How Do You Calculate Your Rates?

This is essential to know upfront from your cleaners. Every cleaning company has guidelines for setting its rates. Some companies will charge you an hourly rate, whereas others may charge you based on the size of the project. And some companies may charge you per cleaner they send for your service. Ideally, your cleaning company should provide you with an upfront estimate breakdown of the entire project.

Do You Conduct Background Checks?

You want to feel comfortable when cleaners come into your home so it’s crucial to ask your cleaning company about their recruitment process. Ask them about their background and police checks of employees. You want to make sure your company hires trustworthy and reliable cleaners.

Do You Supply Cleaning Equipment?

A full-service cleaning company will bring their own cleaning supplies and equipment. Whereas some companies may expect to use your cleaning supplies. It’s also valuable to ask if they let you choose particular products that you approve of. For example, a company may have a range of earth-friendly products that you might prefer they use. Here at April Lane’s Home Cleaning, we use only earth-friendly products as a default. For some tougher cleaning tasks, we may ask our clients for permission to use heavy-duty cleaners.

Is There a Satisfaction Guarantee?

Finally, you want to make sure you hire a cleaning company that offers a satisfaction guarantee. This ensures less risk that you’ll be left disappointed by your service. So you should ask if they provide a satisfaction guarantee or offer a refund for a service that doesn’t meet expectations. .
