What are your Covid-19 safety guidelines?

1. Health First – We ask that you please refrain from scheduling an appointment if you are under the weather or are experiencing known Covid-19 symptoms like fever or chills, cough, difficulty breathing, tiredness, muscle soreness, headache, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, nasal congestion, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhea.
2. Maintain Social Distance/Sanitize Your Hands – We recommend you are not in your home at the time of the cleaning. If that is not possible, we ask that you wash your hands and wear a mask during the duration of the cleaning, as well as observe at least 6 feet of distance. In addition, we recommend that you open your windows while the cleaning is taking place.
3. Masks required – Our members are responsible for wearing a mask at all times during service. If you notice they are not adhering to this guideline, please remind the member they should wear their mask. Please also let our office know if this is your experience
4. Changes to appointments – While it is our goal to be able to provide you with a safe, timely cleaning, please note that even if you’ve confirmed service should the provider report experiencing any symptom, we will do our best to find a replacement. If we are unable to do so, and with the safety of your household in mind, we will cancel the appointment.
5. Covid-19 Oriented Disinfection – At the time of booking, we will make available to you a list of recommended disinfecting products should you wish to have the member disinfect your home. Please note this will be done once the home has been cleaned. This is a suggested list—remember members will also use any product you prefer and already have in your home.

How long will the cleaning take?

There is no estimated average length for a cleaning, as all homes are different. Si Se Puede does not work on an hourly basis, and we give ourselves enough time to do a very thorough cleaning. When booking your first cleaning, please keep in mind that it might take at least several hours for service to be complete.

May I leave my home during the cleaning?

We recommend that you meet the cleaner at the beginning of service so that you can show them your home, where you keep your supplies, and give any special instructions. Unless you wish to, it’s not necessary to remain for the duration of the cleaning. Please keep in mind our Covid-19 safety recommendations.
