How to Spot a Legitimate End of Tenancy Cleaning Company?

It is very easy nowadays to create and launch a website advertising all of the above mentioned. Many people just slap the word professional on their sites and claim to be trustworthy and reliable, making it hard for customers to trust anyone in the industry. That is why we are going to gather all the main traits that one should look for when choosing their cleaning company:

• Professional cleaning services should always come with a 100% clean guarantee;
• You should always confirm that the employees of the company you have selected are fully-trained, vetted, and insured;
• Free quotes either over the phone or available on the website;
• Another piece of advice, check out if the company you are interested in is certified and accredited;
• No time-span for a job should be given. A task is done when it is done and no sooner than that;
• Professional cleaning companies should always provide equipment and cleaning products for a job. This should include an option of eco products should the client prefer;
• Reviews are another pointer on a cleaning company’s track record. This way, customers can check out the satisfaction level of service before making any commitments;
• We also advise you look into companies offering overly cheap services, as it may look like a dream come true. But it rarely is as a lot of money needs to be put in to enable professional cleaners to do their jobs properly. For example, machinery, cleaning products, and salaries cost a lot. Generally, if you hire the right technicians, you will be very happy in terms of value for money as it is your security deposit on the line.
