Easy, just tell us how the maids can gain entry in the special instructions when you make your booking. Most customers leave a key under the mat, in a lock box, or provide a code for the garage door so that we can get in and out of their home for the service when they are not home. Our teams are very trustworthy and will be sure to lock up afterwards.

Policies
Rain City Maids has a cleaning checklist that your cleaning professional will follow. You can leave additional notes in your account after checkout, by contacting us, or by providing instructions during your cleaning.
The following extra services are available if selected at checkout: inside the fridge, inside the oven, inside windows, deep cleaning, inside cabinets and detail cleaning blinds.
Please check out our checklist for more information.
Please check out our checklist for more information about what items are in scope and what items are not offered by our service.
Some discounts are for first time customers only and some are for recurring customers only. In addition, some discounts are only one-time, and will not work for future service. There might be a couple reasons why a specific discount code no longer works. Please contact us if you have any questions.
We want to offer our clients a service that fits their situation. We have a flexible hourly service option that will allow you to decide how much you would like us to clean. If you need help coming up with an estimate for your needs, please contact us.
Yes, if you would like a move-out cleaning, please choose the deep cleaning option, plus any additional services such as inside cabinets, inside windows, etc. that you would like included in the service.
Standard cleaning is meant for a home that has been regularly maintained. A deep cleaning adds more time to the booking to focus on those areas that have not been regularly maintained such as wiping baseboards, fronts of cabinets/drawers in the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room, wiping the door frames and handles, light switches, and extra attention to showers/tubs.
Please check out our Checklist for more information.
While leaving a tip for your cleaners is not mandatory, you are always welcome to leave them a tip for a job well done. There are several ways you can leave a tip for your cleaners:
(1) you can leave them cash at the cleaning, or
(2) you can log into your account and apply a tip to the booking, or
(3) you can contact us through email, chat or phone after the cleaning and ask us to apply a tip to your credit card. We will make sure it gets to your cleaners for you!
We make every effort to send the same team every time. If one of our team members is sick or on vacation we will be sure to send a substitute team member or team so that you will receive continued service. You can also request a specific team member or team in the note and we will do our best to honor your request.
