What should I do to get ready before Sweep Away arrives?

To ensure maximum efficiency, we ask that you pick up any toys or clothing before we arrive. We also ask that you find a place for your pets so they’re comfortable while we clean. Following through with these requests will help both your family and our team ensure that all of your possessions are in a safe place.

Do I need to be home for every cleaning service?

No. Because we work on an 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. schedule, Monday to Friday, most of our customers aren’t home when we arrive. In a majority of these cases, our insured house cleaning professionals are provided with a spare key or garage code. If you choose to be home we will gladly work around your preferences of where to start cleaning, etc.

What time does your team arrive?

While we cannot warranty our exact time of arrival because we give every home the attention it deserves and requires, we do offer arrival windows for your convenience. We have 9:00-9:30 am 12:00-1:00 or 2:00-3:00 arrival times.

What if something's damaged during a service?

At Sweep Away we are bonded and insured to treat every single home we clean with the utmost respect. If something happens to break during our routine service, we’ll do our best to repair or replace the item. Our residential housekeepers are fully insured, so claims can be filed when appropriate.

What if something is missed or not cleaned well?

The cleaning methods we use to ensure that your home receives the most consistent clean every time. During your first consultation, we’ll create a customized cleaning plan that’s designed to accommodate all of your specific requests. However, we do recognize that perfection is not always possible, which is why we back all of our work with a satisfaction guarantee. We’re happy to correct our mistakes at no additional cost to you when you call us within 24 hours of your most recent service.

What do you not clean?

Our professional house cleaning services are designed to keep your home comfortable and clean. We customize services to accommodate your preferences so you never have to worry about paying for a service you don’t need or want.

To ensure we provide your home with the highest quality of care, we don’t typically:

  • Clean toys
  • Clean the inside of your fireplace
  • Pick up clutter
  • Wash dishes
  • Wash walls

We want to make sure that all of your belongings are in the right place when we leave, which is why we leave these organizational tasks to you. However, we’re happy to clean your cabinets, blinds, baseboards windows, stove, and refrigerator upon request.

Do I need to provide your team with my own cleaning equipment or supplies?

No. We arrive with all of the cleaning materials we need and take them with us when we leave. We’re proud to use the best products and our vacuums are cleaned after each cleaning to ensure that we leave your home looking spotless.

If you have any preferences in regards to what cleaning products we use, feel free to let us know and we’ll do everything we can to work with your requests.

What if I need to reschedule a service?

Sweep Away will work with your schedule to ensure that we’re cleaning your home at a time that’s most convenient for you. If you need to cancel or reschedule a cleaning, we recommend that you call about 48 hours before your next scheduled service. We’ll do our best to accommodate all of your scheduling needs. We also send you a confirmation text reminding you the day before your next scheduled cleaning. If you need to reschedule that is the time to do so.

Do you offer outdoor cleaning?
We offer pressure washing in Raleigh, NC. We also offer a mosquito barrier protection service (seasonal). Contact us to see if we can provide your home with these services.
What do you mean by "green house cleaning"?
This cleaning method involves the practices and products used by cleaning companies to promote a better environment and a healthier home. While most green cleaning products cannot remove all harmful forms of bacteria, Sweep Away strives to use the most appropriate methods for each service. In order to protect the environment, we utilize cloths and pads during our services, rather than paper. We also use a push mop system that is more sanitary than a janitorial mop like other companies. We strive to be as transparent as possible and are happy to answer any questions you have regarding our eco-friendly practices. Sweep Away believes in an honest approach to finding the right balance between green cleaning practices and clean home so schedule a call or free in-home consultation to ensure we suit all of your house cleaning needs.
How soon can I take cleaning off my to-do list?
You may contact us with a phone call or through our website. You can request a free in-home consultation at no-obligation. We’ll take the time to thoroughly inspect your property and discuss your budget, schedule, and cleaning preferences with you before providing a free estimate.

If a member of your team is absent, we’ll do our best to find the most suitable replacement. All of our residential housekeepers undergo extensive training to ensure that the quality of our work is always consistent.
Do your house cleaners accept tips?
While tips aren’t expected, we’re allowed to accept them. Some of our clients prefer to tip a little at the end of each service while others provide a large tip at the end of the year. You can also leave a 5-star review on Google or our Facebook page for a discount on your next cleaning. We love hearing that our work is appreciated.
Are you ok with pets being in the home during a cleaning service?
Yes, we’re proud to be a pet-friendly company. If your pet is aggressive in any way, we recommend that you leave him or her outside or in a gated area to ensure the safety of our professional house cleaners. If you don’t plan on being home when we arrive, please let us know how to appropriately handle cleaning around your pet.
