us to be eco aware, to minimise their impact on the environment while cleaning your home and protecting your health.

Do I need to provide cleaning supplies or equipment?

The carefully selected eco-friendly cleaning products are brought by our cleaners on each visit. For sanitary reasons, we ask that you provide some basic cleaning tools: toilet bowl brush, broom and dustpan. Vacuum cleaners are required for heavy duty dusting and carpeted homes. The better quality these tools are, the more efficient our cleaners can be.

What time will Green Cleaners be at my home?

Our normal workdays are Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm, and Saturday mornings. We schedule a regular time slot for your appointments. It is not always possible to give your requested time slot, but we will make every effort to meet your needs.

Do I need to be home during appointments?

Most of our clients are not home. Some let us in before they leave for work, leave keys with their front desk staff or have keys on file at our office. Some clients feel more comfortable being home. Whatever your preference, we are happy to make your experience pleasant and convenient.

What should I do before cleaning?

So the time we spend in your home is as efficient as possible, please pick up clothing, toys or other household items where possible.

Am I able to give my feedback?

We depend on open communication and your honest evaluation of our green cleaning service. We appreciate when you let us know how we can serve you better and always welcome your feedback.

What if something is damaged during the cleaning?

At Green Cleaners, we treat your home as we would our own. However, in the event that an object is accidentally damaged through negligence, please notify our office within 24 hours of your appointment. We will not be liable for damage through wear and tear. We understand that our clients have sentimentally valuable items which may not be replaceable, which is why we take extra care to be careful of all your belongings.

Am I required to sign a contract for a regular cleaning booking, and how do I pay?

No. We require a one month bond on confirmation of a new green cleaning service. An invoice will be arranged after each appointment. Invoices must be settled within 7 days, by cash, cheque, bank transfer or PayPal. You may wish to prepay for a 6 month package, which offers a 10% saving through our loyalty scheme.

How long does a regular appointment take?

That depends on the size of your home and how frequently you engage us. Location, furnishing level, current level of cleanliness and special requests may also be considered when your quote is prepared. Because our cleanings are so thorough, the cleaning staff need the time to clean, scrub and dust all the corners of your rooms. Larger apartments and homes may require extra time to ensure our service is fully completed, and this will be detailed in your quotation.

What does a regular green cleaning booking include?

For your own satisfaction, we can provide a checklist of cleaning services completed on every appointment, all safe in the knowledge that all products are non-toxic to your health and the environment.

What products do you use?

We use carefully selected eco-friendly cleaning supplies, but please note our products are upgraded regularly as new and better eco friendly products become available. Our products are more expensive than their toxic peers, but we use them because the human and environmental health cost is lower. We only use products that are highly effective and certified non-toxic and bio-degradable.

How are the cleaners hired and checked?

Green Cleaners is not an agency and therefore does not charge any agency fees or commissions on our packages. The cleaners must all go through our stringent screening process.

Will you send the same team on each appointment?

We always try to. If your regular team is unavailable, we will replace them with another fully trained team for the appointment.

Are you insured against damages? What about theft?

At Green Cleaners, we treat your home as we would our own. If an object is accidentally damaged through negligence, please notify our office within 24 hours of your appointment and we shall investigate immediately. We will not be liable for damage through wear and tear. We understand that our clients have sentimentally valuable items which may not be replaceable, which is why we take extra care of all your belongings.
Green Cleaners will conduct an immediate and thorough investigation in the unlikely incident of theft. If deemed necessary, the matter will be reported to the police.

Do you offer discounts or promotions?

A regular booking schedule and prepayment offer incentives through our loyalty scheme, including a 10% saving when you prepay a 6 month package. For a detailed quotation, please enquire online or call us.

Thinking of hiring a private cleaner?

For your protection and peace of mind, consider asking a few questions.

What happens if I am not satisfied?

Make sure the individual will immediately re-clean the unsatisfactory area and take corrective action so the same mistakes do not happen again.
Your satisfaction is our primary goal. If you are not satisfied, we’re only a phone call or email away.

What happens if you are sick or on vacation?

You don’t want to be left holding the bucket if the person who is supposed to clean your home can’t. Make sure the person you hire can arrange someone to clean your home in these instances.

Do you bring your own cleaning supplies and equipment?

Not everyone does. If they don’t, make sure you have the items ready and have chosen the products you want used in your home.
Our cleaners bring carefully selected eco-friendly products on each visit.

What happens if you break something or something goes missing?

Get their personal details and ask them to explain what happens if something is damaged, misplaced or goes missing. Consider asking for proof of ID and work permits, and how they will fix any damage.
At Green Cleaners, we treat your home as we would our own. If an object is accidentally damaged through negligence, please notify our office within 24 hours of your appointment.
