More and more people are hiring house cleaning services to clean when they move in or out\u00a0of a home.\u00a0One reason is to obviously save themselves the time and hard work of cleaning surfaces that\u00a0haven\u2019t been cleaned in years.\u00a0Another is that it\u2019s usually a requirement in your rental contract to hire a professional service if\u00a0you want your deposit back.\u00a0Before you bring in those cleaners, here are some insider tips to make your experience a\u00a0positive, mistake-free\u00a0one.<\/p>\n
Timing is Everything<\/strong><\/p>\n \u25cf You\u2019ll want the house to be empty with no boxes or furniture in the way by the time\u00a0the cleaners arrive. If they are in the way the cleaners may not get to clean\u00a0everything or it will just slow them down, costing you money.
\n\u25cf Schedule the cleaners to come in after the movers have already removed everything\u00a0out of the home. If the movers walk all over already-clean floors with their dirty\u00a0shoes, you\u2019re just going to end up paying more to get them cleaned again.
\n\u25cf Book the cleaner a day or two before your inspection. This gives you a little leeway\u00a0just in case there\u2019s an unexpected problem or if something was missed during the\u00a0clean. Many reputable house cleaning services have a service guarantee but that\u00a0does you no good if there\u2019s no time for them to go back and fix the problem.<\/p>\n
