TERMS & CONDITIONS RELATING TO PROVISION OF SERVICES
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE OF OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS PRIOR TO USING OUR SERVICES.

If you are not delighted with our service or the cleaning of your carpet or upholstery etc., simply tell us within 48hrs of job completion. We will reattend and re-clean, at no cost to you. No questions asked. We want happy clients!

Pricing

All quotes given by phone are subject to change on job inspection. Phone quotes are an estimate only & are based on average-sized rooms, couch seat size, etc. Unless advised by the client, the price given will be for our standard clean service.

For carpet cleaning, we charge by the m2. The area to be cleaned will be measured & the price confirmed before we commence a job. Please note, we charge for the whole room to be cleaned even if some areas are inaccessible due to furniture. This is because furnished rooms take longer to clean.

Where there are stains we will need to confirm the price & likelihood of complete removal on inspection. Some stains require more than one go at cleaning. Our prices are subject to change if the carpet or the area requiring cleaning necessitates more work. We will determine this upon inspection.

Payment

Payment is required on job completion unless otherwise agreed. This can be via EFT, Credit Card or cash to the technician. All payments made with a Visa or Mastercard will incur a 1.5% and transaction fee (2% for American Express).

In the situation where we do not receive payment by the agreed payment deadline, the Squeaky Clean Team may charge an additional Administration Fee. This will include all costs relating to debt recovery.

We reserve the right to request a deposit of up to 50% for water damage restoration works undertaken. This also acts as security bond for the drying equipment required at your property.

Equipment Loaned To Client

Equipment loaned by the company for completion of the job remains the property of the Squeaky Clean Team at all times and must be looked after & returned on completion of the job. The client will be liable for the repair and or replacement cost of any equipment damaged or lost whilst on loan to them. All equipment is regularly tagged & tested.

Cancellation Fees & Surcharges

It’s possible for our customers to reschedule an appointment via email, or phone call.

If a customer needs to cancel or re-schedule, we ask that a minimum 24-hour notice be provided. Cancellation within 3 hours of a scheduled booking will incur our minimum call-out fee. This is currently $100.00.

The customer is responsible for making sure parking is available for our technicians. If there is a parking charge, we will pass this onto the customer. An additional surcharge may be charged if no parking is available nearby causing additional labour & time to access the job. An apartment surcharge may also apply for difficult access within apartment buildings.

Access To Complete Job

We must be granted access to the property to provide our services. If the customer is unable to be present during the appointment, they must provide us with keys for access. If prearranged with us, we are happy to collect keys locally for a small additional fee. Electricity and running water must be available at the property for services to be performed. By prior arrangement, we can supply our truck-mounted equipment to complete a job with no power. Our minimum carpet cleaning unit rate is $5.50/m2 to cover the additional running costs of this equipment. Please note the truck mount is only available where there is direct access to the property. The truck mount van cannot be parked on nature strips etc.

PLEASE NOTE Customers should safely put away all valuable items while we’re providing our services. They should also ensure that there is a clear area for us to work in with no potential hazards to cause tripping etc. by our technicians.

Claims & Complaints

We ask that clients confirm with the technician they’re satisfied on the completion of a job. Should any concerns or issues arise with the workmanship, they must be notified to our office within 48 hours of job completion.

We will not consider any refund claims after services have been performed and we have left the property.

Stain Removal

The first step in stain removal is the most important one, please contact one of our helpful team for sound advice before attempting any home stain removal remedies. It is very easy to ‘set’ stains. And remember, everything you read on the internet isn’t always true.

Squeaky Clean Team cannot guarantee that all stains will be removed upon cleaning. Stains derived from caustics, acids, and permanent dyes may be permanent stains that cannot be removed. Further, Squeaky Clean Team cannot be responsible for any pre-existing condition that is not apparent upon visual inspection. This concerns existing stains that may wick up the carpet when we steam clean. It also concerns urine odours which are embedded in carpet underlay.

If there has been a pet accident, we will recommend an antimicrobial wash to remove the urine smell or other odour. However, please be aware that the severity of the odour, the age and the diet of the pet, will determine the outcome. We do have several different processes to remove pet odours and we will be working hard to remove this odour, often we may need to treat the carpet or rug several times and this will be advised to you at the commencement of the service.

The customer must allow us to re-inspect or re-clean any inadequate work prior to arranging for a third party to provide services.

If it’s proven that we’ve caused any damage and we’re told within 48 hours, we will attempt to fix the issue. If we are not able to repair the item, we will provide compensation equal to the item’s monetary value. At our discretion an insurance claim may be lodged by us with regards to a client’s damaged property.

We recommend that customers avoid placing furniture on wet or damp carpets. Squeaky Clean Team will not be held responsible if any damage is caused by this (eg. from metal or wooden furniture legs.

We will not be held liable if existing damage cannot be cleaned or repaired by our staff. We recommend to our staff that they take photos of pre-existing damage to have on record with the job.

Please note, our company is fully insured for your peace of mind.

Special Offer Conditions

Any promotional offers cannot be combined with other offers or discounts. Promotional offers do not apply for minimum charges.
