Details<\/strong> Often a cleaning company will provide a more detailed cleaning that an\u00a0 individual cleaner won\u2019t. Why? Cleaning companies organize their employees to follow \u00a0a routine that allows a more efficient, consistent cleaning, including a checklist and a \u00a0quality review process that ensures the company’s standard.<\/p>\n

Training does matter! <\/strong>This is a very subjective business, so any individual\u00a0 (including an employee) can easily judge their own priorities or “way” to clean; the \u00a0efficiency and consistency provided in a professional cleaning service combats the \u00a0individual variation.<\/p>\n

Management Support <\/strong>Nobody is perfect, so when something is missed or you\u00a0 need something communicated to the cleaner, you have a dedicated office to ensure \u00a0you get the service you expect.<\/p>\n

Trustworthiness <\/strong>The most important part of hiring a house cleaning company is\u00a0 finding someone you trust. These cleaners will be inside your home, in every room of \u00a0your house. They will be in close proximity to your valuables. They will be touching the \u00a0things you use every day.<\/p>\n

\u2219 Not only do you have to trust them, but you should also ensure they pass a \u00a0background check and have references that show they\u2019ve worked well in this industry before.That process comes automatically when you choose to work \u00a0with a house cleaning company. They sift through dozens of applications to find \u00a0the right person for the job. They perform thorough interviews and take the time \u00a0to perform background checks and dig deep into references to ensure they hire \u00a0someone who is reliable, respectful, and knows how to clean.<\/p>\n

Backups <\/strong>Imagine this scenario: you have a party in your home on Friday night for\u00a0 close friends and acquaintances. Your cleaner is scheduled Friday morning. What \u00a0happens if she calls in sick?<\/p>\n

\u2219 That can be a reality when you work with an individual. But when you work with a \u00a0house cleaning company, that\u2019s never the case. Our cleaning crews go out as a \u00a0team. If one person calls in sick, it would never show in the service delivered to \u00a0you. You\u2019ll still have a reliable crew show up at your home and clean every room \u00a0as agreed upon.<\/p>\n

Insured and Bonded <\/strong>This is something few homeowners think of. Depending on\u00a0 the cleaner you choose to bring into your home, you may be considered their employer. \u00a0What happens if they are injured on the job? Do you have worker\u2019s compensation<\/p>\n

insurance? Are you insured if the cleaner breaks or damages something in your home? \u00a0Your regular homeowner insurance may not cover the damage.<\/p>\n

\u2219 By choosing to work with a house cleaning company, you\u2019ll avoid this situation \u00a0altogether. Professional cleaning companies will have insurance to cover worker \u00a0injuries and for in-home damages.<\/p>\n

Supporting the community <\/strong>It is beneficial to be hired as an employee rather\u00a0 than the instability of self-employed income. The cleaners are W-2 employees, which \u00a0gives them benefits (protection if they are hurt on the job, safe working standards, \u00a0unemployment benefits, Federal Income, Social Security & Medicare taxes withheld, \u00a0etc.), and the company is invested in supporting them.<\/p>\n

\u2219 As the most important (and highest) business cost, service businesses are \u00a0motivated to keep happy, healthy, and productive employees- which means \u00a0stable\/ full hours, benefits, a healthy supportive atmosphere, and continued \u00a0growth opportunities.<\/p>\n

Commitment <\/strong>With a business reputation at stake, everyone strives for excellence\u00a0 all the time.<\/p>\n

Products and equipment <\/strong>Businesses tend to invest in high quality supplies\u00a0 and equipment which can be expensed and\/or depreciated, and they bring all they need\u00a0 without using yours. For ecomaids- the quality of the products is very important, not only\u00a0 for the cleaning process, but for our commitment to the health of the home and the planet\u00a0 without the toxins found in traditional products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
