How to Find Good House Cleaners in Miami

Is cleaning your home no longer something you have time for?

In Miami, life can be so busy and hectic that time flies and we don’t even notice it. Aside from not noticing how fast the time passes when busy, there’s another thing we don’t notice - how long it’s been since your last cleaning service. Think about it: when’s the last time you cleaned the inside of your microwave, dusted your shelves, or cleaned underneath your bed? Nobody can blame you for forgetting to clean your home. That’s why Miami offers a wide range of convenient home cleaning services for you and all of the wonderful residents of this city. 

You might be wondering if there are so many cleaning services available, which ones are actually worth it? With the abundance of companies out there, it’s hard to know at face value which cleaning company is going to be the best. You’re trusting house cleaners to step inside your home - your personal space where you recharge yourself and create fond memories. Who can you trust to clean your home just the way you want it?

As they say, it takes one to know one; and that’s what makes us more than qualified to list down our professional insights. Although, if you want to try house cleaning in your own spare time, you can read more about our curated House Cleaning Checklist.

Here is our master list of what to look for when hiring a cleaning service:

‍

Know What You Want

When finding a cleaning company, you and the professional cleaners should have a mutual exchange of expectations. It’s important for you to know what you want and know what the cleaning company can offer you.

It’s easy to call a company and tell them you want your house cleaned. Odds are when you say that, you’ll get a different output from each cleaning company; this is because each cleaning company has its own dedicated cleaning checklist depending on what kind of cleaning service you want to have done. That brings us to our second point - are you looking for a regular cleaning, deep cleaning, or recurring cleaning service? If you’re looking for a recurring service, how often do you want cleaning services scheduled?

Before you get on a call with a professional cleaning company, here are some questions to ask yourself:

• What kind of cleaning am I looking for? (regular cleaning, deep cleaning)
• Do I want the whole house cleaned or just parts of it?
• Do I want to pay an hourly rate or a flat rate?
• How often do I need my house cleaned?
• When would I want my house cleaned?

Once you’ve answered these questions, it’s time to contact a cleaning company and discuss if they can meet your expectations without exceeding your ideal budget.

Knowing Where to Look is the Key

There are hundreds of cleaning services available for you to choose from and it can be overwhelming if you don’t know where to find the best ones.

One of the best ways to find a reliable cleaning service would be through referrals. Start by asking your friends and family if they’ve used any cleaning companies and how their previous experiences went. If they had a great experience, then you most likely will, too! 

If the referral method was not successful for you, then online research is an excellent alternative to finding great house cleaners. These days, a reliable cleaning company should have a reputable online presence and have good reviews online. You can check out Google, Facebook, or even Reddit to read about the experiences of previous customers. It’s always best to do your research on a company first before actually contacting them to see if they are true to their online word.

‍

Time To Price Hunt

After establishing your needs, it’s time to shop around to see which company can offer you the best bang for your buck and the quality you’re looking for.

Cleaning companies nowadays offer various methods of creating a price quote for your house. Some companies perform onsite visits to check out your house first to make a quote for you. Other companies have utilized technology and can provide you with a quote online in just a few minutes with a couple of questions about your home. There are also some companies who won’t provide you with a price quote at all - they will simply tell you how much their hourly labor fee is and depending on how many hours it takes to clean your house, that would be your final price.

Price quotes can be based on a number of factors:

• The size of your house
• How many bedrooms and bathrooms you have
• The presence of pets or children
• The last time your house was cleaned

Flat rate quotes and hourly prices have their own unique benefits. With flat rates, you’ll know the final price up front and what you’re signing up for. No matter how long it takes, rest assured that the job will be done. However, with hourly pricing, you have the option to limit the cleaning company to a certain number of hours if you want to have a tighter grip on your budget. On the other hand, you’ll never really know the final price of an hourly cleaning service until the job is complete. 

Many cleaning companies also offer package deals or seasonal deals, depending on the time of the year. Also, keep in mind that recurring house cleaning services are often cheaper with a special discount compared to hiring cleaning professionals occasionally. 

‍

Check Their Credentials

By this point, you’ve already done your research and found an ideal cleaning company that you’d like to schedule a house cleaning service with. While there are a comparable number of companies out there all offering the same cleaning service, not all of them offer the same quality and guarantees.

The professional cleaners that arrive at your home should know what they’re doing and perform well. On top of that, the company you hired them from should be fully licensed and insured. This is super important for both you and the cleaner that comes into your home in case anything happens during the service that may cause damage. 

Checking on details like this can save you from potential headaches in the future and ensures that your home is in safe, trusted hands. Details would also include checking if the professionals have gone through background checks, cleaning experience and/or training, a police clearance, and updated insurance.

Another important aspect of any cleaning service is the guarantee they offer if you find the cleaning unsatisfactory or if a few spots were missed. The usual rule of thumb for service guarantees is that a complimentary re-clean is offered for any missed spots during the cleaning service if reported within 24 hours of the service being finished. 

It is completely acceptable to ask cleaning companies before booking a service if they are licensed and insured. Depending on how the company representatives answer, that should already be your green or red light. If, by any chance, you ask a question about credentials to them and they are unable to answer, then you should think about moving on to the next cleaning company!

Finding the Best Cleaning Company Will Save You in the Long Run

 You might be wondering, what’s the point of all this research when I can call up the first cleaning company I find on the internet? Well, think of it as a future investment in your time and peace of mind. You’re letting people you’ve never met before into your house - they’re touching your furniture, cleaning your toilets, scrubbing your kitchen sink….a lot could happen in the wrong hands. When you hire a trusted cleaning company to do the job, you’re providing them with an opportunity to grow as a small business while in exchange, they clean your home with no worries on your end because you did your research beforehand and know exactly what you’re going to get. 

Cleaning companies who go the extra mile for their clients most likely produce a better experience overall, compared to other companies who just show up, clean, and leave. When booking a cleaning service, cleaning is a major part of it; but it’s also about professionalism, communication, and reliability.
