Tips for choosing a House Cleaning Company

Did you know that house cleaners Do Not have to be licensed to work in Pennsylvania, nor does the law require them to carry insurance or be bonded, which means a customer will not be reimbursed for any property that is missing or broken after the housecleaner leaves his or her home. Anyone can have a website/business card that he is a cleaner. If a company or individual is not willing to give you a certificate of insurance from an insurance carrier then don't hire them.

·Request to be made certificate holder of a cleaning company, You
will have the certificate coming from the insurance company not the cleaner and you will be notified if coverage has been dropped or changed

· Make sure both parties agree exactly what is expected of the cleaners

·Make sure you know what day of service is yours( there maybe penalties attached )

·You are responsible if you hire private cleaners and they fall on your property and are injured

·You are also responsible for all of their taxes should they apply for unemployment
