Why Should I Hire a Cleaning Company when I can Pay Less for an Independent Cleaner?

Details Often a cleaning company will provide a more detailed cleaning that an  individual cleaner won’t. Why? Cleaning companies organize their employees to follow  a routine that allows a more efficient, consistent cleaning, including a checklist and a  quality review process that ensures the company’s standard.

Training does matter! This is a very subjective business, so any individual  (including an employee) can easily judge their own priorities or “way” to clean; the  efficiency and consistency provided in a professional cleaning service combats the  individual variation.

Management Support Nobody is perfect, so when something is missed or you  need something communicated to the cleaner, you have a dedicated office to ensure  you get the service you expect.

Trustworthiness The most important part of hiring a house cleaning company is  finding someone you trust. These cleaners will be inside your home, in every room of  your house. They will be in close proximity to your valuables. They will be touching the  things you use every day.

∙ Not only do you have to trust them, but you should also ensure they pass a  background check and have references that show they’ve worked well in this industry before.That process comes automatically when you choose to work  with a house cleaning company. They sift through dozens of applications to find  the right person for the job. They perform thorough interviews and take the time  to perform background checks and dig deep into references to ensure they hire  someone who is reliable, respectful, and knows how to clean.

Backups Imagine this scenario: you have a party in your home on Friday night for  close friends and acquaintances. Your cleaner is scheduled Friday morning. What  happens if she calls in sick?

∙ That can be a reality when you work with an individual. But when you work with a  house cleaning company, that’s never the case. Our cleaning crews go out as a  team. If one person calls in sick, it would never show in the service delivered to  you. You’ll still have a reliable crew show up at your home and clean every room  as agreed upon.

Insured and Bonded This is something few homeowners think of. Depending on  the cleaner you choose to bring into your home, you may be considered their employer.  What happens if they are injured on the job? Do you have worker’s compensation

insurance? Are you insured if the cleaner breaks or damages something in your home?  Your regular homeowner insurance may not cover the damage.

∙ By choosing to work with a house cleaning company, you’ll avoid this situation  altogether. Professional cleaning companies will have insurance to cover worker  injuries and for in-home damages.

Supporting the community It is beneficial to be hired as an employee rather  than the instability of self-employed income. The cleaners are W-2 employees, which  gives them benefits (protection if they are hurt on the job, safe working standards,  unemployment benefits, Federal Income, Social Security & Medicare taxes withheld,  etc.), and the company is invested in supporting them.

∙ As the most important (and highest) business cost, service businesses are  motivated to keep happy, healthy, and productive employees- which means  stable/ full hours, benefits, a healthy supportive atmosphere, and continued  growth opportunities.

Commitment With a business reputation at stake, everyone strives for excellence  all the time.

Products and equipment Businesses tend to invest in high quality supplies  and equipment which can be expensed and/or depreciated, and they bring all they need  without using yours. For ecomaids- the quality of the products is very important, not only  for the cleaning process, but for our commitment to the health of the home and the planet  without the toxins found in traditional products.
