How To Find The Right Home Cleaning Service

When you are investigating cleaning services you have a lot of research to do; checking prices, reviewing companies and getting referrals. It’s hard to know how you can find the right home cleaning service for you!  

Here’s some factors to consider when you’re in the market for a home cleaning service.  

Why Do You Want A Cleaner 

Are you too busy to keep on top of the general cleaning and housework? Perhaps you find the laundry piles up and you never finish the ironing or dusting. Or is there a specific event coming up that you want the house spotless for? Have you recently moved or you’re about to move and need the home in tip-top shape? Or do you want to offload the weekly or fortnightly house cleaning to make more time for yourself and your family on the weekends? Understanding your reason for hiring a cleaner will help you narrow down your search.  

Type Of Home Cleaning Services 

There are all different kinds of home cleaners, finding the right home cleaning service requires a little research and consideration. There are once-off deep clean services, regular cleaners who focus on the big cleaning tasks like the floors, bathrooms and kitchen and housekeepers who assist you with cleaning and general chores like the washing, ironing and organising.  

Some companies specialise in specific types of cleaning while others offer a broad range of home cleaning services like Absolute Domestics.  

Once-off cleans  

If cleaning has gotten out of hand and you haven’t picked up a mop in months you might be better off starting your home cleaning journey with a one-off clean. Once-off cleans are like a big clean reset, these cover your moving cleans, bond cleans, spring cleans and deep cleans. A specialised cleaner with extensive experience will quote you on the number of hours it will take and then work on a priority list you provide to give your house a full clean from top to bottom. This can include; deep cleaning the oven, vacuuming and mopping the floors, spot cleaning or wiping down the walls and skirting boards as well as other big cleaning tasks you specify.  

Regular Cleans  

A regular cleaning service could be a weekly or fortnightly service. Your cleaner would usually be the same person every time and they would turn up and work on the cleaning tasks you assign, generally people get the floors vacuumed and mopped, the bathrooms cleaned, kitchen cleaned and a general tidy and dust. But if your cleaning service is customisable you would have the option to choose which task they complete and change those tasks week to week.  

Housekeeping Service  

If you have an especially big home or an extremely busy schedule you might be looking for more than a weekly or fortnightly cleaning service. For homes like these a housekeeping service could be the right choice. A housekeeping service could be twice weekly, or thrice weekly or even every day. A housekeeper could do all the cleaning tasks as well as more general chores like washing, ironing, sorting clothes, putting away laundry, making the bed, unpacking groceries, organising cupboards, making beds and a range of other little domestic cleaning tasks. A regular cleaner could also complete these tasks if there was time and you assigned them as a priority.  

Customisable Services  

When trying to find the right home cleaning service something you should consider is how customisable your service will be. Some cleaning companies will have a set series of cleaning tasks that they complete in each clean and they won’t deviate from those tasks, others like Absolute Domestics offer customisable cleaning. With Absolute Domestics you can set which cleaning tasks you want your cleaner to complete, these can change service to service or stay the same at each service depending on what you require.  

Availability  

Searching for a cleaner in your area can be difficult, going through an organisation or agency that services multiple areas or suburbs ensures your clean can be covered. An agency like Absolute Domestics has cleaners all over Australia and New Zealand, this helps as it means you can easily get a replacement cleaner if your cleaner leaves, a fill-in if your cleaner is sick or on holidays and you can find a new one through them if you move to another location, this is not always an option if you choose a company that isn’t national or go through a private cleaner.
