Number three on that list is, after I leave, check the base of the toilet and the top of the fridge. If they’re clean, you know I’m thorough.
I could not agree with that statement more! I think the sign of a quality cleaning company clearly lies in the attention to detail. When a client is hiring a house cleaning service to do the job, they are most often hiring them to pay attention to detail. They are not hiring them to do a surface cleaning or just the “main traffic areas”. They want to know the things they don’t have time to do will be done. Things like special attention to corners and edges or dusting.
I actually believe there are a few other places that someone should check when determining the quality of a cleaner. Not only should someone check the top of the fridge, but they should be checking the vent that is on the bottom of the fridge too. The cleaning that should be being done in a clients home is from the top to the bottom. Not from the top to sort of the middle and sometimes to the bottom.
Another thing to check are ceiling fans. If you are working with a good company, they should be dusting those celling fans atleast once per month. This time of year ceiling fans are collecting a lot of dust. They are collecting dust because they are not being used. It is not pleasant to turn it on for the first time after a long winter of no dusting and have all the dust falling all over your house. Also breathing in all that dust can’t be good for you.
There are many other places I could share with you to check, but the simple fact of the matter is if you are working with a good company, there should be few areas you need to worry about. Don’t mistake this for, you should expect perfection, because you shouldn’t. However you should come home to a house that is clean and where you can tell, there has been special attention paid to the details.
Lookout for my next article which will cover number four on the list. Number four is many cleaning companies do not run any sort of background check or even check references. I answered an ad, I was on time and presentable, and I was willing to take the job. That is all most companies care about. If you have any questions call Total Cleaning Plus to get all your answers.
