What Almost No One Knows About Services

Considerations for Choosing a Reputable Cleaning Service

Keeping our homes clean and tidy can be an endless task that requires a good chunk of our spare time. If it feels like your life has only revolved around household chores, like mopping floors, dusting, vacuuming, etc., it might be time to hire a home cleaning service.

Staffed by expert cleaners, maid services offer a whole range of options, such as weekly or biweekly cleanings, one-shot cleaning for special occasions and special services for garage or basement cleaning.

Of course, at the end of the day, the results boil down to the quality of the house cleaning service you hire. Below are tips that can help you choose the best service for your needs:

Interviewing Different Prospects
6 Facts About Tips Everyone Thinks Are True

Before choosing a certain cleaning service, you should interview a number of providers. Ask for client references and talk to them. Remember that your house cleaners will be spending time in your house. You shouldn’t just be comfortable with them; you should be able to trust them, especially when you’re not looking.

Cleaning Supply Policies

Usually, house cleanings will bring their own cleaning supplies (cleaning solutions, vacuums, brooms, etc.), but there are services that require you to provide your own. To make things easier, simply ask them outright. If they actually provide their own materials and someone in your family has hypersensitivity issues, make sure to tell them in advance.

Defining Areas to Be Cleaned

It’s always good to spend time making a short note on the areas of your house that you would like them to clean. If you have any special requests, you should inform them in advance, and you should also know ahead of time whether or not these requests can be accommodated.

Special Charges Related to Type of Residence

There are cases where the type of home you have will have a bearing on how much your final charges will be. If you live in a condominium or apartment, for example, your cleaner may be required to get a special permit or clearance to be able to enter the premises. If you live in a duplex or townhouse, parking can be a problem for the cleaner, especially if there are many other units you share a single complex with. Another factor can be a house being part of a gated community. Like most people, you probably hate being surprised with a heftier bill, so make sure to ask about this beforehand.

Discussing Payments in Advance

Lastly, make it a point to talk about payments with your cleaning service prior to committing to them – yes, even prior to the first cleaning. They may already have an established system, or you may have to make your own proposal. What’s important is, both sides are clear on the prices, the schedule of payments, and the particular services to be rendered.
