Why hire a professional cleaning company versus an individual housecleaner?

When looking to hire Toronto home cleaners to work their magic and turn your dusty house into a sparkling palace, there are many factors to consider when choosing a home cleaning service. One additional consideration is whether you should hire an individual cleaner or a cleaning company?

There are many differences between an individual cleaner and a cleaning company. Here are a few considerations that could help you choose the right house cleaner for your home.
​

Top 3 considerations when choosing between an individual or home cleaning company

1. Consistency and Scheduling
   Cleaners are only human, so they too will fall sick, have unforeseen emergencies or just ‘bad days’. So what happens when you schedule a cleaning with an individual cleaner and the inevitable strikes? Your sparkling palace will have to take a rain check for another day.  
   
   Cleaning companies, however, consists of teams of trained cleaners. If one cannot make it to an appointment, another person will step up and do the job so no scheduled cleaning will be left hanging. In addition, if you have a tight schedule and require a cleaning to be completed within a shorter time frame than usual, your cleaning company can provide additional staff to complete the job in less time.
   
   
2. Training
   While some individual cleaners might have a wealth of knowledge on different products, there are millions of cleaning agents and equipment out there. With cleaning companies, each hired cleaner is well trained on the products and equipment their company uses. This will prevent damages that might occur with the incorrect use of supplies on various surfaces. In addition to product knowledge training, customer service is also emphasized in order to provide the most professional and pleasant experience to each customer.
   
   
3. Insurance and Safety 
   Accidents happen and can be costly. If a cleaner gets hurt or damage items in your household while working on your property, the cleaning company’s insurance or WSIB (work safety insurance board) coverage will take care of any associated medical or replacement costs. However, individual cleaners will not have insurance coverage and it will be your responsibility to take care of any cost incurred. Furthermore, most cleaning companies undergo criminal checks on each employee which provides you with a higher level of safety and peace of mind.
