Requesting a Housekeeping Service: How To Know If You Need Regular or Deep Cleaning Services

It can bit a bit daunting to hire a professional janitorial company to clean your house for the first time. If you’ve never gotten a professional cleaning service, it is nice to know what kind of services you need, so you don’t overpay for services you aren’t looking for. It also helps to keep you from being disappointed if you know what to expect.

Before calling a cleaning company, look around your place and decide what you want cleaned. Maybe you already do a regular upkeep by dusting and sweeping/vacuuming floors, but noticed that the bathroom and kitchen need some love. Or you could look around and notice that your home is not in dire need of a really detailed cleaning, but doing the basics for a few hours is enough.

For most cleaning companies regular services, which is basic cleaning, include floor sweeping, and moping, outside surfaces like tables, counters, sinks, bathroom scrubbing of fixtures, fixing the bed, and light dusting. This cleaning usually comes at a flat rate depending on how many rooms you have, and no one has to go over and look at the place beforehand.

Deep services is defined as a really thorough cleaning. The basic cleaning should be included in this, but this is a good option if you have parts of your home that need extra attention, such as bookshelves, or cabinets that haven’t been cleaned in a while, and are dusty. A good deep cleaner will take out all of the objects in the cabinet, or bookshelf, rid the area of dust, and then put back the objects. Deep cleaning can also include a detailed windowsill, oven cleaning, and a top to bottom refrigerator cleaning. Deep cleaning services are usually charged by the hour with a minimum set of hours, such as three or four.

Laundry service is something that is different for every cleaning company. I have seen some companies include one load of laundry in regular services, while other companies charge extra for laundry service, or will only wash bed sheets, and towels. A janitorial company can do you laundry, but it can take away from the time used for cleaning your place. deep cleaning services
