Best Tips for Employing the Proper House Cleaning Professionals

When you employ a contractor to clean your home, you’re planning on letting them into your most intimate spaces. That requires a good amount of assurance and trust that you are employing a first-rate, ethical housekeeping service. Property owners and renters can play their part by coming up with the correct questions and engaging in research before signing on the dotted line with a housekeeping professional.

Take the following actions to educate yourself on housekeeping companies and find one that’s a great service to meet your needs.

  • Read customer feedback. Do not stress about a single bad review or a few odd remarks. Instead, read numerous reviews and look for trends. If multiple clients mention how happy they are with a company’s quality and customer service, the one client who was not thrilled may be an odd one out. However, if numerous people report unresolved problems, that may be a cause for alarm.
  • Search for referrals. Ask family members and friends for suggestions. If they contracted a housekeeping service in the past and were content with the work, that might mean they’re a great choice for you.
  • Check the Better Business Bureau listing. Look for unresolved and serious issues on the Better Business Bureau webpage. They can indicate another kind of red flag when contracting any type of professional.
  • Ask potential housekeeping services about employing methods. Working with cleaning companies that perform background screenings on staff members will guarantee you feel safer permitting those employees into your home.
  • Question possible home cleaning companies about the cleaning materials they use. If you have pets or children—or are simply concerned about the environment or overall wellness—you might want to employ a service that only utilizes nontoxic or eco-friendly chemicals.

Engaging in a bit of homework upfront to ensure you contract the first-rate cleaning company in New Orleans might increase the possibility of a happy result.

Prices for Home Cleaning Services

Home cleaning businesses may charge hourly or per job for specific types of work. If a job might take a long time to complete or need more complex work, it usually costs more than standard house cleaning services. The best way to find out about cleaning prices in New Orleans is to request a quote. You can also review some of the average costs across the country to get an idea of what you might pay.

Typically, it costs $75 to $250 per session for many house cleaning services. Housekeepers sometimes do more than just clean. Some cook and run errands, and homeowners may pay per job or by the hour. In some cases, customers might agree to a weekly or monthly payment for certain services.

Housekeeping companies tend to emphasize only cleaning duties. Price points run, on average, $125 to $240 per visit. If you need to hire a business for deep cleaning or one-off projects, you might pay $400 or more, depending on the scope of the job.

You might also pay for house cleaning services via an a la carte menu, paying for only the specific cleaning work you need. For example, the average price for gutter cleaning is $160, and the median charge for cleaning exterior siding is $280.

  • Keeping your home clean is a task that never seems to end, and it can take up most of your free time. Instead of spending your weekends mopping and dusting, consider hiring a housekeeper or cleaning service.
  • Unless a housekeeper performs specific duties regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency or your state or local government, no specific licensing is usually required to become a housekeeper. However, you’ll want to work with a professional who can pass a background check and has a current business license, liability insurance and a surety bond. You’ll also want to select someone who has the experience and can provide references, or someone who has received some professional training from a cleaning company.
  • Keep in mind when hiring any type of professional to clean your home that each state has its own requirements for licensing. You can use Home Advisor’s Contractor Licensing Requirements State-By-State guide to learn more. You can also learn more about the extensive screening process we use when allowing businesses to join our network.

When you hire a housekeeper or cleaning service, there are some questions you’ll need to ask to ensure you’re hiring the right person for the job. Writing down a list of services you want to be completed is a great place to start. This way, you’ll have all the information you need when you do interview a housekeeper or cleaning service, and they can provide you with accurate information and cost estimates.

What Services Do You Offer?

Find out upfront if the housekeeper or cleaning company offers the services you need, especially if you have requests that go beyond basic services.

How Do You Come Up With Your Rates?

Do they charge a flat fee each week? Do they charge an hourly rate? Some companies charge based on your home’s square footage or the number of bedrooms you have.

Do You Provide Your Own Supplies?

Many companies may provide some smaller cleaning supplies, but they may need to use your vacuum cleaner or mop. Others bring their own or none at all. And if you’re particular about the types of chemicals used in your home, you may want to ask what products they use or if they’re willing to use what you provide.

What Happens if Something Goes Wrong?

Anytime you have a professional in your home, something could go wrong. They could get hurt, or some of your property may be damaged. Ask what would happen in these scenarios — a well-qualified professional will have the necessary insurance and bonding to cover these situations.
