 |
| Firstly, congratulations! The benefits of
having someone to clean for you are fantastic:
a clean home and time to spend with your family,
friends or just time for you. |
| |
| But there are things that you need to consider. |
| |
| Cleaning is very personal and hiring a domestic
cleaning company means allowing a stranger
into your home. |
| |
|
|
|
| Probably many questions are going around your
head like “Nobody cleans my home like me.”
or “what happens if something goes wrong?”
or “Can I afford it?” or “How
will they know what I need doing?” |
| |
|
 |
| Here’s a checklist of things that
your cleaner or cleaning company must have.
Anything less and you will be cutting corners!
When you interview a cleaner or speak to a
cleaning company you must get answers to the
following: |
 |
The most important feature is that
you need to know that your cleaner has
been vetted. If you are going to employ
a local cleaner you must ensure that
you know who they are and that you can
trust them! |
| |
|
 |
Is the cleaner insured if they have
an accident in your home? Is the cleaner
insured if they break something of yours?
Are they and their company fully insured?
If not, you might need to be! |
| |
|
 |
Who will pay the cleaner's national
insurance and holiday pay? Unless they
are employed by a company full time,
it could be you! |
| |
|
|
|
|
 |
Can they clean? Will they clean? What happens
if they do not provide the quality cleaning that
you expect? Training is vital. Cleaning done professionally
to a good method is usually quicker and thorough,
saving you time and money and enhancing the experience. |
| |
|
 |
What type of vacuum cleaners do they use? If they
do not use HEPA filter vacuum cleaners they will
just be re-circulating dust and dirt (and may be
other customers' dust and dirt) around your home. |
| |
|
 |
Do they have a secure and insured key holding
service? This may be important to you. If you lead
a busy life, on top of your other work and family
committments should you really have to sit at home
just to watch the cleaners do their work? |
| |
|
 |
Are the cleaners flexible? You may find that your
working schedule changes, your requirements change
(you might need extra ironing or you have booked
a holiday, etc). You want the service to match your
needs. A flexible cleaning service that is tailor-made
to suit your cleaning requirements. |
| |
|
 |
Some companies require a long-term commitment
from you. Even a local cleaner will have employment
rights! Other cleaning companies work with a small
notice period. |
| |
|
 |
What kinds of cleaning products is a cleaner introducing
into your home? Do you have children and pets you
need to worry about? Your home should be cleaned
with environmentally-friendly products. |
| |
|
 |
If it doesn’t work out, can you complain?
Would you complain? Many companies offer a satisfaction
guarantee and have somebody, other than the cleaner,
that you can discuss the matter with. You can always
tell a professional cleaning company that you will
get good customer service from; they answer the
phone during office hours! |
