10 Questions to Help You Find the Right Maid Service Having your house cleaned by a maid service is no longer a luxury – the hectic pace of modern life makes it a necessity because, for many people, there is no time to do the cleaning themselves. This demand has resulted in the mushrooming of companies offering house cleaning services. Find the right one and you can relax knowing your home is clean and secure. Use the wrong one and your dirty home and worries about security will mean you are worse off than before hiring the service. So how do you find a good, reliable maid service? You need to be sure that your home will be properly and thoroughly cleaned, that it, and the items in it, are safe and that you are paying the right rate. Here are 10 questions to ask a maid service before hiring them.
How are your charges calculated? If the charge is on a project rate (cleaning specified parts of the home to a certain standard), or by the number of people used to clean your home, you know exactly what it will cost you. If the rates are hourly, ask for an estimate of the time required so you know what it will cost.
What services are included? Ask for details of what will be cleaned and how. If there is some cleaning you would rather do yourself, ask for a discount and if you want extra services, and then find what that will cost you.
Can your set plans be modified to suit my specific needs? Many maid services have different set cleaning plans with set rates. If this is the case, ask if the plan that is closest to your needs can be modified to cover all that you want.
Have background checks been done on your employees? Doing background checks and verification is the sign of a professional company which is reliable.
