5 Simple Tips on How to Choose the Best House Cleaning Service

Before you book a house cleaning service…

When looking for the best house cleaning service, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with information overload.

Sorting through websites, getting quotes, and speaking with each provider could take several days, maybe even weeks, to go through.

Even then, you still may not be sure whether you’re getting the most out of your money or not.

So to help you navigate the world of housecleaning, we’re sharing 5 Insider Tips on How to Choose a house cleaning service. If you’ve never booked a housecleaning service before or are in the market for a new clean service, make sure to read this before booking anywhere.

1. Lessen the Scope

Decide what you need cleaned in your home

What do you really need help with?

First of all, it’s important to take stock of the things you really want cleaned because not all cleaning services perform the same services. For example, some do your laundry, make the beds, wash the dishes, etc. – so it’s important to know what you need before you book and make sure that the company you hire does those tasks.

Secondly, if you’re on a budget, deciding on what you really need cleaned is a way to customize your cleaning to make it a little cheaper.

2. The More Frequent the Appointments, the Better

Frequency matters

Need a monthly cleaning, bi-weekly, or weekly cleaning? Or maybe just a one time clean for moving out? Take a really close look at how often you need house cleaning appointments. Maybe you can get away with bi-weekly cleanings instead of weekly?

Just keep in mind that generally, the more frequent your appointments are, the cheaper it will be in terms of cost per visit.

3. Look Up Reviews Or Ask Friends For Recommendations

Asking friends, family and coworkers who have had hired a house cleaning service before for their recommendation can save you a lot of headaches because you can be relatively sure that if they had a good experience, you will too. That’s one of the main ways grew the way we did.

A side benefit of going through a cleaning service that was recommended you is that in some cases, they’ll give a referral credit to you AND a credit to the person recommending you. It’s a win-win for both of you.

4. Flat Rates and Walk-throughs

You know that jaw-dropping cleaning quote that’s $100 less than the others?

Yes it sounds great and all but you’ll definitely want to double check to see if it’s a flat rate.

Chances are that it’s not and that they’ve grossly under estimated the job. Not only that, but the efficiency and effort of the maids is not something you will know beforehand – a flat rate is more stable and ensures that you know what you’re paying for and aren’t shocked when you see the final bill.

5. Look For A Better Cleaning Experience

There are advantages and disadvantages to each and those differences lead to huge differences in terms of your experience.
