Individuals vs. Cleaning Service - Part 1

Now it is time to consider pros and cons of cleaning services also known as maid services. Is it worth to spend a little extra money for professionals? It depends on what the company, which you want to hire, can offer you.

You ought to know that every professional cleaning provider has its own checklist of the cleaning tasks. So before you ask for the price or scheduling the appointment, you should check if you don’t need some additional services ( an oven cleaning ). They may refuse to do it or they will charge you extra.

The cleaning companies commonly provide crews of two, three sometimes four. If you want to have your house cleaned as fast as possible four-member team will be a good solution. My recommendation is the crew of two or, if it is possible, one person, as in Chicago Cleaning Srvices. First of all, a small team will do the job more carefully and they focus on the cleaning not on running time. Second of all it could cost you a little bit more for a bigger team ( Your payment covers their trip to your house, so even if it takes half an hour there are four employees ).

The members of the team could change very often. It can be annoying seeing different people in your house during the cleaning. In one day, you will come back to a really clean house, in the other day you won’t even recognize if someone visited it.

 The important advantage of hiring a professional cleaning services is the ability of rescheduling. If you call two day before the cleaning, it should not be a problem to change the service date without extra cost.

If you are wondering what is the best way to find reliable cleaning service providers here is some helpful tips and hints.

Cleaning companies as well as construction firms always face with employee disloyalty. Since a company’s reputation is the one of the major priority for every business owner, dissatisfied workers may easily damage it.

 I would like to introduce the situation which is probably well known by cleaning service providers. Especially, all these cleaning companies may be familiar with this issue that offer crew of two or one person cleaning service. I’ll try to describe the point of views of three parties involved in the problem: the cleaning company losing the client, a former/fired cleaning person, and a customer who simply doesn’t care.

Easy target
Ann worked for a cleaning company two years as a subcontractor. She was responsible for the small area, mostly visiting the same houses every week or every other week. An employer tried to fill every gap in her work schedule by one time service projects. It wasn’t easy during hard economic times.

 She was getting frustrated seeing her paychecks every week. It was not the same amount as she had received a year ago. She was aware that the supervisors did everything to keep her busy, but on the other hand that was not her problem, that there are not enough work.

 The idea of “takeover the houses” wasn’t new. She had heard about the cleaning workers who quit the job for the company and right after that they visited all former clients with their offers. Typically, they proposed lower rates and even better services than the company could offer.

 There was only one thing she was afraid of. Not everybody can accept her offer, so she assumed the risk of losing a few customers. She decided to complain on her employer to present her tough situation. “They may sympathize with me if I tell them how my job looks like … also some fictitious details might color the stories.”
