Regular cleaning services in Auckland

Arrival Time: Our Cleaning services operate between 9 AM- 6 PM on any scheduled day. Given that each home that we clean varies in the amount of time it takes to clean, there is no guarantee of an exact arrival/departure time. If you have requested a time slot, we will bid to be available within that time slot. If we are fully booked, an email would be sent to you with details of our next available booking.

Service area: We offer our services within a 15KM radius of Auckland CBD. If the clients’ residence is outside the 15KM radius, then we may serve the client for a call-out fee depending on the distance. Please check the Snap Cleaning website for more details.

Parking: Parking is the clients’ responsibility. Where parking is not available, the costs incurred by parking will be paid by the client.

Home Access: Prior arrangements of how to access the client’s home would be discussed before our first service. Clients generally provide a copy of their house key(s) for the Company, which alleviates the need for the client to remember to leave out a hide-a-key or having to wait around to let us in each visit. Clients keys are labelled with a secure company code to prevent private information from falling into the wrong hands. Clients can be assured of safety as all of our Tech employees have had thorough criminal background checks before being hired into the Company. Keys will be returned if there is a cancellation of service.

Cleaning preparations: SNAP Cleaning apprises the client to not clean before we arrive, but do pick up as much as possible in areas you would like us to clean. This will allow us to focus more on detail and quality for you.

Pets: We at Snap Cleaning Limited are animal lovers, but we admonish clients to secure their pets either outside the house or any preferable location of their choosing. This is to avoid hindrances when we work. Also, we do not clean up after sick pets or pet accidents.

SNAP Happiness Guarantee – Complaints

A client will be covered under the SNAP Happiness Guarantee for a Professional Cleaning Service, subject to the below, provided:

• The Professional Service is paid for in full through our Platform with no outstanding balances owed to SNAP Cleaning.
• The Client has not violated this Agreement;
• The Client has reported the issue within 24 hours of completion of the service.
• The Client has accounted for and secured all valuables prior to the start of a cleaning Service 

We required client to check our cleaning work when we about to finish. This gives us an opportunity to fix any issue on the spot. If client is not available to check the work and If the client is not satisfied after our cleaning services, he/she/they must notify SNAP Cleaning Services Limited within 24 hours of completion of the service. SNAP Cleaning will resolve the issue by offering a free second visit. If a complaint is lodged after 24 hours of completion of service, we will not take responsibility for any complaints from you, including but not limited to damage of property and/or unsatisfactory Cleaning. 

Any complaint must be reported within 24 hours of completion of service by email to us at support@snapcleaning.co.nz. Please do note that SNAP Cleaning does not take complaints about the phone. 

Free Second Visit Terms: 

1. Free second visits will not be provided for hourly cleaning service. 

2. The Client must remain on-site while the SNAP Cleaning team is there for the second visit. Any concerns should be raised with the cleaning team so that they can be fixed while we are there. 

3. If the client is unable to attend the second cleaning visit and later they consider it to be an unsatisfactory service, SNAP Cleaning will not provide a refund or another free visit. After the second visit, we will charge an hourly rate of $45 per cleaner per hour plus GST. (Minimum booking of 2 hours). 

Breakage: SNAP Cleaning takes responsibility for our employees and their actions. Our policies are designed to help manage and minimize risks, but breakage is bound to happen sometimes. We will review any unresolved incident to ensure the fairest solution(s) possible. We value our clients and, as such, strive to resolve any incident(s) to your satisfaction.  

Sometimes breakage occurs when there are booby traps. Those are accidents waiting to happen. We are often handling things that aren’t normally touched i.e. pictures not hung securely, top-heavy items with unstable bases, or unsafe and tippy objects. Each incident is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. We cannot take responsibility for booby traps. Please remove unstable breakables to a place we do not clean(we do not clean inside curios, china cabinets, or clear wet bar shelves). 

When breakage occurs, 

1. We will pay up to $100 per breakage item when the value is verifiable. If the damage is valued at more than $100, a Liability Insurance Claim and Investigation will need to be opened through our insurance carrier. 

2. In some cases, we will have the broken item repaired by a professional restoration company. Breakage values over $25 must be verified before replacement, or reimbursement will be authorized. Please save the broken item for our inspection. Breakage must be reported within 24 hours of our visit.
