- Client can leave a key hidden on their premises or leave a designated door unlocked.
- If you wish to be home while the crew is cleaning, you may phone the office the working day before the cleaning & we can tell you within an hour or two of when your crew will arrive.
House Beautiful believes in keeping an open line of communication with you. Your notes to our crews are always welcome and we appreciate knowing your special priorities.
