Cleaning Supplies:
 
Customers are required to supply and maintain cleaning products. In the event that adequate supplies are not made available, The Castle Keepers will provide the necessary supplies to complete the scheduled cleaning and an additional charge for products will be assessed. The Castle Keepers will leave any empty/low supply products in an agreed upon designated location for replenishment by the customer prior to the next scheduled clean.
 
 Payment Methods/Policies:
 
The Castle Keepers require payment in the form of a check, cash and/or money order upon arrival and/or completion of work. If payment is not made at the time of a scheduled clean, a $35.00 service charge will be added and/or The Castle Keepers reserve the right to refuse scheduled service. In the event of a returned check, a $50.00 service fee will be added. The Castle Keepers reserve the right to refuse payments in the form of a personal check if a payment is returned due to insufficient funds.

*In The Event A Customer Cancels A Scheduled Clean: 

The Castle Keepers require as much advance notice as possible in order to make the necessary schedule adjustments for other customers who's time slots for our arrival time would be effected. In that case, a 'Missed Clean' fee of 50% will be applied to the next clean. Example: If your clean is $100, your next clean will be $150 as the home would require additional time and effort to get it back to where it was prior to the cancellation. 

In the event of a 'SAME DAY' cancellation, the 'Missed Clean' fee is 100% as we determine staffing based on the number of cleans scheduled for that day. 

*** This policy DOES NOT apply in the event The Castle Keepers cancel a scheduled clean ***

 Lock Outs / No Authorized Person Home:
 
In the event that The Castle Keepers can not access your home, it will be necessary to charge the full price of your cleaning.
