Nothing is more uplifting than the scent and sight of a sparkling clean home. We are not talking about the plastic perfection of those homes from glossy magazines. We are talking of a lived-in abode where everything is spick and span, well organized and comfortable.

Is this possible in today’s world, especially in a bustling super-city like Dubai where everyone is busy, and there’s just too much to do?

Thankfully, YES! Buzz in the professional cleaners.

Here are a few points to ponder when you are thinking of hiring a professional cleaning service to help keep your castle clean:

Be clear about what you want
Ask yourself some questions:

Do you want the whole house cleaned or are there areas that are off-limits? This is an individual choice.

How often do you want the cleaning services to do their job? Once a week? Every other week? This depends on whether you have young children or pets which might mean that cleaning should be more frequent.

Would you like them to show up when you are there? If you are working but would ...
... still like to supervise, you will have to arrange for the cleaning service to work on your holiday or at a time when you will be home. You could begin services this way and then leave the mopping up to the services once you are comfortable with it all.
Do you prefer not to cross paths? Are you comfortable with strangers, however guaranteed, in your home in your absence? If yes, make your needs clear and perhaps hold a trial run to make things clearer. Alternatively, if your house is big enough, you can stay home and still keep away from it all.

Once you are clear about your answers, here are some more pointers to help you out:

Regular, Deep and other avatars
Most cleaning service companies have a general routine which covers cleaning kitchens and bathrooms, dusting all surfaces, vacuuming the whole house including upholstered furniture, and mopping uncarpeted areas. This is what is called ‘regular cleaning’.

A ‘deep house cleaning’ is something that involves more detail like cleaning fans and light fixtures, grills and meshes, fixed blinds, etc.

Many cleaning services companies will also take up specific projects like cleaning out refrigerators, ovens, pantries (storerooms), spot cleaning of carpets, rugs and upholstery, wiping inside cupboards, cabinets and their contents, etc.

You can do all or a combination. Of course, cost is a factor.

What do you look out for?

The first is always reliability. The service provider must guarantee the integrity of their staff and step in to solve any problems. They should have conducted a thorough background check.
Are the workers legal? Do they have the required work permits? This is the domain of the service provider, but it should not cause you any trouble, so it is best to ensure the status of the worker.

In the case of breakages and damages, who will make good?

Make sure that there is no liability on your part if a cleaner has a small accident or mishap in the course of work. Typically, the professional cleaning service should take insurance cover.

Will the same team or person be doing the job every time? If you are satisfied with the work, this is very comfortable because the person or team is already attuned to your requirements.

Insist on the brand of cleaners and other articles suitable for you if the material is being supplied by the services. Make sure that they are safe.
What will it cost?

Obviously, this is a valid consideration. Ask two or three services before you decide. Don’t forget: cheaper does not necessarily mean better. The work to be done, the frequency and the relative costs better be set out on paper to avoid conflict at a later date.

How do you find a professional house cleaning service?

You can look through the internet. A city like Dubai, with its huge ex-pat population, is flooded with service providers. But this is like looking for a needle in a haystack. You can read reviews but cannot be sure how reliable these are.
Ask friends, relatives, and colleagues. They will have some idea if they are already service users.
