Factors in Choosing New Housekeeping Pros, Part 1

Like with any other home service, those searching for new housekeeping services should do some research while canvassing their options. No one simply selects the first company they’re made aware of for these kinds of services; you evaluate areas like cost, services provided, scheduling and several other factors.

At Healthy Homes Housekeeping, we welcome such comparisons of our services with our local competitors – not only do we want all prospective clients to get the very best housekeeping services available, we’re supremely confident we’re the ones who offer them. We provide a huge variety of house cleaning services, from our standard maintenance cleaning to numerous deep cleaning solutions. In this two-part blog series, we’ll go over a few qualities to look for, first in a cleaning and housekeeping company and second in individual staff members who work in your home or building.

Reputation and Credibility

As you’re beginning your search for a new housekeeping company, you should be looking only for reputable, credible companies. For many this begins by performing proper online searches, using tools like Google and others to view reviews, customer testimonials and other information about a company’s experience, reputation and services.

In addition, word-of-mouth often works well here – if a close friend or family member has had great success with a given company over the years, they might recommend it. In either case, be sure to contact a few of your top choices to confirm their credibility in areas like licensure, training and insurance coverage.

Scheduling

One major element to discuss with prospective housekeeping and cleaning companies is their scheduling format and policy. Ask about things like how often a company provides cleaning and the various templates offered, plus whether they allow individual clients to customize a cleaning schedule.

In addition, ask about areas like cancellations and others that might impact your choice. Find out how many housekeepers the company employs and how scheduling conflicts will be managed.

Health and Safety

Particularly during recent times, but also in general, health and safety are also vital considerations as you select a new cleaning service for your home or building. All employees should be well-trained on proper health and sanitation practices, plus should consult with home or building owners about limiting contact during the presence of COVID-19.

Professionalism

This area relates in some ways to a business’s reputation, but also speaks to your own experience while researching. You might narrow your choices down to two options based on the factors that are important to you – but then make your final choice based on which company seems most professional and straightforward.

Benefits & Ease Having of a Deep/Spring Cleaning Once per Year

An annual deep cleaning – what your grandmother likely called spring cleaning – is a domestic ritual practiced for centuries by various cultures throughout the world, including Persia, Greece, Egypt and Scotland.

In the U.S., we celebrate the coming of warmer days by attacking the mess caused by winter weather.

The benefits of an annual deep clean are significant. In fact, having your spring cleaning professionally done will make your life easier and better all year long.

A Deep Cleaning Handles All the Challenging Tasks

The tasks performed during your deep clean will vary based on your home and the type of service you choose. However, you can rest assured that a professional cleaning service will attack many of your home’s most challenging issues.

A Healthy Homes Housekeeping deep clean will tackle washing the sticky walls and woodwork, dusty high ledges and cabinet tops, the greasy range hood and behind and on top of the refrigerator and oven, removing the fuzz behind and around the washer and dryer, vacuuming the dust from under the beds, couches and rugs, polishing the light fixtures and ceiling fans, washing the windows in and out, cleaning the blinds and hand washing the hard floors. These are just a some of the many tasks that our deep clean team will take care of.

If you choose the right spring cleaning expert, you can expect a life-changing level of cleaning.

Spring Cleaning Provides a Reboot for Your Home

Over the course of the year, clutter builds up. Things get put places they don’t belong and, months later, they’re still there. You try to manage the organization of your home but it never seems to be a priority – especially compared to the many obligations you have every day.

When you schedule a spring cleaning, you’ll get that critical reboot you need to get everything back in its place. This is the ideal time to purge too. Whether you do the Kon Mari method – does it bring you joy? – or some other approach that resonates with you, you’ll get rid of clutter and things you simply don’t need taking up space in your home.

The result will improve your mental and emotional outlook and, if you believe the experts, this deep cleaning and purging will actually improve your health.

An Annual Deep Cleaning Keeps Your Family Healthy

As good as it feels to live in a clean, orderly environment, it’s even better when you enjoy good health as a result. And that’s exactly what a deep cleaning from Healthy Homes Housekeeping can provide for you and your family.

In fact, the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology reports that spring cleaning eliminates allergens and prevent new ones from entering your home, facilitating a healthy, active lifestyle.

Pollen, mold, pet dander and dust mites are among the allergens that accumulate over the course of the year – significantly picking up the pace once spring arrives. Dusty surfaces and those with any type of build-up can attract and hold onto allergens. But, with a houseful of clean surfaces, you will avoid the accumulation of allergens. You can make this benefit last even longer by scheduling recurring housekeeping service and by replacing your home’s air filters regularly.

Healthy Homes Housekeeping has been providing clients in northern Utah with professional cleaning services since 1988. Our deep cleaning service involves moving your appliances and furnishings and décor and systematically cleaning every surface – including walls, ceilings, lights, fans, floors, doors, trim, etc. In fact, no surface goes untouched, including storage rooms, utility areas and garages. And, if you so desire, we will arrange to have your ducts, carpet, tile and grout cleaned as well.

Benefits of Using a Recurring Housekeeping Service

Using a recurring housekeeping service offers a variety of benefits that can make your life easier, reduce your stress level and improve your quality of life.

Healthy Homes Housekeeping, with convenient locations in Ogden, Kaysville and Syracuse, provides professional cleaning services to customers throughout northern Utah. If you aren’t currently having your home cleaned regularly by our experienced team, we have a few persuasive reasons for you to consider it.

Using a Recurring Housecleaning Service Gets the Job Done

You really need to clean the bathroom, dust the living room and vacuum the bedrooms this weekend. But things come up, as they do, and maybe the dusting has to wait another week.

When you use a professional cleaning company, you know the job will get done – and get done right – every single time. You’ll never have to worry about running out of time to get everything done.

And, when a surprise visitor shows up at your door, you can rest assured that your home will always be sparkling clean and ready for even your fussiest guests.

Recurring Housekeeping Service & the Time Value of Money

What is your time worth? If you’re like most people today, you’ve got more on your to-do list than you have hours to accomplish those tasks.

Now, think about how much time you would (should?) spend on cleaning your home. Wouldn’t you be better served doing something different with those hours? You could get caught up on work, run errands, work on your side hustle. Or you could spend that time doing something you love, like reading, taking a yoga class, doing crafts or spending time with your family.

When you think about it in those terms, it puts the already-affordable cost of a housecleaning service into perspective.

Regular Cleaning Makes for a Healthier Home

Having recurring professional housecleaning gets rid of the dust mites, mold, bacteria, allergens and other contaminants that can make your family sick.

Professionals understand how to get the job done right. They also use professional-quality cleaning products that cut through the buildup quickly and effectively. Your home will also be less likely to attract pests. You’ll breathe easier and your entire family will experience fewer allergies and respiratory problems.

Professional Housecleaning Makes Your Home a Happier Place

When you come home after a long day of working, grocery shopping, picking up the kids from sports practice and school activities, etc., how much stress does it add when you open the door to a messy, dusty or dirty house?

Now imagine walking into a clean house that smells as good as it looks. You can take a deep breath and enjoy an evening that doesn’t involve stressing about the cleaning tasks you should be doing – they’ll already be all done.

When you trust the Healthy Homes team with your recurring housekeeping service, you’ll always be happy to come home and proud to show off your spotless house. Our affordable pricing and exceptional customer care make our services ideal for all types of customers.
