Daily cleaner or cleaning company?
Both will clean your home; the difference shows when something goes wrong and in who is responsible. Five things to check before you decide:
1. Insurance and liability
If something in the home is damaged or a worker has an accident, it matters who is responsible. With registered employment, the worker's insurance and responsibility for the job sit with the employer; with informal work these risks often stay with the homeowner. When choosing a company, always ask about insurance and liability.
2. Invoice and records
Companies issue an invoice for the service — often a must for workplaces and rented-out homes. A daily cleaner usually doesn't.
3. Cover staff
When a daily cleaner is ill or can't come, the cleaning stops. A company can send another team member on the planned day.
4. Supplies and equipment
Daily cleaners mostly use what's in the home. Professional teams bring their own supplies and equipment — a clear difference for deep, window and upholstery cleaning.
5. Scope and quality check
With a company, what will be done is agreed in writing up front and checked at the end. With a daily cleaner the scope is usually verbal.
Which suits whom?
If you have someone you've trusted for years, a daily cleaner can be practical. If insurance, invoices, cover staff and a written scope matter to you, a cleaning company is the safer choice.
