House Cleaning questions, answered by experts

A basic move-out cleaning service typically includes:

  • Dusting

  • Mopping

  • Vacuuming

  • Wiping down surfaces 

However, if your home could use a little more cleaning than the basics, you can optionally add on services, like grout cleaning, carpet shampooing, and window washing.

Whether your carpet cleaner is self-employed or not doesn’t need to play a major factor in tipping. Some larger cleaning companies prefer you don’t tip their employees, but if the cleaner is self-employed that isn’t a concern. Tipping isn’t required for this service, so feel free to use it as an appreciation for their service and hard work.

Before hiring a cleaning service for your home, it's wise to ask several questions. Find out what services they offer, whether they work alone or with a company, and if they can provide references. It's also important to ask if they conduct background checks on employees. Inquire about their scheduling, availability, and when they can provide an estimate. Confirm if they have insurance, offer a guarantee, and bring their own cleaning supplies and equipment. You should also clarify if you need to be home during the cleaning, what arrangements are necessary for pets, and if there is a written contract. Finally, ask how they set their rates and if they are available for emergencies and what those charges would be.

There are a few things you should look for in a house cleaner to make sure that your home is treated with respect and remains secure, and that you get high-quality service. Start by looking for an experienced company that is insured and has references they can provide. Next, prioritize cleaners that offer the specific services you need and can commit to a cleaning schedule that works with your schedule. Finally, ask your cleaner about satisfaction guarantees and their cleaning process to make sure you hire the right company.
