Questions to Ask Yourself Before You Hire A Cleaning Service

Cleaning companies offer different services, schedules, and price points. Before you can ask them for a price, you need to know what need. Ask yourself the following:

• How often should my house be cleaned?
• Can I afford a cleaning service? How often?
• What rooms need the most attention?
• What days are most convenient for my schedule?
• Do I care what kinds of cleaning products or chemicals are used?

Questions to Ask When Choosing a Cleaning Service

Now that you know what you want out of a cleaning service, it’s time to call and ask potential housekeepers a few questions. Things like:

• Do I need to leave specific instructions?
• What is included in the clean?
• What isn’t included?
• Do I need to think about pet and childcare during the cleaning visit?
• Do you have your own equipment, or will I be responsible for having a vacuum, brooms, cleaning cloths, cleaning products, etc.?
• Do you offer a 100% money-back guarantee?
• Is your company bonded and insured?
• Who will be cleaning my home? Will I get a chance to meet them?
