How to Determine the Best House Cleaning Service?

For most households, hiring a home cleaning service can be the best thing you do. Most people these days have busy schedules, so a trusted cleaning service can often save them time and reduce their stress.

For an industry that is so high in demand, there are plenty of choices for house cleaning services.

Here are five things to consider when determining which cleaning service is best to suit your needs.

Location

The first thing people look for is whether a cleaning service will travel to their suburb. Customers want the peace of mind that their cleaners will always arrive on time and will be there if they need to book an emergency or once-off clean, as well as their regular cleans. 

Once-Off Cleaning is especially relevant during holiday seasons when people have guests over at their house for parties and events.

Not only is a local service highly convenient, but often prices are determined based on how far the cleaners must travel.

Compare Prices

That brings me to my next point. For most people, their top priority when determining the right cleaning service is the costs. Customers want the best services, for the most affordable price. They want to ensure they are getting the best value for their money.

It’s important for your cleaning service to offer competitive prices. This involves researching what other companies in your area are charging and what each service includes. For example, some companies may offer shorter services than others. Also, some may provide their own cleaning supplies, while others will need their customers to supply them. Such factors will determine cleaning fees.

The cheapest options do not always guarantee the best services. Price, combined with reputation and customer reviews, should help determine the best home cleaning service.

Reputation and Reviews

It’s very useful for customers to read online reviews when determining their cleaning service. Customers want to ensure the company is reputable and trustworthy and will do a good job with every clean.

Customer reviews are often more persuading than advertising from the company itself. That’s because customers value other customer’s opinions when researching whether a company will be able to meet their needs. 

A few reviews, whether they are positive or negative, and a star rating on Google, can determine whether a customer chooses to hire a particular cleaning service, or whether they choose not to.

Cleaning Supplies

In a society that is so environmentally-aware, customers should also research what type of cleaning supplies their potential cleaning service uses. 

Here are some reasonable questions to consider:

Do they use supplies that are harmful to the environment? 

Do they use natural cleaning products?

Traditional cleaning products contain certain chemicals that are harmful to the environment and can even potentially encourage bad bacteria to thrive. An eco-friendly alternative is probiotics, as they are 100% natural.

Does their staff apply eco-friendly practices to uphold their corporate social responsibility?

Such practices can include using a reduced amount of water when cleaning, or encouraging a ‘lights off’ policy when employees are finished cleaning a particular room.

Company Culture

The final thing to consider when choosing the best cleaning service is the company culture. Often, people don’t realise how important this is. Company culture is all about how employees are treated.

This includes whether the company hires employees or contract workers. Employees enjoy different benefits, and contract workers usually have less supervision. This also includes how well the cleaners are trained and how much ongoing support they receive. This can help determine how well the cleaners work and how efficiently they will do their job.

A positive company culture results in happy staff who produce high-quality work for its customers.
