Choose A House Cleaning Company That’s Right For You

When deciding on which house cleaning company is right for you there are several criteria you can apply to evaluate the cleaning companies you are considering. From reviews to insurance to service inclusions and customer support, we take you through everything to consider when choosing a house cleaning company below.  

Reputation and Reviews  

Begin your process by finding more information on the companies you’re considering. Check customer reviews and testimonials online to gauge the company’s reliability and service quality. Look through their social media reviews and how their customers are engaging with them online.  A company with consistent positive feedback, especially on independent review sites, is likely to provide excellent service. 

Experience in the Industry   

Choose a cleaning company with years of experience. When a company has been around for a long time, they must be doing something right.  Longevity in the market, like Absolute Domestics’ 30+ years of operation, indicates reliability and consistent service delivery. 

Police-Check and Vetting  

Look for a company that is appropriately vetting their cleaners. A house cleaner is in a unique position of trust, they come into your home often when you are away at work and touch, move and tidy your things. This is why it’s so important that the house cleaning company you choose completes comprehensive vetting in their recruitment process. Companies that require their cleaners to undergo a reference check, employment history check and police check are taking the necessary precautions to ensure your cleaner is reliable and trustworthy.   

Insured Cleaners   

As service providers, house cleaners need public liability insurance to cover you and your home in the event of an accident or damage to your belongings during your cleaning service.  Of course, your cleaner will take every precaution to ensure the safety of you and your home, but accidents do happen. It’s best practice to find a house cleaning company that covers their cleaners for public liability insurance and accident insurance like Absolute Domestics.  

Range of Services Offered   

 There are so many house cleaning services available in the industry. Opt for a company that offers a wide range of cleaning services, such as regular cleaning, deep cleaning, and end-of-lease cleaning, to meet your specific needs. 

Flexibility and Customisation  

The best cleaning companies offer flexible scheduling and customised cleaning plans to suit your lifestyle. You should look for options like weekly or fortnightly services, with the ability to adjust based on your needs. At Absolute Domestics for example we offer the flexibility of changing your schedule anytime you need and the ability to skip a clean in your schedule. We also offer total customisation of your service, you decide what tasks your cleaner completes, and you can change your cleaning priorities anytime.  

 Service Inclusions  

Before committing to a cleaning service, you need to check that they do the cleaning tasks you want for your home. Some companies, for example, won’t do outdoor cleaning, others won’t do washing or ironing. To be sure your cleaning company will meet all your expectations confirm their service inclusions and how much they can tailor the service to you.  

Satisfaction Guarantee   

Choose a company that offers a satisfaction guarantee, meaning they’ll return to fix any missed spots or issues, ensuring you’re completely happy with the service. This is especially important in spring cleans, bond cleans and deep cleans, as the level of cleaning is much more in depth and specialised.  

Pricing Transparency   

Find a company that provides clear and upfront pricing without hidden fees. You should know exactly how much your cleaner will cost, and you should be able to find this without providing your personal details.  A transparent pricing model builds trust and allows you to budget accordingly. 

Trained and Equipped Staff 

Look for companies that invest in training for their staff. While some of their cleaners might already have experience, it’s important for companies to provide specific training to ensure their recruited cleaners are providing a cleaning service to the standard they offer. This reflects a commitment to quality service and ongoing professional development.  

Customer Support and Communication 

Choose a house cleaning company with excellent customer service. These days, too many companies don’t answer the phones, or employ adequate staff to provide an attentive customer service experience. Quick responses, clear communication, and easy booking processes (like being able to book online in just a minute) make a significant difference.   

Final Thoughts  

When choosing a house cleaning company, it’s important to take your time and do your research. Hopefully these tips can help you find a cleaning company that meets your standards and provides a trustworthy, high-quality service. Want to learn more about services and processes?
