About eMop platform
eMop is an online app that connects customers and professional cleaners. eMop acts as a powerful platform arranging fast and high-quality service for the customers, where safety is our priority.
Cleaners work as independent cleaning partners. They access the eMop platform via eMop mobile App where they pick up customers’ orders that have been booked via the eMop website.
-
What about the eMoppers’ safety?
Cleaners and customers’ safety at work is our priority. Before cleaning we will provide you with the customer’s details, rating and feedback from other cleaners (unless the customer is new). Therefore, you will know what to expect. After the cleaning is completed, the customer’s account is automatically charged online. This avoids you taking cash and getting involved in any potential issues associated with non-payment. You will also have the opportunity to rate your customer after each job. If you feel unsafe at a customer’s home, please exit the property immediately and contact eMop via Telegram.
-
How are eMoppers matched with customers?
When a customer books a cleaning service on the eMop Platform, their order becomes available for all cleaners who are ‘online’ on their eMop App. As soon as the cleaner accepts the job they are assigned to the booking, please note this is appointed on a first come first serve basis.
-
How can I contact eMop?
At eMop our best way of communication is via Text or an email emopper@emop.world. Before reaching out to us, please have a look at our FAQs for eMoppers on the website or in your Mobile App. It’s possible you may find your answer without having to wait for our response.
-
eMoppers Service Agreement
The eMoppers Service Agreement is the contract that governs the use of the platform for independent cleaners. When you upload your documents on the website you must agree to the terms and conditions within that agreement.
-
Сancellation Policy
The eMop platform is designed to be as flexible as possible. We can understand that changes may occur. However, customers should not suffer because of last-minute cancellations by eMoppers. If you cancel a job less than 24 hours before the start time, you will be subject to late cancellation fees. You can find the eMoppers Cancellation Policy in your Service Agreement on the Mobile App.

Why I am deactivated from eMop Platform?
Either you have chosen not to work for eMop anymore or we have deactivated you because of inactivity or a violation of eMop rules. If you feel this is an error, then please contact the eMop support team via Telegram.
-
What is the difference between eMop and a cleaning agency?
eMop is an agent that connects customers and professional cleaners. We are a platform that allows customers to request cleaning services working alongside with you, our independent cleaners that can pick up these orders. At the same time, eMop acts as a third-party provider that promotes high standards of quality, safety and an accurate price list of the services we provide to our customers.
-
What’s the Insurance Policy?
The eMop insurance policy covers costs for death or bodily injury, or damage to third party property arising in the course of your business including the supply of products (Public & Products liability).
The insurance policy excludes the first £250. Therefore, the cleaners, being independent contractors, are responsible for damages up to £250.
In case a cleaner does not admit the fault, eMop makes a decision based on the evidence supplied by a customer and a cleaner.
eMop doesn’t cover any damage even above £250 if you have used non-authorized cleaning products . In the case of damage less £250 the cleaner will compensate the client’s invoice themselves or the relevant amount can be deducted from the upcoming eMop payments.

- one-off fee for the welcome cleaning kit
- one-off fee for criminal check (if not provided)
- penalties fees for breaking the eMop rules and regulations
-
Deposit
At the interview we provide you with the backpack of cleaning products and the uniform. To be sure that you are a reliable partner and intend to work with us, we ask you to provide us with a refundable deposit of £40. If you disappear after you join eMop (that happens sometimes), the deposit will cover eMop’s cost for the backpack, the uniform and the cleaning products. Also, if you accept a job and cancel it in the last minute, eMop can use your deposit to cover the penalty fee if you don’t have enough money on your balance.
The balance of the deposit has always to be £40 to be eligible to accept jobs.
If you decide to leave eMop Platform after authorization your deposit will be given back to you.
-
How can I receive my deposit back?
If you decide to leave the platform, you can get your deposit back.
- If eMop has withdrawn money for your cleaning kit before you decide to leave, you receive you deposit back in full volume.
- If you decide to leave eMop only after one or two completed jobs, we will take some money for used cleaning products (£10-£30) in case you bring the backpack with the cleaning products back to eMop’s office. In order to avoid any misunderstanding, we kindly ask you to return the backpack clean and with all the bottles provided at the skills assessment.
- If you completed over two jobs and decided to leave eMop, you will be deducted a full amount of the cleaning kit (£30). In this case you don’t need to bring the backpack to the office. Your rest £10 will be transferred to your bank account together with all the money you earned on eMop platform.
-
Criminal check fee
eMop charges a fee for a criminal disclosure check. This fee will be withdrawn from your account when you have worked and earned a balance over £100.
When you are uploading your documents on the website, we ask you about your background information, relying on your honesty. The criminal check status is checked later after you have been authorised. Please keep in mind that if you have not been honest about any criminal activities, we will not only withdraw the fee from your account but also deactivate you from the eMop platform.
If you have a criminal check document, please, send or bring us a copy of this document. In this case, we will not need to do a criminal check for you.
-
Late cancellation penalty fee
Every time an eMopper refuses to attend a confirmed job last minute before the job it causes us great inconvenience. It can prove difficult to find another eMopper to replace you and in these cases, we must cancel the cleaning and provide compensation to the client. All penalty fees including the late cancellation penalty fee are explained in the eMopper Service Agreement and in the Cancellation Policy, which each eMopper agrees to before starting work with the eMop Cleaning Service Platform.
If you believe a mistake has been made, and you were incorrectly charged a penalty, please contact the eMop Support Desk.

Late arrival penalty fee
To be on time is a key factor when providing professional service. It is very important that you arrive on time to meet the client’s expectations.
If you arrive 30 minutes late after the booking start time and don’t check-in at the start of work, you risk receiving a penalty of 1hr.
If you understand that you may be late for more than 1 hour, contact eMop Support Desk immediately, we will reschedule or cancel the booking. In this case, you will receive a fine according to the Cancellation Policy but will be able to continue working with the eMop platform. In a situation where you do not inform the client and the Support Desk about your delay, we apply the ‘No show Up’ penalty fee.
If you believe a mistake has been made, and that you were incorrectly charged a penalty, please contact the eMop Support Desk.

‘No Show Up’ penalty fee
eMop has a strict policy concerning failure to arrive at customer’s home. If you missed the job and never informed eMop and the client that you were unable to do the job in advance it does not make a good impression on yourself and the company. Therefore, we have no tolerance for the “no show” cases.
Under such circumstances, you will be charged the full price of the estimated booking and you will be deactivated from the eMop platform forever.
If you believe a mistake has been made, and that you were incorrectly charged a penalty, please contact the eMop Support Desk.

What to expect at the first cleaning job?
You will first need to check the location of customer’s home and plan your route so that you arrive on time for your job. For security reasons, you will only receive the customer’s details 3 hours before the start time of the job. Once you receive the client details, we recommend you contact them, to introduce yourself and to confirm the details of the location and how to get into the premises.
Secondly, you must ensure your cleaning kit with your branded uniform and the cleaning materials are with you in the eMop backpack.
Then, when you have arrived at the location you must press ‘Start’ on your eMop App. When you press Start, the customer will receive a text message. From this moment, onwards the time of cleaning has started.
Next, ask the client to show you around and explain their requirements. Change your clothes, put on the eMop branded t-shirt or the apron, prepare the cleaning materials and start cleaning. If the customer insists on you to using their own cleaning products, then you can use them.
When you have completed the job, ask the customer to check that you have done everything as expected. Clean again if the customer requests it.
At the end jand ust before you leave you must click ‘Finish’ on your eMop App. That will indicate that the job is complete and the customer will be charged for your time. When you click on ‘Finish’ the customer will receive a text message so do not click on the finish after you leave as the customer will be informed.
Lastly, rate your client.
Congratulations! Your first job is done!

How often should I check for orders?
Once you have turned on your status as ‘online’ in your eMop App, you can accept all new orders. You’ll receive a push-notification whenever new orders turn up and will be able to view them on the app. You need to make a decision quickly when you see a new order in the app. Other cleaners can pick up the job also, while you’re still thinking about it. At the same time, keep in mind the Cancellation Policy and think carefully before accepting orders.
If you see no new requests from customers, it means there aren’t any available orders at the moment. Wait for a while; new orders will come soon.
