What to Look for in a House Cleaning Service

Trusted house cleaning services from Maid Brigade offer the invaluable peace of mind you deserve. However, when you are hiring a cleaning service for the first time, it's natural be extra cautious before making a commitment. At Maid Brigade, we want to make your decision easier by providing you with the answers you need and the valuable experience we have to offer.

A Reliable Cleaning Company Matters

Reliability and trustworthiness are the most important factors to look for in a house cleaning service. Your home is a safe space and we know the trust you put in us to take care of your space, belongings, and your valuable time. When you schedule a cleaning with Maid Brigade, we provide you with our expected time of arrival and discuss our plan of entry accordingly depending on if you will be home or not. Being reliable means being on-time, easy to reach if needed, and taking excellent care of your home's cleaning needs at every visit.

An Eco-Friendly and Healthy Home Cleaning Service

Eco-friendly cleaning is becoming increasingly important with time. It’s even more important if you have immunocompromised family members living with you, like elderly parents. So, before hiring a house cleaning service, inquire about their green cleaning methodology, equipment, and cleaning products. Your home health is an essential part of your overall health!

At Maid Brigade, we have always taken great pride in being the experts at eco-friendly, safe, healthy home cleanings. Our PUREcleaning process will leave your home shining without any harmful, toxic products being used.

Cleaning Service Availability and Flexibility

Ask the following questions:

  • How flexible is the scheduling process?
  • How can you book weekly, biweekly, or monthly cleaning services?
  • Are the services customizable to your needs?

We offer many service options based on frequency, specialty, and complexity to fit all of your cleaning needs. Recurring cleanings such as weekly or biweekly service are a frequent request by our customers. We want your cleaning schedule to align with what you need when you need us!

Is My Cleaning Company Insured?

Is the cleaning company adequately insured and bonded to take care of you and the cleaning crew?

Some insurance policies, like professional liability insurance, only ensure the safety of the employees, but does not cover any loss or damage to your property. Maid Brigade is fully bonded and insured so you can feel confident in your decision to have our team come to your home.

A Cleaning Service with an Established Reputation

How long has your cleaning company been in business? New cleaning companies can be good, but there remains the additional risk of inexperienced or clumsy service. When you have the option at hand, always go for an established company with several years of well-backed experience. Maid Brigade has been in business for 35+ years and our years of experience have led us to many happy customers! We have customers who have been with their local Maid Brigade for 15+ years!

Why is Consistent House Cleaning Good for Your Health?

Let’s face it, constantly cleaning, organizing and putting stuff away is not anyone’s idea of a good time.  But keeping your home clean on a consistent basis is important for a number of reasons. You might not realize that cleaning can give you a sense of satisfaction which releases endorphins and makes you feel better. Even if the reasons below don’t spark motivation for you to keep your house clean, maybe remembering that feeling good when you are done can keep you focused.

Removing allergens – Keeping your home dust free will remove allergens from your home. Dust contains dust mite excrement, which is the true cause of dust allergies. Dusting your home on a weekly basis keeps the allergens at a safe and manageable level. You can also use a HEPA air filter to help remove dust from the air, which keeps the dust from settling on the furniture, meaning you can dust less often.

Lowers stress – A clean and organized house can lower stress levels for you and your family. Marie Kondo’s “KonMari Method” of tiding up recommends getting rid of anything that doesn’t give you joy. Things that don’t give you joy are probably adding stress to your life and should be removed. Once removed, you will feel better and will have a little less stress in your life.

Home safety – For the safety of your family and pets, you want to remove the dirt and clutter from your home. Frequent cleaning removes germs. Not to mention too much clutter can cause trips, falls and accidents.  Items stacked too high can fall down and be dangerous. Items left in the middle of the floor can cause a fall which can lead to a debilitating injury.

Germ-free – Cleaning and disinfecting should be a priority for your cleaning regimen. Some people do not realize that you cannot disinfect a surface that has not been cleaned first. Using disinfecting wipes on a dirty surface does not kill germs. Areas must be cleaned first with soap and warm water, rinsed completely, and then disinfected. The disinfectant needs to sit on the surface for 10 minutes or more to kill the germs.

Pest removal – Dirty homes are a haven for nasty pests such as ants, spiders, mice, and even flour moths. Leftover food attracts ants which are very difficult to remove from your home.  They are attracted to spills and drips on floors and cabinets.  By keeping your kitchen spotless you are working to keep ants and rodents away. Cobwebs are really just spider webs with dust on them. You’ll want to dust and vacuum walls and ceilings to get rid of the spiders that are making the webs.  Keep your food products in airtight containers which will keep the flour moths from infiltrating your pantry. Keep your shelves spotless so there is nothing in the pantry to attract them.
