Cleaning is often the last thing that comes to mind in today's busy and stressful and "always-on" world. Coming home to a messy or dirty house can be stressful for those who frequently juggle multiple tasks at once. Hiring a cleaner comes in handy here. However, with so many options in a growing market, it can be difficult to know where to look or which cleaner or cleaning service is right for you.

There are numerous advantages and disadvantages to consider when deciding whether to hire a cleaner privately or through a cleaning company. While hiring an independent cleaner may be less expensive than hiring a company, they may not be as dependable or provide insurance. However, finding a cleaner through a company can be difficult as well, as they are either too expensive or do not have enough staff to take on new clients.

With so many options available, how do you pick the best one for your home? Here are some tips to help you decide and ensure a premium experience that will benefit you in the long run.

Reputation and Reviews

One of the most important factors to consider is the cleaning company's reputation. There are hundreds of businesses, and some take greater pride in keeping their customers satisfied than others. Check Google and Product Review to ensure the company you choose has not only positive reviews but also a large number of reviews to validate their score.

Professional and dependable team

One of the most important factors to consider before hiring a cleaner or company is trustworthiness. The cleaners will spend a significant amount of time inside your home to complete the service, and you won't be able to supervise them at all times. Check the company's website for a "Meet the Team" section to ensure they have an office team to provide the service they promise.

You want to ensure that you hire reputable cleaning companies and trust the cleaners who come to your house. Inquire with any cleaning company you are considering hiring if they have police or working with children checks in place to ensure the safety of your home. A reputable cleaning company will conduct background checks on all of its employees to ensure their honesty and dependability.

Cost Matching The quality

If you are going to spend money on a cleaning company, it is critical that you choose the right one because not all are created equal. Many cleaning companies strive for the "cheapest possible service" and will send out contractors who are paid minimum wage (or less) and have little or no training. The problem is that cleaning actually requires some skill and a lot of hard work. Going with the cheapest company means they have the lowest margins and the lowest paid employees. Low-paid employees have little experience and, as a result, put in little effort and produce poor results. Customers are then extremely dissatisfied with the results, and the house is frequently in worse condition.

Residential house cleaning, unlike overall building or commercial cleaning, should not be a minimum wage job. Like wine, it is often worth paying a few extra dollars to ensure that you are sent an experienced professional rather than someone with a mop and a bucket. The more expensive companies will usually:

  • They are more concerned with their online reputation and will go out of their way to ensure your satisfaction.
  • They pay their cleaners more and thus attract the best cleaners.
  • Provide their employees with more extensive support and systems.
  • Improve your recruitment and safety systems to ensure dependability.

So, if you've decided to hire a company rather than a private cleaner, it's highly recommended that you spend the extra money to hire a high-quality company.

Products and equipment For Cleaning

Another important factor to consider is the products and equipment available to a cleaning company: Do they shop locally? Is there an option for environmentally friendly products? Do they use high-quality tools, or are they looking for ways to save money on tools? Do they have the necessary equipment to perform a thorough cleaning of your home? Do they provide a variety of cleaning options, such as steam cleaning? Before hiring a cleaning company, do not be afraid to ask them these questions.

Some cleaning companies bring their own supplies, while others expect the homeowners to provide the cleaning equipment. Our cleaners all arrive with their own cleaning supplies and equipment. However, if you want a specific product or piece of equipment used in your home, you are welcome to leave it out for the cleaner. Our cleaners are instructed to disinfect and change all clothes and sponges between services, and to wear different clothes in bathrooms, kitchens, and common areas. If necessary, we also provide step ladders (let us know beforehand).

Liability

While you most likely have a home or personal insurance, you don't want to be held liable for someone else's mistake on your property. A good cleaning service will always be adequately insured, so you will not be held liable in the event of an accident.

Most businesses also provide contracts because they detail the exact scope of work required and ensure that both you and the company are satisfied. However, some cleaning companies only offer lock-in contracts with variable prices or different cleaners assigned to your home each cycle. At Bright Cleaning Services, we provide the benefits of routine maintenance without the need for any tie contracts or agreements. if you are dissatisfied with the service provided, we aim to provide a re-clean within 2-4 days of the initial service for any missed/unsatisfactory areas and/or look at the situation.

For instance, before starting any serious cleaning in the kitchen, be sure to complete the dishes, empty the dishwasher, and arrange the work surfaces. To clean as little as possible is the main objective.
