Define the work you need
List rooms, surfaces, condition, frequency and priorities. Ask whether oven interiors, windows, laundry, carpet, upholstery or end-of-lease tasks are included, optional or outside scope. A clear task list makes quotes easier to compare.
Check practical service details
Confirm who supplies equipment and products, how access and keys are managed, what happens if a cleaner cannot attend, and how schedule changes are handled. Tell the provider about pets, delicate surfaces, parking and any household product preferences.
Verify claims and terms
If insurance, staff screening, training or a re-clean policy matters to you, ask what currently applies and request the relevant details in writing. Do not assume every company offers the same checks, products, qualifications or remedies.
Compare quotes fairly
Provide the same property size, condition, access and task list to each provider. Review price basis, exclusions, cancellation, extra-work approval and any service limitations. Avoid relying on broad claims such as perfect results, chemical-free cleaning or guaranteed satisfaction.
