CONDUCT: Our cleaners will be respectful while in your home.

EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES: We provide our own cleaning supplies and equipment including vacuums, mops, and cleaning products. If you have a specific product you would like us to use, please call our office prior to your service date.

This is to ensure the safety of other customers, as well as our teams. Vacuum cleaners can carry danders and other materials which some customers may be allergic to. Therefore, Tidy Bird Cleaning Co. Inc may require customers to provide our teams with a working vacuum cleaner.
ARRIVAL TIME: Your scheduled cleaning time has an arrival window of +/- 1-hour. This allows our cleaners to get through traffic, and any other delays they may experience when fulfilling your request for service. Any delays beyond this will be communicated with our clients prior to service.
SCHEDULING: Scheduling changes can result in the following:
