Dear Miss Clean: GET A JUMP ON My house is a mess, but should I hire an independent person or a professional service? What are the pros and cons of each? Plus, what type of questions should I ask them? SUMMER! Drowning In Dirt, Smith Street, Brooklyn

Dear Drowning: As our lifestyles have changed over the past 20 years, America’s need for house cleaning technicians have increased dramatically. It is imperative you choose wisely. The pros of hiring an independent cleaning person: 1) there is a more personal relationship; 2) you can keep your cost down, with the average pay ranging from $10-$20 dollars per hour. Cons: ® ALL STORE 1) you run the risk of theft and property damage; 2) you risk possible lawsuits should they become MERCHANDISE WITH THIS AD hurt in your home, so there can be worker’s comp issues; 3) if your person forgets to pay taxes on 10% OFF the money you pay them, you can be held liable; 4) they have no supervision (have you ever said any of these things? “She started off great, but recently she has been slacking off... she leaves earlier AMERICAN HOUSEWARES and earlier.... She doesn’t do anything I say... the work is inconsistent... She ruined the finish on my 85 Court Street in Downtown Brooklyn antique table by using a harsh chemical cleanser.... But I’m afraid to lose her because I trust her, and Ê"«iÊÇÊ >ÞÃÊÊ7iiÊUÊ ÊUÊÇ£n®ÊÓ{Îän{{ she has been with us so long.”) When hiring a professional cleaning service you reduce your own personal and property risks. All taxes, liability, and worker’s comp concerns are the responsibility of the service (which should be insured and bonded). Service techs are not only trained to understand and clean special surfaces/ floors but understand customer service, to insure your consistent satisfaction. Another positive feature: you are released of the uncomfortable burden of correcting poor service and all that is required is a telephone call to the service team manager or owner, who will do the follow up and correction STAIR LIFTS for you. After all, you hired a service to manage your cleaning needs so YOU don’t have to! Here are some important questions to ask when interviewing cleaning services: 1) Are they FREE Estimate insured and bonded? 2) How do they hire, and do they do background checks? 3) How are customer complaints handled, and how do they provide quality control? 4) Do they provide the clean- and in-home ing supplies and equipment? 5) Are they “green minded” and use environmentally safe products? 6) consultation Are they flexible with cleaning plans, payments? And a reputable business will stand by guarantees, build their business on a reputation of ethics and strong customer satisfaction.
