Hiring House Cleaners

Five Questions to Ask Cleaning Pros

Big or small, your project is a significant investment. That’s why we recommend interviewing at least three qualified cleaning professionals before making a hiring decision. Ask the following questions to determine whether a pro is the right fit for your project.

Do you bring your own equipment and supplies?

Some cleaning services will expect you to provide some items like special cleaners for hardwood floors. While this isn’t a deal breaker, it’s important to know before making a hiring decision.

Do you screen your employees?

Cleaning services have access to your entire home, which makes having trustworthy employees important. Ask your cleaning pro if they screen or do background checks. Avoid companies who don’t prescreen their cleaners.

What happens if something is broken or damaged?

Most cleaning companies will replace or repair any damaged items in your home. Avoid hiring a cleaning service that doesn’t have a repair or replacement plan.

Is there a type of cleaning you won’t do?

Some cleaning pros won’t tackle certain projects. Be sure your pro is able to complete your project before making a hiring decision.

What cleaning schedules do you offer?

Most cleaning pros offer a variety of schedules, including one-time, weekly, bi-weekly and monthly. Be sure your pro offers the cleaning schedule that works best for you and your family.

How much do house cleaners typically charge?

The average cost to hire a house cleaner is between $25 and $45 per hour, while some home cleaners may be more expensive, there could be cheaper maid options by individuals for less money.
