Are your cleaners insured and bonded?

All of the staff members at Nook & Cranny are insured and bonded. We maintain liability insurance, workers compensation and are OH&S compliant (occupational health and safety compliant). Our cleaning technicians must provide a current police clearance and they also undergo extensive background checks. This provides you with the peace of mind you deserve when trusting us with your home.

Do I have to sign a contract?

Nook & Cranny does not believe in any contractual obligations for our residential clients. If for whatever reason you need to terminate our services we simply ask that you provide us with 2 weeks’ notice so that we are able to replace your spot with someone on our waiting list.

Nook & Cranny will bring all supplies and equipment necessary to do our job. Our clients provide the cleaning products they prefer us to use in their environment.

Commercial: Payments are once a month, payable by cheque.

What time can I expect the team to arrive at my home?

Our business hours are Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., although these hours may be adjusted slightly to meet your individual needs. While it is not always possible to give you an exact time of arrival (due to unforeseen delays) we will do our best to maintain consistency.

What if my cleaning day falls on a holiday?

If your cleaning day falls on a statutory holiday we will contact you in advance and reschedule.

Do I need to do anything before the cleaners arrive?
