NW Indiana House Cleaning Service That Kills Mattress Dust Mites!

House dust mites are microscopic bugs that  live on dead skin cells regularly shed from humans and their animal pets. Dust mites are harmless to most people. They don’t carry diseases, but they can cause allergic reactions in asthmatics and others who are allergic to their feces.House dust mites are microscopic bugs that live on dead skin cells shed from humans and their animal pets.  Dust mites can cause allergic reactions in asthmatics and others who are allergic to dust mite feces.

Humans shed 10 grams of dead skin per week.  Cats and dogs shed even more  dander.  Dust mites love to eat human dead skin and pet dander! A typical mattress can contain tens of thousands of dust mites. Did you know a single dust mite produces about 20 waste droppings each day, each containing a protein to which many people are allergic? That’s disgusting!

What Does Licensed, Insured & Bonded Mean?

Choosing a qualified Maid Service is critical to maintaining the safety, security & health of your family & home. Enlightened consumers recognize that Safety & Security need to be the first criteria for hiring a residential cleaning company. Cleaning toilets & showers are important, but they should be further down your pre-qualifying checklist than whether or not your maid service is running criminal background checks on the people who will have access to your home.

Licensed A real company will have met the local governmental requirements to operate a business.  This impacts Clients indirectly, as it is more of a tax than anything else.  Being licensed validates the company, indicating that the maid service is legally operating in their municipality.  If the maid service you are considering is not licensed (this cost $100-$170 a year)…it most doesn’t hasn’t invested in  Third Party Bonding or Workers Compensation Insurance either (roughly $15,000 to $30,000 a year).

Bonded There are two kinds of bonding.  Bonding is a general liability insurance that also covers dishonest acts.  First Party Bonding protects a company from its own employees, and has no value to you, the maid service Customer. Third Party Bonding is the important insurance, as it protects you, the maid service Customer, from the negligence or dishonesty of the maid services employees.

Workers Compensation is the next pre-qualifier that need to be looked into before hiring a professional maid service. Click here to read up on Workers Compensaition Insurance.

House Cleaning Choices

You have four choices concerning house cleaning:

First house cleaning choice is to ignore it.  Put off house cleaning, procrastinate, don’t worry about cleaning your home, after all only Robinson Crusoe had everything done by Friday.  Embrace the filth!  After about six month it doesn’t get much worse.

Second house cleaning choice is do it yourself.  The average homes 52-Point Spring Clean takes 5-8 hours.  Now if you live with the furry cast of Dog Whisperer you will want to budget more time & cleaning supplies.  After you get it sparkling clean, then you need to maintain it…set aside 3-5 hours each week to clean your home…for the rest of your life.

Third house cleaning choice is to hire an independent house cleaner like Alice from the Brady Bunch.  The problem is Alice is pure fiction…she does not exist.  In this real world you need to worry about hiring non-documented workers, paying taxes to the IRS for even part time maids, assuming the risk of your housekeeper getting hurt in your home, assuming the risk of your maid robbing you, and lastly managing your employee.

Fourth house cleaning choice is to hire a professional maid service.  For $10 to $20 more a week you get many benefits. Professional maid services should do criminal background checks, train their maids, manage their maids, pay all the taxes, pay for workers compensation insurance & liability insurance.  They should be trustworthy & dependable.

Those are your four house cleaning choices.  Which one is right for you?

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.
