Find those maid services that are bonded, insured and have references and guarantees. Your local maid service generally has many references and testimonials on file and you are welcome to browse through them.
There are cleaning companies that are unscrupulous and do not train, background check or bond their employees. There are several stories cleaning services that do have difficult attitudes and this will cost you in time and money.
Being Honest
A cleaning service that is honest will bond their employees against theft and loss of a customer's property. However, in the event that your house keeper steals from you may not see reimbursement for your losses for quite some time. Most maid services bond up to $25,000 in property damage or losses. This means that if a housekeeper is arrested and found guilty the bonding company will pay for your losses. You do have wait for arrest and conviction. However, a bond is your insurance that you will be reimbursed.
Currently in the United States there are over 22,000 cleaning companies franchised, local and individual. There are many employees in maid and cleaning services that are immigrants and English is not their first or even their language. The language barrier can cause problems. You might request a maid who speaks English, but that can be difficult. Do let your preferred maid service know your preferences to ensure that you have peace of mind. Do bear in mind, that those who do not speak English are also capable, very good at their jobs, and highly honest.
There are house keepers who will slash your cleaning bill by working for cash. You might find, however,that under the table payments are illegal and ultimately cost in social security and unemployment taxes. Do be aware that paying under the table might be a great benefit for you and your maid, but you will have no recourse in theft, damage, or a poorly cleaned home.
Get a contract from either a professional cleaning service or an individual. You will find that when you hire a maid service you definitely will sign a contract that will protect you and the maid. A contract ensures honesty.
One very sad story concerns a housekeeper who fell from a ladder while washing light fixtures and broke her back. As an employee of a cleaning service the insurance paid for her surgery and resulting rehabilitation. The homeowner, being a very noble person, did chip in for some of the costs and assured the housekeeper of her continued employment when she was able to work again. Contracts do pay!
Contracts, honesty, and hiring a good maid service will ensure that mistakes are fixed. If you find that your hired maid uses cleaning products that contain acid on your marble counter tops, the resulting damages will be covered. Do make sure that services stand behind their employees. Mistakes of bleach on the carpet, acid on the counter tops or broken furniture can happen to anyone, but if you are hiring a cleaning service, you do expect to be covered.
