We cannot take responsibility for items that were broken because they were not properly attached or secured (for example, a hanging picture that was improperly attached to the wall or an item that is propped against a surface).

Oven, Refrigerator, and other Add-On Cleanings

We use a special de-greasing cleaner to take on areas such as the fridge and the oven. As we wipe down these areas, the doors are open and we try our best to ensure none of our product drips. We cannot ensure the cleaner will not drip on surrounding areas, such as floors or cabinets, and we do not assume responsibility for these areas if they are damaged after our departure. 

Glass Shower Door(s)
You are responsible for notifying us if your glass shower door(s) are NOT 100% secure. However, the team that arrives to service you will inspect your shower door(s) to ensure that they are fully secure prior to service of the shower. If upon inspection the team recognizes that your shower door(s) are not fully secure you will be notified of the risks immediately. At that time, you have the option to decline service of your shower and/or shower door(s) or we can proceed with service. If the client decides to proceed with service of the shower and/or shower door(s) pictures of your shower door(s) will be taken prior to the start of servicing the shower doors(s). Additionally, the client agrees not to hold Wichita Maid Service Corp. nor its employees responsible if this results in the shower door being damaged/broken. Wichita Maid Service Corp. is not responsible for damage due to faulty and/or improper installation of any item.

Extra Services
If you require extra services or additional cleaning on your scheduled cleaning day, please contact us 24 hours in advance so we may allow the extra time needed at your home and we can give you a quote for the additional services.

Lifting & Climbing & Bending
Our employees are very important to us, and we are determined to keep them safe, so they do not climb higher than a 3ft 2-step ladder, move or lift items heavier than 20 lbs., or clean floors on their hands and knees (with the exception of bathroom floors).  These types of activities put our cleaning staff in danger of back injury or could even damage something in your home. However, there might be times when you want us to move furniture for example; tables, large chairs, etc. In these cases we are not responsible for: their breakage due to aged/old or faulty manufacturing nor are we responsible for any damage moving these items may cause to your floor. The cleaning team will not move furniture that contain electronics. The cleaning team will not pull out any appliances (for example a stove, fridge, washer/dryer) however, if moved prior to the cleaning visit to allow access, we would be more than happy to clean the exposed areas. We do ask that you place the appliances back into its proper place as well.
