Know what to expect

A good house cleaner will do just about anything you need inside your house. While most won’t do any landscaping, sweep your porch or anything like that, when it comes to the interior of your home, all you have to do is ask. Need your refrigerator cleaned out? Done. Can’t think about your Spring cleaning because it’s so overwhelming? Don’t worry about it. Need someone to come a few times a year to clean your windows? No problem. Want your house to be sparkling every week with regular cleanings? Even better. Here’s a rundown of a few basic services you can expect. Keep in mind though, they are not limited to these items.
* Polish and dust woodwork and furniture.
* Move items from tables and shelves to dust, rather than dusting around them.
* Clean and polish all mirrors, glass and chrome.
* Dust ledges and windowsills
* Clean walls and baseboards
* Dust knickknacks and frames
* Vacuum all rugs and carpets
* Mop and sanitize all wood, ceramic or hard floors
* Empty trash cans and ashtrays
* Generally clean, straighten and organize all spaces
* Make beds and change linens if clean sheets are available
* Fold loose clothes and generally organize all bedrooms
Know a good house cleaner when you see one
Be sure to look for someone with a few basic qualities.
* Find someone who is bonded and insured. You may not find this in smaller operations or with an individual house cleaner. Hiring a larger service, like 1st Class Cleaning, helps insure their employees are safe in your home.
* Make sure whomever you invite into your home has had a background check. You want to know your family is safe, as well as your home. This is especially important if you intend to have the house cleaner come when you aren’t home. This is an appealing idea for people who work a lot and want to come home to a clean house. However it can open yourself up to a whole host of dangers, so make sure whomever you get is trustworthy. 1st Class Cleaning puts all their employees through a background check, to ensure the people in your home are reliable, and just there to do their jobs right.
* Find someone with a guarantee. What happens if you’re not happy with the work they did? Is it your loss? Or, do they have some way to make you happy, no matter what. The bottom line is how good is their customer service? 1st Class Cleaning offers an unconditional satisfaction guarantee. That means if you’re unhappy for any reason they will come back and clean your home again, no questions asked. So don’t worry about having to justify yourself to them. All they care about is the fact that you’re unhappy.
