What's the best cleaning service for me?We recognize the different needs of our clients, and we consistently put an effort in developing cleaning programs and services to address these needs. Please check our Services Page and click 'Learn More' to explore the different services we offer. For a comprehensive cleaning services, we recommend our Deep Cleaning Service using Gruenheim Technology. The service covers cleaning of all the hard surfaces and upholstered items in your home. It's on the expensive side, but hey, we'll render a full sweep of your place and get rid of as much germs, bacteria and allergens as we can! If budget is a consideration, we recommend our General Cleaning Services, which is more affordable and traditional in approach. The service focuses on hard surfaces, but you have the option to add-on per item service requirements such as upholstery cleaning for mattresses, sofas and area rugs. The service uses traditional cleaning tools (filtered vacuum included) and cleaning agents. Both General Cleaning and Deep Cleaning options priced based on gross floor area (in square meters). If you only wish to have some areas of your space cleaned, we recommend booking our Cleaning Assistance Services. You will be billed per hour of rendered service, but you have the option to specify which areas you only need cleaned. Our Patrollers will still arrive equipped with their basic cleaning tools.

What equipment and solutions do you use?We use a variety of cleaning equipment and cleaning agents sourced from various vendors. Nonetheless, we are actively in search of the best tools, equipment and cleaning agents we can use in the market. For our Deep Cleaning and Upholstery Cleaning services, we use Gruenheim GHS1/S2 for dry steam cleaning and the Gruenheim GHV1 Hydro Vacuum. We use Ridgid Vacuums for our Post-Construction cleaning works. We have ladders that can reach up to 12ft. For requirements more than the indicated height, we can arrange for the use of scaffolding at an extra cost.

Every team has an assigned Lead/Quality Controller.

What are your Post-Construction Cleaning Terms and Conditions?Service Scope. Clean Patrol shall provide all labor, equipment and services indicated on the job order. Special services such as carpet cleaning, floor polishing, etc. are subject to additional fees. For Post-Construction Cleaning Services, we highly recommend that all construction/renovation work should be completed before we render our services. We do not render any re-work or re-cleaning beyond our scheduled service hours if construction is still ongoing. Please ensure that there is minimal debris left by the contractor. We do not dispose of debris such as wood, paint cans, etc. Nevertheless, we can arrange for hauling and clearing services on your behalf, if required. Spaces availing of the post-construction services should be clear of furniture and debris, and uninhabited, as the service focuses on the cleaning of surfaces. You may upgrade to the Post-Construction Deep Cleaning service if the space is already furnished or lived in as the condition requires a different cleaning approach and scheduling. Major stains such as paint, grout and adhesive stains that require retouching should be done by the contractor. For reversible stains, Clean Patrol applies various stain removal techniques and solutions, which are included in the package. The team will inform you if certain stains can no longer be removed. Compensation. Clean Patrol meticulously prepares for your cleaning needs. To prepare for your appointment, we require a 50% Cleaning Fee Down Payment. Full Payment option is also available. To reserve your slot, kindly pay via bank deposit within 24 hours of booking. Bookings made 24 hours before the schedule will require full payment. Work Permits. The client shall secure all work permits and gate passes. Client shall inform Clean Patrol of any special requirements for safety and insurance prior to the work schedule. Cancellation. To avoid lost wages for your cleaners, please give us at least a 48-hour notice if you wish to cancel or reschedule an appointment. If a cleaning appointment is less than 48 hours in advance, the down payment will be non-refundable.

Can I change my Job Order on the day of service?Clean Patrol prepares for our deployments ahead of schedule. Our teams and equipment are dispatched according to the Job Order. Please take note of the following considerations in the event of a variation order on the day of service: - For time-based cleaning services such as housekeeping services, we can only offer additional hours provided that the cleaner does not have a succeeding booking. We cannot reduce the time for time-based cleaning as the cleaner's hours have been assigned to you. - For cleaning packages, we can only deploy additional manpower or equipment on the same day subject to the availability of the equipment and manpower. Additional transportation charges may apply. All requested manpower and equipment orders for the day may not be cancelled.

What is your Quality Assurance and Control Policy?A Clean Patrol Team Lead/Quality Controller will be assigned to you to ensure the quality of our cleaners' work. For coordination and reporting purposes, he/she may take photos of your space and be on his/her phone during the cleaning session. The assigned lead is the only person allowed to use his/her phone throughout the duration of the service. As a protocol, they are required to request for your permission to use their phones upon arrival. All information received will be kept confidential, but please feel free to refuse if you do not feel comfortable about phone usage. Our estimated cleaning time does not limit the time spent by our team. They may finish earlier or later since as you may know, cleaning requirements vary from household to household and from business to business. Nevertheless, we want to ensure that your space is definitely CLEAN-PATROL-CLEAN as we go. For all services other than our time-based house cleaning services, our team will stay until the job is done and your place is spick and span. Should the team require more time with you but is scheduled to be with another client, we will send a second team to accomplish the cleaning requirements. Upon rendering the cleaning service, the assigned lead and quality controller will brief you about the completed works. He/she will also ask you to sign our Service Acknowledgement Form and rate the team's service. We take this as an acceptance of the job rendered. Complaints Our cleaners will not leave our client's unit without our client's acceptance. Complaints must be communicated to Clean Patrol management within the same day or within 24 hours from time of completion. A personnel or team will be sent to render back services for free if complaints are communicated within the prescribed 24-hour time period.
