Bringing professional house cleaners into your home may be a daunting experience. They’ll see the mess you won’t show to your closest friends.
You need to feel completely comfortable with the person you bring into your home. These tips will help you be confident you’re bringing in professionals who will remove stress rather than add to it.
Reputation
Always look into a company’s online reputation. Do they have decent reviews on local review boards? A house cleaning company that’s been around for a while should have clients who are willing to put in a good word for them.
Keep in mind companies can post their own reviews. A genuine review should be positive without sounding like an infomercial. Conversely, sometimes cranky people will go online to whine about everything. Don’t be scared away by one bad review if most reviews are positive.
Professional Attitude and Respect for Your Home
Working in someone’s home is tricky because it’s a casual setting that requires a professional attitude. A good house cleaner will maintain a professional conversation while working in your home. They won’t ask personal questions and they’ll respect your space by not snooping.
Skill
House cleaning is a skill that can be learned. Professional house cleaners know how to clean a mirror without leaving smears. They know the fastest way to fold a fitted sheet.
Find a house cleaner who’s developed cleaning skills as a profession. They should know what they’re doing and be proud of their work.
Soul of Discretion
A professional house cleaner won’t be nosy about your personal affairs or comment about what they find in the trash can. They also shouldn’t tell you stories about other people’s homes.
When hiring, look for someone who’s going to respect the fact that they’re working in your home. They may come across private belongings, but they’ll respect your privacy and won’t tell stories when they leave.
Willing to Work with Your Needs
House cleaning is not a one-size-fits-all line of work. Every person will have different requirements based on whether they need help with organizing, a seasonal deep clean, or a weekly schedule. Find a house cleaner who’s willing to work with your needs.
A Final Word
Your house cleaner doesn’t have to be your best friend. In fact, it’s probably best if you don’t hire a best friend to work for you! The relationship with a house cleaner should be friendly and mutually respectful.
