Why is it very difficult to find a cleaning service company?
How are professional cleaners so fast?
The reason great professional cleaners work so fast is because they have a system that they abide by. They have a set routine that allows them to gain maximum success such as starting at the top and working their way down. They will usually start upstairs, most commonly in the bathroom. They start here because they can leave the toilet and anything that needs it to soak while they complete the rest and come back to rinse at the end. They work from the walls downwards so that the last thing in each room to be cleaned is the flooring, starting upstairs also allows them to bring rubbish and dirt down with them so that the clean flooring upstairs won’t need to be walked on again minimising the need to rewash. Once downstairs they will start in the most problematic room again this being the kitchen. Pre-soaking any appliances such as the oven or kettle to give the dirt time to lift while other areas can be completed. Using the same principle as upstairs ensuring that every surface is clean and then finishing again with the flooring working their way to finish at the exit door taking all rubbish with them.

How much do cleaning companies charge clients?
When professional cleaning companies charge for their cleaning services there are many factors they consider before giving you their best available price, Factors such as which type of clean you require whether it be After builders, Deep End of Tenancy Cleaning, Spring cleaning, Upholstery cleaning, Steam Carpet cleaning or a regular cleaning. All of these services come with a different pricing. If the cleaning company charges by the hour it can range from £13 to £25 per hour. They may have a set charge for the size of the property, this means that the bigger the property the higher the price they will charge. Most great cleaning companies will sort out the pricing before they agree to clean ensuring that there are no hidden charges at the end. In the rare case that there may be extra charges they should contact you to discuss before any further cleaning goes ahead.

What is the best way to find a cleaner?

Why is it so hard to find a cleaner?
The main reason it can be difficult to find a great cleaning company is simply due to shortage in cleaners, not many people want to clean for a living so cleaning companies struggle to find candidates that want to clean. The wage is fair however cleaning is not one of the best paid jobs on the market. Some cleaning jobs require the cleaners to provide their own cleaning equipment too; this makes it expensive to do for a job if the pay back isn’t rewarding enough, not to mention the need for transport to the properties; this can also add to the outgoings for cleaners. From the customers’ side of things, finding a trustworthy cleaning company can be time consuming. Spending time researching which company can provide the right service and at times that fit around daily life can be challenging. Once you find a professional cleaning company in London it’s best to pay fairly and tip where it is deserved and possible, this helps cleaners continue to offer the best cleaning service that they can.
