Define Your Cleaning Requirements

To begin with, you’ll want to have a clear idea of the exact work needed to meet your expectations and goals.

Along with knowing the sort of cleaning you’d like (in many cases households will simply ask for a general clean, of course), it’s important to determine the frequency of cleaning (e.g. a deep clean for a special occasion or even a regular weekly clean).

Among the jobs a cleaning service may offer include:

  • General house clean
  • General house clean with deep cleaning methods
  • Regularly weekly cleans
  • Window cleaning
  • Carpet cleaning
  • Pressure washing/patio cleaning
  • Roof cleaning

It’s important to note that the jobs/tasks offered can vary depending on the house cleaner/house cleaning service in question. This is why it’s essential to check with any given house cleaner/house cleaning service that they offer the sort of work you’re looking for.

By knowing (to the extent possible) what is needed, you’ll have a better idea of what specific service is right for you. Moreover, it should make things go more smoothly as you’ll be able to communicate concisely with the cleaning contractor/cleaning company what you’re looking for. That said, if in doubt, you can always consult them to figure out the final details.

Verify Qualifications

Next, make sure that the cleaning services you’re considering have the right qualifications and experience for the work at hand.

Of course, house cleaning does not require specific, formal qualifications (as would be needed for electrical work or plumbing), but it’s still important to ensure that a house cleaning service has a proven track record along with positive client testimonials. These aspects can be a good sign that a service can be trusted.

Along with using the MyJobQuote online cleaning directory, you may be interested in checking out our online quote form.

Seek Recommendations

Along with using our online local cleaner directory or the MyJobQuote quote form, you may also want to seek recommendations from people in your life.

Whether it means asking friends, family or neighbours, securing personal recommendations can prove invaluable. After all, since people are unlikely to recommend a house cleaner unless they had a positive experience, referrals can lead to reliable and trustworthy services.

Discuss Cleaning Methods and Supplies

Once you’ve figured out what your number one preferred house cleaning service is, it’s important to talk to them about cleaning methods and supplies.

That is to say, you’ll want to make sure that they can offer the right methods and supplies for the job at hand or/and to your preferences.

You may have specific preferences or requirements that only certain house cleaners/house cleaning companies can offer (e.g. eco-friendly products or products without certain allergens). So, be sure to discuss any expectations and requirements you have regarding methods and supplies with the house cleaning service you wish to hire.

Confirm Availability and Flexibility

Next, you’ll want to ensure that the house cleaning service you have in mind is available or/and flexible to your preferences.

First and foremost, make sure the cleaning service you plan to hire can accommodate your schedule. Therefore, you’ll want to chat about their availability, flexibility and what happens should you need to reschedule a cleaning session.

Of course, if your number one preference cannot offer the availability and flexibility needed, you’ll want to reach out to your second and third preferences to see whether they can work with your scheduling needs.

Clarify Service Terms

Before officially hiring a house cleaner, it’s important to request a detailed written service agreement and one that includes details like pricing, payment terms and the scope of work.

Moreover, you’ll want to ensure there is clarity as to what their work includes and whether any extra charges may apply for additional tasks. Having a detailed discussion surrounding their services, along with a written service agreement, should hopefully avoid any unpleasant surprises like additional fees.

Monitor the Cleaning Process

It’s a good idea to monitor the cleaning process up to a certain point. This includes if you’ve hired a house cleaner for ongoing cleaning (e.g. weekly or monthly cleaning). In the case of ongoing cleaning, it’s worth at least being present during the initial cleaning sessions.

Whatever the case, you’ll want to ensure you communicate your expectations and provide any feedback where required. By monitoring here and there (or at least early on) and communicating any concerns or feedback you have, you can ensure that your standards and expectations are met.

That said, you still won’t want to spend too much time monitoring the process as to ensure you don’t distract the cleaner too much. A certain degree of monitoring makes sense, though.
