We believe that time is valuable for everyone, therefore our Cancellation Policy applies to both our clients and eMoppers. When you cancel a job a few hours before the start time or at the last minute, cleaners lose their income and it disrupts their schedule. Your cancellation fees provide compensation to the cleaners. Please read our Cancellation Policy before cancelling a booking.

We communicate with clients by email or Live Chat to handle the majority of cases. Please provide us with as many details as possible to get a quick response. We normally answer within 24 hours of the request. Should the enquiry be urgent, you will be contacted as soon as possible. We don’t provide phone support as we don’t have a specialized call canter.

Cleaners are private individuals who have access to the eMop platform and accept cleaning work via the eMop app. Before joining the eMop platform, cleaners must provide eMop with adequate criminal check certificates or apply for one if never done before. Being a 3^rd party agent, eMop only cooperates with individuals with no prior criminal records. Cleaners are also trained to follow eMop’s cleaning standards and general rules.

When you make a booking with eMop, your order becomes available for all cleaners who have access to the eMop platform. Cleaners decide themselves what jobs to accept. Sometimes cleaners may ask for a different times that the ones booked by the client. In this case we contact the client and reschedule the booking so it is suitable for both parties.

We operate 24/7 to provide the most convenient cleaning service for you. eMop’s support team is available from 7am to 9 pm via the email and Live Chat features on the webiste.

 

When you make a booking, you’ll be able to leave comments if you are “not going to be at home”. However, someone should give the cleaner access to the property prior to the cleaning.

Also, be aware that if you are not at home, it might be difficult to prove that the cleaning didn’t meet your expectations because you had no chance to check the job at the place before the cleaner left your home.

Please bear in mind that if the cleaner is not able to get inside the property, you may be charged according to our Cancellation Policy.

If you would like to give us feedback please email support@emop.world or alternatively use our Facebook page.

 

When a booking is completed, you can rate your cleaner on My Account – > History.

Some cleaners may be allergic to certain pets. That is why we kindly ask you to indicate it while making a booking. If a cleaner finds out about the presence of a pet upon arrival, please keep a pet in a different room to the one where the cleaner is working.

If you need a cleaner to pick up a key for your property somewhere, please tick the box about keys in your booking and leave detailed guidelines how to access them. We ask you to be accessible by phone before the cleaning in the case of a cleaner having issues getting into your property.

Please be advised that if the cleaner needs to pick the keys, the timing of your cleaning service will be extended for the time required to pick up the keys if they are not stored in the same building.

Bookings can only be completed via our website www.emop.co.uk and the payment is made via our secure payment provider. The booking process is very simple and only takes a few minutes to complete. To make a booking, we ask for some personal details (your name, phone number, your address) and your payment information (we accept payment by credit or debit card only). Please be aware that we will only charge you when the cleaning has been completed. However, when you make a booking, we will block out the estimated amount on your card to be sure your payment will be processed. After the cleaning, the final cost is charged to your card details, and the difference between the estimated and factual amount will be reflected as a refund or extra charge on your account.

The Booking/Order ID is a unique number that we use to track clients orders. You will receive your Booking ID in the confirmation email after completing the booking. Please use your Booking ID when you contact the Support Desk.

 

 

If you need to reschedule your booking for whatever reason, you can do it in My Account – and go to the Upcoming booking section, on our website.

Please be aware that you may be required to pay a fee for late rescheduling. Please see our Cancellation policy.

Please see our Cancellation policy. When you cancel a job a few hours before the start time or at the last minute, our eMoppers lose their income and it disrupts their schedule. Your cancellation fees cover cleaners’ compensation.

The minimum duration for any cleaning order is 3 hours.

Cleaners working with our platform accept bookings themselves. If nobody is available to do your job, the booking is cancelled automatically 3 hours before the start time. In this case, we offer you the chance to make a new booking at another date and time or contact eMop Support Team via email or live chat on our website.

No. We only accept bookings via the eMop website. If you have any problems with our website, please refresh the page and proceed with the booking. If you’re still not successful, please contact the eMop Support Team.

You can book a service 4 hours in advance. If you need a cleaner to arrive earlier, just indicate that in your ‘comments’ section when making your booking! As soon as you place the booking, your job will become available for all eMop cleaners. When someone accepts your booking, you will receive an email confirmation. Otherwise, the system will automatically cancel the booking 3 hours before the requested start time; you will be sent a notification email. We will not need to refund you as we only take payment after a job is completed. The blocked estimated amount on your card will be released straight away after the booking is cancelled.

Our system doesn’t offer this option at the moment. However, if you prefer to book a previous cleaner please leave a comment as you book. If the eMopper is available at the day and time requested in your booking, we will ask this person to accept your booking. Should you wish to have regular bookings with a preferred cleaner, please refer to the Cleaning Plans section on our website.

When you book the service, our system estimates the duration of the cleaning. However, each property is different. That is why cleaners are asked to work within the estimated time plus one hour. If the cleaner requires more time for the cleaning than the system has estimated plus the one hour, she/he will inform us and you about this. If you do not  want to go ahead with the extra time that the cleaner needs, then you can choose to ask the cleaner to stop, when the estimated time plus one hour ends. In this case, she/he may not be able to complete the cleaning of all of the rooms that you originally booked, which will explain the incomplete service.

If you wish to book a clean on a regular basis, we offer you More flexible options. Please follow Pricing.

Our platform doesn’t allow to choose a gender of the cleaner in order to avoid any discrimination. However, if there is any reason you prefer a female or male cleaner to work in your home, please make a comment about your requirements in the booking. Cleaners can see your comments and pick up your job according to your preferences.

At the moment you can change the comments in your upcoming bookings and write everything you require: please add info about extra rooms or instructions about how to get to your property. Please be aware that the eMop system charges clients for the real duration of the cleaning which is likely to be more than the estimate in this case. However, if the cleaner has bookings after yours, then they may not be able to give you any additional time.

If you wish to have regular bookings with a preferred cleaner, please leave a comment on the last step of the booking process. In case the cleaner is sick or on holiday, we guarantee a replacement.

If you wish to limit your booking by a certain time, please note that we cannot guarantee that we will be able to clean all spaces indicated in the booking. Please give the cleaner instructions about your requirements.

When you made a booking, our system estimated how much time we need to clean your property. Then, when the job was completed, we charged you according to the real time an eMopper worked. Therefore, the final payment can be less or more than the estimated amount.  eMoppers are allowed to work estimated time plus one more hour. If they need more time, they must with the customer and ask eMop support update to the time of the booking. This information is provided in confirmation emails sent to the client.

We send a text message to the client when the job begins and when the job ends. In a case where you don’t agree with these timings, please get in touch with us at support@emop.world and we will update the time spent according to your records. Incorrect timings can appear due to an eMopper’s poor Internet reception when selecting to ‘Start’ or ‘Finish’ the job on our App, meaning the data was written incorrectly to our system.

The bonus for reaching KPIs is paid once a month at the first week of a new month. The bonus amount will be added to your account and included in your payment.

In this case, we will try to arrange a new booking at your convenience. In addition, a compensation will be added to your account automatically for the inconvenience.

We do our best to make our clients happy and keep working on improving the quality of our service. However, if you are not satisfied with how your home was cleaned, please, let us know as soon as possible and tell us what exactly went wrong. Please write to our Support Desk, and attach photos to show us exactly what was wrong. Be advised that we cannot accept complaints later than 48 hours after the cleaning took place. After the investigation of the case, we may send one of our supervisors to re-clean the missed areas for free. eMop doesn’t provide any refunds for our service, that is why we strongly recommend:

• If you are at home during the cleaning, always check how the job was done at the end of the cleaning. The cleaner will clean the places that you thought were not cleaned well enough again at your request.
• If you are not home at the end of cleaning it might be more difficult to prove that the job was done incorrectly. Please be sure someone can check how the cleaning was done before the cleaner leaves your home.

Cleaners are required to maintain a high level of professionalism at all times. If the cleaner acted unprofessionally, that can have a negative effect on our clients’ trust. We apologize for this and encourage you to contact us ASAP by email and include a detailed description of what went wrong together with pictures etc.

We understand that your time is valuable.  If the cleaner is late, they are requested to inform the customer to avoid the inconvenience.

We highly appreciate your cooperation. If you can still contact the cleaner over the phone, that would be the fastest way to return their things. If not, contact our Support Desk and we’ll sort it out for you.
