How much should I expect to pay for maid service?

How much should I expect to pay for maid service? Let’s start off with the premise that maid service is a simple business. It is not easy, but it is simple. In the final conclusion, maid service owners’ broker screened, insured, trained, and professionally managed maid labor. This article will shed light on this process.

Whether the maid service sends an estimator to your home or if you do an over the phone evaluation of your residence, the maid service is seeking to learn your needs and expectations. Your wishes combined with details about your home, # of people, # of pets, and how hard you live in it are the foundation of your house cleaning estimate.

Consider two neighbors in seemingly identical homes.

  • The first home is the residence of Astronaut Tony Nelson and his fiancée Jeannie. No pets, no children, & minimalist. In addition, Jeannie & Tony clean up after themselves daily. Tony knows he is extremely lucky to have Jeannie so he hires maids to scrub his bathroom down once a week.
  • The second home is the residence of Mike & Carol Brady’s blended family. Greg Brady, Marcia Brady, Peter Brady, Jan Brady, Bobby Brady, and Cindy Brady all share one bathroom!!! They also have a dog and a cat, Tiger and Fluffy. Fluffy hasn’t been seen since the pilot episode, but our maids keep finding hairballs on upholstered couches. Tiger, the dog, has the run of the house and may have worms. The Brady’s have a great deal of knick knacks that require dusting. The Brady’s home just isn’t the same since Alice the maid had a nervous breakdown and moved to Key West.  Now that she is gone it is apparent that Alice was the only one capable of cleaning up after this Brady Bunch.

From the curb, two seemingly identical homes. Maid service is a simple business…even Gomer Pyle would come the conclusion that the Brady Bunch home demands more maid hours to clean. Tony Nelson home might require 3 maid hours on an every other week basis, while the Brady Bunch needs 5.5 maid hours every week.

Naturally, initial services require more time and can be billed hourly.  After that, Weekly and Every Other Week You’ve Got MAIDS Clients enjoy a set price.

Naomi Campbell Throws Phone at Maid

Supermodel Naomi Campbell maid the news when she threw her cell phone at her house cleanerAna Scolavino. The fact that Ms. Campbell selectively throws tantrums with her maids and not her superiors is a character flaw of the highest magnitude. I would rather think of Naomi Campbell as some eccentric supermodel whose thing was to chuck cell phones at anyone that displeased her. If that were the case, Katie Ford, President & CEO of Fords Models, Inc., would need to wear a hockey helmet in the event one of her air brush artists displeased the Naomi.

This is not Naomi Campbell’s first incident of abusing employees.

Ana Scolavino, you should work for someone that treats you with respect and dignity. Let me be the first to offer you a job down at one of our franchise maid service locations. The only thing we will throw at you is Client compliments from You’ve Got MAIDS™ Feedback System. Perhaps with your upcoming settlement you could purchase a You’ve Got MAIDS™ Franchise.

HOW TO CLEAN A COUCH

YouTube Preview Image

What should you expect from your house cleaning service in regards to cleaning your upholstered couch?

    • Any house cleaning company worth its salt should brush off or vacuum your couch each house cleaning.
    • On an initial cleaning, we call it our 52-Point Spring Clean, the house cleaners should remove all the couch cushions and vacuum or brush out the couch.  Recently our house cleaners found a long lost wallet in a new clients couch!
    • A house cleaning company should have commercial vacuums with the proper attachments to vacuum the area under your couch if it is carpeted.  If it is a hard surface vacuum first and then mop under the couch.
    • Pillows should be arranged on the couch in a decorative fashion.
    • When exiting the house, the house cleaners should leave the couch in presentation condition.  It should be clean, organized and inviting.
  • You've Got MAIDS      WWW.YOUVEGOTMAIDS.COM

DIRTY DEEDS CLEANING LADY IN ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO

MAID NEWS

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A local cleaning company did not do a criminal background check on its maids.  Here’s a ABC – Channel 7 -  KOAT video that details how a legitimate cleaning company hired a maid without doing a criminal background check.  In this case a maid background check would have revealed numerous run-ins with the law.

Cleaning companies are not required to run criminal background checks.   Smart consumers should grill their maid service on hiring procedure.  At You’ve Got MAIDS we run background checks.  If you would like to become our franchise partner in Albuquerque, New Mexico that territory is wide open for franchise development.   Help us clean up Albuquerque one house at a time.

GREEN CLEAN

In our ever changing world many people are taking small steps to save our earth. You’ve Got MAIDS® has taken the initiative; we’re proud to be both environmentally friendly and price competitive with companies that are not bio-friendly. It starts off with the phone estimate. Customers prefer this convenient and straightforward method which also conserves fuel and paper. In fact, most of our correspondences are over the phone or via email. We further lower our fuel consumption and carbon footprint by having our maids carpool to your house. Green cleaning your home with microfiber cleaning cloths, HEPA filtered vacuums and non-toxic cleaning products is a step in the green direction.  After all, it is the sum of the smaller acts that gives way to the greatest results. On behalf of the staff of You’ve Got MAIDS® thank you for partnering with us in our vision to protect our planet.

RESIDENTIAL MAID SERVICE

A professional residential maid service is a business which provides house cleaning for homeowners who do not have the time nor desire to clean their own homes. Residential maid services have become increasingly common in America with an industry growth rate of 20% a year.

RESIDENTIAL CLEANING SERVICE

A professional residential cleaning service, like You’ve Got MAIDS®, may be a few more dollars than a part-time independent under the table maid(normally between $0.71 & $1.42 a day), but it offers numerous advantages. We provide screened, trained, bonded and insured maids that bring all of the necessary cleaning supplies. In fact, when you hire us, you can delete cleaning products from your shopping list. Also, as a bona fide employer, You’ve Got MAIDS® is responsible for withholding Social Security income taxes, Medicare Tax, FUTA & SUTA. Most importantly You’ve Got MAIDS® worker compensation insurance insulates you & your family from personal injury attorneys.

RESIDENTIAL HOME CLEANING

You’ve Got MAIDS® strives to deliver more than expected each time. We get it.  A lot of residential home cleaning service providers over promise and under deliver. At You’ve Got MAIDS® we want long term relationships with our customers, and our goal is to under promise and over deliver.

RESIDENTIAL HOME CLEANING SERVICE

If you notice the maids do something that makes you happy, let them know. Better yet let us know by clicking our feedback button.  We care.  Your compliments are words of encouragement… like sunshine to your maids…they will not grow without it! Our CEO reads each and every piece of feedback before forwarding it to the local franchise office.

At You’ve Got MAIDS® we understand that communication is key, and we welcome all feedback…not just the good stuff! We carefully review and share everything with the maids in a construction manner. The good to great feedback gets shared at the morning meeting in front of everyone, and might go on our Wall of Fame! The not so great feedback is reviewed in private, and goes into the employees file.  As a company, we consume feedback for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
