Insurance / Valuables
Should you decide that you would like us to clean items within curio cabinets or items of monetary/sentimental value, the following release of liability shall be in effect:

Client hereby releases Ocean Cleaning London Ltd from all liability arising out of cleaning these items. Clients understands that they are completely responsible for repairing or replacing any damaged item or items even if Ocean Cleaning London Ltd may have caused the need for repair or replacement.

Ocean Cleaning London Ltd has a Public and Employer's liability insurance. The policy will cover any accidental damages caused by an operator working on behalf of Ocean Cleaning London Ltd, reported within 24 hours of the service date.

Ocean Cleaning London Ltd reserves the right to refuse to share any of the confidential company's documents.

Service limitations
We cannot move furniture (heavy furniture) but will try to reach a visible place with an extension duster If an area in the home is considered or has the potential to be considered a health or bio-hazard, that area will not be cleaned (emptying/cleaning cat litter boxes, human/animal excrement, asbestos or glass fibre ie: ceiling tiles etc).

It is to the clients advantage to have the home clutter free. If such areas/surfaces are overly cluttered at the time of cleaning, your team will clean around those areas and you will be notified.

Entry to homes
Ocean Cleaning London Ltd has three different options to choose from so that your cleaners have entry into homes.

1). Clients may opt to not give a key to the company and be home on their day of cleaning. Because we cannot give an exact time, the client must be home during their specific time frame to let the cleaners in/out of the home. If no one is home when the cleaners arrive, a cancellation fee will be charged. (See fee above)

2). Clients may provide the company with a key. In the event of termination of the cleaning agreement, keys will be returned to the client within 48 hours of the final cleaning. For your protection, keys will not be linked to any information pertaining to the client. Keys are kept in a secured area and are crossed referenced in case of loss.

3). If a client chooses to leave their door unlocked, place the key under the mat, or leave their house key in an unsecured place for the cleaners to gain entry, the client releases Ocean Cleaning London Ltd from all liability that arises from damage made before or after the cleaners leave the premises. The client understands that they will be responsible for any damages that are caused before/after their scheduled cleaning team.

It is not necessary for the client to disarm their alarm system for their scheduled date of cleaning. If you would like, you may contact your alarm company and have a house cleaner code issued.

Complaints and claims
The customer accepts and understands that poor service, breakage/damage or theft must be reported within 24 hours from the service date. Failure to do so will entitle customer to no refunds or recovery cleanings.

Ocean Cleaning London Ltd requires the presence of the customer or his/her representative in the beginning and at the end of the cleaning session as an inspection can be carried out and if any corrections, should be made on the same day.

If the customer has scheduled an inventory check then it must be scheduled to commence no later than 24 hours after the cleaning job has been carried out.

Complaints are accepted verbally over the phone and in writing (letter, e mail or Fax). Complaints must be reported on completion or in the following 24-hour period.

All fragile and highly breakable items must be secured or removed. Items excluded from liability are: cash, jewellery, items of sentimental value (the customer will be credited with the items present cash value), art and antiques.

Key replacement/locksmith fees are paid only if keys are lost by our operatives. There is a £30 per household liability limit.

Ocean Cleaning London Ltd agrees to keep all customers* information confidential.

In case of damage Ocean Cleaning London Ltd will repair the item at its cost. If the item cannot be repaired Ocean Cleaning London Ltd will rectify the problem by crediting the customer with the item's present actual cash value toward a like replacement from a Perfect Clean's source upon payment of cleaning services rendered.
