How to choose the right cleaning company for your house cleaning needs?  

A clean home is a happy home, but the stress of the daily cleaning requirements of your home may seem somewhat overwhelming. Keeping on top of regular house cleaning needs, or needing a specific cleaning service like an end-of-tenancy cleaning service or a full builders clean may lead you to choose a cleaning company.

In the 1950's housework for an average UK homemaker took, on average, 57 hours a week. This housework was divided into 42 hours of general housework plus approximately 20 hours of deep cleaning. Fast forward about 70 years to the future and that number is now down to just about 5 hours of cleaning a week.


5 hours a week, is the amount of free time an average person in the UK will have to clean and take care of their home. Therefore, it's pretty safe to conclude that when you take into account how hectic and stressful our schedules are nowadays we simply don't have time (or energy) to clean. Keeping a clean home is one of the most important parts of your daily schedule, however, pressed for time, stressed from work and everyday chores we simply do not have the needed time to deep clean and scrub every inch and corner of our home.


This is why hiring a professional cleaning company is a worthwhile investment. Booking a cleaning company will allow you to spend those 5 hours doing something else, something you enjoy, focusing on a hobby, and spending time with friends and family. Nowadays hiring a cleaning company is a necessity not a luxury, all of us are simply too busy and stressed. But how do you choose the right cleaning company?


We offer 11 useful tips to consider before you hire a professional cleaning company in your area. Like any other service, you may hire cleaning companies that are different. Some have a truly professional approach and deliver a great cleaning service, others lack in several departments. We will list 11 useful tips you can consider before you book a cleaning company, in this way you will be able to make an informed decision and you will be sure that you will receive the best possible cleaning service. 

Choosing the right professional cleaning company can be somewhat overwhelming. There are certainly plenty of options. However, choosing the right cleaning company will always be mainly dependent on your specific cleaning needs, the type of service you require, and the specialization of the cleaning company. As demand has become evident there is a large number of big or small cleaning companies you can choose from. However, that market saturation makes it very easy for you to make the wrong choice.

There are a few characteristics you should look for in a professional cleaning company. 

1.  Professionalism 
    

   This you can judge by how your cleaning service inquiry is handled. From your original cleaning service request to your finalizing your appointment to the service taking place, you are looking for a stress-free and easy-to-manage booking process. You are also looking for how thoroughly is the service explained to you. You should be made aware of every facet of the cleaning service you are going to schedule. Other than an explanation of what your service includes you should also be made aware of what the service will not cover. In cases of an end-of-tenancy cleaning service, an after-builders cleaning service, or a deep clean what the service does not include is as important as what the service includes.
   
   
   

2. Good Cleaning Service Reviews.
    

   Browse through the online reviews of the business you are going to schedule. Look at the negative and positive reviews for the cleaning company you are considering. There is no stronger indicator of how your service will go than actual client testimonials.

3. Organization.
    

   The company should provide you with a detailed cleaning schedule depending on the cleaning service you book. If you are scheduling weekly, bi-weekly, or a one-off cleaning service the cleaning company you choose should always be on-time and arrive and carry out the cleaning services based on the exact cleaning specifications that have been provided to you. The cleaning company you schedule should provide all detergents and equipment as discussed if that is included in your cleaning service. If a cleaning team arrives and they are not equipped with professional cleaning detergents but carry supplies you can purchase then the cleaning company you have booked does not provide cleaning services up to a professional standard. The cleaning service technicians that arrive should be on-time and carry out the cleaning service exactly as described when you originally scheduled your cleaning services.
   
   
   

4. Quality.
    

   You are looking for the best possible cleaning service. The cleaning company you choose should take pride in their work and base it on providing quality cleaning services. The cleaning company you choose should focus on providing quality cleaning services for every client, on every visit. When you make your choice and finalize your appointment with a professional cleaning company and schedule a professional cleaning service you should be given a detailed description of what your cleaning service will cover. After your cleaning service has taken place inspect your home and make sure that that checklist has been followed and that you have received a quality cleaning service.
   
   
   

5.  Trustworthy cleaners.
    

   The cleaning staff on hand are the most important asset of any professional cleaning company. Before you finalize your appointment with any professional cleaning company asks a few questions about their cleaning staff. Make sure that the cleaners that will arrive and clean your home have undergone proper cleaning training procedures, have a few years of experience in providing professional cleaning services, and have insurance. The cleaners that will be with you and provide you with the cleaning service itself are the most important part of the actual service. Making sure that the professional cleaners that will be with you are fully insured will take a lot of the worry and stress out of the service. Make sure you can fully trust the cleaning company and cleaners you choose.
   
   
   

6.  Trustworthy booking process.
    

   When you choose a cleaning company and book your cleaning service with them, that company will have to handle your personal information and payment details. Tying to a few previous points we made earlier that cleaning company should handle your details with professionalism and confidentiality. How the cleaning company you choose will handle your booking and personal information, and the manner they discuss the service with you will give you a lot of information on how the actual cleaning service will go.
   
   
   

7. Legal Assurances.
    

   You should at the bare minimum receive a confirmation email about finalizing your appointment. The company should send you a professional invoice confirming your appointment or offer a form of legal binding contract when you book their cleaning services.
   
   
   

8. Eco-friendly cleaning process.
    

   In general, scheduling a professional cleaning company will lower your carbon footprint. For everyone's safety make sure that the cleaning detergents that are going to be used during your cleaning service are non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
   
   
   

9. Experience.
    

   One of the most important parts, when you are choosing a professional cleaning company, is experience. Experience is an incredibly important part of the decision you are going to make when choosing the right cleaning company. If the cleaning company you are considering has had a consistent track record of providing professional and quality cleaning services over many years then they will have the needed experience and expertise. How important experience is cannot be overstated, if the cleaning company you are observing and the cleaning teams are experienced then that is a very strong indicator that you will receive a quality cleaning service.
   
   
   

10. Customer-orientated.
     

    All of the cleaning companies you contact and file an inquiry with should put their clients as their number one priority. The cleaning company you reach out to should be open, helpful, and honest in their discussions with you. They should answer all of your questions in an adequate and informative manner and should provide you with genuine and useful information about your cleaning service. Strong and positive communication with the cleaning company is key to your cleaning service going according to plan. If you are booking an end-of-tenancy cleaning, for example, the last thing you need is further stress surrounding your move brought about by the cleaning company you choose not adequately communicating with you. If issues surrounding your cleaning service are to arise the cleaning company you have chosen should offer you concreate solutions in an effective time frame. Customer focus is a key part of making your decision when choosing a professional cleaning company.

If you have any personal requirements for your cleaning service make sure you confirm if those can be included as priorities. Also, your cleaning service should be tailored to your specific cleaning needs, if the company you are looking to schedule cannot accommodate a specific request, for example, add carpet cleaning to your deep cleaning service, look elsewhere.
