Professional cleaners will save you time and provide you with the sparkling home you have always wanted

Tips on Hiring Clenaers

Whether you’re moving to a new flat or renovating your old home, there are so many things you will have to organize and supervise. In all of this commotion it is no wonder you may not find the time to perform a good cleaning prior your moving in or before all of your furniture and belongings are returned to their old places after all construction workers are done and gone. In this situation you may want to hire professional cleaners, who will not only perform the whole cleaning much quicker, but thanks to their experience and equipment, will most likely do a much better job that what you would expect. However before you let any cleaners in your home, you may want to do a bit of a research and find the best team for you.

How to pick the best cleaning company

  1. Research good cleaners : Go on the internet and find out all the local cleaners for your area. London has many companies to offer, but a big number of them won’t do a good job. Look for positive feedback, find comparison sites or simply ask around your circle of friends. You may have a friend who can recommend a company.
  2. Get an on-site estimate: Make sure everything is in the final estimate. Having it done in your home leaves no room for misunderstandings regarding the volume of work needed to be done. Ask the cleaners to be clear about what services will be supplied and write them down. Things you will most likely need in a post renovation or removal clean include removal of labels from furniture, removal of tape from walls and windows, dust and paint clean from light switched and electrical sockets, paint removal from windows and floors, spot cleaning on walls and ceilings, hygienic bathroom clean and floor clean and vacuum.
  3. Familiarize yourself with insurance options: Just like how you have to be familiar with all terms and conditions when picking movers, look through all insurance options by yourself or with the help of the cleaning agent, make sure your new home is properly protected in case anything becomes damaged in the process.
  4. Sign a contract: Even if this is a one-off cleaning procedure, make sure the services you will be provided and the amount of money you will pay for them are listed and signed. This way the company is liable in case of price mismatch, lost belongings or badly done work.
  5. Are you guaranteed quality: Look for a cleaning company that offers a full redo of their services should their clients wish for one. This speaks of good customer quality and confidence in the company’s team.
  6. Think regular cleaning: After a big renovation or removal job, dust needs a week to settle down. This means that you might be better off hiring regular cleaners or at least divide their labor through the week, otherwise the spotless house you will receive after the cleaning process may not last for long.

What to expect for your money

Professional cleaning services are your best option when moving.
Both your old home and your new one will be spotless if you hire professional cleaning services when moving.
  • Price Matters: After you receive price quotes from all the companies that you invited over for an on-site estimate, you can sit down and compare the offers. There will most likely be some very drastic numbers, from horribly high to unbelievably low. Don’t go for the cheapest quote immediately, for it may be a way to make you hire these people, which can add additional charges after the job is done. In the end you may have to pay much higher than the average price quote you had received before.
  • Estimating costs: The price may be determined either by the amount of time needed to do the work or by the size of the team and the size of the property. This is not a regular cleaning deal, it requires much harsher chemicals and stronger equipment than a regular domestic or spring clean. Thus you can expect a higher price, very often the cleaners will go into great detail when cleaning newly put tiles, door frames or behind furniture and hard to reach places.
  • Additional charges: Here are a few of the services that are not necessarily listed in the price and may require additional payment: carpet steam cleaning, steam clean of upholstery, floor polishing, exterior high pressure water cleaning, rubbish removal, garage cleaning or other outdoor facility,  heavy cleaning.
  • Consider the benefits: You may consider to perform this clean yourself but here are some of the advantages of having it done by professionals: you will have to buy very strong chemicals, and since you won’t have the training or machines, still won’t have the same results, In the end you will be left with half used expensive cleaning solutions which will never see day light again. You may damage tempered glass or stainless steel details, by using the wrong chemicals. Did you know you can ruin a new carpet by using a household vacuum cleaner. Don’t waste money repairing the things that got broken and trust the professionals.

  1. These tips are really incredible. People now days remains very busy in their own work so hiring a professional cleaner is a brilliant idea. Some removal companies have now started offering cleaning services, meaning that they will even clean your old home and your new one too, so that you do not have to worry about settling into a dirty/unclean home.

  2. Theresa well written post. There is no doubt that you could do it your self but in that case most of the things are left as it is. So it is good to hire professional services as they are well trained in their services. But I think beyond this planning is also important don’t let it all on the team. Theresa… your tips are useful for everyone as everything is written in a well manner that anyone can understand.

  3. Some people go for the cheaper option which is not always the best.
    This is a great article with some very useful tips, I think most people will think of this when hiring a professional cleaner.

  4. Thanks for sharing such good cleaning tips and it is tremendous job to keep your surroundings clean and tidy. Cleaning the furniture and carpet on the daily basis is very important as they catches the dust from the environment which can cause you the breathing problems and allergies. So its better to hire the cleaning services because it is not possible for the working class people to do work.

  5. Thanks for the wonderful tips on the cleaning services after the renovations and events. The cleaning after a renovations becomes very much tiring for the person who has renovated his home. SO it is best to take services form the commercial cleaning company which will professionally and clean offices faster than cleaning your self.
