Keeping a house neat and clean--it's a dirty job but someone has to do it. These days, however, with busy families juggling multiple priorities and conflicting schedules that can include work, child care, elder care, running errands and shuttling children to and from activities and appointments, what little time there is left in the day or week is precious. The last thing most people want to think about is spending time cleaning their house. But it must be done.
If you have made the decision to enlist the help of a maid cleaning company, you have only just dusted the surface of the task. There are many maid cleaning companies in Washington ready and willing to do the cleaning for you.
To help you choose which option is best for you, Two Maids, a maid cleaning service in the Washington DC Metro area, suggests the following tips when searching for a reliable maid cleaning company:
Identify your needs and the scope of cleaning--Make a check list of what areas in your home you want cleaned and how often. Do you require a maid service that will do a daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or one-time clean at your house? Will they vacuum every room? Dust every knick knack? Will they scrub the floors and wash the window casements? Do they do windows? Will that stain on the carpet be taken care of? What tools are they using? Do they bring their own? What products will they be using? You may want to ask about the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) regulations because there may be certain products that cleaning services are restricted from using.
Protection for you and your home--Is the company fully licensed, bonded and insured against items broken in your home or individuals injured. Employees should be insured by the agency in case of any injury inside your home.
Ask for referrals--Friends and family, even colleagues, can be a great resource when you are conducting your search for a professional maid cleaning company in DC. Feel free to pick their brains. Ask them about their experiences. What do they like about the service they use? Which ones would they steer clear from?
Look for a service that is trustworthy--Once you narrow down a list of agencies, contact them to find out if they do extensive nationwide background checks on their employees.
Pricing--Find out what the maid cleaning company charges. Is it per room? Per hour? Do they offer a flat-fee?
Consultation--Some companies will offer a free consultation with the hope that they may get your business in the end. Make a short list of those that do. They should be at the top of your list. Be sure to have any questions written down and ready for your interview with an agency representative.
How many does it take?--Be sure to find out how many people would be coming to clean your house for the amount of work that you want done.
Satisfaction guaranteed?--Look for a service that provides a satisfaction guarantee. If you are unhappy with any aspect of the cleaning done in your home, the company should ensure that they will take care of the issue promptly and efficiently--with a smile even.
If you are looking to hire a professional maid cleaning company in Washington DC, a little research done beforehand can save you many hassles in the end, and clear the way for a positive relationship with your chosen service.
