One of the first questions we often get asked when people call in to book their cleaning service is should I provide my house cleaners with equipment? This really depends on what type of cleaning service you’re booking, and what your preference is.
One-off Cleans Vs Regular Cleaners
At Absolute Domestics we offer one-off cleans and regular house cleaning. With the one-off cleans these are performed by specialist spring cleaners, it’s the service you book when you are looking for a big clean reset. Often booked for move in or move out cleans, spring cleaning prior to events and bond cleaning.
With one-off cleans Absolute Domestics cleaners provide their own products and equipment, the reason for this is they are performing specialist cleaning often in homes that might be empty prior to the owners moving out or moving in.
Whereas for our regular house cleaning service, the cleaners use the products and equipment you have in your own home. There are a few reasons for this.
Hygiene
It’s more hygienic for our cleaners to use your products and equipment, when you think about it you wouldn’t want a cloth that had wiped down some stranger’s bench wiping down your bench. Using your products and equipment keeps things more hygienic.
Personal Preferences
By using your own products and equipment our cleaner can maintain your home with products you like. Some clients prefer homemade cleaning solutions, others like specific brands or even have allergies to specific products.
Different Homes Equals Different Equipment
At Absolute Domestics we understand that each home is unique. Every home has its own quirks and requirements, the products and equipment you’d use to clean a marble floor are different to what you’d use for vinyl floor. By working with your personal cleaning equipment and products our cleaners can tailor your cleaning service to your needs.
Expert Advice on Products
What happens if you’re not sure what kinds of cleaning products and equipment works for your home? Not to worry our cleaners will be in touch to discuss your regular cleaning booking, and they can advise you on which products and equipment they will need to complete the cleaning you have requested.
Because your service is completely customisable your cleaner can customise all the products used as well. Depending on the cleaning tasks assigned and the goal for each clean, your cleaner can give advice on products and equipment that can help you get your home in tip top shape.
What if you want your cleaner to provide products and equipment?
Some clients don’t want to provide products or equipment for their regular cleaning service, and that’s okay. We offer the option of having your cleaner provide products and equipment for an additional $15 per service.
The Absolute Domestics Difference
You want a spotless home. That’s the one thing you know for sure. But, there are so many decisions to make. How can you be sure you choose the best cleaners available?
Unlike some other cleaning companies Absolute Domestics covers our cleaners for public liability and accident insurance, ensuring the safety of your home and our cleaners. As an agency, we vet, recruit and train cleaners and we have a large pool of cleaners available to assist you. If you’re not gelling with your cleaner, we can offer you a replacement cleaner. Our recruitment process is extensive, our cleaners go through a vetting process including a police check so you can feel confident leaving your home in our hands. We service suburbs, capital cities and major regional centers all over Australia.
Video transcript:
At Absolute Domestics we believe it is best that the client provides the products and house cleaners equipment. There are a couple of reasons for that. The first one is a hygienic perspective. Of course we don’t want equipment being used in one home and then coming into yours. They get to use the products you prefer as well.
Absolute Domestics house cleaners will require just the basic products and equipment you would use every week in cleaning your home – the same things you use. That’s the idea, that they’re using the things you prefer.
What they’ll need is just some general cleaning products. If you do need some advice from your cleaner, of course they can give you that advice, that’s what they’re there for.
They’ll come and meet with you first as well, to do a bit of a walk through the home, have a look at where your product and equipment is kept, determine how you vacuum cleaner works, etc. So they’ll just need a good working vacuum cleaner, your mops, your brooms, your cloths, that type of thing is what they’re after.
As you can see, a true professional will have the right answers to help ease your concerns. They know how to make you feel at home, and that begins with meeting with you and answering any questions you might have. If you need advice on the ideal cleaning products, they should help with that too! You can rest assured, if you already know your favorite products, just have them ready for your cleaner’s appointment, and you’re set to go.
So, if you’re ready to enjoy a fresh, clean home, click here to see why Absolute Domestics is the perfect choice for you.
