Short answers
Questions about the touch-up clean
Why a week later?
Fine dust keeps settling for days after the work. A visit right at the end leaves it behind; a visit a week later takes it.
Can the touch-up be skipped?
Yes. If the final clean went well and you are happy with the rooms, you can cancel it up to 48 hours ahead without a charge.
Is it priced by the hour or the room?
By the hour, with a two-hour minimum and the number of cleaners shown on the quote.
