Frequently Asked Questions

Our goal is to provide the best customer service and to answer all of your questions in a timely manner. Below are just some of the frequently asked questions we receive.

How do I reschedule a cleaning with The Cleaning Authority?

If your location is using the MyTCA app, you can use it to request an alternate day for your clean. To request to reschedule a clean on the app, click on the “Next Cleaning” banner found on the home page or select “Cleanings” on the bottom menu and select the arrow next to the clean date you wish to reschedule. From there, tap on the top right icon (3 vertical dots) and select “Reschedule Cleaning”. Please select at least two alternate days that work best and select “Confirm”. We will then reach out to you with your finalized clean date. To reschedule a clean on the app, you must put in the request at least 48 hours in advance of your next clean.

Keep in mind, there also may be times when weather makes it unsafe for us to travel and carry equipment and supplies to your home. Driveways and sidewalks must be cleared and accessible. Holidays may also necessitate a schedule change. Your understanding and cooperation in rescheduling is greatly appreciated.

Will my house be inspected after every clean?

Our Quality Control Inspectors inspect our teams on a regular basis. They may enter your home after the team leaves. The Cleaning Authority does these inspections to ensure the highest quality standards for our house cleaning services.

I have an alarm system. What do I do on days my house is cleaned?

If your home has a security system, please provide us with the code and steps necessary for us to turn off the alarm. We will reset the alarm when we leave. Alternatively, you may want to disable it on the day of your scheduled clean.

What if I want to tip my cleaners?

Are you happy with your clean and want to show appreciation to your team? Tipping is a great way to do so. Tips may be left at the time of the clean, or if your location is using the MyTCA app you can set up a one time or auto recurring tip.

To add an auto tip in the app, select “Account” on the bottom menu and then select “Wallet”. In the wallet, there will be a “Set Auto Tip to Enable a Default Tipping Amount” option if your payment method has already been added. Tap on the amount desired or if you’d like to set a different amount, select “Custom”. Once an auto tip is set, the amount will be charged automatically and separately each clean. You are able to edit auto tips for particular cleans or remove them if needed.

What if I want to know if my team is on the way?

If your local office is using the MyTCA app, you can view an estimated time of arrival through a display feature in the app. Once cleaners have arrived at your home, the display banner will change to “Cleaning in Process”.
