Pricing and Payment Policies
1. Flat-Rate Pricing. We offer a simple flat-rate pricing structure that allows you to get a fair price based solely on the square footage of your home and the services you select. That’s it! The price is the price, regardless of the amount of time it takes or how many cleaners are needed. This makes it easy to schedule by phone or online and gives you a predictable upfront cost.
2. Rate Increases. We reserve the right to raise our rates as needed to adjust for costs, however we will always give our clients advance notice of any price increase.
3. Scheduling Preferences. We employ the best cleaning technicians in the Phoenix area, so when you hire Dirt Busters, you can trust that you’ll get a great clean every time. While we cannot guarantee the availability of a specific cleaning technician or precise arrival window in advance, we will always notify you of our estimated arrival time the business day prior to your cleaning date.
4. Frequency Discounts. If you make changes to the frequency of your cleaning schedule, we reserve the right to change the price to reflect time since the last cleaning date and eliminate the discount that we would have applied to future cleanings. Please note that if you receive a discount off your first cleaning in return for scheduling recurring service, you must also receive and pay for at least one follow-up service as agreed or you will be charged retroactively for the initial discount.
5. Rescheduling, Skipping, or Cancelling a Single Cleaning. All requests must be made using our Online Form. Any request will apply only to the date that you specify on the request form and will not alter future dates. If you need to change your entire Recurring Cleaning schedule, please contact our office.
Please note that Dirt Busters offers discounted pricing for Recurring Cleanings so that we can keep your home consistently clean and provide our cleaning technicians with a predictable work schedule and stable income. The longer we go between cleanings, the more work our technicians will have to do to restore your home to the appropriate condition. If you skip a Recurring Cleaning, you will be charged a $50 Skip Fee on the catch-up cleaning. If you skip two cleanings in a row, you will be charged the full, non-discounted price for the catch-up cleaning. Only 5 rescheduled cleans and 2 skips will be allowed per 12 month period or we will not be able to keep you on our schedule as a recurring customer.
6. Cancelling All Recurring Services. If needing to cancel all recurring service please fill out our Recurring Service Cancellation Form. Please allow 10 days to process. This form will not change or cancel any cleanings scheduled within the 10 days.
7. Late Changes and Late Cancellations. Because our cleaning technicians are scheduled in advance, late changes and cancellations deprive them of income. If you cancel or reschedule a service less than 2 Business Days before your originally scheduled date, we will charge a $100 late cancellation fee to help compensate the cleaning technicians for lost income.
8. Lockouts. Lockouts deprive our cleaning technicians of their income. If you do not contact us to cancel a cleaning and the technician arrives at your home at the scheduled time and cannot gain entry or is denied access, we will charge you a lockout fee of the full cost of the cleaning to compensate the cleaning technician for their lost time.
9. Happiness Guarantee. We want you to be delighted with our service! If you are dissatisfied with any of our cleaning services, please contact us right away so that we can make it right. We will first assess the the situation to make sure that we understand the concern, then will re-clean the problem area at no cost to you. The re-clean must be completed within two business days following your initial date of service. If you are still not satisfied and Dirt Busters is at fault, we will offer a refund or partial refund according to the circumstances. Please note that in order for us to offer a refund, we require that a re-clean must be accepted and completed within two business days from the initial date of service.
10. Dependability Guarantee. We want you to be able to count on us. Our cleaning technicians rarely arrive later than scheduled unless there is extremely heavy traffic or another unusual occurrence, in which case we will notify you as soon as possible. If the arrival window has passed and you have not heard from the cleaning technician or our office staff, please call us at 623-977-6725 so we can investigate. In the unlikely event that we do not clean your home the day of your scheduled appointment, the cleaning will be rescheduled for the earliest possible date and will be discounted by $100 for the inconvenience. That’s our Dependability Guarantee.
11. Billing. When you schedule your first service with us, we will take a credit card that will be kept securely filed for payments. Payment is due at time of each service and your card will be charged the day of each cleaning. If your credit card is declined for any reason, we will contact you and ask for this to be remedied within three (3) business days. If payment is not made within three (3) business days following a cleaning, we will assess a late payment fee of $10 per day, and will pause all scheduled services until payment is made. If your service is paused, you may lose your place in the schedule.
12. Tipping. Tipping is never required, but it is a lovely way to tell your cleaner that you think they did a great job. If you would like to tip your cleaner, we suggest a range of 10 to 20% of the price of the cleaning. You can add this amount to your credit card either as a one-time or a recurring charge. Add a Tip Form. If you would prefer to give cash, we ask that you put it in a labeled envelope or otherwise clearly label it to make sure that our cleaning technicians know it is for them!

Breakage Policy
Our professional cleaning technicians do their best to protect your home and possessions, but we know that sometimes things get broken despite precautions. Accordingly, we have worked hard to develop a clear and fair policy to cover accidental breakage.
- Please call us at 623-977-6725 to report any instance of breakage as soon as possible after you notice it so that we can make it right. Breakage must be reported within 7 (seven) days of the incident. Please save the broken item for our inspection. We will review every incident of breakage on a case-by-case basis.
- When value is verifiable and breakage is clearly due to negligence on the part of a Dirt Busters employee, we will reimburse the cost of any broken item up to $100.00 per item. Item values must be verified before replacement or reimbursement will be authorized.
- When appropriate, we will pay to have the broken item repaired instead of reimbursing the cost of the item.
- We reserve the right to review 3 estimates before agreeing to any remedies.
- We cannot accept responsibility for breakage due to objects that are inherently unstable or delicate, or inappropriately placed, such as top-heavy items with inadequate bases, improperly hung pictures, or wobbly objects. Such situations are regarded as accidents-in-waiting and may occur no matter how carefully our cleaning technicians are working.
- In addition, we have noticed that the materials used in many window blinds can become brittle over time and may break while cleaning, or even while opening or closing them. Therefore we cannot accept any responsibility for damages to older blinds. If this is a risk you cannot accept, please let our office know which areas we should avoid and we will add it to your home details.
- Please move fragile, unstable, or expensive items to a location we do not clean, or ask us to skip that area completely if you do not wish to accept the risk of accidental damage.
Other Cleaning Policies
1. Employee safety. Our cleaning technicians are the heart of our business and their safety is extremely important to us. The areas to be cleaned must be accessible without excess clutter or hazardous conditions. Indoor temperatures must also be appropriate for them to work safely. For this reason, be aware that in warm weather, our technicians may set the air conditioning down to 77 degrees Fahrenheit while working in your home; they will reset it to your preferred setting before they leave.
2. No unfair solicitation of employees. At Dirt Busters, we are proud of our wonderful employees and we put a lot of time, money, and effort into recruiting, hiring, and training only the best people. Sadly, some past clients have tried to take advantage of our hard work by trying to “poach” our employees. Please note that our employment contract prohibits employees from accepting private work for Dirt Busters clients unless Dirt Busters is compensated with a finder fee of $2,500. Please do not solicit our employees for side jobs or direct hire outside of this contract. Not only does this place our employee in an awkward situation, it is unfair to our small business. If you attempt to solicit an employee for private hire without paying the required finder fee, all future services will be immediately terminated.
3. Services We Do Not Offer. We specialize in cleaning your home effectively and efficiently and we offer a wide array of cleaning services to suit many different needs. However, we do not offer:
- Dish washing. If there are dishes in the sink, we will work around them to clean the sink. If there are too many dishes for us to reasonably access the sink, we will not be able to clean it.
- Laundry or laundry folding.
- Shopping or errands outside the home.
- Cleaning the tracks of windows and doors
- Cleaning inside of curios, china cabinets, stocked cabinets, stocked closets, or drawers.
- Cleaning behind glass or solid doors on shelving units or furniture.
- Organizing items or picking up clutter, which is defined as five or more items in any given area, such as books, dishes, boxes, mail, papers, clothes, or trash that is not in a trash receptacle.
- Washing exterior windows or washing any interior windows that cannot easily be reached with a two-step ladder.
- Cleaning window tracks and sliding glass door tracks
- Cleaning anything more than six feet above the ground. Due to insurance restrictions, our cleaning technicians may not use any ladder higher than a two-step ladder. Ceiling fans will be cleaned with a duster or brush if technicians can reach the blades by using a two-step ladder.
- Heavy lifting. Due to insurance restrictions, our cleaning technicians may not lift anything weighing more than 25 pounds.
- Cleaning in areas that are difficult or unsafe to access.
- Specialty cleaning such as post-construction cleaning, patios, garages, television or computer screens, steam cleaning, or carpet cleaning.
- Cleaning of bodily fluids, mold, toys, pet waste, or other bio-hazards except for an ordinary level of bathroom cleaning.
- Cleaning heavily soiled areas or areas of disrepair, including rooms or homes with extreme dirt build-up, mold, mildew, peeling paint, or other unsafe conditions. If your home is in this condition, we can refer you to another company that can provide appropriate services.
- Cleaning extremely cluttered rooms or homes. Our cleaning technicians must be able to move freely and safely through your home with their tools and supplies. If your home is extremely cluttered, we can refer you to another company that can provide appropriate services.
- Cleaning excessive hard water or mineral stains or buildup. If you have areas of your home that have hard water or mineral buildup beyond what we can clean with standard cleaning supplies and tools, we can refer you to another company that can provide appropriate services.
- Any cleaning that would require cleaning supplies or tools beyond what Dirt Busters supplies.
- Cleaning inside dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers.
- Cleaning for homes larger than 4,500 square feet.
