TEAM
Any attempt to solicit our cleaning professionals for outside employment violates our agreement and terms of service.

They are prohibited from soliciting business from any customer during or following their work with Dirty Water Cleaning Co.
LIMITATIONS
Our cleaners are limited in the work they are able to do.
They cannot lift anything over 25 lbs. Small tables can be moved and cleaned under, but if a piece of furniture is of substantial weight or contains electronics or other fragile items, it will not be moved.
Our cleaners are also limited to climbing no higher than a step ladder. Ceiling fans and other items that cannot be reached with a stick duster while standing on a small step ladder will not be cleaned.
DAMAGES
We work hard to make sure no damage occurs during your cleanings, but accidents do happen. Our cleaners are instructed to let us know immediately if damage to any item occurs during cleaning. We will then notify you immediately to discuss the appropriate steps. Dirty Water Cleaning Co. reserves the right to repair or replace items before settling monetarily. If you notice anything in your property that is damaged and you have not heard from us, notify us within 24 hours of service.
Dirty Water Cleaning Co. is not responsible for items that have been improperly installed or for items that fall under normal cleaning. All surfaces, including flooring, tile, marble, granite, etc., are assumed to be properly sealed and able to be cleaned with a solution that is appropriate for that particular material.
INSURANCE
Dirty Water Cleaning Co. carries insurance to protect both the company and our customers in the event of any accidental damages or losses that may occur during the cleaning process. This insurance covers damages to the customer's property or personal belongings, as well as any injuries sustained by our cleaners while on the job. Our insurance policy is valid and up-to-date, and we are happy to provide proof of coverage upon request.
