Keeping our homes clean and tidy can be a never-ending chore that consumes much of our free time. If your life seems to revolve around mopping floors, vacuuming, dusting and changing bed linens, hiring a home cleaning service may be the solution.
Maid services, staffed by trained professional house cleaners, are available in a wide variety of options including:
Follow the steps below to ensure hiring a cleaning service goes smoothly. 1. Interview several cleaning services before choosing one. Before hiring a cleaning service, interview several companies or cleaning people. Ask for references and check them. After all, these people will be spending time in your home, and you must be comfortable with them. Trust is very important since the cleaning person or team will have access to your entire house. 2. Ask who will supply the cleaning equipment. It is common for your house cleaning person or team to arrive at your home equipped with all the necessary supplies for the job such as cleaning solvents, brushes, brooms and vacuums. In some cases, a cleaning service will request to use the homeowner’s supplies. If someone in your household has allergies, consult your cleaning service to discuss specific products that may be beneficial. 3. Designate areas to be cleaned. It’s a good idea to spend a few minutes to note which areas of your home will be included in your scheduled cleaning. If it is important to have different areas given special attention each time, make sure you find a cleaning service that accepts your requests and, prior to each visit, be sure to leave a list of problem areas. 4. Find out if there is a charge specific to your type of residence. The type of residence you own may affect your cleaning service visits. Keep the following in mind and plan accordingly:
Payment arrangements should be discussed before your first cleaning. The service might have an established system in place already. If not, decide if you want to pay after each visit, or on a monthly basis. Be very clear about what is included in the cleaning service prices, and what is expected.

My roommate and I are needing to get our apartment cleaned before our lease runs out. We are wanting to hire a cleaning company to make sure everything is as clean as possible. Thank you for suggesting that we should ask the company who is proving the cleaning equipment. I'll have to keep this in mind as I search for the right cleaning company.

It really helped when you said that we should ask for references and check them ourselves to have peace of mind that they will be comfortable to work with. I will do what you have said because I need to hire house cleaning services for the first time this weekend. The house needs to be cleaned before my in-laws visit us on Sunday so that I can impress them and have a good relationship with them.

My wife and I are wanting to hire a professional company to clean out our basement which was finished a couple of days ago. I like how you mentioned that payment arrangements should be discussed before your first cleaning. Discussing payment will prevent the company from taking our money and running away with it.
