Housework Regular Clean cancellation.

After the initial four cleans have taken place, you may cancel further cleans. However cancellations with less than 24 hours notice will results in the full charge being made.
For cancellations between 24 hours and 48 hours notice, a 50% charge will be made.
Housework One-Off Clean cancellation.
