Our Cancellation Policy

At Mopheads Cleaning Agents, we pride ourselves on maintaining strong communication with our clients, so most of our communication is done in writing /email for your reference and peace of mind.

If you make a one-off booking with us, your booking is confirmed as soon as you receive a booking confirmation email from us. If you have a regular, ongoing booking with us (for example a weekly or fortnightly clean) your booking is automatically confirmed for the same day and timeframe each week or fortnight.

There are no lock-in contracts with our services, however, we do require a minimum of 24 hours notice to cancel, reschedule or suspend a clean. This can be done by phone call, email or sms to 0412 763 32.

As our cleaning staff don’t have to arrange the rosters or have access to our booking schedule, we strongly advise you to contact us directly about cancellations rather than only telling your cleaners. For your peace of mind, we confirm all cancellations in writing, by either SMS or email.

For cancellations (or reschedule requests) with less than 24hrs notice given, a cancellation fee applies. Without adequate notice, we do not have the opportunity to fill a cancelled timeslot with another booking, and last-minute changes to our rosters are difficult to arrange. This cancellation fee is equal to one (1) hour of cleaning and is used to compensate staff for their loss of income.

 

Lock-outs

If we arrive for a scheduled booking but are unable to gain access to the property, eg. if you forget to leave out a key for us or if no one is home as arranged, we will always attempt to contact you first to see if there is an alternative way we can gain access or if someone could return to the property to let us in. Any time we spend waiting for access is billed as part of the clean. If we are not able to get in contact with you within a reasonable amount of time or access is not possible, there is also a call-out fee in addition to late cancellation fee. Lock-out fees (ie. cancellation + callout fee) are equal to two (2) hours of cleaning and is used to compensate staff for their travel expenses and waiting time, as well as the loss of income.

To prevent either of these situations from occurring, we urge all clients to save the date(s) of their bookings into their diaries and to have a reminder system in place to advise us with adequate notice in the event that an upcoming clean needs to be cancelled or rescheduled. If you are in doubt about when your next scheduled booking is, feel free to contact us and we will confirm this with you.

 

 

Bond Cleans

When you book a bond clean, your booking is confirmed as soon as you receive a booking confirmation email from us. Payment is required prior to the booking day.

If we arrive for a scheduled booking but are unable to gain access to the property, eg. if you forget to leave out a key for us or if no one is home as arranged, we will always attempt to contact you first to see if there is an alternative way we can gain access or if someone could return to the property to let us in.

If we are not able to get in contact with you within a reasonable amount of time or access is not possible, there is also a call-out fee in addition to late cancellation fee. Lock-out fees are $175 and are used to compensate staff for their travel expenses and waiting time, as well as the loss of income.

For cancellations with less than 24hrs notice given, a cancellation fee applies  Without adequate notice, we do not have the opportunity to fill a cancelled timeslot with another booking, and last-minute changes to our rosters are difficult to arrange. This cancellation fee is equal to $175 plus $55, if carpet cleaning was booked, and is used to compensate staff for their loss of income.
