Two million people in Australia pay for someone to do the housework

One of the least fun things you are going to have to do when you own a house is the cleaning. But it's OK to ask for help!

This doesn’t mean the regular sweeping of the floors and so on. This covers the deeper cleaning of the home surfaces, like the removal of built up grime and mildew. This is going to disgust you on a lot of different levels. In addition to this, it can be quite difficult to do the cleaning the right way. The good thing is that you don’t have to do it on your own.

The range can be confusing

There are thousands of companies all over the country that offer cleaning services for a variety of different places, including home. Companies and sites like cpcservices.com.au are more than willing to do all your home cleaning for you, for the right price. However, this wide range of companies begins to seem more like a curse than a blessing, mainly because choosing the right one is going to be such a chore. Thankfully, there are some quick tips you can follow to ensure you make the right choice.

Set a plan

One important thing to do before doing the actual searching is to cordon off the rooms in your house that are “restricted access”. Mark off the parts of your home that you feel need higher priority in cleaning than the rest. In addition to this, try and make a list of the surfaces you want the company to clean. Some people want their windows and basements done while others just want external cleaning. Figure out what you need and then work with that.

Ask your friends

When it comes to the actual choosing of the cleaning service, you should ask people you trust for a review of their favourite service. A lot of customers are more than delighted to tell you about their trusted partner in home cleaning. People even get commissions for recommending the right company to you (something you could also take advantage of later).

Do research and checks

Draw up a list of the possible companies. Do as much research as you can into the features of each service. Some companies aren’t insured. This means that if something goes wrong during the cleaning you will end up having to foot the bill for repairs and replacement yourself. You are definitely going to want to cross the companies that aren’t insured off your list.

bucket

Do a background check on the employees who will be entering your home to clean it for you. Some employees aren’t legal residents. This could make you a facilitator for a crime, technically speaking. You need to make sure the people they send over are legally viable and that they don’t have a criminal record of any kind.

Ask for an appraisal

Ask for a consultation and make sure that it is free. The company will send someone over to your home to check it out from top to bottom and give you a quotation of the price you will have to pay for the utilisation of their services. If the company doesn’t offer this service, you will have to exercise caution. Be aware of what you are getting into BEFORE you have to pay the price.

Consider the fee

You should look for a company that asks for a single flat rate instead of one that charges you by the hour. This way you won’t have to worry about some employees working slowly. If the company charges you buy the hour, there is a very real risk that they will delay in order to get paid more.

Don’t instantly go for the company that asks for the cheapest price either. Just because a service is cheaper than another doesn’t mean you will get the same level of quality. You need to be careful, especially when your gut tells you that the deal you are getting is too good to be true. Investigate the deals you get to see if the services they offer are really worth the money you pay, no matter how low.

Following a few tips is going to go a long way when choosing the right cleaning service for you. There are many options out there so you need to make sure that you are making the right choice. The most important thing is that you do your research!
