What about a cleaning service?
We all get to a point where we look at our situations and think there must be a better way!
You work tons of hours at a job, try to fit in the housecleaning, and it still isn't as comfortable as you want. Worse, you have no time for your family.
Or, your office is just not right. People are getting sick. Employees are complaining. There must be a better way.
It can be intimidating looking for a company to clean your home or office.
This list will help you get started.......
#1. Choosing a residential or commercial business that is not a member of ARCSI (The Association of
Residential Cleaning Services International). ARCSI is a member based
trade association dedicated to providing opportunities for its members
to come together, network and continuously learn. Don’t you want a
company that is always striving to be the best?
#2. Choosing a service based on price. The days of “my
cleaning lady just lives down the street and is a family friend” is
fading away, but you can still find people cleaning at an extremely low price. Beware. These people are probably not
insured, not bonded, never background checked, and probably could not
reimburse you for breakage. Also, you better hope they never hurt
themselves on your property.
About background checks: Following up on references, verifying past
employment, paying a considerable amount of money on a background check
insures that the service is diligent about finding the best
people to clean your home.
#3. Choosing a company that pays their employees by commission. Think
about it, if an employee is paid by commission, doesn’t that encourage
them to rush so they can do more jobs and make more money? Ask if the
employees are paid by the hour.
#4. Choosing a company that locks you into an iron clad contract. Many
times residential and commercial cleaning contracts lock you into a set
amount of time with extremely high cancelation fees. Make sure you
don’t get locked into anything like that, after all, if you are unhappy
with the service, you should not get penalized for wanting to cancel it.
#5. Not knowing what you really need and want. Is there a company
representative that is willing to take the time to truly understand your
needs? Are you clear on what kind of service you will receive? Do
they guarantee their work? How do you define a clean house? Does the
company you are dealing with see it the same way?
