1. Search beyond “Cleaning Services Burlington”

You might be located in Burlington, so it makes sense that you are searching for a cleaner local to the area, but there are many near-by cleaning companies that service the Burlington area.

When using a search engine like Google to find residential cleaning services, try the following search terms to expand the list of companies you’ll consider:

Each unique search will bring up a different list of companies – some might overlap – while other times you’ll learn about a new cleaning service that didn’t appear during a prior search.

You should also be specific about the professional cleaning services you’re looking for. For example, try these more focused searches:

The more specific your search is the more likely you will find a professional local cleaning service that offers the services you’re looking for. 

2. List your cleaning service priorities

When it comes to finding a cleaning service you can trust in Burlington, what’s at the top of your list?

  • Do you care most about reliability
  • Do you want only toxin-free eco-friendly products used in your home?
  • Do you only want to work with a licensed and bonded professional?
  • Are you looking for someone your neighbours trust?

Consider what aspects of the cleaning service matter the most to you, and then begin your search. Use your cleaning service priorities when you ask questions during your consultation or quote.

Know that not all professional cleaning services are created equal. So it’s important to ask questions, check Google reviews and even get a word-of-mouth referral. 

More people use professional cleaning services today, so it’s okay to ask your co-workers and neighbours, “do you know a professional cleaning service in Burlington you recommend?”

3. Interview the Cleaner

Ideally, the cleaning service you’re looking for will offer an in-home consultation where you have the opportunity to meet them and ask questions. 

There are plenty of cleaner interview question lists out there that you can draw from when creating your own questions. 

Here are our top 10 must-ask questions:

  1. How many cleaners will be coming each time?
  2. Are you insured and bonded?
  3. Do you bring your own cleaning equipment and supplies?
  4. What services are included?
  5. Is my satisfaction guaranteed?
  6. What should I do with my pets?
  7. How long have you been working as a house cleaner?
  8. Are your cleaning products toxin-free?
  9. When will you provide me with an estimate?
  10. How will you access my home?

4. Understand What They Clean and What You’re Responsible For

Every cleaning service has different expectations of their clients, and each has their own service packages.

For example, do the cleaners you’re interested in include oven and fridge cleaning in their services or not? Will they rotate cleaning areas like baseboards or is that included in every clean?

Are you expected to keep your home tidy and clear away all dishes each time?

Many people hire cleaning services as a way to motivate them to keep their home tidy, while others are looking for a regular housekeeper to come in and take care of tidying, laundry, dishes and cleaning.

5. Look for Excellent Communication Skills

When it comes to scheduling services in your home, you want to work with a cleaner that doesn’t leave you hanging, has a clear approach to scheduling, is fast to rebook if necessary and has a nice rapport with you.

Pay close attention not only to how the service communicates with you during the quote and consultation process, but also their tone and customer service. Do you feel like you can trust them to get back to you quickly?

Do you feel they’re treating you with kindness and respect? Are they warm, friendly and genuine?

Most importantly, do you feel comfortable having their team in your home?
