– Our cleaning hours are from 8:30am to 6:00pm. If for any circumstance our staff is sent away or locked out from your home between these hours, there will be a cancellation fee of 100% of customer’s typical cleaning rate. We will make every effort to work within time frames requested, but ask not to be sent away during our working hours. (Exceptions can be made when customer or household member is ill and must remain in the home and similar emergencies, or for first-time cancellations.)
– We will make every attempt to reschedule company initiated schedule changes due to holidays or extreme weather conditions as close to regular scheduled cleaning date as possible.

NON‐SOLICITATION OF ICCS EMPLOYEES
When entering into an agreement for services with ICCS you agree not to solicit for hire any staff member introduced to you by ICCS for any home‐related services. We spend a lot of time, money and resources finding, interviewing, checking references and backgrounds, and training our cleaners. When hired, each cleaning technician signs an agreement barring them from performing any home‐related service for any of our past or present customers. However, if you do wish to employ a staff member directly please discuss this matter with the owner. If you are found to have solicited one of our staff please be advised that our referral/ training fee is $3,500 per hired employee. Payment is due within 30 days from the date on the invoice. We consider our employees our most valuable asset and charge accordingly.
