Home Cleaning To Fit Your Needs

In today’s hectic world, who has time to do the chores? Who has time to pick up a broom or a vacuum every morning or every weekend in order to clean up? House cleaning isn’t a luxury anymore but an outright necessity. Thankfully, you have plenty of choices to choose from.

Thankfully, you have the option to call professional cleaning services to keep you covered when your house gets too dirty for you alone to clean.

Before Hiring Remember the Following

If you’re unable to attend to the cleanup of your humble abode or if you need commercial home cleanup services for your room for hire, you can always depend on professional cleaners to get you covered. With that said, you need to keep in mind the following.

1) Know Their Rates for the Sake of Price Comparison:

When you shop for clothes, you look at the price then compare the quality of a cheaper brand compared to a more expensive one, right? This basic tenet of shopping is also necessary when getting home cleaner services. You should know their prices from the get go, even if it’s just an estimate of sorts.

You should find out how much their rates cost as soon as you call them. Luckily, many of these home cleaning and commercial cleaning services give out quotes right from the phone. Or you can find out the costs of such companies through price comparison sites. Barring that, make a price comparison table of your prospective cleaning options.

2) Learn How Their Rates Are Set:

Cleaning companies either charge by the hour or by project. If you were to avail of them on a daily basis, they might give discounts. They can also charge you by the number of employees sent. The more employees sent the more expensive it gets. Individual cleaners cost less because you’re only paying for one cleaner.

Have the cleaning service give you a quote or estimate of the overall price and how long cleaning your home will take. These organizations should give you a flat rate for every visit depending on the cleanliness of your home. If it’s just for the sake of maintaining the cleanliness of your abode, they should offer cheaper rates.

3) Individual Cleaners versus Company Cleaners: You can hire an individual to clean your home versus hiring a cleaning company altogether. Which one should you choose? It depends on how big the job is and how much money you have, but usually most apartments and small houses can be cleaned by one person.

Perhaps you’re busy availing of a music scene evening party package and you won’t be able to attend to your house for a couple of days, necessitating intensive cleanup soon afterwards. Or you can have your party happen in the house itself, necessitating cleanup depending on how wild the celebration gets. In such cases, a major cleaner might be in order.

4) Family-Operated Cleaning Businesses versus Major Cleaning Franchises:

Like with family-operated or Mom and Pop video rental stores versus (former) behemoths like Blockbuster, there are pros and cons to getting either option. Mom and Pop cleaning services lack the many extra benefits that the “McDonalds” of home cleaning services have.

However, local house cleaning services do have an edge on their customization options and establishing a niche consumer base in their locality compared to the national-level cookie-cutter offerings of their bigger competitors. Alas, one person usually won’t be enough to clean up a mansion or a multiple commercial residences (like condominiums and some such).

5) Weigh the Pros and Cons of Every Cleaning Service: When hiring cleaning services for your home, weigh in the pros and cons of each company. It will help you when doing a price comparison for each and every one. For example, hiring individuals is more cost-effective because you’re only paying one guy.

However, you might need to hire a franchise cleaning service to deal with bigger jobs. If you lose an individual cleaner, you’ll have to order a new separate one altogether. In contrast, a franchise usually has a ready replacement if ever one or more of their cleaners are unavailable. A major national cleaning service has even better flexible scheduling as well.

Finally, Get Things into Writing

Get your cleanup contract into writing before letting a home cleaning service enter your residence. Put in things like a cap on the number of hours that cleaners should be in your abode. Get in a “Do not exceed this price” clause into your contract for your own protection. A well-written contract can assist you in avoiding disagreements when push comes to shove.
