CLAIMS Cleaning Duty has a public and employer’s liability insurance. The policy will cover any accidental damages caused by an operative working on behalf of Cleaning Duty. The customer accepts and understands that poor service, breakage/damage or theft must be reported within 24 hours from our service date. Failure to do so will entitle customer to nothing.
