Ask about their rates and compare them to others.
Ask about their availability and flexibility.
Look at their reviews on HomeGuide and Google.

Consider doing a background check for individual cleaners that come weekly or monthly.
Ask if their cleaning products are child and pet safe.

Should I hire a professional cleaning service or an individual cleaner?
A private cleaner charges 20% to 50% less than a professional cleaning service, has more scheduling flexibility, and may negotiate rates. However, individual home cleaners are not usually licensed or insured. A house cleaning company has set prices, may require a contract, and may send a different cleaner to your home each time.
For any local house cleaner service, be sure to read reviews from verified customers before hiring.
How much to tip a house cleaner?
Tipping $10 to $20 per cleaning or 10% to 15% of the total cost is greatly appreciated if the cleaner did a great job. However, cleaners are not expecting gratuity.
