Our Staff Trustworthiness

Are your cleaners bonded, insured, and background-checked?

Yes! We are fully bonded and insured, and we conduct thorough background checks on every team member we work with. This ensures your safety and peace of mind—one of the key advantages of choosing Blanca Sparkle & Shine over independent cleaners who may not follow these precautions.

Do I have to be home when the cleaners arrive?

 Most clients prefer to be present for the initial cleaning to provide any specific instructions, but it’s not required. You can let our cleaning technicians in, give them directions, and leave, or even provide us with a key for future cleanings. Our team is highly professional and trustworthy, so you can feel completely safe with us. If you prefer not to leave a key, we’re happy to make special accommodations.

Preparation For You Cleaning

 Please remove toys, clothes, shoes, or other personal belongings from the floor prior to the arrival of our cleaning technicians. This helps us provide a thorough cleaning and avoids delays.

Insurance Policy Restrictions

Our cleaning crew is not permitted to clean behind or under large objects or appliances (such as beds, refrigerators, washers, dryers, etc.) unless these are moved prior to their arrival.

2. Items left in place will not be cleaned behind.


Do I need to do a walk-through before and after the cleaning?

A: Yes, a walk-through is required both before and after the cleaning. This allows us to understand your expectations beforehand and ensure you’re satisfied with the results. Please note that we are unable to offer same-day re-cleaning, so the final walk-through helps address any concerns immediately.

What is your cancellation policy?

We understand that plans can change. If you need to cancel or reschedule, we kindly ask for at least 48 hours’ notice. Cancellations made within less than 48 hours may be subject to a cancellation fee. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation

Non-Solicitation of Employees

To maintain a positive and professional relationship, we kindly ask that clients refrain from directly hiring or soliciting our cleaning technicians or staff. This policy ensures that we can continue providing consistent, high-quality service. We appreciate your understanding and support!

 Do you clean around heavy furniture or objects?

For safety reasons, we are unable to move heavy furniture or objects. However, our team will clean around these items to ensure the rest of your space is thoroughly cleaned. If you would like to rearrange heavy items, please let us know in advance, and we can accommodate where possible.
