To the extent permitted by law, you are not entitled to any loss for any incident if it is not reported to us in writing within 24 hours of completion of the service.

5. Clean Ecology has Work Health and Safety procedures in place to protect our cleaners.  As a customer, you are responsible to provide a safe and healthy work environment at the premises on the day of service. Our cleaners are instructed to not to enter an environment if it is unsafe. Our cleaners are instructed not to climb or stand on ladders, stools, or any other objects. However, they may use two bottom rung step leaders as long it is safe to do so.  If you require additional tasks e.g., cleaning behind, under and sides of fridges, washing machines, couches, or any other heavy items; you will need to arrange for moving items prior to cleaning.  Clean Ecology will not be held responsible for damage to floors, including polished timber floors caused by the moving of furniture for the purpose of cleaning.  You will also need to advise us of any known hazards, slippery surfaces, risks, or dangers at the premises prior to the service.  If our cleaners are unable to clean some or all parts of your home due to this, we will let you know.  You may not be eligible for a refund in the event you fail to provide a safe working environment for our cleaner.

6. A fee may be applied, equivalent to 50 % of the cleaning fee, in the event of cleaner not able to gain access to the property: e.g., forgotten to leave the key, a locked gate or any other reason which might prevent our cleaner gaining access to the property.  A 24-hour notice of cancellation of service is required; otherwise, the same fee may be charged.

While we make every effort to accommodate your chosen time, in the event we are unable to provide the service at the time chosen in the online booking form for any reason, we will provide 24 hours’ notice and offer to schedule at a time mutually agreed between you and Clean Ecology.  In the event we do not arrive within 30 minutes of your scheduled service time on the day of your service without prior communications, we will arrange a refund of any payments made and offer to reschedule the cleaning service at a time mutually agreed between you and Clean Ecology.

Our Fair Go policy states that when cleaning takes longer than our estimate expects, we will clean for up to 1 hour longer than our estimated time, but if a property requires more time to clean to our high standard, then extra fees may apply.
