As a realtor, you probably don’t have time or an inclination to do all of the cleaning for the properties you work with. It can be much simpler and easier to hire a realtor cleaning service. A hired housecleaner can handle any cleaning task you throw at them, but there are a few things you should know to save some time and money at the same time.
Precleaning Matters
If you want to avoid expensive bills from the housecleaner, doing some precleaning can help in that pursuit. That doesn’t mean cleaning the house from top to bottom, as that would defeat the entire purpose of hiring a realtor cleaning service. However, removing clutter and doing basic cleaning tasks means there is less for the professional to do. Of course, if you prefer to leave it all to the pros, that’s fine too!
Provide Specific Instructions
Unless the property you are having cleaned needs a full cleaning of every room, you’ll want to provide some direction, so they know what you are
looking for. If you need the bathroom cleaned up quite a bit, ask for that. If the baseboards are looking dingy, not that. Without instructions, you could end up disappointed. If the housecleaner knows what you want, you will likely get just that.
Toxic Tasks
Housecleaners are used to cleaning up after others, but that doesn’t mean they are available to do the really dirty work that you don’t want to do. They’ll clean up the dirty mess around the bottom of the toilet seat, but don’t expect them to clean up anything truly disgusting. If you have concerns about whether the cleaning task is covered, make sure to ask.
Allocate Proper Time to Clean
There’s nothing to be ashamed about when hiring a housecleaner, even if the home is more dirty and rundown than you would like to admit. However, if there is a lot of cleaning to do, understand that this will take some time. Be sure to offer honesty so the professional visiting the home knows what to expect and can complete the cleaning in the time provided.
