Terms of Service
Effective Date: August 1, 2026
Welcome to Boise House Cleaning Co. By requesting, booking, or receiving services from Boise House Cleaning Co ("Company," "we," "our," or "us"), you agree to these Terms and Conditions of Service. These terms apply to all one-time, recurring, residential, and commercial cleaning services unless otherwise agreed to in writing.
1. Booking & Appointment Confirmation
Submitting a booking request does not guarantee an appointment. All appointments are subject to availability and are considered confirmed only after you receive confirmation by email, text message, or phone.
We reserve the right to decline or cancel appointments due to scheduling limitations, unsafe conditions, weather events, or other circumstances beyond our control.
2. Appointment Arrival Window
Due to traffic, previous appointments, and the nature of residential cleaning, we cannot guarantee an exact arrival time.
Appointments are scheduled within an arrival window, and our team may arrive within approximately one hour of the scheduled start time.
If we anticipate a significant delay, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you.
3. Pricing & Estimates
Instant quotes and online pricing are estimates based on the information provided during booking.
Final pricing may be adjusted if:
- The home's condition is substantially different than described.
- Additional rooms or areas require cleaning.
- Excessive buildup, pet hair, clutter, or debris requires additional labor.
- Additional services are requested during the appointment.
- The square footage or number of bathrooms differs from the original booking.
If a price adjustment is necessary, we will discuss it with you before proceeding whenever reasonably possible.
4. Payment Authorization
By scheduling service with Boise House Cleaning Co, you authorize us to securely store your payment method for future charges related to your cleaning services.
Approximately 24 hours before your scheduled appointment, we will place a pre-authorization hold on your payment method to verify available funds. This is not an actual charge and may appear as a temporary pending authorization depending on your financial institution.
Your payment method will be charged after your cleaning service has been completed unless a cancellation fee, lockout fee, or other applicable charge applies under these Terms.
If your payment method is declined, we reserve the right to cancel or postpone your appointment until payment arrangements are made.
5. Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy
We understand plans change.
More than 24 hours before your appointment
No cancellation fee.
Less than 24 hours before your appointment
Appointments canceled within 24 hours may be subject to a cancellation fee.
Same-Day Cancellations
Appointments canceled on the scheduled service day will be charged 50% of the scheduled service price.
No Access / Lockout
If our cleaning team arrives and cannot access the property within 30 minutes due to missing keys, incorrect codes, unanswered calls, locked gates, or other access issues, the appointment will be considered a same-day cancellation and 50% of the scheduled service price will be charged.
Rescheduling
Appointments rescheduled with more than 24 hours' notice are generally free of charge.
Repeated last-minute rescheduling may result in additional fees or the loss of recurring scheduling priority.

- Disclose any known hazards inside the property.
If your home has a security system, you are responsible for providing access instructions and alarm codes.
Failure to provide access may result in applicable cancellation fees.
7. Cleaning Preparation
Our pricing assumes the home is reasonably prepared for cleaning.
If excessive clutter, dishes, laundry, toys, or personal belongings significantly delay cleaning, additional charges may apply.
If requested, our cleaners may organize or tidy clutter for an additional fee when scheduling permits.

Our cleaners are carefully recruited, trained, and insured.
Customers agree not to directly hire, solicit, or contract any Boise House Cleaning Co employee or contractor introduced through our company during service or within 12 months following the last completed service.
If this occurs without written authorization, Boise House Cleaning Co may assess a placement fee of $2,500 to offset recruiting, hiring, and training expenses.
18. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Idaho law, Boise House Cleaning Co's total liability for any claim relating to our services shall not exceed the amount paid for the specific cleaning service giving rise to the claim.
Under no circumstances shall Boise House Cleaning Co be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages.

We are not responsible for delays or cancellations caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including severe weather, natural disasters, road closures, utility outages, government actions, illness, labor shortages, or other unforeseen events.
