Move in/Move out Cleaning Terms
We cannot guarantee our Move in/Move out Cleaning service when people or personal possessions are still present in the property during or after the time of the cleaning.

Where belongings are present, our cleaning guarantee will not apply to that area.
Fridges and freezers should be emptied and defrosted prior to our arrival and turned off so we can clean them. We will not be liable for cleaning freezers which have not been defrosted in advance.
Garbage or waste removal is not part of our Move in/Move out Cleaning Service, should you need the removal or clearance of bulky items, you shall organize with us and we will happily provide that service to you.
The Client is to ensure that running water and electricity is provided and that there are no blocked drains.
Price quoted is based on one single fridge/freezer and one single oven. Duplicated appliances will incur a further cost to clean.
Ladders and step stools that are required to reach high areas, vacuum cleaners, mops and buckets are to be provided by the Client.
Cleaning of walls, mould on walls and ceilings, is not part of our Move in/Move out Cleaning checklist. Wall washing needs to be added at the time of making a booking.
Cancellation Policy

You can cancel your booking free of charge if you allow 48 hours and more before the starting of the job. Send an email to admin@mrbucket.lu
Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays won’t be taken into account as notice period.

Regular Client by Contract Agreement
The company offers the possibility to adhere to a contract as an option to One-Time cleaning.
Weekly and fortnightly clients may receive special promotions, discounted rates for special requests called “extras” and benefits for participating in referral schemes. The initial duration of the contract for first-time clients is 3 months. This period could be considered a “trial period” to see whether the Company fits the clients’ needs, and the client may opt out of the agreement within the 3-months trial period, without any financial penalty. Without written expression of the client’s desire to terminate the contract, tacit renewal is applied after the third month.
For returning former clients, the 3-months “trial period” does not apply, contract agreement is deemed indefinite from the start unless client expressly opts out of it and respects a 2-months period.
Once the contract has become indefinitely, clients may terminate a contract respecting a 2-months notice period. This communication can take place via email to clients@mrbucket.lu or by sending a letter to the company’s headquarters. The company will send a confirmation email as aknowledgment of receipt. The notice period always starts on the 1st day of the month following the cancellation by the client.
Payment and Lack Thereof
Termination of an existing contract does not exonerate a client from charges incurred in services already performed.
Invoices are sent by email to the email address provided by the client. Payments methods accepted by the Company are; Credit card, PayPal and Bank transfer, being the latter strongly recommended.
For One-time clients not bound by a contract, payment is due at the end of the service. The Invoice is due for payment no later than seven (7) days of the Company’s issuance of the invoice.
For Regular clients, invoice is due for payment at the end of the month, unless other date has been agreed upon between the Company and the client.
Where the client is represented by a third party (such as a managing agent, contractor, or another representative), in the event of non-payment by the client, the third party will be responsible for payment.
Clients will incur late payment interests in case the payment is not received in the timeframe previously set out. Legal rules in force at the time of the late payment will apply.
In the case of private clients, late payment penalties of 4,5% per invoice and per month are due the day after the due date and without a reminder being necessary. Sending a registered letter is not required to trigger the right to collect these late penalties. The Company may also obtain the reimbursement of debt recovery costs to cover legal fees, in addition to late-payment interest.
For professional clients, the late payment interest rate equals to the legal interest rate applicable to commercial transactions increased by 2%. The current legal interest rate is 12%. The late payment interests will be claimed after one (1) month by the Company without any reminders. A lump sum of 200€ wil be additionally charged as recovery costs plus legal fees.
Non-solicitation of Personnel
Except with the Company’s prior consent, the client may not, directly, or indirectly via an intermediary entity, solicit, poach or hire any person employed or engaged by the Company. This prohibition is valid for the duration of the contract, as well as for a period of 12 months from the date of termination of the contract. A lump-sum indemnity amounting to twelve (12) months’ gross full-time salary for the employee concerned will be payable by the client in breach of the foregoing clause. For the calculation of this compensation, the last salary paid to this employee prior to the end of his employment contract will be taken as a reference.
