Employee FAQs

Integrity Cleaning Specialists is passionate about ensuring that all cleaning technicians have gone through appropriate screening. We have a six-point employee quality check model.

  • Thorough resume review
  • Phone interview
  • In-person interview
  • Required reference checking
  • Background check which includes a thorough national, state, and local inspection of their record. As well as the sex offender registry, motor vehicle report, and global watch list!
  • 90 day probationary period with intensive, hands-on, detailed training!

As Integrity Cleaning Specialists grows, we are adding more and more training opportunities to our curriculum. Training is an ongoing process, but we take pride in our knowledgeable technicians!

Consistency is SO important. The same team lead will be assigned to a home. This will ensure that a leader will know the home very well, provide consistent instruction to all team members, expectation is set, and accountability is in place!

Communication is the center of our culture! If there is anything we can improve, do better, or change to better suit your needs, just ask! Whether it is sending a different team member, changing how we service your home, or changing your service dates!

When we come for a free consultation, we always ask questions like “are there any fragile/breakable items that we should avoid cleaning near or around?” One of our favorite sayings is “an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure!” We always ask that we be warned ahead of time if there are any fragile, generational items in the home. Either put them away while we are at your home, or instruct us to completely avoid the object! We are very conscientious and careful, but we want to prevent accidents from happening!

However, accidents can happen, and Integrity Cleaning Specialists takes pride in being honest and forthright. Anytime that something is amiss, we will always communicate with you and correct the problem. We have liability insurance to cover any damages, or will reimburse/replace an item ourselves! We have never had to file a damage claim, but we are prepared!

The Integrity Cleaning Specialists team has been carefully and selectively chosen. The likelihood of this taking place is very minimal! However, should this situation arise, please communicate with management concerning this matter.

No, children or pets of employees are not allowed on work sites! Professionalism is a requirement, and prioritizing and focusing on your home while we clean is the best example of professionalism we can think of!

Payment FAQs

Yes! We offer a 10% off discount for families who have served in our military! Thank you for your service!

Yes, we take pride in providing our team members with fair compensation. Cleaning is a very physically demanding job, requires attention to detail, and great care – we want our team members to be happy with their earnings! On top of their competitive rate of pay, they also receive 100% of the tips you send!

Integrity Cleaning Specialists offers a referral program. For every referral, you receive 10% off your chosen clean. Some clients like to hold onto their 10% until it’s time for a deep clean to maximize savings. You can stack these discounts as well! So if you recommend three clients and they book service, that’s 30% off you can use!

Also, for every referral that your referral sends our way, that’s an additional 5% off of your service! It’s the gift that keeps giving!

Tips are encouraged and greatly appreciated! Feedback and tips tell our teams that we are meeting and exceeding your expectations!

Yes. We send an email confirmation three days prior to service, a text confirmation one day prior to service, and an “on the way” message. If the client has not made any attempts to contact us, and we are unable to access the property, a 50% fee will be charged.

In order to discourage last minute cancellations, we implement a 50% cancellation fee. However, we understand that life happens! If you are experiencing a true emergency, please reach out to us and we will waive the fee!

All earnings are reported and handled legally and appropriately!

Cash, check, credit cards, or Venmo can all be used to pay for your clean!

Payment is due once service is completed. If the check is not on site, please arrange with management to pay via invoice or Venmo!

Please reach out within 48 hours of service to report any flaws. Please supply details and photos if possible! We want to ensure it is documented so we can use it as a training tool! We will come back to correct the errors! If complaints are received after 48 hours of service or are missing details/photos, we cannot honor the warranty on our work

If we are charged a returned check fee as a result, that will be added onto the bill and we will request that you pay with another form of payment!

Household Policies FAQs

Absolutely! As long as this pet is friendly and eventually settles down so we can perform our duties effectively!

This is different from home to home, and is purely based on preference! We accept keys, codes, lock box instructions, or being let in for your cleaning appointment! We will ask your preferences during our consultation to figure out what best suits your household!

Having integrity means more than just being honest and upholding high quality standards, it means that we prioritize the privacy and dignity of you, your family, and your home. We will never disclose health concerns, hardships, personal information, engage in neighborhood gossip, or jeopardize your reputation. Your family privacy is safe with Integrity Cleaning Specialists.
