I am a HOUSE CLEANER, I come into a ready to clean home, meaning it's free of clutter and each room is ready for me to dust, scrub, vacuum etc.
I also customize my cleans to each client's needs, and rate them accordingly. Some clients may need a little organizing, beds made, toys picked up, laundry folded, or even dishes washed. I’m happy to do these things if we discuss it prior to your services.
I get this info up front. But these services aren't included in a regular cleaning. So expecting them, or asking for them after services have been established, means a rate difference.
If you're needing/expecting different services, communicate those clearly when hiring a service.
You may find you're needing a completely different service than what you initially thought. That’s okay, I’m here to help!
I break this down so you understand when you reach out for your house to be cleaned, you need to know what kind of service you're expecting so that you can contact the correct person. Communication is key.
Most house cleaners have lists of tasks performed. If you have extras you're needing you would discuss these from the beginning so that your rate reflects those needs or so your cleaner can address any tasks they don't perform up front.
Miscommunication happens so often due to not understanding clients expectations and not setting clear guidelines, as well as the confusion of the differences between each kind of service. I have an open communication policy. I’m here to help you!
Most cleaning services are customizable at a cost, or they can at least lead you in the right direction.
If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to me. I’m happy to help!
