Popular Services Local Cleaning Businesses Provide

Housekeeping pros deliver various kinds of cleaning services. You can choose a housekeeping company to give your space an in-depth spring cleaning or make an arrangement with a company to tackle basic cleaning requirements. Choosing the right cleaning professional requires choosing what type of home cleaning services you need.

A popular option for most households in search of help with cleaning is daily housekeeping. A cleaning service deploys cleaning professionals out once a week, a few times per week, or daily, based on your preferences. The individuals offer services such as wiping down surfaces, cleaning floors, dusting, cleaning walls, and cleaning tubs, toilets, and sinks in the bathroom.

An option many people select is a single deep cleaning. Instead of contracting a house cleaning company for standard services, you might choose to pay a single fee for cleaning that covers your whole home. Customers might choose this option to ensure their home is ready to be put on the market or to ensure they can present a pristine house during a family get-together.

Review your cleaning preferences with a potential housekeeping company to find out what it can do for you. Some businesses distinguish themselves by providing options for pressure washing outside the home, or cleaning pools. Customers may also find a business that will do laundry or provide cooking services.

What You Might Need to Pay for House Cleaning Services

Cleaning professionals usually charge for services hourly or via flat rates for each type of cleaning work. If a job may take a long time or require more hard work, skills, or equipment, it usually costs more than standard housekeeping services. The best way to learn about house cleaning prices in Alexandria is to get a quote. You can also review some average cleaning service costs across the country to get an idea of potential costs.

Generally, it may cost $75 to $250 per session for most house cleaning services. Housekeeping professionals sometimes do work beyond the scope of cleaning. Some cook and run errands, and homeowners may pay by the job or an hourly rate. Sometimes, customers might sign a contract for a weekly or monthly rate for specific cleaning work.

Home cleaning companies usually emphasize only cleaning tasks. Prices run, on average, $125 to $240 per session. If you plan to hire a service for deep cleaning or one-off projects, you might pay $400 or more, based on the scope of the job.

You may also pay for cleaning services via an a la carte system, paying for only the specific cleaning work you need. For example, the average cost for gutter cleaning is $160, and the typical cost 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.
