These days, hiring domestic help doesn’t involve any hassle like signing contracts, but instead it actually saves you time and effort which you can use for more important things. You might think ‘what’s the point for just one day?’ However, a cleaner who comes in just for one day will put in the extra effort because he or she will want a make a good impression so the company knows they’ve done a good job and will give them more work, and you may be inclined to go to that company again in the future.
But why would you want a cleaner just for one day? Maybe you’re having a party at your house, and with all the preparation you have to do you simply don’t have time to clean, or you don’t want to clean up the next day. Perhaps you can’t afford someone every day, or you can’t bring yourself to get started with the cleaning if the house is in a state, but you’d be able to maintain the clean standard yourself once someone else had got it started. Whatever the reason, if you are only going to need cleaning once, make sure that you clearly specify what you want done, as you can’t go round and fix it yourself the next day. Write down everything you need doing before you phone the company. More often than not you agree a time for the cleaner to start and finish, and his or her transport will be included in the amount you pay, so you don’t have to worry about having to provide transport yourself.
However, you should carefully read what the company offers, and ask all the questions you have. You should know what you are getting for your money and pay close attention to how the work is done because you might need them next time. If you have found a good service, it’s always wise to keep a good relationship with them, so make sure that any complaints you have are made before the cleaner leaves your house, and they can rectify the problem so that everyone is satisfied. Remember that a cleaner is also a human being and he or she might not do certain things the way you want. Therefore, first and foremost you should kindly point out your way of doing things when the cleaner arrives, and take time to show the person where the cleaning products are even if he or she is experienced.
