Understanding Payment Withholding for Refunds

Cleopatra’s Happy or Free Guarantee ensures every client is satisfied. In rare cases where a refund is issued, payment may be withheld only if the issue was caused by poor performance.

When Payment May Be Withheld

Payment may be withheld if a client receives a full or partial refund because the cleaning didn’t meet Cleopatra’s professional standards. Examples include:

  • Missed areas or incomplete tasks

  • Rushed work or lack of attention to detail

  • Laziness or failure to follow the Cleopatra Method™

  • Clear client dissatisfaction caused by poor-quality service

When Payment Is Not Withheld

You will still be paid if the issue is beyond your control. Examples include:

  • Scheduling or pricing errors

  • Client expectations outside the booked service

  • Unreasonable or unrelated complaints

  • Minor issues that could be fixed with a touch-up or re-clean

How Cleopatra Reviews Refund Cases

  • Support reviews the client’s feedback, booking notes, and any photos provided

  • CleoCrew members may be asked to share their side of the situation

  • A fair decision is made based on all available details

How to Protect Yourself

  • Always follow the Cleopatra Method™ for consistent, high-quality cleaning

  • Double-check your work before leaving the client’s home

  • Read and follow booking notes and special instructions carefully

  • Communicate clearly if something cannot be completed

  • Contact Cleopatra support immediately if any challenges come up

Cleopatra only withholds payment when there’s clear evidence of poor performance. Every case is reviewed carefully and fairly to protect both clients and CleoCrew members.
