Getting the best out of professional cleaning services

If you are new to the idea of engaging a cleaning services professional, you may be wondering about a number of things: for example, how best to choose between one company and another, or one individual and another; how much you should be paying for the cleaning services overall; how many hours you should allow for the work to be done, and how frequently you need visits.

To be honest, there's really no need to be concerned about this sort of thing. Your first task is to assess what you want done and how often and work out, whether on paper or simply in your head, what sort of work is involved. To do this, just go over in your head what you would be doing if you were doing the work yourself. It should be possible for house cleaning professionals to do the job to your standards in less time, or to do a better job in the same time; after all, they are the professionals. And they won't be distracted by other duties around the house, or at the beck and call of their family. Add up the hours it would take you to do the work, and that's how long you should be paying a cleaning services company for.

Your second task is to begin getting quotes. Many house cleaning companies are happy to quote a ballpark figure on the phone, say, how much their average charge is for a 3-bedroom house, or a 2-bedroom flat. You can also get a good idea from even a brief conversation as to whether or not each house cleaning company is one with which you would be happy dealing. If a receptionist is unhelpful or rude, there's a very good chance that similar attitudes are rife throughout the company. Remember, you will be allowing individual employees of the cleaning services company into your own home, and you may be there at the same time they are. You're going to want to be dealing with people you are comfortable with, both personally and administratively.

The third task before engaging a professional house cleaning company is to invite those in whom you feel confident to visit your home and give you a more accurate quote. It's best only to book one or two appointments at a time, as you may find a cleaning services company you like almost immediately. Try to have your home reasonably tidy for the appointment, as this makes it easier for a visitor to assess what is needed. When you are showing the person around your home, try to explain as clearly as you can what it is you want from them in terms of house cleaning, but be open to suggestions as well. It might work best to have the whole house done once a week, or once a month, but it might be worth considering having just one or two rooms cleaned each visit, really thoroughly. Listen to the house cleaning professionals, and consider the options. You will thus begin the relationship on a footing of mutual respect. Long may it continue!
