Hiring a cleaning crew

[Megan501]

After hosting 1 year, I've already had to "fire" 2 cleaning companies. They just don't get into the details like they should. Now I'm on the hunt for a different crew. Any suggestions on how to set up expectations from the beginning?

I've done the check list of places to clean and that was never marked off completely. Considering asking cleaners to take photos after they finish with each room.

The last cleaning crew I had literally skipped over 2 bathrooms. I sent the cleaning crew owner pictures and she said I should've ordered a deep clean because guests were here so long. Never acknowledged that hair was in the shower still! How can I avoid this and trust that my house is getting cleaned between guests when I'm not here to monitor?

It sounds like you've had a tough time with cleaning crews not meeting your expectations. Setting clear expectations from the start is key, and here are some tips that might help:

1. Detailed Checklist: You've already tried this, but maybe go a step further and review the checklist in person with the cleaners before they start. Ensure it's clear what your non-negotiables are—like bathrooms being cleaned thoroughly no matter how long guests stayed.

2. Photos After Cleaning: Asking for photos is a great idea! It not only holds the crew accountable but also gives you peace of mind. You could even make it part of the contract to ensure it’s consistently done.

3. Walkthrough with New Crews: Before the first cleaning, do a walkthrough with the crew or owner to point out problem areas and emphasize your expectations, like no room should be skipped under any circumstances.

4. Clear Communication: After each clean, ensure there's a feedback loop where you can report issues right away and expect a prompt fix. If they fail to meet expectations, it should be addressed with the crew immediately.

Finding a reliable team can be challenging, but with clear expectations and accountability measures in place, you should have better luck.

Hello im aiza padilla we applying as a cleaners

[Ashley2100]

I have been serving 2 hosts for 2 years and we have never received a cleaning complaint. I take photos of all my cleaning details and send them when the job is done. If there is a stain or damage that I think can be complained about, I report it. If you do not trust your team, you can request a detailed video after the cleaning is done and if no photo or video is sent, you can refuse to do it without paying.

Hello Megan being a cleaner myself it cam be frustrating because there are those that don't care for details. Then there is me who sees nothing but the details. I think you should maybe do trial cleanings or even if possible interview and that be a  part of the interview. Cleaning a specific part of the house. So you're able to see their skillet.
