FAQ

Questions, answered straight

Everything clients ask before the first visit, grouped so you can find yours. If it isn't here, text us — you'll get a real answer from a real person.

The short version: we bring all supplies and equipment, you don’t need to be home, most jobs run 9-to-3, every home gets a flat quote by text, and everything is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee from the same owner-operated cleaner every visit.

Booking & scheduling

Which areas do you serve?
Richmond (we're based in Pecan Grove), Rosenberg, Sugar Land, and Katy, plus nearby Fort Bend County neighborhoods. If you're close but not sure, text us — worst case we'll point you to someone good.
How far ahead should I book?
Text us your timing first — move-outs and closings have hard dates and we plan around them. For recurring and one-time cleans, most weeks have room.
Can I book a cleaning as a gift for someone?
One of our favorite bookings — new parents, a parent's home, a friend mid-move. Text us what you have in mind and we'll arrange it with them like any other visit, with you covering the quote.
What's the fastest way to get on the schedule?
A text with beds, baths, your city, and what you need — photos help. Most quotes come back within a day, and move-out or closing dates get priority scheduling.
Will I get a reminder before my visit?
Yes — you'll get a confirmation text the day before, so a visit is never a surprise knock. Need to move it? Reply to that text and we'll reschedule.
How early should I book around the holidays?
Earlier than feels necessary — pre-hosting deep cleans stack up fast in November and December. Text your date as soon as you have it and we'll hold the slot.
Can you clean in the evening or on a Saturday?
Weekdays are the main schedule, and evening appointments are genuinely available — we take after-hours cleans regularly, which is what makes this work for households where nobody's home until six. Saturdays are lighter but can be arranged; text the day you need and we'll tell you straight.

During the visit

Do you bring your own supplies and equipment?
Yes — supplies and equipment are on us. If you prefer a specific product used in your home (a favorite floor cleaner, a scent, a no-bleach rule), leave it out and tell us. Your home, your rules.
Do I need to be home during the clean?
No — most clients aren't. We'll set up an entry arrangement you're comfortable with, and you'll hear from us when we're done. Plenty of clients have trusted us with their homes for years.
How long does a typical clean take?
We run tight: most jobs start around 9 and we're finished by 3, even deep cleans. You'll get a realistic window with your quote — not a guess.
Is it the same cleaner every time?
Yes. Havens Touch is owner-operated — Yalanda leads every job. You'll know exactly who's in your home, which is the reason many clients switched from the big franchises.
Can you use eco-friendly or specific products in my home?
Gladly. We bring effective standard supplies, and if you prefer particular products — green-certified, fragrance-free, a no-bleach rule — leave yours out and those are what we'll use. Your home, your products, no upcharge for the swap.
Do you clean homes with babies or kids at home?
All the time. Tell us nap schedules and no-go rooms and we'll work around them — quietly. One of our longest-standing reviews is from a client who worked from home through the whole visit.
Do you come alone or with a team?
Owner-led, always — Yalanda runs every job. Some visits include a trusted helper for larger homes, but the person responsible for your home never changes.
Do I need to do anything before you arrive?
Nothing is required — that's the point of hiring us. That said, a two-minute pickup of personal items means the visit goes to cleaning instead of shuffling, so it's the one prep step that genuinely pays.
Do you clean homes with pets?
Happily — tell us who lives there and how they feel about visitors. We'll respect gates and closed doors, and shedding-season floors are familiar territory.

Pricing & guarantee

How does pricing work?
Every home is different, so we quote each one honestly: size, condition, and how often you'd like us there. Text a few details — beds, baths, and what you need — and you'll get a clear, flat quote with no surprises on the day.
What's your guarantee?
100% satisfaction, the same promise we've made since 2021. If something isn't right, tell us and we'll make it right. Our first clients are still with us — that's the standard.
What if something gets damaged during a clean?
Tell us immediately — we own our mistakes and make them right. Careful handling is the default (it's why clients hand us their keys for years), and when something does go wrong, you'll deal with the owner directly, not a claims process.
Is there a contract for recurring service?
No contracts. A recurring plan is just a standing slot on the calendar — skip it, move it, or stop it with a text. We'd rather earn next month than lock you into it.

Services & scope

What's the difference between a standard and a deep clean?
Standard keeps a maintained home fresh: floors, surfaces, kitchens, bathrooms, trash, tidy. Deep goes after buildup: baseboards, blinds, fans, inside the oven and fridge, grout. If you're not sure which you need, send photos — we'll tell you straight.
Do you clean offices or rental turnovers?
Yes — light commercial (offices, retail, small-business spaces) and apartment turnovers, on schedules that work around your business hours.
Are dishes and linens included?
Dishes go into the dishwasher as part of the kitchen clean, and we change linens on request during regular visits. Full laundry service isn't a standard offering — ask when you book if you need something specific.
What's the difference between a move-out clean and a deep clean?
Scope and setting. A deep clean resets a lived-in home (buildup, blinds, appliances). A move-out clean details an empty home to walkthrough standard — inside every cabinet, drawer, and appliance, because that's what gets inspected.
Is anything off-limits during a clean?
A few things, for good reasons: we don't move heavy furniture alone, do tall-ladder work, or handle anything unsafe. Interior windows within reach are in; anything outside scope gets said upfront, never discovered later.

Still have a question?

Text it — the owner answers her own phone, and a real answer beats a search result. Service-specific questions live on each service page, and each city page answers what’s local.
