Because each team cleans five to six homes during the day, we sometimes encounter complications that impact the accuracy of our arrival time, such as traffic, cancellations, or additional help requested by costumers.

Yes. We have liability and workers’ compensation coverage. Your home, our employees and Wilmette Maids are included in the coverage. Insurance and bonding validation certificates are available upon request.

Wilmette Maids takes the utmost care in cleaning your home, but, occasionally, that can happen. We will take responsibility for the damage, either by replacing the damaged item or reimbursing you. If appropriate, insurance claims will be filed.
