"Cathleen was extremely thorough and performed some tasks we did not even anticipate. For example, when we were sorting through a box to decide what to do with each item, we came upon a phone battery. She realized that it was misshapen, which meant it was extremely dangerous. She put it in my Hot Pot because that would seal it and took it to Best Buy, so they could dispose of it safely. She cleaned up after each of the tasks and disposed of trash in the dumpster. Her fees were very reasonable. She let me know that if anything needed further attention, I could contact her."

When you hire a housekeeper or cleaning service, there are some questions you’ll need to ask to ensure you’re hiring the right person for the job. Writing down a list of services you want to be completed is a great place to start. This way, you’ll have all the information you need when you do interview a housekeeper or cleaning service, and they can provide you with accurate information and cost estimates.
Find out upfront if the housekeeper or cleaning company offers the services you need, especially if you have requests that go beyond basic services.
Do they charge a flat fee each week? Do they charge an hourly rate? Some companies charge based on your home’s square footage or the number of bedrooms you have.
Many companies may provide some smaller cleaning supplies, but they may need to use your vacuum cleaner or mop. Others bring their own or none at all. And if you’re particular about the types of chemicals used in your home, you may want to ask what products they use or if they’re willing to use what you provide.
Anytime you have a professional in your home, something could go wrong. They could get hurt, or some of your property may be damaged. Ask what would happen in these scenarios — a well-qualified professional will have the necessary insurance and bonding to cover these situations.
