Policies & Terms of Services
What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
At Long Island Maids, we require a minimum of 24 hours' notice for any changes to your scheduled cleaning. Changes made with less than 24 hours' notice will incur an $80 fee. It's important to cancel or reschedule your booking outside of the 24-hour window to avoid this charge. Please note that all rescheduling and cancellations must be done through the Long Island Maids dashboard; we cannot accept changes via email.
In cases where a cancellation or rescheduling occurs within 3 hours of the scheduled start time, a charge equivalent to 3 hours of cleaning will be applied. This fee compensates our cleaners, who may not be able to secure alternative work on such short notice.
If a cleaning session is not canceled and our cleaner arrives but cannot gain access to your property (e.g., no authorization provided to a front desk), the full cost of the cleaning will be charged. We emphasize the importance of managing your bookings through our dashboard to ensure clear communication and efficient service.
