Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Shine Pro cleaning services in Pittsburgh.
Booking & Access
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
No — most clients provide a key or door code. We are fully insured and background-checked so you can trust us in your home.
How do I book a cleaning?
Fill out our free estimate form — it takes under 2 minutes and we'll send your custom quote the same day. You can also call or text (412) 447-8047, Mon–Sat, 8am–6pm.
When is my appointment confirmed?
Sending the form is an estimate request, not a booking. We contact you by your preferred method to agree on a date and time, and your appointment is confirmed once you receive our confirmation by text or email.
Do I need a contract?
No. There are no long-term contracts — book a single clean or a recurring plan. No contracts, no surprises.
What's your cancellation policy?
Plans are flexible: you can reschedule with 24 hours' notice. Just call, text, or email us.
What We Do
Do you bring your own supplies and equipment?
Yes — we bring all cleaning supplies and professional equipment. You do not need to provide anything.
What's the difference between a standard clean and a deep clean?
Deep cleaning goes beyond surface-level maintenance. We clean inside cabinets, appliances, and tackle built-up grime in areas that standard cleaning does not cover. See the full checklist.
How long does a cleaning take?
It depends on the size of your home and the service. Most 1–2 bedroom Airbnb turnovers are done in under 2 hours, and a deep clean typically takes 4–8 hours. We'll give you an estimate with your quote.
Do you clean if I have pets?
Yes. We use eco-friendly, non-toxic products that are safe for children and pets. Just let us know about your pets when you book.
Trust & Safety
Are your cleaners insured and background-checked?
Yes. Every cleaner passes a thorough background check before their first job, and we are fully insured and bonded.
What if I'm not happy with the cleaning?
If anything isn't right, tell us within 24 hours and we'll come back and re-clean it at no charge. See the Shine Pro Promise.
Pricing & Payment
How do I pay, and when am I charged?
After your cleaning you'll receive an invoice, which you can view and pay in My Invoices in your client account. Pricing is flat-rate — what you see is what you pay, with no hidden fees.
Is there a travel fee?
Yes. Only for homes more than 5 miles from Downtown Pittsburgh: those visits have one $25 travel fee, for every service and for each recurring visit. Within 5 miles there's no travel fee. It's added automatically from your address or ZIP code, appears as its own line on your estimate, confirmation and bill, is included in the total, and is never discounted.
Do you offer discounts for recurring service?
Yes — weekly 15% off, biweekly 10% off, and monthly 5% off. The discount is applied automatically to the cleaning price (not to add-ons or the travel fee).
Service Area & Airbnb
What areas of Pittsburgh do you serve?
We cover Pittsburgh and surrounding areas within 20 miles of Downtown. See all service areas.
Do you clean Airbnb properties on same-day turnarounds?
Yes — that's our specialty. We build our schedule around your calendar and can handle tight same-day windows. Just let us know your checkout and check-in times when you book.
