Having tons of options can be difficult. To get the best service, of course, requires a little research and wisdom. Often times we don’t get what we want and deserve because we never ask for it and/or we don’t know what comes with what we are paying for from our hard earned dollars. So here below are tips that can help in deciding on hiring and maximizing the hired maid service.
- Hire from a company who has been in the business for too long.
Experience is the best teacher. Experience without training beats class training without experience every time. There is a big advantage when a company you hire has been in the industry for long. Their years of experience and weathering every kind of challenge speak in volume. Companies that have years of existence are more reliable, consistent and orderly. Their employees are more skilled and professional. Their experience plays a big part in accomplishing their work in a better, faster, and cleaner way.
- Ask for referrals from friends.
If you are new in the place or if it is your first time to hire a maid service, chances are you wouldn’t know where to get a maid servant or what questions to ask during the interview or what specific maid servant you need. You would want to get someone who is reliable and trustworthy. Friends who are used to having maid servants can be very reliable at this point. Most of the time, their maid servants know many other maid servants. Plus, your friends know just exactly the kind of maid servant that would suit you and your home.
- Get a customized/tailor fit cleaning
This strategy is not only satisfactory after the house gets cleaned, it’s also satisfactory in your pocket. There are some house owners that do not require the maid servant to clean the whole house. Some only want a part of the house to be cleaned. You can specify which part of the house you want cleaned and pay only for that. Getting a customized cleaning gives you a tailored fit finish. It does not only save you time, it also saves you money!
- Stay with the same maid servant
My family and I have experienced having different maid servants and it’s always best to keep the same maid servant who is used to your home and the cleaning style and finish that you want. As the servant gets used to cleaning your house, it makes the work faster and easier and detailed. S/he already knows which part of the house to clean first and which can be multi-tasked. S/he is used to what you want and you won’t have to repeat the same instructions all over again. Trust is established and relationship is built. This makes having someone in your home who is not a family member comfortable for you and your family.
- Establish a healthy relationship with the company/maid
As mentioned, when trust is established, relationship is built. To maintain this relationship is another challenge. Open communication is very vital. The maid servant or the company can tell you whatever concerns they have and you, in turn, can let them know of any concerns you have. This prevents any possible issues that may arise or conflicts even. Positive criticism is an effective way to let the servant, or the company, know about your concern. This gains respect for both parties and makes the working environment healthier. It won’t hurt to give a simple ‘Thank you’ to the servant or the company to boost their morale, make them feel dignified and keep working at their best. You’d end up being a happy, satisfied, worry-free customer.
