Common Services Local House Cleaning Companies Offer

Cleaning and housekeeping companies offer several sorts of services. You can find a home cleaning company to provide you with a deep one-off cleaning or sign up with a company to handle daily home cleaning requirements. Locating the right cleaning company requires choosing what type of home cleaning services you need.

Day-to-Day Housekeeping Assistance

House cleaning businesses often offer options to help you keep up with cleaning on a daily schedule. You might schedule housekeepers to visit your home weekly or several times a week to do everyday cleaning needs including:

  • Sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping
  • Dusting and wiping down counters and surfaces
  • Spot cleaning windows and walls
  • Sanitizing and cleaning sinks, toilets, and tubs

Several cleaning providers may also assist with chores like ironing or laundry.

In-Depth Cleaning To Prepare for a Big Day

Lots of homeowners schedule a housekeeping company to prep their residence or other areas before a big event, move, home sale, or holiday. For instance, you can hire a housekeeping service to deep clean your home subsequent to the arrival of holiday guests or to make sure your place looks its best before you place it on the market.

One-off housekeeping services typically reach past everyday activities. Cleaning personnel might:

  • Move kitchen appliances, like dishwashers and refrigerators, so they can clean behind them.
  • Clean all windows, walls, and baseboards.
  • Pressure wash outdoor walkways and surfaces.
  • Take care of stains or other areas that regular housekeeping might miss.

Cleaning Services

Many housekeeping companies offer specialty services. These services can include using a pressure washer on a home’s exterior or cleaning lawns, swimming pools, or other features that aren’t part of the actual home.

What Homeowners Might Have to Pay for House Cleaning Services

Home cleaning professionals may charge for services hourly or via flat rates for each type of cleaning work. If a job may take a long time to complete or require more special skills or equipment, it typically costs more than everyday house cleaning services. The most accurate way to get to know more about housekeeping prices in Houston is to ask for an estimate. You might also consider reviewing the average costs across the country to get an idea of what you might pay.

On average, it costs $75 to $250 per session for many cleaning services. Housekeepers might do more than just clean. Some cleaners also cook or do laundry, and you might pay per job or by the hour. Sometimes, you may agree to a weekly or monthly rate for specific cleaning work.

Housekeeping businesses usually emphasize only cleaning duties. Price points run, on average, $125 to $240 per visit. If you want to hire a company for deep cleaning or one-off jobs, you may pay $400 or more, depending on how big the job is.

You may also pay for housekeeping services via an a la carte setup, buying just the particular cleaning tasks you want. For instance, the median charge for gutter cleaning is $160, and the typical charge for cleaning exterior siding is $280.

Professional Cleaning Service

  • 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.
