Cleaning Services
We provide cleaning services for your villa, cottage, or house. We use our own cleaning supplies which include brand name products. We also supply our own brooms, mops cleaning cloths and Oreck vacuum cleaners.
Our service begins when you request a cleaning. We try to set the cleaning date during the week as cleanings on week ends are slightly more expensive. We do not utilize a crew of cleaners that descend upon your home. Usually one cleaner is assigned to your home (sometimes two depending upon the size of your home and/or if time is a factor). We do laundry on site. We do not mix your laundry in with others. In most cases, the laundry is completed within the normal time it takes to clean the home resulting in no additional charge. Sometimes, due to limited washer capacity and the amount of linens/towels that need cleaning, additional time is required.
Homes and villas are on an hourly basis of $35/hour Monday — Friday and $45/hr on week ends. We only require at least 5 days notice on cleaning requests. Requests of shorter noticed a subject to a 50% upcharge and limited to staff availability
After your home has been cleaned, an inspector will walk the home to make sure our standards have been met.
On occasion during heavy demand periods, we will use outside contracted cleaning services. However, all cleanings are managed and inspected by our personnel and adhere to our same high standards.
Also, because of minimal demand and the difficulty of staffing, we do not offer Sunday cleanings.
We have three levels of cleaning: Prep Cleaning, Full Cleaning and Spring/Fall Cleaning:
The cost for a prep cleaning is generally about half that of a full cleaning and the cost of a spring/fall cleaning is generally double that of a full cleaning.
