Ask a House Cleaner

A rate increase is inevitable and house cleaners raise prices for 2018. How much of a rate increase depends on the maid service or house cleaner, inflation and their cleaning schedules?

You have to have a rate increase if you want to grow your cleaning business because your income depends on it. You don't get any more hours in the day. So, your only option is a price increase and flexibility of houses you clean.

We Ask a House Cleaner how to market your cleaning business knowing rates will be going up. Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru shares tips.

#HouseCleaning360 connects house cleaners and maids with homeowners.

Separate vacuums for households with pets vs. no pets? House Cleaners and maids want to know if one vacuum will do or is separate vacuums a must?

We Ask a House Cleaner about seniors and clients allergic to dog hair, cat hair, and pet dander.

Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru says you can carry and empty the vacuum between each house cleaning job. But it's a lot of wear and tear on your body and time spent in maintenance.

If you have a house with canine hair, you may want to use the customer's equipment and not spread germs.

"Can you leave while we clean your house? " Every maid service and house cleaner ask this question. "Can you leave?" We Ask a House Cleaner about boundaries and expectations of hovering clients.

Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru says if you're asking "Can you leave?" There needs to be another conversation about questionable visiting. Even if it's about family, pets, cleaning, insurance, micromanaging or cleaning advice. If you're distracted, they need to leave.

It's now included in house cleaner training because a savvy cleaner won't waste the client's time or money.

Tips for house cleaners and maids are always appreciated. But who gets to keep the tips? Does the company owner get to share in the thanks?

We Ask a House Cleaner about year-end bonuses and tips from clients and what are the expectations for gift giving?

Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru says you've got to clarify during the hiring process. Usually, something extra given to the house cleaner is theirs as a thank you from the client.

Price shopping, "I'm just price shopping." Every maid service has heard it. You go to bid a job and give a free estimate for house cleaning and the customer says: "I'm price shopping, and I'll let you know."

We Ask a House Cleaner what to do when your prospect is shopping around and should you bid by the hour vs. the job.

Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru says people do price shop, and they are on a budget. But she says they call your service because they need a house cleaner. A savvy cleaner tip is to ask questions. "How will you know when your house is professionally cleaned?" And "How will you know when you've found the right maid?" How much are you prepared to spend to maintain a clean house?
