If your house has been a stinky mess lately and you aren’t able to take the time off your busy schedule, you know that you’re in need of a reliable cleaning service that’ll help in gaining a spotless home. Also, you need to focus on getting your workspace cleaned to leave an impression on your visitors and to boost your employee’s productivity. But with so many options available, choosing a reliable option can be daunting. You simply cannot rely on random strangers who’ll enter your house and will be in complete possession of your belongings. Also, they need to be responsible in handling your stuff and give you a sense of reliability that they won’t break or lose anything.
If it sounds challenging, we’re here to help you with this. We’re suggesting a few tips on how to find a reliable professional cleaner to give you the desired results.
You Need to Set a Schedule
Most cleaning companies are busy and often need to be booked days ahead to get the appointment. You must start planning at least a month prior to the date you want the cleaners to arrive. If you live in Queensland; more specifically, if you live in Mackay, they will come clean your house without any hassle. They can do a regular clean, a deep clean and if you happen to be moving out, they even have a moving out service. It can specifically get difficult during holidays and festive seasons as they get overbooked, especially on big holidays like Christmas or Thanksgiving when major parties take place in homes. Start planning ahead and get your cleaners to help you out on time.
Word-of-Mouth Recommendation
The best possible way to hire and trust in your cleaning company is if someone close to you has already witnessed the quality of their services. Ask your friends, family members, or co-workers if they have hired any cleaning service company in the past and if they’ve had satisfying results. It will also give you the reassurance needed to let helpers enter your private space and go through your stuff.
Look for Online Reviews
If none of your friends or acquaintances can help you in suggesting a reliable cleaning company, you need to search for one online. There are a lot of professional companies that have websites and are mentioned on trusted site rankings. You can list a few companies in your region and look for individual reviews and rankings, and their willingness to provide services quickly. At times, you need to ignore a couple of bad reviews compared to numerous good reviews because people have different levels of expectations and every cleaning situation is different. Usually, Google and Yelp reviews are reliable and can give you a realistic picture when hiring a trustworthy company.
Check for Licenses and Insurance
You need to check the company’s credentials like the licensing, history of the company, and the insurance and bonding. Often, old companies who have been thriving for a while can automatically ensure the quality of services they deliver, as compared to the newly established companies. You also need to check if they have an operating license and whether it is up to date. It shows genuineness and reliability. Lastly, check whether they are insured. If there’s a way, look for information on the employees’ background check by the company.
Request to Talk to Their Clients
As word-of-mouth recommendations are the best, you can request listed companies to talk to their clients to get honest reviews. This is the second best option after not receiving enough information from your contacts. A few companies who offer good services but don’t have enough budget for marketing and advertising often go unnoticed. This is when talking to their clients helps. Their readiness to let you talk to their clients also shows the quality of their past services. If they aren’t willing to share the information, there might have been some issues of service delivery in the past and thus you’d know it’s a sign to drop the option.
Even if you get in touch with any customer, you can ask a few basic questions about the time required by the company, how they got their reference, if they’d hire them again, if they were affordable, and their satisfaction in hiring them. It’d give you a clear picture and you can arrive at a decision quickly.
Talk to the Company Directly
If you’ve arrived at the last stage of the decision with just two or three companies left to choose from, you can talk to the company’s representative to ask about the kind of pricing, getting quotes from all companies, and comparing the rates to know the best overall option for you.
All these points combined will allow you to pick a company that’s not only reliable but also quick, affordable, trustworthy, and safe. After all, it’s your private space we’re talking about.
