Additional information on Maid in Full
I've requested a service-provider - What happens now?

As soon as a service-provider has accepted your request you will receive a confirmation by e-mail. Sometimes it takes a little longer to find a service-provider for you, this depends on your address and the time of the request. If this is the case, we will contact you to see if you are flexible in your desired booking date and/or time. We may then be able to connect you to a service-provider more quickly.

Do i need to be home during service delivery?

For the first visit we insist that you are there to get acquainted with the service-provider, show him/her the house and give instructions.

Can i trust my service-provider with the keys to my home?

Of course you can give the service-provider a key. Many of our clients give their key to the Homemanager if they  for example have a weekly or bi-weekly cleaning. We encourage you to coordinate future appointments with your service-provider before handing over your keys. In addition, our advice is to sign this document together to confirm key collection.

Do I have to have (cleaning) products/materials at home?

We recommend to have the following cleaning products and cleaning materials at home:
1 vacuum cleaner
1 mop
4 cleaning wipes
1 feather duster
1 scratch-free sponge
Toilet cleaner
Bathroom cleaner (Limescale remover)
All-purpose cleaner

Pricing

The service-providers who work via our platform determine their own hourly rate. As a client you can therefore choose in which price category you are looking for a service-provider. You will then only be linked to service-providers that fall within the price category you select.

When do i pay for the service?

You will receive a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly digital invoice from us on behalf of your service-provider weekly that you must pay within 7 days.

My service has been delivered but I have not yet received an invoice - how can I pay?

Payment will not be processed until your service-provider has confirmed that the appointment actually took place. Usually the service-provider does this immediately after the appointment, but sometimes it can take a little longer, depending on the help/service. Contact your service-provider and ask the provider to confirm the appointment.

Can i pay in cash?

No – all service-providers are paid via the website and they do not accept cash.

Where can I find my invoices?

You can find and download your invoices in PDF format in your personal profile after service delivery.

Service-providers choose in which neighborhood(s) or city they want to work in. travel or parkings costs are always disclosed  per e-mail to the client and have a minimum of €6,00 for travel per visit or parking which depends on the parking rates in your street/postal code area .

Does the invoice show the VAT/BTW separately?

Depending on the service this may show on your invoice
The service-providers (for example the cleaning Maids) work via the Dienstverlening aan Huis regeling and do not have to charge VAT according to these regulations. This is therefore not shown on the invoice.
Unless the service-provider is delivering service for more than 3 days a week or delivering service to a business.
