Key Questions To Ask House Cleaners

Are you looking for a reliable maid service for your home? Have you thought about what questions to ask when hiring a house cleaner? Whether you’re searching for a one-time deep clean or regular cleaning services, finding the perfect housekeeper can seem daunting. But it doesn’t have to be! Asking the right questions can make sure your home is in great hands. Here are some essential tips and questions that will come in handy when choosing a maid service.

 

What Services Do They Offer?

If you’re looking for a house cleaner who can handle all of your cleaning needs, the first question to ask is what services does the house cleaner offer. Are they experienced with deep cleans or do they just do light cleaning? Do they provide laundry services or move-out cleaning? Are there any special requests that need to be taken care of?

Can They Provide Background Checks and References?

When looking for a reliable cleaning service, the most important criteria is trustworthiness. Ask the house cleaner or cleaning company about their background checks and references. Do they have documented proof that they’ve thoroughly vetted their employees?

What Products Do They Use?

Next, you’ll want to inquire about the type of cleaning products and techniques the house cleaner uses. Environmentally friendly cleaning products are a great way to keep your home clean and healthy while also reducing your carbon footprint. Additionally, make sure the cleaner uses proper safety protocols to keep everyone safe.

 

How Do They Accept Payment?

When it comes down to payment terms and service fees, you’ll want to know what kind of rates are available and how much it will cost to hire a house cleaner in general. Do they offer discounted rates for more frequent service? Also, find out what payment methods are accepted—some may only take cash or check.

Are Their Services Within Your Budget?

You need to make sure a house cleaner’s services fit your budget. Start by determining what services you need. Do you need a one-time deep clean or regular help with vacuuming and dusting? Once you know what services you’re looking for, shop around for the best deal and compare prices. If you’re on a tight budget, look for cleaners who offer discounts or special deals.

 

Do They Have Insurance?

It’s also essential that any maid service you hire has sufficient insurance. If a member of their team is injured at your property, proper coverage ensures you won’t be liable for any medical costs, property damage, or legal repercussions.

Make sure you ask about their policies and how they handle any accidents that may occur during a job.

Can They Accommodate Your Schedule?

Scheduling considerations are also important when hiring a housekeeper. Some maid services require specific days and times for each appointment. Talk through what works best for both parties—and quality should never be compromised.

Are They Pet Friendly?

Another important factor to consider when selecting a house cleaner is whether they’re pet friendly. If you have pets, it’s important to choose a cleaning service that’s respectful of them. Ask the cleaning service provider about their pet policy and if they’re comfortable working around them. If the cleaner does not feel comfortable with pets in the home, it may be best to look elsewhere.

Do You Have Any Special Requests or Concerns?

If you have any special requests or concerns, make sure to ask potential house cleaners if they can accommodate them. For example, do they offer green cleaning services? Are they knowledgeable about the best cleaning products and techniques for certain materials? It’s also good to ask whether the house cleaner is willing to go above and beyond basic tasks.

Are You Ready To Hire a Housekeeper?

If you need help keeping your home clean and organized, hiring a housekeeper can be a great way to make your life easier and give you more time to focus on the things that matter most. Here are three things you can do right now to get one step closer to hiring a housekeeper:

  • Outline Your Needs: Before hiring a housekeeper, it’s important to consider what kind of tasks you need done around your home. Are you looking for someone who can do deep cleaning, laundry, dishes, or other specific tasks? Knowing exactly what kind of help you need will narrow down your search.
  • Ask Around: Word-of-mouth referrals are one of the best ways to find reliable and trustworthy housekeepers. Ask friends, family members, neighbors, or colleagues if they know anyone who might be a good fit.
  • Schedule Cleaning Consultations: Once you’ve narrowed down a shortlist of cleaning companies that fit your needs, schedule cleaning consultations to square away the details and get quotes.

Dianna was amazing! She was very punctual, thoughtful, and detailed in cleaning and organizing things in our house. She went above and beyond. She really gave us a fresh start after being displaced in our home for the last 4 months with two toddlers and a kitchen remodel and several other dusty and dirty home projects. Thank you so so so much Dianna! God bless you! It feels like a brand new home in here!!!!

She was very nice and went about her work very quietly. All of the rooms were nice and clean. The kitchen and bathroom fixtures all shining like new. Appliances and sinks were nice and shiny. Overall I am very happy with the clean apartment. I love the purple top, just to remind me of the company name. FYI, I just moved in to this apartment in May and have made some tiny improvements in the appearance, but as the years go by, just not able to do all that I wish to do. Glad for the help.

Diana was friendly, efficient, and left our place nice and clean—we had a deep clean from a certain big cleaning company recently and she got spots they missed even though this was a standard clean! So glad we got someone with her level of professionalism. The company communicates well, answers questions quickly, and makes it easy to schedule cleaning.

We signed up with The Purple Maids to provide support for some friends and didn't realize we'd see them in action when we dropped by our friends' home for a little visit last week. Diana was doing beautiful work and it was a delight to see what a blessing she is to our friends! She was very thoughtful with regard to coordinating use of space as she cleaned, and she took time to do some "little extras" that really impressed us. We're so thankful for Diana and The Purple Maids!!

Libby and Florinda did such a thorough and wonderful job. It was my first experience with the service and I’m so thrilled with the job they did. Anastasia and Gloria were great at scheduling me and walking me through the service. 100% recommend!

Excellent results!! I am very impressed. My family and I moved out of a rental and wanted to have it cleaned professionally. I’ll admit that I was a little nervous when only one lady showed up to clean a 2,000 square foot home, but Valaria is an army of one. This girl cleaned every inch in every corner. She didn’t miss a single cob web. And the bill was even on the low end of the quote! I couldn’t be more pleased and I will be booking these folks for all of my future cleaning needs. Thank you Purple Maids!!

Anastasia and her team are wonderful! We have had several cleaning companies clean our house, and they are by far the best, most thorough company we have used! They are so friendly, easy to work with, and payments are easily handled. Would highly recommend!

We started using Purple Maids at multiple multi family housing complexes in Pierce County once the pandemic hit to utilize their Covid-19 disinfecting services in our units. This giving our new tenants ease that their unit has been fully disinfected and sanitized prior to moving in. The staff is professional and responsive from the easy scheduling to the cleaning service they provide. I would highly recommend Purple Maids!
