Got a few questions?

  1. Chargebacks:Due to the increase in fraudulent chargebacks we’ve experienced throughout the entire duration of the pandemic we’ve hired a collections agency to put all fraudulent chargebacks into collections. All accounts in collections will also receive a 10% late fee every month. As well as all *NEW* customers will be charged upon booking no matter how far out you book.
  2. How-To-Book

    When booking a move-in/Move out cleaning you MUST select the move-in move out package. If you do not, we are not liable for it to be a completed move out/move in and most likely will not confirm the booking.If your home is larger than 2 bed 2 baths you are REQUIRED to select deep cleaning. It is not fair to expect our staff members to clean your entire home in less time. The deep cleaning allocates the necessary time to properly clean these large homes.

    How to determine if your home is “Slightly Dirty, Pretty Dirty or Very Dirty.”

    If your home hasn’t been professionally cleaned within the last year, you should select “Very Dirty”.

    If your home has been cleaned within the last 6 months, you should select “Pretty Dirty”

    If your home has been professionally cleaned within the last 3 months, you should select ” Slightly Dirty “

When booking a Move Out or Move In clean, you can expect an all inclusive service. This is our most detailed package and includes 4 of the 7 extra services we offer which you can add to any level of service. These extras include: Inside oven, inside fridge, inside cabinets, and inside all windows. This clean is intended to turn the home someone once lived in, into its original state and ready for new homeowners.

A deep clean is recommended for all first time cleaning by SPRUSE. It allows us extra time to get all the areas that have been missed during regular cleanings in the past. After the initial deep clean, most customers switch to a standard 2 hour clean.

No, are rates are calculated by the information you provide on our booking page. We provide some of the lowest rates in the industry.

An additional booking must be made. In most cases this is because the lack of cleanliness required more time to begin with. 

When you book online be sure to select the current level of cleanliness of your home. This ensures the proper amount of time is allocated to cleaning your home during your scheduled booking. Improper booking information will require you to reschedule at full rate.

We’ve simplified the industry standard for booking cleaning services by removing the standard home walk through and any implementation of square footage into our rates. Be selecting 1 of 3 options we can ensure their will be enough time to clean your home.

Areas that are often left cluttered will have the added time for proper organization. Some areas that are often left unorganized are pantry’s, bedroom closets, bathroom counters, entryways, kitchen counters, etc.
