A typical 2-bedroom home of 80 to 100 m² takes about 2 to 3 hours with 2 cleaners. Kitchens and bathrooms consume the most time, roughly 45 minutes each in a standard clean. Living areas and bedrooms run 20 to 30 minutes each. Stairs, baseboards, and window sills add 15 to 25 minutes depending on layout and finish.
Ask whether the company carries general liability insurance and workers compensation. Confirm background checks are performed on every crew member. Request a written scope listing each room and task. Find out who supplies cleaning products and whether green options exist. Finally, ask about a satisfaction guarantee and the reschedule policy.
Most regular house cleaning visits are handled by 1 to 3 cleaners. A solo cleaner usually handles apartments under 90 m² with 1 to 2 bedrooms. Larger homes of 150 to 250 m² typically need a 2-person team, while houses above 250 m² often require 3. Ask in advance whether the same crew comes each visit or if the company rotates staff.
Ask whether the company performs an on-site quality check and how soon after the visit. Many offer a 24-hour window to report issues. If something is missed, the crew should return within 1 to 3 business days to fix it at no charge. Photograph any problem the same day and send it through the company app or email.
Broken items, scratched floors, and missed spots top the complaint list. Photograph valuable or fragile pieces before the first visit. Clear clutter from counters and floors to reduce time pressure. Walk through the home with the lead cleaner at the end of each visit and note any issue within 24 hours so it can be fixed.
Any cleaning company working inside your home should carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation. Bonding protects you against theft. Ask for proof of insurance before the first visit. Many reputable companies also run criminal background checks on employees. Request the policy expiration dates so you know the coverage is current and not lapsed.
Most cleaning companies do not work on major holidays, and some add surcharges of 10 to 20 percent around long weekends. Book holiday slots 3 to 4 weeks in advance because demand is high. Ask for the company's holiday list in writing so you can plan visits around closures and avoid last-minute cancellation fees.
If anyone in the home has asthma, eczema, or chemical sensitivity, request fragrance-free and dye-free products. Common safe options include vinegar-based degreasers, hydrogen peroxide disinfectants, and plant-derived surfactants. Avoid bleach in homes with children or pets. Ask the cleaner for the safety data sheet of any product used inside.
If cleaners will enter while you are away, decide how they get in. Options include a lockbox, a hidden key, a smart lock code, or a doorman. Alarm codes must be provided in writing and changed if the service ends. Ask whether the company tracks who holds each key and whether locks are rekeyed after staff turnover.
Tipping is not required but common, usually $10 to $25 per cleaner per visit. Ask whether tips are cash only or can be added to a card payment. Invoices should itemize labor, supplies, and any add-ons. Confirm accepted payment methods in advance. Many companies charge a 3 percent processing fee for credit card payments under $100.
