Booking
How quickly can I book a same-day clean?
How quickly can I book a same-day clean?
Same-day bookings are available when crew members are online. The average accept time in the core Niagara service area is under 30 seconds. A $50 same-day rush fee applies to any booking made less than 24 hours in advance.
Can I request the same cleaner each time?
Can I request the same cleaner each time?
Yes. You can favorite a crew member and set up a recurring schedule — Zulma prioritizes them for your upcoming bookings when they’re available. If your preferred crew member isn’t available for a particular visit, another vetted crew member is matched, and you can reschedule free of charge up to 24 hours before the booking.
Do I need to be home during the clean?
Do I need to be home during the clean?
