Finding a reliable and trustworthy cleaning service can be difficult, but it doesn’t always have to be. If you’re in the market for a self-employed housekeeper or a larger cleaning company, there are a few key things you should always be looking for in your search.What Services Do You Need?For starters, you should evaluate what sort of service you’re looking for. How often do you need cleaning? Are you looking to get a commercial or a residential property serviced? The scope of your cleaning job makes all the difference when choosing the right cleaner. If you only need an apartment or smaller-sized residential property cleaned, then you more than likely would want to hire a self-employed housekeeper. But if you need to have a commercial property or a bigger home cleaned, then you probably want to go with a large cleaning service. There are a number of pros and cons when it comes to hiring one or the other, but it’s all based on your needs.If you were to hire someone who’s self-employed, they are usually cheaper and offer a more personalized experience, but they tend not to be insured. Meaning, if the cleaner breaks something in your home and they’re uninsured, you would be responsible for replacing or fixing the damage. If you choose the larger cleaning service route, they’re usually insured and highly reliable, though likely more expensive.When evaluating your needs, you should also ask yourself how frequently you need the cleaning to be done. Are you looking for a one-time deep clean, or someone who will come back on a recurring basis? Many cleaners will ask how big your home is, how many rooms it contains and what kind of routine cleaning you do. Being prepared for these sorts of questions can help prospective services determine exactly what you’re looking for.Cleaning SuppliesSomething else you may not think about but should certainly consider is whether or not the cleaner will be using their own cleaning supplies, or require you to provide or pay for them. In many circumstances, cleaners will tag cleaning supplies on the bill, but you should always ask whether or not that’s something you’re responsible for paying for.Additionally, if you have a special request for certain cleaning solutions, you may have to pay for them. If you’re environmentally conscious and want to use natural cleaners, you may have to specifically request that, because most self-employed cleaners do not use natural cleaning solutions, as they tend to be more expensive. Many larger cleaning companies, like Virginia-based <a href="https://www.maidright.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-to-find-the-right-cleaning-service-2721184" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Maid Right</a>, have become eco-friendly and are using all-natural, non-toxic chemicals.Though the products are more expensive, there is a plus side. If you provide your own supplies, you may be able to request a lower fee since the cleaner won’t need to provide them.PricingOne of the biggest factors to pay attention to when searching for a reliable cleaner is, of course,&nbsp;pricing. Before booking with a cleaning company, always make sure it’s something you can budget for, and make sure you know exactly what’s included in the service you’re receiving.Hiring a house cleaner can cost anywhere from $150 to $300 per visit, depending on your location and the size and condition of your home. Because of this, you always want to ask for an estimate of what the cleaner charges. Many companies will have a list of services they provide, and the pricing can be confusing. Some divvy it up between a flat rate, room-by-room or by an hourly fee. While one-time visits and deep cleans can cost more, it’s important to know exactly what you’re paying for.If you’re ever confused by the pricing, you can always ask the cleaner to provide you with an itemized checklist that details all the services completed. That way you won’t be hit with any last-minute surprises when you get the bill.Read ReviewsA huge part of choosing which cleaner is right for you is making sure they are&nbsp;exactly who they say they are. As stated earlier, finding a reliable and trustworthy cleaner isn’t easy. This is where online reviews come in. Thanks to the Internet, almost everyone, including companies, have a digital footprint.Make it a good practice to read through and check the reviews of cleaners you’re interested in, to ensure they’re a good fit for you. Most cleaning services will have reviews, especially if the company is larger and has been in business for a while.&nbsp; Google and Yelp are good places to start checking reviews for your local businesses to see testimonials from different people who have received their services. Reading reviews can not only give you peace of mind about how the cleaner conducts business, but will also reveal how the cleaner interacts with its community.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As long as you remember and follow these four tips, you should be well on your way to finding exactly what cleaning service to go with. And remember, the cost of a clean space without having to do the work yourself is priceless.For more information about Maid Right, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://maidright.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-to-find-the-right-cleaning-service-2721184" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://maidright.com</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;
