Keep on reading to learn all about cleaning on a professional level and why not all cleaning jobs and companies are created equal!

Why would you want to clean professionally for a living and how should I evaluate the different job options?

Working as a professional cleaning technician is fun and dynamic, and tremendously rewarding! You are up on your feet throughout the day visiting beautiful homes – you are getting paid to work out! Below are questions to ask when you are applying for residential house cleaning jobs, from evaluating the company to knowing what you are getting into. It is best to dig in as deep as you can with the company that you are applying to work with to make sure that it is a good fit for you.

What type of supplies are provided to support you in your job?

Having the right cleaning supplies is crucial to your success in any cleaning position. Some companies use cheaper and more ineffective tools for the job, while others use premium, safe, and effective equipment and cleaning solutions. This is really important to make sure that you are set up correctly to be able to provide the highest quality cleaning to clients. Make sure to ask questions about what supplies are provided, and what the process to get resupplied and restocked is.   

Is this a highly rated company?

Not all cleaning companies are created equal, and this will be reflected in what the customers and community think about the company. Do your research about the company – check their online reviews and website to get a feel for what type of business you are trying to be part of. 

Additionally, don’t be afraid to ask details in your interview about client happiness and the current reputation of the company. 

What does the schedule look like?

Schedule is very important, and what the job is offering should match what you are looking for. Make it clear how much work you are looking for, and what your typical availability is. Ask questions such as how long will it take to reach the hours that I want to work, and what happens if I am not getting the work that I was promised? There should be answers and solutions to these potential issues. 

What should I expect each day when I arrive at work?

This is a very important topic to explore, as it is dealing with what you are signing up for on a day to day basis. Will you be arriving at an office each morning? Will you go straight from your house to the cleaning job? Every company operates a little bit differently, and it is important to have a good understanding of what your day to day duties will look like. 

Another aspect of this is how many homes you will be cleaning per day. Some companies will have large teams going to multiple homes, while others will have solo or small teams going to just one or two per day. While the amount of work may be the same, everyone has a different preference on what they want their day to look like, so make sure to ask questions about this. 

What are the company values?

Company values are very important. At Mulberry Maids we put service as our top goal – we want to provide excellent cleaning and customer service to our clients, and we look for people who are service oriented who love to help people out.

Other companies may not value that level of service and care, and that will likely be reflected in the work environment and lower quality cleanings to their customers. Make sure to dig into this topic deeply so you can be joining a team that you can really jive with for the long term. 

We are caretakers of people’s personal homes, and are giving them an invaluable gift each time we show up to their home to clean. You want to make sure that level of care is prevalent throughout the cleaning company you are looking to work with. 

Will I have autonomy and agency over my work?

Independence, autonomy, and agency are very important to a satisfying career. Not all companies offer this, especially in the world of residential home cleaning. Try to ask as many questions as you can on this topic. Do I have the autonomy to clean a home the way I want? Do I need to follow a strict process no matter the situation or home? Am I able to put the personal touches on a cleaning that I like? Will I be micromanaged on a daily basis?

Make sure that the company you are talking with respects you and your work, and doesn’t just see you as a commodity. 

Is there someone to talk to if I have an issue?

One of the most important things to ask is what happens if you have an issue. This may be an issue with a customer, co-worker, or your schedule. Make sure that there is always someone you can talk to to make sure that your problem is resolved in a timely fashion, and that the issue does not continue to get worse. 

At Mulberry Maids, we are as supportive as possible to make sure that you are happy and fulfilled in your job. Any company that is worth working for will treat you with respect, and listen to your needs and concerns to make sure that you thrive in your position and your life!
