Experience Counts There are potentially many different ways people can obtain this kind of service. Getting a referral from a friend or relative is one way, but some people may want to look at services that are BBB A+ rated advertised through private party ads on the web. While legitimate services are offered this way, some ads belong to scam artists. And while there are legitimate service providers on these sites, some of them are not bonded or do not have business licenses within the city. Some are not insured, so if one of them gets hurt on the job, problems could occur. A better way to find someone may be to locate a business that has been in the area for a while or many years. These companies will usually have a website and can be verified as to the quality of work they provide. These businesses often have reviews on Yelp, Google, Angie's list or other different consumer sites that can give potential customers more information. Another point to consider is that if a cleaning company has been around for a while, they are likely to provide good service. Or do they put everything in writing through email or text? Why is this important you may ask? If they put your in some form of invoice or writing you as the consumer are protected by the laws we have, if they don't do right by you. If you pay them in cash and talk over the phone well that's a lot harder to prove in court. He said she said and the judge well said did you get it in writing? You don't want to say no your honor I didn't.

Certified and Insured Even the most experienced cleaners experience mishaps at some point in their work. Insurance will help cover damages made in your home, as well as possible injuries that may occur on your grounds. Professional certification and licensing, on the other hand, will help lower the chances of these damages happening in the first place. During your initial discussions with the cleaning company, ask to see proof of any certifications or insurance they have.

Cleaning Supplies Used Some cleaning companies do not explicitly state what sort of cleaning products and tools they use. If someone in your home is sensitive to certain cleaning chemicals, or if someone is concerned about using environmentally-friendly cleaning supplies, check with the service before hiring the company. Cleaning companies might not be able to accommodate last-minute special requests; if you have certain requirements regarding supplies or methods used, make sure the company is able to adjust to your needs.
