Terms of Service

Terms and Conditions of Service

By booking online with Purely Fort Wayne Cleaners, you agree to comply with and be bound by the following Terms and Conditions of Service.

Booking, Confirmation, and Appointment Details

Service Request

When you request our services, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions specified herein.

Confirmation

Booking a service does not guarantee an immediate spot. You will receive confirmation via email, phone call, or text once your appointment has been finalized in our system.

Appointment Arrival Window

Cleaning appointments are scheduled within an arrival window. Specific arrival times are not guaranteed due to the nature of the business.

For appointments with a 2:00–4:00 PM arrival window, we will make every effort to provide a clearer arrival estimate as the day progresses. However, unforeseen delays or the need to ensure quality at prior appointments may result in arrival closer to the end of the window. This reflects our commitment to service quality, not a lack of care.

If a delay beyond the scheduled window becomes unavoidable, we will notify you as soon as possible. While we strive to remain on schedule, slight delays may occur. We will always attempt to notify you by phone or text if we are running behind.

Residential vs. Commercial Cleaning Services

Purely Fort Wayne Cleaners provides both residential and commercial cleaning services. The scope, expectations, pricing, and results differ significantly between these service types.

Residential cleaning services are detail-oriented and focused on personal living spaces.
Commercial cleaning services are designed to maintain general cleanliness, hygiene, and presentation appropriate for offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and facilities.

By booking services, the client acknowledges that commercial cleaning is not equivalent to residential deep cleaning and does not include the same level of detail, cosmetic improvement, or surface restoration unless explicitly stated in writing.

Right to Refuse or Terminate Service

Purely Fort Wayne Cleaners reserves the right to deny or terminate service due to safety concerns, inappropriate or uncomfortable situations, weapons on the premises, disconnected utilities, severe clutter, or any condition deemed unreasonable.

For health, safety, and liability reasons, we do not provide services for:

  • Hoarder homes or facilities
  • Biohazards (feces, urine, vomit, blood, drug paraphernalia, etc.)
  • Active infestations (bugs, pests, rodents)
  • Mold remediation
  • Blinds prone to breaking
  • Exterior cleaning
  • Second-story ladder work
  • Extremely unsanitary or unsafe environments

Our cleaners may leave immediately if they feel unsafe or threatened. If service is refused on-site due to unreasonable conditions, a cancellation fee may apply, or we reserve the right to charge a fee of up to $250.

Safety and Service Limitations

To ensure safe working conditions:

  • Cleaners do not lift items over 50 lbs
  • Furniture must be moved in advance if cleaning is requested underneath or behind
  • Cleaners do not climb higher than a 6-foot step ladder
  • We do not perform work outside the home or facility
  • We do not service hoarding or biohazard environments

Surface Limitations, Wear-and-Tear, and Cleaning Expectations

General Disclaimer

Cleaning services address removable dirt and surface-level residue only. We do not guarantee restoration, perfection, or like-new results.

Cleaning may make pre-existing wear, defects, damage, or inconsistencies more noticeable. This does not constitute damage caused by our services.

Wall Spot Cleaning & Paint Limitations

Wall spot cleaning is performed on a best-effort basis only and is limited to light, surface-level marks such as minor scuffs or smudges that can be safely addressed without risk of damage.

We do not guarantee full removal of wall marks, stains, scuffs, or discoloration. Results depend on paint type, age, finish, condition, previous touch-ups, and the nature of the mark.

Our team will not attempt wall cleaning if, in our professional judgment, doing so may:

  • Damage or remove paint
  • Leave streaks, discoloration, or uneven appearance
  • Expose underlying layers or patches
  • Worsen the cosmetic outcome

In some cases, painting or repainting is the appropriate solution. Wall cleaning is not a substitute for painting, and some marks may remain.

Floors & Floor Care Limitations

Floor cleaning is limited to removal of dirt, dust, and surface debris. We do not provide restoration, refinishing, polishing, scratch removal, or repair services.

We do not guarantee removal of scratches, scuffs, etching, dullness, stains, discoloration, or wear patterns caused by age, moisture, traffic, or improper care.

If floors have worn finishes, loose tiles, lifting planks, or compromised sealants, our team may decline certain cleaning methods to prevent further damage.

Stains & Permanent Discoloration

We do not guarantee removal of stains, dye transfer, rust, etching, chemical damage, or permanent discoloration. Some stains are permanent or require specialty restoration beyond the scope of cleaning services.

Heavy Buildup & Neglect

Services are priced based on reasonable maintenance conditions. Properties with heavy buildup, grease, soap scum, mineral deposits, pet residue, or long-term neglect may require additional time, specialized services, or multiple visits.

Complete removal of heavy or long-standing buildup is not guaranteed during a standard cleaning.

Commercial Cleaning Scope & Facility Limitations

Commercial cleaning services are intended to maintain cleanliness and sanitation in high-use environments and are not designed to correct long-term facility wear or deterioration.

We do not guarantee removal of:

  • Floor or wall wear patterns
  • Embedded stains from heavy foot traffic
  • Equipment-caused scuffs or marks
  • Industrial grease or long-term buildup

Cleaning may reveal pre-existing facility damage or wear, which does not constitute damage caused by our services.

Commercial cleaning does not include disassembly, movement, or internal cleaning of machinery, equipment, shelving systems, vents, ductwork, ceilings above drop tiles, mechanical rooms, or restricted areas unless explicitly agreed to in writing.

Residential Cleaning Clarification

Residential cleaning focuses on routine maintenance or deep cleaning as selected during booking. It does not include restoration, repair, painting, refinishing, or permanent stain removal unless specifically stated.

Fragile, Delicate, or High-Risk Items

Clients are responsible for identifying fragile, delicate, specialty, or high-risk items prior to service. This includes antiques, specialty finishes, unsealed stone, soft metals, damaged fixtures, or surfaces with loose or peeling finishes.

We reserve the right to decline cleaning any item or surface that poses a risk of damage.

Professional Judgment

All services are performed at the discretion of our trained professionals. If a requested task may cause damage or result in an undesirable outcome, our team may decline to perform the task without penalty.

Rescheduling and Cancellation Policy

A minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required to avoid fees.

  • Reschedules within 24 hours: $25 fee
  • Cancellations within 48 hours: $50 fee
  • Cancellations within 24 hours: 50% of booking price
  • Same-day cancellations: up to 100% of booking price

Failure to respond within 60 minutes of the scheduled arrival window may result in applicable cancellation or rescheduling fees.

Payment and Pricing

Payment is due on the day of service upon completion. Accepted payment methods are credit or debit card only.

Prices are based on information provided during booking and may be adjusted if the property condition differs significantly.

Heavy Duty Cleaning Fee

If excessive buildup or neglect requires additional labor, a $200 Heavy Duty Cleaning Fee per affected area may apply. Multiple fees may apply during the same visit.

Refunds and Touch-Ups

Concerns must be reported within 24 hours of service completion. Resolutions may include re-cleaning or partial refund at our discretion.

Customer Responsibilities

Clients must ensure property access. Lockouts exceeding 60 minutes result in a $50 late cancellation fee.

Clients are responsible for:

  • Security system access
  • Light preparation
  • Specialty product requests
  • Safe pet management

Breakage, Damage, and Loss Policy

Damage must be reported within 24 hours. We are not responsible for:

  • Fragile or high-value items

  • Pre-existing wear and tear
  • Poor craftsmanship
