Cleaners you can trust when leaving your flat for a cleaning

What to consider before hiring a maid

Always run a background check, ensure to check exactly who it is that you’re hiring. Make sure that they have qualifications in all types of cleaning and can provide proof of their training in using different cleaning products on multiple types of surfaces. A well trusted and qualified cleaner will be able to provide photos of their previous work. Also make sure that the maid has insurance, you need to be assured that if any  damages from their cleaning is fully covered by their insurance. Lastly, know their rates, be clear on the prices for the cleaning service your booking and be certain to ask if there is any chance for hidden costs. The last thing you want is for the cleaning to have been complete and then the price have gone up for some reason, most cleaners will contact you during the clean if there is an increase in price for any reason to confirm you are happy for them to continue with the clean.

Advantages of leaving the house when the maid comes

There are many advantages to leaving the property when the maid is cleaning. Firstly you can leave and get on with your day, you are not tied to being home so any plans you have do not need to be moved or changed. This allows your focus to be elsewhere instead of waiting and worrying about the things you could be getting done. When the maid is left we find that 9 times out of 10 they will clean faster and more efficiently when they don’t have you home waiting for them to finish, It also gives them space to get the cleaning done without you being in the way and making for awkward conversation if they need you to leave a room so they can complete the clean.
