Should I Hire A Professional Cleaner?

Frustrated with cleaning?

For a spell, I worked professionally as a motorcycle technician in a local indy shop, and one “rule” I learned there can be applied to nearly any niche across multiple avenues. The rule is very easily recognized, so here is the metaphorical scenario at the shop: Joe Gofast kicks dust from the trailer tires as he drops his dearly beloved with us for some work. “It’s sick,” he says; “simply won’t start.” And, of course, it’s spring, so this “sickness” is also the end of the world. We tell Mr. Gofast to slow it down and breathe; just hang out front and we’ll do a quick diagnosis on it. We pull it up the ramp, strap it to a lift, send it to the moon, and begin our diagnostic inspection: Ah, yes; here it is - and this is most certainly the problem - exposed under the seat is a terrifying and garbled rat’s nest of electrical tape, residential electrical twist connectors and something that maybe one time resembled electrical wire.

Lord help us!

We go to the dreaded-by-some "waiting room" where Joe anxiously paces - “Hey buddy, come on back here…” I hand him the truth with a pin light trained on the gnarled mess. “Oh man! I had my buddy Chris do that in his shop - well, his lean-to - out behind his house, anyway. I helped him, so, it's got to be right.” “Well, we can fix it; but due to the mess, it's going to take several hours of labor.” You probably understand where I am coming from now, and just what the “rule” is (not to mention, you read it in the title).

Do you think Mr Gofast asked again, "Should I Hire a professional?"; We don't think he'll ever ask that again! Now, think of this: surely we have all had that one great-uncle who, upon learning we have a particularly bad tooth, suddenly becomes the family dentist and offers to grab his professional tools (a pair of pliers and maybe a drill, too?) “Here, just drink some of this and open wide…” You wouldn’t have your uncle pulling your teeth would you? See what I mean? Just because someone believes that they can do something, does not always mean that they should be doing it or are doing it the best way.

Nope.

Again, this concept is many-fingered; one finger in particular pointing in the direction of the residential house cleaning industry (as the title suggests to us once more). Home cleaning is one of the most important and crucial responsibilities of life. Many of us probably manage our homes just fine; however, there are a handful of reasons why you should, at the very least periodically, have a professional house cleaning service get in the grooves for you. Sure, most folks are able to put a decent cleaning on their homes, but quite often there is a marked difference between a homeowner cleaning and a professional company cleaning. The homeowner can be distracted by any given number of things in their own living space. They may lack the tools of the trade or the knowledge needed to do it well. Their bodies might not be in the optimal shape required to make the place gleam clean.

Cleaning well is a process, and a professional cleaner should be A1 trained by a very specific and comprehensive standard of procedure as well as work ethic and code of conduct. Often, a homeowner may be using products that are not only ineffective but could even be doing damage to surfaces in the home. A professional house cleaner is completely trained up in product ingredients and how to use them. With procedures and products in place, the professional cleaner is ready and is the best choice for a clean that transcends what most homeowners have the time and will to do. That's why here at The Gleam Team Cleaning Company, we put so much time and effort into perfecting our Gleam Team Standards of Procedure as well as keeping a constant continuing education flowing concerning products and proper application. Another principle is at play here as well: You get what you pay for. Be cautious how you go about hiring a “professional”. Look for all the signs that point to either good or bad and do the weighing yourself. Here are a handful of ways to determine a businesses pro-level: •The layout of their business (Does it look and feel professional? Is it structured, or does it have a lazefair-ness about it?) •Their media arrangement •Their word choice in their web content, advertising, etc •Their ratings/previous work history •The proofs (pictures, videos, quality evidence of their work) •Do they give back to their community? Are they environmentally friendly?

Cleaning your own home is a right and privilege just as repairing your own motorcycle would be. The big question must be asked though, Can you do it best? Do you trust your procedures, your products, your tools, and your body to do it properly, safely, and effectively? Just as you MUST trust the two-wheeled machine to be sound as it carries you up the road, you MUST trust the healthy clean of the home where you breathe, rest, and grow. A professional with procedural standards training and proper tools simply ensures your space is rightly, thoroughly, and deeply cleaned; they have a work ethic braided with integrity and intention. And this is what gives you more time and energy - maybe even enough extra to head on over to your friend’s lean-to, or even better, up the open road.
