Hiring a house cleaner means peace of mind when it comes to the appearance of your home. You want to arrive to a fresh household without the stress of dusting and vacuuming hanging over your head. But, what exactly can you ask your house cleaner to do? Are there services that they are unable to provide or ones that might cost extra without you knowing?
There are some things that almost every house cleaning service provides. Dusting the furniture, sweeping and vacuuming floors, cleaning windows, cleaning bathrooms, and cleaning the kitchen can all be pretty much expected.
Some tasks vary by cleaners. Some companies offer to change the bedding, take out the trash, iron clothes, and wash dishes (or load the dishwasher).
Some services even go as far as folding laundry, de-cluttering, polishing your silver, and tidying up your messes.
Most will not clean up toys, clean fireplaces, do “deep” cleaning (such as pulling out appliances and cleaning behind those).

When it comes to cleaning, though, there is no harm in asking what services are provided, can be provided if requested, and will not be provided (especially if a cleaner’s website is unclear on what exactly you can expect from their staff).
Have them come to your home for a free estimate and have a genuine discussion about what your expectations and requests are and what the cleaner can provide you. By starting the relationship off with honesty and transparency, you’ll be in for rewarding, professional, and happy interactions with your house cleaner or cleaning staff!
