Although we understand that some may think it necessary, we do not allow our cleaners to move heavy furniture.
Our employees’ safety and well-being are very important to us, and we are determined to keep them safe. To prevent injuries, our cleaning technicians are not allowed to:
Climb above a 4-step ladder, move items that weigh more than 20 lbs.;
Clean floors on their hands and knees (with exception of bathroom floors);
