Why Hire a Maid Service, not an Individual Maid
Using Kimberly’s Kleaning Service has many advantages over hiring an individual maid.
Are you tired of coming home to a messy, dirty environment at the end of a busy day? You need a maid to help with tasks like:
- Dusting furniture, walls, knickknacks, etc.
- Sweeping & mopping
- Vacuuming
- Bathroom cleaning & sanitizing
- Kitchen cleaning & sanitizing
- Emptying trash
- Changing linens/making beds
- Loading dishwashers
Now before you hop online and post your Craigslist ad for a maid, consider the many disadvantages of hiring an individual maid rather than using a maid service:
No Guarantee of Quality
When you hire an individual maid—even one that you may have found through a trusted friend rather than a site like Craigslist—you really have no guarantee of quality. Sure, the person says they know how to clean, but do they really understand the different cleaning techniques that must be used on different materials like wood floors, stainless steel appliances, and natural stone tiles or countertops?
When you use the maid service provided by Kimberly’s Kleaning Service, on the other hand, you know each and every maid that visits your property has been personally trained by Kimberly herself according to the high standards of our 20-year-old cleaning company. We won’t cut corners in your home—we’ll clean them!
Liability Issues
If you have an individual self-employed maid working for you, they may not have any insurance. This leaves you vulnerable if they should have an accident and become injured on your property. You could end up responsible for thousands of dollars’ worth of medical bills.
At Kimberly’s Kleaning Service, we are licensed, bonded and insured to make sure that our clients are protected from liability. If our maids have any workman’s comp claims due to accidents on your property, our insurance will handle it.
Possible Communication Problems
Another possible disadvantage of hiring an individual maid is you may have communication problems. Maybe their English is not very fluent, or maybe you simply can’t get them to understand the exact tasks you need done.
At Kimberly’s Kleaning Service, all of our maids speak excellent English. They are always happy to take instruction and listen to any special needs or concerns you may have. And for extra peace of mind, you know that Kimberly is always available to help resolve any questions you or the maid may have about their responsibilities.
No Substitutes
One final major disadvantage of hiring one single maid is that if they get sick or have a scheduling conflict, you’re stuck. You may have to skip a week’s visit or reschedule for a time of day that doesn’t work very well for you.
At Kimberly’s Kleaning Service, we have plenty of skilled maids on staff so if the maids usually assigned to your home need time off, we can easily send different maids and not have to disrupt your schedule.
