3 Tips for Hiring The Best Residential Cleaners

It can be challenging to find the right person for your home cleaning needs, but this doesn’t have to be the case for you. In this section, we’ll fill you in on some best practices for hiring residential cleaners.

Screen Candidates Thoroughly

The screening process is arguably the most important part of the hiring process. It’s the time when you get to ask questions that highlight people who’d be a good fit as well as those you should pass on. Below are some questions that you should ask anyone interested in cleaning your home.

1. What times are you available to clean my home? Do you require me to be onsite? Asking about their availability will ensure they are coming to your house at the time(s) you prefer.
2. Do you have direct experience? Depending on the specific project or job, you may need a cleaner with specialized experience. Disinfection, sanitization, and regular cleaning all require different cleaning sequences and tools.
3. How do you gauge the quality of your work? The answer to this question will reveal a lot about a specific cleaner’s standards.

Be Clear in Your Requirements

In your Project Gig description, and throughout the screening process, it’s best to be clear and direct. Let candidates know the following information upfront:

• Whether the cleaning position will one-time or ongoing
• The types of cleaning services you require (dishes, bathrooms, dust removal, etc.)
• How much of the house will need cleaning (the entire house, one room, etc.)
• The state of the home (new home, older home, gutted property, etc.)

Gauge Candidates’ Level of Interest

An enthusiastic candidate is more likely to do a great job than a nonchalant one. So, when you’re asking questions, try to get a feel for their level of interest.

Armed with these tips and the GigSmart platform, we have no doubt that you’ll be able to find a great cleaner to provide superior house cleaning services for you.
