Hi! We are Slate.

Yep. Most people want to use their own products, but we can help keep your supplies stocked in two ways: First, we have a cleaning-kit shopping list to get you started. Second, all our Keepers are trained in using the Amazon Dash wand, so if you want they can scan supplies when you run low and you can reorder whenever you’re ready.

In the first 15 minutes of every day we'll do the same tasks: make beds, tidy up the living room, wash dishes, put clothes away. Then we'll focus on a different area of your home each day — for example, one day we'll deep-clean the kitchen, another day the bathroom, and so on. You can remove any of these default tasks and add custom tasks of your own. Maybe you don't cook often but try on clothes a lot, so we'll focus on putting clothes away in the right place rather than cleaning the kitchen. Whether you prefer to be totally hands-off or have a very clear idea of which tasks need to be done, we can customize our service for you.

When you sign up you'll build your service to fit your budget based on a combination of how often we come and how long we stay each time. If you added any tasks that took longer than what you originally booked for in the week, we'll just add it to your next charge. For example, if your service is 1 hour a day, 5 days a week but you requested additional tasks one day that required another hour, that extra hour will appear on your next invoice. We’ll remind you of this when you add new tasks, so you’ll always know what to expect.

Our Keepers are the most hardworking, dedicated, loyal, kind people you could ever want to take care of your home. We tend to hire for character rather than experience; it's much easier to teach someone how to make a bed than to teach someone how to be proactive, friendly and courteous. We then help each fantastic person become an amazing Keeper through an in-depth two-week training program we developed.
