Keep Calm and Clean On: How to Hire a House Cleaner for Your Home

Not all house cleaning services are created equal. Here’s how to hire a great house cleaner for your home!

You’re a homeowner in Brooklyn, New York. You have a busy professional life as well as a busy personal life – and you can’t be wasting your precious time on the weekend cleaning.

In fact, unlike some people who may find cleaning stress-relieving, you dread cleaning your bathroom and mopping the kitchen floor with every fiber of your being.

Enter a professional cleaning service who can do all of those things for you, while also giving you more time to do the things you actually enjoy.

It sounds like a win-win – if you ask us. But, how do you find a house cleaner that fits your budget, is trustworthy and will do a great job?

In this short and sweet blog post, we’ll teach you how to find (and hire) the house cleaning company of your dreams.

Let’s get down to business!

Determine What You Want to Have Cleaned

Are you looking for regular cleaning services or intensive ones such as cleaning under the bed?

Before moving on to the next step, make a list of what areas you want the cleaner to focus on so you can ensure nothing gets missed. Communicate these things to the cleaner once you have made a decision.

Research, Research, Research

When it comes to soliciting a service, doing your research is essential to ensure that you are not disappointed or frustrated by the end result.

To get started, visit the Better Business Bureau website and search within your state. There, you’ll find rated providers that you know you can trust.

If you still haven’t found what you’re looking for, you can always look to family and friends for their recommendations, too.

Once you have a few providers in mind, contact each of them for quotes.

Give the Cleaner a Full Tour

When you have found a cleaner that fits your budget and has excellent reviews, it’s time to give them a tour of your lovely home.

Be sure to point out any troubling areas that will require additional effort, and review your list with the cleaner – making sure they are clear on what you want them to handle.

After the tour concludes, give the cleaner space to do their job. It’s a great excuse to head out to your favorite cafe or coffee shop to unwind!

Inspect Their Work

Now that the job is complete, it’s time to inspect your home to determine whether the cleaner has serviced your home to your expectations, or if you will need to file a complaint.

If you are happy with the result, be sure to leave a tip. Remember: cleaning is a service – just as paying someone to make your coffee or cut your hair is. Tipping is a respectful way of thanking a provider for their service, no matter what it is.
