3.Ensure that all cleaning employees' including maids, carpet cleaners, window washers and fix-it people are trained, have the right equipment and all the instructions for an assignment.

4.Be involved in the growth to the cleaning industry. Guarantee that you provide activities that enhance the perception of the residential and company cleaning industry. You are a business; run you cleaning service as a business.

5.Meet the needs of customers. Exceed those needs whenever possible. Go the extra mile to keep customers happy and their homes and businesses sanitary and clean.

6.Handle all requests promptly. Confirm that complaints are taken care of immediately. If you must, to keep a client happy, redo you activities at no extra charges.

7.Continually improve your image and the reputation of the cleaning industry. Use good business practices. Make sure you let your customers and clients know if you cleaning and service employees are going to be late, need to change schedules, or if you are bringing a new maid or service personnel into their home. Trust and ethics is the hallmark of your cleaning service.

8.Be upfront and honest in fees and charges. Do not have hidden fees. Every charge, whether added on or not, should be stated in the contract and written out in specific terms.
