Checklist for deciding on a commercial or residential Cleaning service:

1. Flexible Schedules

You lead a busy life and you need your schedule worked around.  Figure out what days work best.  Depending on your business or household, determine how often you need cleaning.  Qualified Business and House Cleaners offer weekly, bi weekly, and monthly packages with flexibility of early bird, afternoon, evening, and as is often needed for businesses, overnight cleaning schedules.

2. A Variety of Cleaning supplies

Elicit ANY and ALL objections, allergies you, your children, or pets may have to NOT JUST CHEMICALS, BUT ALSO ORGANIC AGENTS, PLANT EXTRACTIONS, AND INGREDIENTS. Learn if they use cleaning supplies that are safe for your children or pets. Determine if you need to provide any special cleaning supply requests or if they will bring it all. Regardless, they should be knowledgeable to accomodate your concerns and needs. The best companies will use the best cleaning supplies for you and your home.

3. Appropriate Equipment

Like with the cleaning supplies, you should have a line of questioning to find out what equipment the company has and will use in your home.  The best service will know what to use on various carpets, hardwood, tile and stone. Case in point, High acid based chemicals will damage wool carpet, and base low ph. having chemicals will effectively lift stains on the highly hydrophobic oil absorbing fibers of Nylon carpet. Double check and find out what they will be using on your surfaces.

4. Several Payment options

Cash or credit; Monthly, weekly or after every visit, a clear arrangement should be made convenient for you and your Cleaning Service Provider. A quality cleaning service will always be cognizant of your budget. We go into establishing our rates with that heart, to get your home as clean as possible. There should also be clear expectations on when and how to make payments. Whether through App and automation, Deposit, or physical tender, the best cleaning service will provide several options that will work best for you.

5. Quality Assurance and Guarantees

You want your home or business to look its best.  Hiring a cleaning service is a great way to get your place in tip-top shape, but you don’t want to pay for a service that does a mediocre job.  Find out what kind of quality assurance procedures your Cleaner has.  Are the cleaning technicians trained?  Is there a supervisor that checks their work?  Find out if the company has any guarantees for their service. A Distinguished Cleaning company will always ensure their work and come back to fix a project if you are not satisfied.

5. Service Offerings

Does the company take requests or offer a fixed service? What are the details of the needed service? Depending on what you want to be done, ask what level of service is offered. If you can customize and generate a unique to-do list, or if you just get the same service each visit irrespective of what you want to be done. Of you can do a combination. Companies offer a variety of options; you just need to find what suits your business’s or home’s needs and your lifestyle.

6. Discuss with the service how many people will be coming to your home.

As mentioned before, the level of detail that a professional will operate may not be what the common office manager, homeowner, or in some cases your past cleaner is knowledgeable of. At Proper Grounds we schedule one person for every 2.5 hours of labor it takes to service a place of business or home. This is a proven strategy that cuts time, error, and cost to you as a customer. Having effectively syncretized pairs or larger crews based on job is more effective than excessive man labor, because it allows for better streamlining of delegated tasks and assigned areas for cleaners to efficiently perform when in a concise structured routine. There is some necessary moving, repositioning, and maneuvering involved during a cleaning, but the work areas should always remain organized, as opposed to being encumbered with excessive equipment, gear and staff.

7. Decide if you need to be at your place of business or home when the cleaning is conducted.

Most companies/individuals give an arrival time frame. Remember, hiring a cleaning service is a decision to own your time, and avail yourself of having to divert that time from more desirable uses. A qualified Cleaning Company will have Insurance, bond and back ground checks for staff, and this is a a valuable of security and assurance. In order to maximize the time giving benefit of having a routine cleaning service, you should consider ways in which you may want to be able to comfortably be free to engage in more important matters present or absent and still have your place of business or home cleaned and maintained. If it means a slight investment in security camera installation, so you can appreciate this freedom of moving along with your life and having your place done without concern, then it is a valid return on that investment. During the initial service arrangement, if there are areas not to be entered, make these particulars transparent, and secure these areas from entry. If you’re a homeowner, you may decide to leave out the master rooms, or offices. Outline these areas are not to be cleaned when owner is not present, and secure them shut. Your cleaner will focus only one what you give the OK to when you are not there. On the arranged cleaning appointments that you are present at the place of business or home , the cleaner can return to cleaning those secured areas. Just know that, a competent cleaning service recognizes you are people just like them, and will work to your unique situation so that you can get the most benefit from their work. Quite often for the honest Home and Business cleaner, a long standing level of trust is forged with the customer over a track record of consistently demonstrating integrity, and giving much appreciated service, and benefit to their lives.
