Enhancing Your My-Neighbour Experience: Service Updates for 2025
1. Service Timing Policy (Our Shared Responsibility)
To ensure fairness for both our clients and hardworking housekeepers, we kindly request your cooperation with these timing guidelines:
Be ready for us: Please ensure the property is accessible at our scheduled start time.
Respect wrap-up time: When cleaning is complete, we appreciate you releasing our team promptly so they can:
✧ Safely travel to their next appointment
✧ Take their well-earned breaks
✧ Arrive on time for their next client
Unattended homes: If you won't be present, please provide entry instructions in advance.
Why this matters: Small delays create big ripple effects. Your consideration helps maintain quality service for everyone while protecting our team's work-life balance.
2. Preparation Guidelines (Helping Us Serve You Better)
To ensure we can provide the best service for you:
Pet safety: Please secure pets in a separate area before we arrive
Your valuables: We recommend storing personal belongings and precious items
Why this matters:
✧ Ensures everyone's safety and comfort
✧ Prevents any accidental mishaps
Note: While we take utmost care, we cannot be responsible for unsecured pets or valuables.
3. Safety First (Protecting Everyone’s Wellbeing)
To ensure a safe and transparent service experience:
Natural wear and tear:
✧ Normal cleaning processes may reveal existing imperfections
✧ We cannot be responsible for gradual material deterioration
Pre-existing conditions:
✧ Loose fixtures/tiles not disclosed
✧ Fragile items left in cleaning areas
✧ Flaking surfaces or weakened materials
Safety boundaries:
✧ Tasks requiring extreme heights
✧ Biohazard/chemical cleanup
✧ Moving permanently fixed items
Why this matters:
✓ Keep our team safe from accidental damage claims
✓ Ensure realistic expectations for all parties
Note: Our cleaning won’t accelerate proper wear and tear, but may make existing conditions more visible.
4. Cancellation Policy (Protecting Service Sustainability)
To maintain our high standards while operating responsibly:
Late Cancellation Fees:
✧ <12 hours notice: 100% service charge
✧ 12-24 hours notice: 50% service charge
Why These Fees Exist:
While our salaried housekeepers (9am-6pm) are unaffected, last-minute cancellations:
✓ Create unrecoverable operational costs
✓ Prevent other clients from booking that slot
✓ Reduce our ability to invest in service improvements
We Value Your Partnership:
Your cooperation helps us:
* M*intain stable staffing for all clients
* Keep service quality consistently high
* Continue offering competitive pricing
5. Quality Assurance (Your Happiness is Our Priority)
We're committed to your complete satisfaction. Here's how we work together to ensure perfect results every time:
For Immediate Peace of Mind:
🌸 Do a quick walkthrough with your housekeeper before they leave
🌸 Point out any areas you'd like adjusted right away
If You Notice Something Later:
We'll gladly make it right when you:
✧ Share clear photos/videos within 12 hours
✧ Contact us before midnight the same day
With Your Understanding That:
🌿 Life happens - new dust settles, new messes occur
🌿 After 12 hours, we can't distinguish new from existing
🌿 Our team wants to fix any real oversights promptly
Our Guarantee to You:
For any legitimate concerns reported properly:
✓ We'll return to correct it immediately
✓ Or add complimentary time to your next cleaning
