You are inviting a stranger into your home. That deserves a few questions before you hand over a key or garage code. Here are the ten we recommend asking any cleaning company you are considering.

  1. What is your satisfaction guarantee? A serious company will re-clean any missed spots for free.
  2. How do you train and supervise your cleaners? Clear training and quality checks mean consistent results.
  3. Will I have the same cleaner or team each visit? Consistency matters, especially for recurring service.
  4. What is included in a standard clean? Ask for a written checklist.
  5. What is not included, and what costs extra? Inside oven, inside fridge and windows are common add ons.
  6. Do you bring supplies and equipment? A pro should bring everything.
  7. What products do you use? Are they safe for pets and kids?
  8. How do you handle cancellations or rescheduling?
  9. Can I see recent reviews from local customers? Bonus points for Google reviews with real names.
  10. How long have you been serving this area? Local experience means they understand the area and respond quickly.

At Everhaus we are happy to answer all ten in a single phone call. If a company hesitates on any of these, keep looking.
