If you think hiring a professional cleaning service is expensive, try hiring an independent cleaner and see how costly that can be. A professional cleaning service is usually bonded, insured, and well-established. While starting a service-based business is easy, it takes commitment and skill to maintain it. Professional companies like ours hire only employees who have been vetted and background-checked to ensure that only trustworthy people are in your home. Make sure you do your homework and ask questions about who you let into your home. It’s important to understand the service they will provide, their liability coverage, and their level of experience. This can prevent costly issues.

Throughout our many years in business, we have heard many concerns from customers about hiring a professional cleaning service. Damages to their homes occurred because the housekeeper they hired was not properly trained on what to use or simply refused to accept responsibility for the damages, leaving the customers with unexpected expenses. Another common and unfavorable outcome is the liability of someone being injured while cleaning your home, which could cost you thousands of dollars in medical bills. If the person is not an employee of someone else, they are technically your employee, which means you are responsible for their payroll taxes.

Never be afraid to request references. This will give you peace of mind that they are trustworthy and capable of accepting feedback while providing the service you were promised. The last thing you want is to invite someone who is untrustworthy and takes advantage of you. Hiring a professional cleaning service like ours will give you peace of mind that you will not be held liable for any injuries, damages, losses, payroll taxes, or the responsibility of managing a cleaner.
