Trust & Safety

We only have W2 employees that are trained by us. Never contractors!

All of our employees are properly vetted and have undergone background checks. Upon being hired, each maid is trained to perform detailed cleaning along with our specifications. TruCleans also has a quality control inspector that randomly inspects homes daily.

We take security seriously and have implemented multiple layers of protection.

1. Extended Validation SSL: This is the highest level of SSL certificate validation.
2. Booking Form’s 256-bit Security: A 256-bit encryption is a strong cryptographic algorithm that secures the data entered in the booking form.
3. Our payment processor – Stripe’s 256-bit Security: Stripe is a reputable payment gateway that processes credit card transactions securely. It uses its own layer of 256-bit security protocol, protecting sensitive payment data during the transaction process.
4. We only store tokens instead of actual credit card numbers is a secure approach. Tokens are random strings of characters generated by the payment processor that act as references to the actual credit card information. This means that even if a potential breach occurs, the stored tokens would be meaningless to attackers and cannot be used to perform fraudulent transactions.

You will receive a 7-day reminder and a 24-hour reminder.

We do a social security trace and employment eligibility verification. We also run an MVR and a federal criminal database search along with a local county criminal search. Once we have a great new hire selected, they go through an extensive in-house training program.

Our 100% satisfaction guarantee to you is that if something is not done to your expectations, please let us know. We’ll send a team out to re-clean and make it right. Please let us know within 24 hours of your cleaning.

Special instructions will enhance the cleaning experience you receive. However, it is very important you communicate any special instructions directly to the office so that we can place them in the permanent notes section of the teams app. This makes your notes available to any team that may clean your home in the future.

We have found that having a deep cleaning brings your home up to a certain standard. It’s a standard that we promise to maintain. We normally need extra time to properly start the process of eliminating old dirt along with dust accumulation, baseboards and detailed vacuuming and dusting. Please understand if you don’t get a deep clean we will not have the time needed to hand wipe baseboards, ceiling fans, door frames, etc.

Yes! If your dog/cat is aggressive in any way, we suggest leaving your pet crated or in a gated area to ensure the safety of our team. If you are not home during our clean, we ask that you inform our office on how to handle the pet so the team is clear when entering the home. If your pet isn’t the cleanest member of the family, please clean up after him/her prior to our arrival. Our staff will not handle pet waste, but we’ll sure give them some love!

You can help us by following these steps:


If you pick up and tidy all rooms before we arrive, we can dedicate our time to cleaning.

Hang picture frames and mirrors on sturdy wall hooks appropriate for the weight of the hanging item.

Place felt padding on the feet of furniture pieces that are on hardwood floors to avoid scratching the floor.

Please make sure we have access to the rooms we are cleaning free from distraction.

Sink, free of dirty dishes so we can clean the sink.

The time needed for cleaning can vary. Factors such as the home’s condition, home size, and number of rooms, also the size of the team we send. We base cleaning times on years of experience although some homes will take longer.
