Terms and conditions
Introduction
Welcome to Miss Meticulous Cleaning Co, we are committed to excellence and customer satisfaction. By booking our services, you are agreeing to these terms and conditions. If you don’t agree with any part of the document, please let us know before your first service.
Satisfaction Guarantee
We pride ourselves on our commitment to professional standards in all our cleaning tasks. If you ever observe that a task included in your booking hasn’t been performed to these standards, we assure you a responsive and fair resolution. Please inform within 24 hours of service completion if this is the case. We will prioritize a return visit to re-clean the areas in question at no extra charge, scheduling this at the earliest opportunity. This guarantees our way of upholding our high-quality promise to you, ensuring your complete satisfaction with our services.
Package-Based Service Model
Miss meticulous offers services based on a package model allowing our technicians to focus on a comprehensive, consistent service rather than hourly rates. This ensures predictable pricing, efficiency, and customized cleaning to suit your needs.
Why a Package-Based Model benefits you:
-
Predictable Pricing: Know exactly what you’re paying for upfront, without any surprises.
-
Efficiency and Focus: Our team concentrates on delivering the best results in the most effective manner.
-
Customized Cleaning: Tailored packages to suit different homes and cleaning requirements.
Customised Quotes
If our packages do not fit your specific needs and you have requested a customised quote, our technicians would complete all items requested in the quote to our high standards, if any additional items are not specifically listed in the existing quote, the additional items would need to be requoted and rebooked for a future date. If a small, un-quoted item is raised at a clean, the decision to perform this task will solely be determined by the allocated technician assigned to the service, any undue pressure placed upon the technician to perform unquoted items during a service may result in forfeiture of services including any cancellation fee brought about by this action.
Miss meticulous reserves the right to cancel and bill for any service where misleading information is provided by the customer, this includes but is not limited to any safety concerns, access issues and cleaning conditions not being stated honestly. This decision will be made solely by the (Cleaning Company) professionals.
Booking Confirmation
Booking online does not automatically confirm your appointment, only to reserve your preferred time and type of service. (Cleaning company) has full time dedicated administration staff that will confirm your booking via email or phone.
Each standard package is quoted on the expectation that the home has been thoroughly cleaned within the last 4 weeks of the booked service. If it has been longer than this, this will constitute services not included in our standard package, and you will need to let us know in advance, so that we can quote appropriately to bring your property up to a maintainable level of cleanliness. If you book regular services and more than 4 weeks have passed, your first clean back with us will be at a higher package price than your regular quoted service, to allow us the time to perform the service to our professional standards.
Billing (insert your payment terms)
By booking with Miss Meticulous, a payment hold is placed on your preferred payment card for the full-service amount one day before your booked appointment. If the hold fails, we reserve the right to cancel any and all future appointments. The hold is charged with funds taken on the day of service.
In the event that a service has been delivered, and payment has not been received, the customer agrees and understands that a debt collection service may be engaged to recover withheld payment and/or legal proceedings will be instigated to recover payment with Miss Meticulous also to seek any additional cost to recover missing payment.
Service Technicians
Miss Meticulous services take every reasonable step when recruiting potential staff members to help us provide a high-level service, and to build a safe and trusted brand in our community. As a part of our process, Miss Meticulous has mandated that all staff must pass a criminal history check and undertake relevant training. Miss Meticulous has developed documented processes and policies outlining all behaviours and expectations with each team member also receiving training on these matters before signing contracts indicating their understanding.

By booking with Miss Meticulous the customer understands that all of our technicians have been trained to leave if they feel unsafe or disrespected by any person within the home, this extends to any guest or animals and may result in the customer receiving a full-service charge for the cancelled service booking. It is a condition of Safe Work Australia (select relevant Country) that all workers are provided a safe working environment without harassment of any kind. Failure to provide a safe work environment can lead to potential costly legal action.
Cleaning Day Preparation
By booking with Miss Meticulous the customer agrees to make sure that your home is made suitable and ready for our technician to perform their services. Each quote is provided based on the cleaners focusing all their time on cleaning surfaces (and not tidying or picking up toys and objects), we ask that you take a few minutes to tidy up to allow the cleaners easy access to all areas/surfaces to be cleaned professionally including package items.
Miss Meticulous reserves the right to cancel/suspend a customer’s service at any time if our technicians do not have suitable access to perform the booked service. If a booking is cancelled due to the home not being ready/suitable to receive the professional service, the customer understands and agrees to pay full payment due to lost booking opportunities through no fault of our own.
Add-On Services
Additional services like dishwashing, emptying bins and bed making, etc. are available and can be added to your package, these extra services will incur an additional fee. All added extras will need to be booked before time, and not requested during a service booking, so we can make sure we allocate an appropriate amount of time to professionally complete these tasks. You can book these services by contacting our dedicated administrative staff for assistance.
Pets Policy

Payments
Payment is due on the day of service. Late payments may incur additional fees. (except for funded services with terms expressed in the quote) It is also the responsibility of the client to ensure any such funding has been both approved and made available unless the service is booked through a third-party funds manager with a separate contract being created directly with the fund’s manager.
Refund Policy

Continued customer cancellations may result in your services being suspended or cancelled entirely as we reserve this spot specifically for you and other customers may value this dedicated time allocation.
Cancellation Resulting from Miss Meticulous
If the cancellation within 24 hours of service occurs from Miss Meticulous, this will entitle the customer to receive their next scheduled service at 10% off for any inconvenience, Miss Meticulous will try our best to have a different service technician complete your clean before cancelling your service, if a different cleaner is refused by the customer, the customer will forgo the half price discount and will agree to wait for next scheduled clean to receive service.
