Booking and pricing

How is my price determined?

Your price is based on your home's square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the type of clean, how often you book, and any add-ons. Recurring cleans save 10% every 4 weeks, 15% every 2 weeks, or 20% weekly, starting with your second visit (the first visit is the regular price). Not sure of your square footage? Give your best estimate and everything is confirmed before your first clean, so there are no surprises.

Do I need to provide supplies or equipment?

No. Your pro brings all the professional-grade products, supplies and equipment, including the vacuum. Supplies are always included in your price.

What payment methods do you accept, and when am I charged?

All major credit and debit cards. You save a card when you book online, and it is charged only after your clean is complete. Questions about payment? Call (312) 836-4396.

Can I manage my bookings online?

Yes. Every client gets a personal portal at dashboard.grovewellcleaning.com to view, reschedule, and manage cleanings. Changes made 48 or more hours before your arrival window are always free.

Can I switch to a recurring plan later?

Anytime. Switch from your client portal or give us a call. Recurring plans save 20% weekly, 15% every 2 weeks, and 10% every 4 weeks, starting with the second visit of your plan.

What is your cancellation and rescheduling policy?

Reschedule or cancel with at least 48 hours' notice at no charge. With less than 48 hours' notice but before the day of your appointment, the fee is 50% of the appointment cost. Same-day cancellations, or if your pro can't access your home, are charged in full.

Your cleaning visit

Do I need to be home for the cleaning?

It's up to you. If you won't be home, share how to access your home, such as a door code, lockbox or key. If you'd rather be there, you're welcome to stay.

What time will my cleaner arrive?

You pick an arrival time when you book. The 9:00 AM booking is the first arrival of the day. Later bookings have a 2-hour arrival window: 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, or 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. If your pro is running behind, you will be told.

How many cleaners will come to my home?

Usually one or two, depending on the size of your home and the type of clean. On a recurring schedule, you get a dedicated home pro whenever possible.

How do I prepare for my cleaning appointment?

Reduce clutter so your pro can reach the surfaces that need cleaning, and clear items off the floors where possible. For everyone's safety, keep children and pets out of the immediate work area.

Are you pet friendly?

Yes. If you won't be home, share how to handle your pet and whether they tend to slip out when doors open. If your pet is nervous with strangers, please keep them in a separate room or crate during the clean.

Trust and quality

Are your cleaners background-checked and insured?

Yes. Every pro who works with Grovewell passes a criminal background check, provides references and has significant residential cleaning experience. Pros carry general liability insurance, and Grovewell Cleaning LLC is insured too.

What if I'm not happy with my clean?

Before your pro leaves, we check in with you to make sure everything looks right, so anything missed gets fixed on the spot. If something still isn't right after your clean, call or text (312) 836-4396 and we'll work with you to make it right.

Will I have a dedicated home pro?

On a recurring schedule, you are matched with a dedicated home pro whenever possible, so they get to know your home and your preferences.

What's included, and what isn't

Is there anything you don't clean?

For safety and quality, pros don't clean inside fireplaces, pick up clutter or toys, shampoo carpets, clean heavy mold, lift items over 30 pounds, reach above a 2-foot step stool or exterior windows above ground level, or handle bodily fluids, pet messes, infestations or fire damage. Laundry, dishes, organizing, patios or balconies, garage sweeps and basements are available as add-ons.

Everything else

What areas do you serve?

Chicago and the greater Chicagoland area. Not sure if you are covered? Call (312) 836-4396.

Do you have a referral program?

Yes. Give $30, Get $30: when a friend books their first clean and mentions your name, they get $30 off their first clean and you get $30 off your next clean.

Do you speak Spanish?

Sí. Se habla español. The team can help you in English or Spanish.
