It is normal to interview four different companies to obtain an estimate before you go with one of them. Check the bbb.org or any review sites in Australia for the company’s reviews or complaints history. Be cautious of companies that have poor customers’ reviews and several complaints and look at how they address them.
- Interview Candidates
Talk to several candidates to figure out which option will be the best option for you, whether to hire a company or go with an individual cleaner. Also, request a person-to-person meeting with a representative from the cleaning companies, including the person who will do the cleaning of your home or office. Find out how comfortable you would be with them during the interview as they will be cleaning your home or business. Find out the types of cleaning products they will use, especially if you have a family member or colleagues that are allergic to harsh chemicals.
- Check Credentials
You must only consider a bonded and insured individual or business for hire. This will offer you and your family protection if something gets lost or damaged or if anyone gets injured while on the cleaning job. Whether you are hiring a cleaner as an individual or a company, ask that the company conduct background checks on workers cleaning your home or dig yourself for safety purposes.

Do the cleaners use effective COVID cleaning products that are registered with the EPA? Cleaners are expected to disinfect often touched surfaces in the homes thoroughly. They should put on masks and gloves for additional protection. They must ensure the use of proper physical distancing during the job. All these will be discovered from their answer to your questions.

Request for a reference from the cleaning company or individual before you submit an offer. During a conversation with the references, be sure to look out for businesses or individuals with repeated, satisfied customers. Request for the services used by the references and if their expectations were met by the business.
- Talk about Cost
Find out the duration of work it took the cleaning service. Get the inclusions in their services, and be sure it contains everything you would like to clean. Have you any specific? Inform the cleaning company in advance in order to help them prepare for your request. The cleaning service’s rep should take a walk around your home or office before issuing an estimate. Also, ask if the cleaning agency provides cleaning supplies; else, cleaning services should not be costly. Note that cheaper cleaning services may be cutting back on the quality of service they render.
- Request a Written Contract
During your final discussion and decision with the company, go over the written contract that contains the services the cleaners will offer and the duration in which the task must be completed.
