Tips on Hiring Maid Services in Calgary, Alberta

When you search for “Calgary maid services” TONS of listings will show up, some of them are reputable companies, some of them are not. So which company out of all those listings is the right one for you?

Here are a few tips on how to hire the RIGHT maid service:

Are they bonded and insured? When a cleaning service mentions that they are bonded it means that they have a type of insurance that protects you from any criminal acts made by an employee who comes into your home and cleans it. When they mention that they are insured it means you are protected if an employee causes an accident ex. Fire, flooding/leaking, losing a key, etc… If they are bonded and insured then this is a good sign of a reputable cleaning company, eliminate any companies that are not bonded and insured.  Also, it’s a good idea to ask the cleaning company if their employees have had criminal background checks, if employee references are checked and if residence status is confirmed.  

Ask them questions and if they have any references: Choosing a cleaning company that has a good reputation is a top priority for most people. If you are concerned about the safety of your home and belongings then ask the cleaning company if they have any references for you to contact.  If you do not feel comfortable calling a reference then ask the cleaning company a few questions. Some good questions include: What type of cleaning products do they use? How long have they been in business? How many people will be in your home? Do they change cleaning cloths between homes?

Do they guarantee their work: What if the cleaning company makes a mistake? Should you be the one to pay for it? The answer is no, you shouldn't pay for your maid service to make mistakes.  Make sure they are customer oriented and have a 100% satisfaction guarantee!

Price: Cheap isn't always better but you don’t have to be rich either in order to hire a maid service. Find a cleaning company in Calgary that has a reasonable price and that will provide you with a detailed estimate.

The process of hiring a cleaning company in Calgary is truly a hit and miss situation however, hopefully these tips will put you on the right track to hiring a trustworthy cleaning company!
