New Health and Safety Protocols
May 17, 2020

Your health and safety is a priority for us. Due to the current situation with COVID-19 we have taken the opportunity to develop additional health and safety protocols which include and are not limited to; preventative sanitation for our staff, extra attention on high volume touch points in the home, and other precautionary measures detailed below.

Details of some of the new measures:

  • Staff are provided protective eyewear and mask.
  • MANDATORY use of hand sanitizer before entering your home and starting your service.
  • MANDATORY use of a NEW pair of Shoe Covers and Fresh Gloves during your service (as per our existing policy).
  • Use of CLEAN and DISINFECTED tools and equipment. (as per our existing policy).
  • INTRODUCED our new GermBlasters service**

“IF YOU ARE SICK STAY AT HOME” STRICT STAFF POLICY


We are truly enforcing this rule, and we are instructing our cleaners that until further notice, it will be mandatory to fill out the self-assessment tool at the beginning of each business day and they will have to send their result to the office so we can ensure that you are protected.

If you or any of your family members have travelled abroad, are showing any symptoms(coughing, sneezing, runny nose, fever etc) and/ or have been directed by a health official to self-isolate or quarantine, you must advise Maid4Condos office immediately and cancel/ skip your service for your safety and the safety of our team.

In order to facilitate your ability to cancel your service, we will be temporarily flexible with our cancellation policy, meaning that if you are sick or showing any symptoms, you MUST cancel your service prior to our arrival. If we arrive on-site and you are showing symptoms and did not cancel your service we reserve the right to cancel your service and charge you the full-service fee.

The following link is the tool our staff is using for self-assessment, we would appreciate if you utilize this tool as well at the beginning of your scheduled service date.

** We want to assure you that we will not for any reason send someone that is sick or presenting symptoms to your home. **


During Your Service:

Our staff will be wearing protective equipment mentioned above and they will disinfect and wash their hands before starting your service.

** You should feel confident that all of the protocols will be followed even if you are not at home **

If you are at home, our cleaners have been instructed to respect social distancing. We also request that you respect social distancing of 6 feet or 2 meters at a minimum.

You will be asked to either:

1. Vacate the home during the service. (Highly Recommended & Preferred)
2. Stay in a specific room in your home during the service.

3. Open windows/ patio door and activate ventilation in your home to ensure moving air flow and circulation. 

Simply advise the cleaner which room you will be staying in so the cleaner can clean that room first so that you can then occupy it. We truly appreciate your respecting this protocol as an additional precautionary measure.

**OUR STAFF WILL FOLLOW THE SAME CHECKLIST, AS USUAL, PAYING EXTRA ATTENTION TO ALL THE HIGH-VOLUME TOUCH POINTS IN YOUR HOME**

If you leave your keys with the Concierge, we are also asking our Staff to disinfect them before they returning to Concierge.


What are “High Volume Touch Points”?

We will clean with extra attention the High-Volume Touch Points in all the services that we do. Including and not limited to:

  • Light switches
  • All Door Knobs (Inside and out)
  • Remote controls
  • Toilet Seats
  • Faucets
  • Appliances Handles
  • Busy Counter Areas
  • Telephones

CLEANING AND SANITIZATION OF OUR EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS

** To maintain the cleanliness and sanitization of our cleaning supplies and tools we have provided additional training to our staff with new cleaning and sanitization methods. Rest assured that we come to your home with fresh clean tools. **
