Payment safety is one of the most important protections we provide to our team and to our clients. With the rise of scam attempts targeting house cleaners and independent workers, Juliana’s Pristine Cleaning follows strict Cleaning Payment Safety guidelines to keep every transaction safe, verified, and fully transparent.
Over the past year, there has been a significant increase in payment-related scams across the United States targeting house cleaners, handymen, gig workers, and small service businesses.
The most common scam involves offering an attractive job with advance payment using a cashier check — which later turns out to be fraudulent. Once it is deposited, the bank initially shows the balance, but days later reverses it, leaving the victim with financial loss.
At Juliana’s Pristine Cleaning, we take Cleaning Payment Safety seriously. We follow strict payment guidelines to protect both our clients and our team.
Why Cleaning Payment Safety Matters
Payment scams do not only affect cleaners — they affect homeowners too. Scammers often impersonate “new residents,” “property managers,” or “families moving into town.” Their intention is to push a fake check into circulation and disappear before the scam is detected.
- Protects clients from fraudulent interactions
- Prevents financial loss to cleaners
- Ensures ethical, transparent business practices
- Builds trust between service providers and families
That’s why strict Cleaning Payment Safety measures are essential.

We do NOT accept:
- Cashier checks

Recognizing Scam Attempts
Here are the most common signs of payment scams targeting house cleaners:
- Message from an out-of-state phone number
- Offering unusually high payments
- Claiming to be “out of town”
- Insisting on paying with a cashier check
- Requesting a cleaning before move-in
- Trying to pay in advance before meeting
- Overly formal or robotic phrasing
If a message sounds too good to be true — it probably is.
