What Do Housekeeping Companies Do?

Housekeeping pros provide various types of services. You can choose a home cleaning professional to provide you with a deep seasonal cleaning or make an arrangement with a service to handle general cleaning requirements. Choosing the best cleaning company requires choosing what sort of housekeeping services you need.

A popular choice for many households in search of a cleaner is everyday housekeeping. A cleaning company deploys individuals out weekly, several times per week, or every day, determined by your needs. These cleaners provide services like dusting, cleaning floors, wiping down surfaces, cleaning walls, and cleaning tubs, toilets, and sinks in the bathroom.

One option many people choose is a single deep cleaning of the home. Instead of contracting a house cleaning company for regular services, you pay a single fee for cleaning that addresses the entire home. Customers can choose this service to ensure their home is ready to be put on the market or to make sure they can present a pristine house during a family get-together.

Discuss your home cleaning preferences with a potential home cleaning service to learn more about what it offers. Some companies go above and beyond by offering options for pressure washing exterior siding, or cleaning pools. Customers might also discover a business that will do laundry or cook meals.

What Customers Might Pay for Home Cleaning Services

Housekeeping professionals usually charge either by the hour or via a flat rate for specific types of work. If a job is likely to take a long time to complete or require more complex work, it typically costs more when compared to everyday housekeeping services. The most accurate way to get to know more about house cleaning costs in New York is to request an estimate. You might also consider reviewing some average cleaning service costs across the country to get an idea of what you might pay.

On average, it will cost you $75 to $250 per session for many house cleaning services. Housekeeping professionals may do work beyond the scope of cleaning. Some cleaners also cook or do laundry, and customers might pay per job or by the hour. In some scenarios, customers might sign a contract for a weekly or monthly rate for specific cleaning work.

Housekeeping businesses generally emphasize only cleaning tasks. Prices run, on average, $125 to $240 per visit. If you need to hire a company for deep cleaning or special work, you may pay $400 or more, depending on how big the job is.

You might also pay for cleaning services via an a la carte setup, buying only the particular cleaning services you want. As an example, the average charge for gutter cleaning is $160, and the median price 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.
