The following items are necessary to ensure that your home is properly cleaned and prepared for the cold winter months ahead. Please make every effort to return this letter by January 15th, so that we can schedule all of the work for this Spring. My name is __________________________________ My unit is __________________________________ Today’s date is __________________________________ DEEP CLEANING Deep Clean - The cost to deep clean your home equals 4.5 times the normal cost of a standard cleaning. We attempt to do all deep cleaning on departures, so that you save the cost of a standard clean (we cannot guarantee this). The earlier your letter is received back at our office, the more likely we will be able to coordinate your deep clean on a departure. _____ YES - Premier please schedule my home for a deep clean. _____ NO - I plan to do my own deep cleaning on _____________(date). It is important that you fill in the date you anticipate doing your cleaning so that we have the opportunity to ensure everything is completed to standard. We have a detailed checklist available on our web site at www.helenga.com, which can be found under “Property Management” to act as a guideline. Carpet Cleaning- Market Rate (If you intend to schedule your own carpet cleaning, we strongly encourage you to have your carpets cleaned by a professional carpet cleaning company). _____ YES - Premier please schedule my home for a carpet clean. _____ NO - I plan to schedule my own carpets for cleaning on_________(date) Upholstery Cleaning - Market Rate ____ YES - Premier please have the upholstery in my home cleaned.
