How to Find a House Cleaner
Tasks and Fees
Cleans up your messes. Charges $20 to $35 an hour.
Where to Find One
National Association of Professional Cleaners, (
www.cleaningassociation.com).
Before You Hire One
Meet candidates in person and take them on a tour of your house to
gauge their enthusiasm and conscientiousness.
Common Pitfalls
Relying solely on a cleaning person who has no flexibility or on a
big, impersonal company that won't send you the same crew twice.
They'll Know You Mean Business When You Say...
“How many hours does it typically take you to clean a home my size?
What type of cleaning supplies do you usually use?” Find out in advance how much a full cleaning will cost, not just
the hourly rate. And make sure you approve the supplies.
