Before you hire a house cleaning company, read these 5 tips to save money:
Frequency
House cleaning companies tend to offer different prices for the same services based on how frequent you require their services. Getting your house cleaned twice per month, for example, may be cheaper on the per “visit basis” than once per month. For busy families, saving money on the “per visit” basis can be very convenient.
Customization
Some house cleaning companies can customize their services to suit your needs. You can use this feature to save money. For example, you may be able to reduce the cost of your cleaning services by requesting your house cleaning company not to clean areas in your house you do not use. Alternately, you can also save money by asking your house cleaning company to clean those areas every other time you get house cleaning services.
Referrals
House cleaning companies are always looking for new customers. Some cleaning companies offer a discount to their existing customers when they refer a new customer.
Royalties
Unlike national franchises, independent house cleaning companies do not pay royalties to a franchisor. Therefore, independent house cleaning companies may offer you a cheaper price for cleaning services, while offering you all the benefits offered by national franchises.
Coupons
A lot of house cleaning companies offer coupons to new customers. However, most of these coupons apply on the second and subsequent cleaning services. Other coupons, for example coupons for deep cleaning services, may be used immediately. Also be aware that most house cleaning companies have special offers on holidays.
