With work and other responsibilities filling up your schedule, it can be difficult to find spare moments to clean your home. Left untended for too long, however, your house can quickly accumulate dust, grime, and allergens that reduce your air quality. Using a cleaning service will not only keep your space clean, but it’ll free up your time so you can focus on other tasks. If you’ve never hired a janitorial crew before, you may have many questions about this. To help you understand this service, here’s a guide to some of the common questions homeowners have about it. 

FAQ on Home Cleaning Services

Should I be present during the service?

You don’t have to be home on the day, but you can be if you wish. If you won’t be home, you’ll need to provide an access code or spare key to the cleaning company so they can access the property. Place pets in a safe location before the cleaners arrive.

Who will be cleaning my home?

It’s understandable that you’d want to learn more about those entering your home. Reputable cleaning companies conduct rigorous recruitment processes to ensure that only trustworthy individuals are employed. Training is also provided so staff is knowledgeable on professional cleaning techniques and equipment.

How often should I schedule cleaning?

You can dictate how frequently you’d like to have your home cleaned, whether that be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. If you perform some cleaning yourself, they can come in once a month to thoroughly sanitize the space. If you have a busy schedule, on the other hand, weekly service will help you maintain a sanitary home with no effort. 

What happens if something is damaged?

As infrequent as it is, professional cleaning services have insurance to address any damage that may occur. Most reputable companies will replace the damaged item or offer financial compensation for it. Check the company’s policies to be certain. You can also establish off-limits rooms to keep valuables safe.
