If you have not previously had anyone in your home to do your domestic cleaning, the prospect can be really quite daunting. How do you go about choosing the right one for you, and for other family members? Do you hold interviews? Go for the biggest cleaning company you can find, with a national or international business, or a locally run small business? Well, all of these strategies can have their advantages. See below for some thinking points, which should help you decide the best way forward for you.

Individual cleaners have several advantages, perhaps the biggest being that you can get to know your cleaner personally, and they and you develop a trusting relationship. One of the difficulties in employing an individual directly, however, is that it can be problematic and awkward to ask for references, and by the time you have, you have already invited the person involved into your home for an interview. If you go down this route, the best way to find a cleaner is to ask friends and neighbors for recommendations. Then you can conduct an interview to see how you get on personally (especially important if you are going ...
... to be in the home when the cleaning is being done). The main disadvantage is that if your cleaner is sick, or for another reason unavailable, there may not be an easily available alternative. But most of us can manage doing our own cleaning for a week or two, can’t we?

A small to medium sized cleaning company offers a number of alternatives should a regular cleaner be unavailable, however, you will then go through the stages of getting to know a new cleaner, who you might only see once or twice, rather than having the comfort of knowing your domestic cleaning help personally. Using a company also gives you peace of mind in terms of equipment and cleaning materials; with an individual cleaner you may be expected to provide these, but with a company the cleaner generally comes with everything he or she needs. And, if for any reason you find that your regular cleaner does not quite fit the bill, you can ask for someone else from the same company.

Large companies (nationals and even multi-nationals) have pretty much the same positive facets as the smaller business, but you may never be dealing with the same person on the phone when a problem occurs. On the other hand, you should always be able to get hold of someone on the phone when troubleshooting is needed. And if anything disastrous happens, the chances of getting compensation are probably better the larger the company.

So if you are after a home cleaner, think about the above options carefully, weigh up exactly what you want, and when, and how, and take time to make sure you are absolutely happy with the domestic help you are taking on before you make the final decision. And don’t forget, you may have to try more than one before you get the result you are after. Equally, the one you want may not be happy to work the hours or the chores that you want. Never forget they have a choice too!
