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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Most companies require 24 to 48 hours notice to avoid a cancellation fee equal to half the visit cost. Lockouts caused by no-show homeowners usually carry a flat trip charge. Rescheduling is often free with enough notice. Read the policy section in the contract carefully before signing to avoid surprise charges later.
Most companies charge either by the hour or by square footage. Hourly rates in many markets fall between 25 and 60 dollars per cleaner. Square-foot pricing ranges from 8 to 25 cents per square foot. The number of bathrooms, pets, and overall clutter level also affect the final number printed on the quote.
Standard crews bring vacuums with HEPA filters, microfiber cloths, and a mop system. For deeper work they may carry a wet-dry vacuum, a steam mop for grout, or a pole duster for ceilings. Ask whether the vacuum has sealed bags or HEPA filtration, especially if anyone in the home has asthma or dust allergies.
Deep cleaning reaches places skipped during routine visits: baseboards, window tracks, ceiling fans, vent covers, and behind large appliances. Plan a deep clean every 3 to 6 months. Add-ons often include interior oven, refrigerator, and cabinet cleaning. These tasks add 1 to 2 hours and cost roughly 20 to 40 percent more than a regular visit.
One-time visits cost more per session because setup time is higher. Recurring plans, usually weekly, biweekly, or monthly, lower the per-visit price and keep dirt from accumulating. Biweekly is the most common frequency for working households. Monthly service works for low-traffic homes but allows dust and soap scum to build up between visits.
