How to Find the Best Professional Cleaning Company

Did you know that, on average, homeowners spend 90 minutes per day on household activities like chores, maintenance and cleaning, and yard work? Renters spent, on average, 67 minutes doing the same.

If you are stuck in this never-ending loop of wanting your house clean, but never having enough time to do so, then you will want to hire a professional cleaning company. But you can’t just Google ‘professional cleaning company near me’ and hire the first one that pops up on search results.

Read on for some tips on how to find the best professional cleaning company for your specific needs.

Make Sure To Ask Them Questions

When you are calling around to find the best cleaners for you, ensure you ask each shortlisted candidate some important questions. Some questions that should be on your list are:

• What kind of cleaning services do you offer?
• How do you screen your employees?
• Which services cost extra and which are included?
• Do you bring your cleaning supplies or do I need to provide you with specialized tools and products?
• Can I see references for your work from previous or current clients?
• What happens if I am not happy with your work, do I get my money back?
• How many cleaners would clean my home at one time?
• What if I’m not at home when the cleaners arrive?

As you can see, these questions are just the starting point. Once you have answers to these questions, you will have a better idea of how the professional cleaning company functions. And if they would be a fit for your lifestyle.

Check Out Online Reviews On The Cleaning Service

You can ask for reviews from the cleaning company, but you should also do your due diligence online. Check out Google or other reputable review sites and see how the cleaning service shows up on it.

Do they have a lot of positive reviews with a smattering of negative ones? You don’t want only positive reviews for a company because that would be a little too suspicious. No company is perfect and there will always be people who find fault with them no matter how well they do their job.

But you also don’t want too many negative reviews. This is because it would mean that either the cleaners don’t care about doing a good job or there is some other underlying issue.

You could also bring up negative reviews with the cleaning company and ask them what it was all about. This could give you the truth behind the story and help you see the cleaning company in a positive light.

Hire Cleaners With Credentials, Certifications, And Insurance

Many homeowners end up hiring the cousin of the floral shop that they buy their weekly daisies from. Or something like that. But then they have issues because the cleaner isn’t certified, experienced, or insured.

Avoid all that hassle by staying away from one-man shops. Professional cleaning companies that have years of experience, who have professional credentials and certifications, and who are insured, are the best way to go.

This way you won’t have to worry about liability issues, or about someone stealing cash or other valuables from your dresser drawer. You also will be able to ask for a different cleaning person, if the one you got isn’t doing a good enough job.

Have A Trial Period With The Best Cleaners On Your Shortlist

You probably have two or three professional cleaning companies on your shortlist. Maybe one of them is the best of the bunch. Before committing to them, ask them if you could have a trial period.

This way you can try the professional cleaning company and see if their cleaning style and work schedule fits yours. You might think that you have found the best cleaners on the market. But what if they end up doing a perfunctory job no matter how many times you complain.

Avoid this mishap by using trial periods. At the end of the trial period, if you are satisfied, you can go ahead with the cleaning service. If not, you can move down to the next cleaning company on your list and try them out.

Offer Them Feedback On What They Do Right And Not

Every person cleans differently and perhaps you have some ideas in your head of what a clean house looks like. Make sure to share your expectations with the cleaning crew before they begin the job.

If they don’t know your expectations, they can’t possibly fulfill them. Don’t assume that they will be able to read your mind and do a perfect job.

Also, if they are doing something wrong, then give them kind feedback on it, so they can improve the next time around.

Do not, in any situation, be unkind, cruel, or abusive towards the cleaners. You will be blacklisted by that company and your reputation will spread far and wide as an employer to avoid.

The Best Professional Cleaning Company Is Worth Its Weight In Gold

When you find a professional cleaning company that does its job properly, you will want to hold on to them as if they were more precious than gold. Because they truly are.

Not only is it hard to find a good cleaning service, but it’s hard to find someone that meshes well with your needs and desires.
