Maids Can Be Affordable With These Tips

Do you think that hiring a cleaning service is out of your price range? If you need the help that hiring maids would provide, there are a few things you should know about way to save money on cleaning service. Before you hire, make sure you have considered these money-saving tips.

First, call around to find an affordable service. Maids are highly competitive professionals, so there may be a bit of a difference in price from one service to the next. Use the power of competition to get yourself a better rate. You also want to ask about any new customer discount offers that they have. These are more common than you might think, because cleaning services are always looking for ways to get new customers to sign up for their services. 

Remember the rule that the longer the maids are in your home, the more you will pay for their services. To minimize the amount of time they have to clean, de-clutter your home. This will give the cleaning professionals less to clean around, and you will pay less for the services. 

One way you can cut down on your bill is to limit the number of rooms that you have cleaned. You may want to ask them to clean just the main rooms, like the bathrooms, living room, and kitchen, and leave the bedrooms to do on your own. This will keep your home “company ready” without driving up your cleaning bill.

You hire professional cleaners in order to avoid the need to clean on your own, but you may be able to lower the price by doing a few simple cleaning tasks between visits. For instance, if you squeegee your shower after every shower, less grime and mildew will develop, and it will take less time for the cleaning service to do your bathrooms. Similarly, if you wipe down your counters and toilet every day using disposable cleaning wipes, you will leave less of a mess for the maids to tackle when they do come. 

If you are happy with the services you receive, consider giving a referral. You might get a discount on subsequent cleanings if your referral individual uses your name. Remember, again, that the cleaning company is always looking for more business. Ask about the referral bonus process, if there is one in place, before you start recommending your cleaning service to ensure that you receive it, and only pass on a referral if you are happy with the work you have received. 

Finally, sing the cleaning company more often can actually make it more affordable. Regular service is often charged a lower rate than the once-in-a-while cleanings, because the maids know that they will have less to tackle each time they visit since they are helping you in maintaining the cleanliness of your property. The more often the cleaners come, the less you will pay for each visit. The home simply won’t have as much time to get dirty.
