It requires a constant effort and cares to keep a house clean and beautiful, however, not everyone has the capability, mood and free time to engage in daily hours of cleaning services. Therefore, to avoid that problem, there are cleaning services companies that offer maids that provides either one-time maids or recurrent maids, which can clean the house on a daily basis, weekly, monthly or in special occasions. Furthermore, the company will most likely provide multiple options for the customer to choose one. There lies the problem.

An average maid service costs a minimum of $116 up to $236, which are usually charged by hours or size of the house, in other words, square footage. The bigger the house, the more expensive the maid will be. Although having a maid is quite practical, the customer should be aware of the costs. Therefore,the house owner should clearly determine the number of rooms to be cleaned to avoid problems concerning the price and the time taken to clean the house, besides that, it can save money. Furthermore, it is advisable to count the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, that way the maid will know what type of products and cleaners to take to the house and the amount of time it will take to clean these rooms.

The type of cleaners will also impact on the final price because eco-friendly cleaners are always more expensive than standard ones, therefore, the owner should clearly estate what kind of cleaners is desired. Another important aspect to be listed prior to the cleaning are the special circumstances, which can be allergies, the presence of pets and antiques. Although some maids do not charge extra for these special circumstances, they should be warned about so they can be extra careful when cleaning the house, that way they can avoid any problems – such as a strongly scented cleaner – that may cause harm to the customer.

A maid service company, or a housecleaning service company, is usuallylicensed, insured and bonded. Although these companies may cost more, thecustomer is well protected by a contract in case any problem occurs. The NextDay Cleaning, for example, is a well-rated company that offers house cleaningservices, carpet cleaning, move in/out cleaning, and upholstery cleaning. Onthe other hand, an independent operator will charge less, but will not offeryou the same protection and background that a registered cleaner can offer.Although a few will sign a contract, most will not and will only offer you referencesto attest to the quality of their work, their honesty and their commitment.

If you desire for a whole house cleaning, keep in mind the size of your house because the bigger the house, the more expensive it will be. With that said, the price may go over $400 for a one-time cleaning. Furthermore, mention any area of difficult access because, although the maid may charge extra, it will avoid problems such as the lack of equipment. Each and every room has the standard price that may change accordingly to the size of the room and the type of cleaning. Lastly, to avoid the extra cost of a meticulous cleaning, it is advisable to opt for a weekly or bi-weekly cleaning, which are effective, healthier and can save up to $10 of what would be the original price of a cleaning.
