More and more families are considering using a cleaning service to keep their homes clean and comfortable. However, is it safe to use a cleaning service? How do you hire the right service for your family?

If you use a bit of caution, hiring a cleaning service is extremely safe. Before you give anyone a key to your home, always insist on meeting him or her in person. However, even if you feel like this person is nice and very trustworthy, you should also be sure that the service is bonded. Many cleaning services also have insurance to cover accidents or re-keying services. This helps you make sure that if the maid accidentally leaves a faucet running or loses your key, you will be covered financially. After all, even the best cleaning service can have an off day and accidents do happen.

Here's some key reasons to hire a company that has passed the IJCSA RCS Certification:

·         IJCSA has been training cleaning professionals online longer than anyone else in the industry.

·         Bloodborne Pathogens Certification - Required

·         Chemical Hazards Certification- Required

·         Customer Service Certification  - Required

·         IJCSA members has access to a large library of training and certification.

Finally, when you use a maid service, be sure that you respect your cleaning person. After all, this is the person who sees your home at its worst each week and helps it regain its sparkle and polish so that you can be proud of the way it looks.
