Choosing the Best Cleaning Company
How to choose a cleaning company? Finding a cleaning company that is right for you can be a challenge. There are thousands of people out there who clean and hundreds of companies. Each one is unique in their own way. There are specific things you can look at when making a decision on who to hire to clean your personal or business areas. Below you will find 5 important elements of cleaning companies to help you decide which company can be best suited to your needs.
1. Dependable
One of the first things you should look for is dependability. If your cleaning company cannot show up for the job regularly, then they are of no use to you. Not only should they be faithful, but their cleaning should also stay consistent. Are new hires being trained properly? Is there a standard of cleaning across the entire company? Be assertive with talking with your cleaning company about problems that arise so that they can be addressed immediately. If you don’t feel that you can depend on them for regularity, then choose a company that you feel is reliable.
2. Clean not Disguise
This is the second thing that I personally look at. It is so essential that the cleaning company that you use is cleaning to pristine. There are so many cleaners who are trained to make things look good. “Make things sparkle” is what they are told. Tidy the room, fluff the pillow and wipe surfaces. Some companies even spray a chemical air freshener to make things smell clean. Ok that’s great to come home to a nice looking house that smells “good.” And maybe that’s what some people prefer to pay for. I personally do not want extra chemicals in my air and I want more than surfaces wiped down. When it comes to a house cleaning company, they should be doing more than you do. Sure you probably wipe down the counters already, so what is it that you don’t do that you’re paying them to clean? Look for things in the kitchen like are they cleaning appliances, canisters on the counter, and the glass bottles of cooking oils? Are they getting into nooks and crannies, lifting items to clean under and to clean the item itself? Are they getting behind toilets and wiping down soap dispensers? Do they notice marks on the cupboards or doors to wipe down? Even getting on top of your kitchen cupboards where dust and grease collect! The cleaning companies that are best for residential homes will do more than surface, eye level cleaning.
3. Flexible with requests
Is a cleaning company flexible and attentive to requests that you make? Many companies stick to only specific duties like bathrooms, kitchen, dusting, and floors. You’ll see this more with the larger companies. This is not bad at all, and some people prefer this. But for those of you who want help with other tasks at times, it can be so rewarding to have a very versatile cleaning company. When you need them to clean out underneath your sink or clean up the sticky spill in your refrigerator, they can help with things that can throw off your day. One of our core values with Sparkling Clean Services is simplifying your life. We hold this as one of our three main values because it is so important to us that we are simplifying your life. We are not just the cleaners who do the weekly cleaning, but also clean what may have come up as important that week.
4. Can do multiple duties
Yes, you read that correctly. A cleaning company that can do more than just basic cleaning can help you save time and energy. You will not have to spend time searching, calling and trying out different companies. You know and trust this company and they can do more for you. There are companies out there that can do things from deep cleaning your home to cleaning up your yard! Sparkling Clean Services offers residential cleaning, commercial cleaning, window cleaning, waste pickup, basic yard services, and gutter cleaning. It saves time and effort when you can just add on services to your normal cleaning.
5. Highly Praised
My go to for anything is Google. Whatever pops up first seems like a good choice right? Wrong. Businesses pay extra to have their ads and business name at the top of the list. This shows that they are either a large company or that they are forking out the extra to become noticed. Sometimes they can be amazing and other times they are just popular by default. If a cleaning company or even a single cleaner is highly praised then they should be able to market by word of mouth. When searching on google it helps to hit the top rated. This will bring the companies to the surface that may be small but have customers who love them. Smaller companies can include more attention to detail, be more flexible, and are at times easier to maintain long term relationships with.
