Should hire a cleaning company or a individual?

Staying on top of your house cleaning is essential! We have come up with a few tips to see which service is best for you: a cleaning company or an individual cleaner?

Cleaning companies:

  • They are insured and bonded to protect the homeowner if someone gets hurt or anything is broken or misplaced. 

  • Staff is equipped to offer flexibility in rescheduling. If one staff member is sick, they can replace the cleaner without an interruption in servicing your home. 

  • Most companies have the resources to train staff efficiently and educate the science behind cleaning. 

  • They tend to bring their own products and tools as they have research for the best. 

  • Because of these facts, cleaning companies tend to charge a higher rate to offset the cost of being a legit company. 

Individual cleaners:

  • Most likely aren't covered by any insurance. The homeowner takes full responsibility for someone getting hurt or if breakage occurs. 

  • When the cleaner becomes sick, your services will be interrupted until the cleaner feels better. Take note that the cleaner may not have the availability right away to resume services immediately. 

  • Because of the discount you receive in hiring an individual cleaner, they usually don't invest in research, education or any certifications. 

  • Most of the time, the homeowner will have to provide the supplies. These could raise the cost of the cleaning an extra $15-25.

  • However, individual cleaners are beneficial for those who need cleaning services when their budget is limited.
