Here are some of the frequently asked questions by our customers and clients.

We also offer and provide our services in Torrance, Redondo Beach, Palos Verdes, Manhattan Beach, and Hermosa Beach.

Yes. You can rest assured that our company is licensed, bonded, and insured. We guarantee you that you’ll have peace of mind when you decide to hire us. We will take the risk and be responsible should something happen in the confines of your home while we are doing our job.
Since our experience has taught us that not every home or business is the same, we made sure that we priced each home or business while taking into consideration a variety of factors. We also offer in-person estimates when necessary. For a rough estimate, give us a call at 818-646-6243.
As for this question, we are doing our best to consider all the needs and requirements of our customers and clients. We will let you know if we decide to provide any guarantees for our quality and reliable services.
We believe that if you are not happy with our performance, you have every right to seek a better service provider. That is why we don’t have any term contracts, you are free to change your relationship status with 818 Maids at your discretion. We only ask that you provide us with at least 48 hours of cancellation notice to avoid a cancellation fee.
Yes, we do use green and eco-friendly products. However, we will tailor our products to suit your needs and comfort level. Feel free to communicate any special requirements at the time of booking.
We provide complimentary estimates over the phone and where warranted we may conduct an in-person site visit in order to understand your requirements.
Yes. We bring absolutely everything we need to clean your home properly. You don’t have to provide anything. However, we do have some clients that ask us to use their own specific products, which is fine as long as they are safe to use and legal too (you’ll be surprised).
Yes. We are more than happy to use your cleaning supplies and equipment. However, we will not be responsible for any failure in equipment and any harm any of your supplies may cause. Our supplies are designed to prevent any damage or harm in addition they are efficient and perform in the harshest environments.
Nope, you don’t need to be there. Most of our clients lead busy lives and are at work during the day. We therefore offer a free key holding service for most of our clients.
Our keys are kept in a secure key safe and can only be accessed by our owners or senior staff members. The key cabinet also is alarmed and has camera facing it, so we can see who has accessed the cabinet. The keys are also coded and entered into a separate encrypted system, so your address does not appear anywhere on the key tag. These are dropped in a key drop at our office each day.
But we do more than just clean homes and businesses—we give you back the time you deserve and crave, so that you can focus on what matters most in life. We have years of experience in looking after clients’ needs in the service industry. Which is why our professional residential cleaning services are unrivaled and deliver worry-free results every time.
We carry out hundreds of different cleans for clients in the area each month, so our teams fully understand the importance of earning and keeping your trust, which is why we employ only the very best cleaners who have a good reputation and pass our thorough criminal background checks and drug screening tests.
From there, they carry out detailed training through our own Speed Cleaning Program and then shadow our most experienced housecleaners. To pass this program, they must achieve a minimum pass rate of 92%. In having this detailed hiring and training process, we know our teams of maids can clean your home thoroughly and efficiently whilst respecting your home and your time.
A labor hour is 1 cleaner for 1 hour. Our cleaning crews typically work in teams of 2 or 3. For Example if we estimated that your cleaning service will take 6 labor hours, a team of 2 would be cleaning for 3 hours while a team of 2 would be cleaning for 3 hours. The theory is that larger the crew size the quicker the job will be completed all things being equal.
We can invoice any customer if we have a pre-existing relationship and we have a credit card on file. We typically offer net 30 terms. However, many customers put a credit card on file and we charge it the day of the cleaning service.
