Most house cleaning services advertise that they are the best at what they do. So, with the many options for cleaning providers available in Queens, NY, how can you choose which one is best for you?
It’s important when looking for a cleaning service to hire that you understand what you need from them. If you need someone for landscaping or any kind of lawn maintenance, then a house cleaning service may not be the best option. They also won’t handle any power washing needs, or basically anything on the outside of your home.

However, the inside of your house provides an endless list of possibilities. Many companies will tailor their services to meet your specific requirements at that time. Only want someone to come once for a heavy duty Spring cleaning? Just need your windows done occasionally? Or, do you want someone to come weekly to keep your home looking like a photo in a magazine?
Many house cleaning companies offer a range of services including:
* Top to bottom deep cleaning
* Weekly maintenance, including vacuuming, mopping and dusting
* Cleaning all appliances, including the refrigerator and oven inside and out
* Bathrooms
* Windows
* Grout steam cleaning
* Bacteria sanitizing
But, before you move forward with a company that does all these things, there are a few things to consider. Are their employees insured and bonded? Many smaller cleaning companies don’t provide this to their employees, putting you and them at risk if they are hurt in your home, or if your things are damaged. What are their policies regarding personal property damage? Read their customer reviews. Have they had any complaints, especially involving theft? How were these issues resolved? Your own security is also an important consideration. Will they come to your home when you’re not there? If so, who has access to your keys or alarm codes? How can you be sure their employees can be trusted?
Something else to think about is the type of chemicals are they going to use in your home. This should be carefully considered, especially if you have someone with asthma or pets living in your home. Companies like 1st Class Cleaning use only green products manufactured by a company called Method. Their products absorb dirt, rather than break it down with harsh chemicals. They are also environmentally friendly and completely biodegradable. In fact, it’s unnecessary to rinse any surface that’s been cleaned with Method products.
Additionally, how affordable are their services? Do their prices line up with what they’re offering? Does it seem like they’re offering an awful lot for not very much money? This could come back to bite you, if they’re tactic is to lure customers in and then offer low quality work as you will have to pay someone else to clean your home again.
Finally, do they stand behind their work? 1st Class Cleaning offers an Unconditional Satisfaction Guarantee. If you are in any way unhappy with the cleaning, they will come back and redo it for free. So, please don’t hesitate to contact them and schedule your home cleaning today
