Cleaners Tips for The Average Joe

Guide to Choosing a Good Cleaning Service Keeping our homes clean and tidy can be an unending chore that takes up a lot of our free 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. Maid services are staffed by trained professional cleaners and offer a range of options, like from regular weekly or biweekly cleanings to special cleanings for “tougher” areas like the basement or garage, and even one-time cleaning for certain occasions. Of course, in the end, the results can only be as good as the house cleaning service you choose. Below are tips that can help you choose the best service for your needs: Interviewing Different Prospects

Cleaning Supply Policies

In most cases, cleaners will come to your home with their own cleaning supplies (brooms, mops, vacuums, cleaning solutions, etc.), but in other instances, they will expect you to provide them. To ensure everything goes well, just ask them. If they do provide their own materials and there is somebody in your household who has allergies, inform them beforehand. 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. The idea is to make sure that the cleaning service knows of any special requests you may have, and is willing to accommodate them. Special Charges Related to Type of Residence Sometimes, your final charges will be affected by the type of home you have. For instance, if you live in an apartment or condominium, your cleaner may have to secure a special permit to enter your unit. 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. If your house is within a gated community, that can be a factor as well. Nobody likes being surprised when it comes to their bill, so this is something you should ask the cleaners 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 have their own established system, or you may be allowed to make suggestions. What’s important is that the two sides are in agreements on the price to be paid, the services to be provided, and the schedule for payment.
