Sunlight Cleaning NYC F.A.Q

Frequently Asked Questions About All Our Cleaning Services and Work

Do I need to be at home while the cleaners are working in my apartment?

No, you do not need to be home during the service. Many of our NYC clients prefer to leave entry instructions (such as leaving keys with the building doorman or providing a lockbox code) and return later to a fully clean apartment. However, if you prefer to be present to oversee the process, you are absolutely welcome to stay.

Is Sunlight Cleaning pet-friendly, and do I need to crate my dog or cat?

Yes, we are completely pet-friendly and use non-toxic, eco-friendly supplies. However, to prevent accidents and keep your pets stress-free from vacuum noises, we require pets to be supervised or crated in a separate room while our team works.

Are tips included in the bill?

No the tips are not included, and if you wish to tip your cleaners, please do so by cash directly to the cleaner, please do not include your tips into the bill, because that will create confusion and misunderstandings.
