How To Select A Maid Or Home Cleaning Service
Written By The QualiCare Maids Media Staff

Q: When should I consider a maid service?
A: If your job or current lifestyle doesn’t allow you time
to properly clean your home or apartment, or keep it free of dust,
Clutter, cobwebs, and neatly organized.

Q: How do I select the right maid service?
A: First, you may want to determine how often
you will need a maid to clean your home and apartment,
so that it only requires you to do a minimum amount of upkeep
to maintain the cleanliness and organization of your home,
or apartment.

Next, you may want to search on the Internet under “ maids in”
whatever town or city you live in.
This will be more beneficial than searching a phone book.
thirdly, you want to select a few good reputable services
that you like, and visit their website to see what type
of services they offer that are compatible
with your cleaning needs and budget, but beware
of cheaper services if you are really looking for a service
that will offer you a professional high quality cleaning, because
we all know that some services will be cheaper than others, but if high
quality work is a concern to you, then it is well worth the price and security,
to hire a reputable maid service that is highly rated, or comes highly
recommended, especially with the many services being
offered these days because of the
present job economic situation, which has new services
starting up daily.

Q: How do I price a good maid service?
A: The best maid services charge by the job and by square footage,
and the mediocre services charge by the hour, with a minimum fee,
which can really be costly if they work slow, or they have to re-clean
an area to your satisfaction.
Windows, ceiling fans, and the appliances are usually priced separately.

Q: How do I pre-qualify a maid service?
A: Ask them if they are licensed, bonded, and insured, and if they are,
have them email or fax copies of their credentials for verification.
ask them how long they have been in business, and how many
regular customers do they currently clean for, and how long
have they been cleaning for each customer.
Next, you want to get a recent list of at least 5 of their current customers
that you can contact for a work reference.
Next, you want to ask them if they have had any
customer file a claim against their bonding for
theft, or for breaking anything, and ask if there
has ever been any claims against their insurance
for damage to a customer’s property.
Last but not least, you want to ask them if their
employees are trained in security and safety.

Note: With the recent rise in crime, this information
Will only make you feel secure in hiring a maid service.

Q: Is getting a phone or email estimate better than a home
Inspection estimate?
A: Usually when a company can give you a phone or email
estimate, they are sure that they have the right cleaning
products to do the job, and are usually more professional
and more thorough than so-called Mom & Pop cleaning
services that usually use dollar store products, instead of
commercial cleaning products that are recommended for
certain types of surfaces( wood floors, granite counters,
tile grout, etc.)
