Our Policies
The short version of our Terms of Service: what to expect before, during and after your cleaning. Each policy links to the full wording.

Booking & Deposits
- A deposit of 50% of the estimated price reserves your appointment, and it counts toward your final bill.
- Your booking is confirmed only after we receive the deposit and confirm the time with you. An estimate or a tentative date doesn't hold the slot.
- Same-day bookings may carry a surcharge of $5 per hour for each cleaner, always agreed before we start.
Full terms:§1
Cancelling or Rescheduling
- Cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours ahead and there's no fee: we move your deposit to a new date or refund it in full.
- With less than 24 hours' notice, a $50 fee comes out of the deposit and the rest is refunded or moved to the new date. Recurring clients follow the same rule, even without a deposit.
- If we can't get in at the scheduled time (nobody is home, or the code doesn't work), it may count as a late cancellation.
- If we cancel, there's no fee. You choose a new date or a full refund of your deposit.
Satisfaction Guarantee
- Not happy with an area? Tell us within 24 hours of the cleaning and send clear photos or video of the spots.
- If the concern is within the work we agreed on, we'll either come back and re-clean those areas at no charge or offer a partial refund.
- The guarantee covers the agreed work in the booked time. It doesn't cover new messes after we leave or tasks outside the booking.

Pricing
- $55 per hour for each cleaner. Your quote is an estimate: you pay for the time actually worked, plus Minnesota sales tax.
- Every visit has a 2-hour minimum with one cleaner ($110), even if the work takes less time.
- Booked hours aren't a promise that every room gets done. If more time is needed we ask first, and extra time you approve is billed at $41.25 per hour per cleaner.
- Add-ons: inside the oven, inside the fridge, interior windows or inside kitchen cabinets, $30 each (large cabinet jobs may be billed hourly). Laundry is a $25 flat fee.
Payment
- Payment is due when the cleaning is finished. Your deposit is subtracted from the total.
- We accept cash, check, Zelle, and debit or credit cards. Credit cards carry a 3% processing fee; cash, check, Zelle and debit cards don't.
- The balance must be paid in full within 3 days of the cleaning. After that, a one-time late fee of up to $100 may apply.
Damage & Your Belongings
- KLY is bonded and insured, and our cleaners handle your home with reasonable care.
- If you think something was damaged during the cleaning, tell us within 24 hours and include photos.
- We aren't responsible for damage that was already there, or for loose, poorly mounted or worn-out items that fail despite careful handling. Please point these out before we start.
- Put away jewelry, cash, important papers and keepsakes before your appointment.
What We Don't Do
- We don't move heavy furniture or large appliances, so the areas behind and under them aren't cleaned. Move them beforehand if you want those spots done.
- We clean what we can safely reach from a 3-step stool. High ceilings, skylights and tall fixtures beyond that reach aren't included.
- Standard cleaning doesn't include mold testing or removal, and we can't guarantee that old or set-in stains will come out.
- We may decline or stop work when conditions aren't safe, such as a serious pest infestation, bodily waste or significant mold.
Access, Keys & Safety
- Door, gate and alarm codes, keys and lockbox codes stay confidential and go only to the cleaners on your job.
- Please keep electricity, running water and a safe indoor temperature on during the visit.
- Keep pets secured and children supervised. Our cleaners don't provide childcare.
- Tell us about hazards or unusual conditions before the visit. If a known hazard wasn't mentioned, we may decline the work and count it as a late cancellation.
Photos & Privacy
- Our cleaners may photograph the work areas before, during and after the cleaning, to check quality and settle any questions.
- Photos stay in our internal systems. We never use them in ads or on social media without your separate permission.
- We avoid photographing personal belongings, documents or people, and we never record audio.
