Important questions a cleaning company must ask their customers and why?

You Are An Established Cleaning Company, how you can prove it?

It is vital to understand the job type for each and every industry. However well established companies are established because they understand customer’s individual requirements and deliver outstanding results.

Whereas the cowboy cleaning companies are so desperate for cleaning business that they will just say, “Yes” to everything you ask and deliver a poor job.

This is very common when it comes to end of tenancy and carpet cleaning, after builders clean or range of other cleaning services. This is truly unfortunate, and honestly speaking, 50-% cleaning companies in London and their employees struggle with understanding English-speaking customers requirements, which further let them deliver a good job.

As a cleaning company and especially when it comes to small jobs like one off or regular home and office cleaning, most cleaning agencies communicate through email or phone in order to understand customer’s requirements but lack the experience and style, just getting many extra customers and delivering a poor cleaning job that is not well done will let your company be in the market for the shortest period of time.

Let’s solve this puzzle by giving an example:

Say a customer is moving out from a property and this specific service has many terms including but not limited to:

– End of tenancy clean
– Move out clean
– Post tenancy clean
– Vacate clean
– Moving house clean
– After lease clean

And the long list of variations goes on. Now a cleaning company with a very limited information or newly established firm which have not much done their mathematics might get confused when a customer asks “ they need a vacate clean “ – Now it is important to know or ask different questions in order to get to know the actual requirements, you as a cleaning company may ask several questions and learn from the tinniest knowledge provided e.g.

– Is it a commercial or residential property?

– Can I take the full property postcode, if you ask this question, this will help you provide accurate price information, as some properties may be in a congestion charges area and customer might not have parking and parking may be expensive in that specific postcode.

– How long have you lived in this property?

– How many bedrooms and bathrooms have you got in this property (if this is a residential property, it may be a house, flat, maisonette, apartment, villa or a bungalow, this question will help you a lot. It is also important to ask, if the property is furnished or unfurnished, number of levels, are the cupboards and shelves fully empty? Are there any stains on the carpets, will you require steam carpet cleaning at all?

– Are there any areas, which require special attention e.g. walls, cooker, windows, skirting boards, etc.? It is very important that you make notes of the things that you discuss with customers, so you can come up with an accurate number of hours you will spend in a property (including arranging number of staff members and quoting an actual figure when it comes to price).

– Will you be fully moved out when you require clean?

– What time will you like the clean to be performed, what date and time works the best for you and your household?

– When’s your inventory clerk coming to visit your property in order to check the property’s state?

– What is the name of your estate agent? (if you work with estate agencies, or have previous experience, you might be able to find their quality standards), please note, each and every estate agency or inventory company has their own set of standards set by their own policies, certifications or accreditations they may have

– What’s the deposit you are expecting to be returned?

– Will you be able to provide parking space?

– Will there be hot water and electricity running in the property? It is very important to ask this question, on the end of tenancy or lease, some tenant’s might switch them off or simply forget to pay for electric which may lead to hassle and stress at the later stage.

– Will you require professional steam carpet or upholstery cleaning? If so, may you please provide us information on this one please e.g. about the carpeted areas, any sofa’s, mattresses, curtains you may have or any rugs?

Please note, these are the basic questions you should ask, which will help you deliver a great job, as well as quote an accurate cost, help customers avoid hassle and stress and make their move a real easy move.

In short, getting a customer by quoting a cheap price is one thing, but getting to know their requirements and then giving them an accurate quote is quite another. Unfortunately, many cleaning companies in UK do not have a very good reputation, and there are many reasons why, but one of the main reasons also includes poor skills or abilities when it comes to knowing what a “customer wants”

These basic little information and questions may also help your end of tenancy cleaning customers know that you know what you are doing and that they may count on yourself or your cleaning company for a job well done.

In the future posts, we will discuss a story of a foreign student studying in Imperial college London, which has gone through such a painful time and stress and hassle by going for a few pounds cheaper cost but then getting to know an unethical cleaning agency. They did a poor job, which has led this foreign student in London go through such hassle that she said cannot forget, it was not just £3000 which her estate agency refused to return but also that she had to pay another month rent, she missed a flight, and a long list of inconveniences goes on, which we will discuss in future

There are probably many cleaning companies in UK, but unfortunately there are many bad companies too, it is therefore important to do your mathematics and getting to know these cleaning companies, customers should ask range of questions from a cleaning company including their references within a few miles radius from their property, check their reviews, check their website, asking their company registration number, address, day time phone number and after office hours phone numbers, support or helpline, what cleaning products and materials they use, what equipment they use etc.

Steam carpet cleaning advice

Steam Carpet Cleaning and hints and advice on Carpets and steam Carpet Cleaning

The carpets and rugs in our homes have to be very forgiving. They get trampled on, squashed under heavy furniture and have all kinds of things spilled on them during the course of their lifetime. So, how can we help keep them looking as nice as possible for as long as possible? One great way is to employ the services of a professional steam cleaning company. However, we can also do much ourselves to make sure your carpets remain in top condition for as long as possible.

Do not vacuum a new carpet until at least six weeks after it has been laid. This will allow the pile to settle down. Use a hand brush or carpet sweeper to remove any bits.

Use a liner under a carpet if you are laying it on a wooden floor. This stops any dust from the floor boards rising up and getting inside the carpet fibres. Especially important with white, or lighter coloured carpets.

Vacuum carpets once a week to keep them in top condition – and even more frequently where there is heavy usage. Treat them to a steam clean by a professional carpet steam cleaning company at least once a year.

Mop up stains as soon as you discover them and seek professional advice where necessary. Again, contact a company offering steam cleaning services for help, or to book their expertise.

If a wool carpet has dents in it from where a piece of heavy furniture has stood for a time, place an ice cube in the dent and allow to melt. When it is dry, vacuum thoroughly to restore the flattened pile.

When laying stair carpet, make sure that the pile lies down the stairs to prolong its life. Consider laying it with a spare fold at the top and bottom, so that you can move it up or down a few inches per year. This helps even out the heavy wear on the edges of the treads.

Ask guests to remove their shoes as they enter your home to reduce wear and tear on your carpets. Have a basket of comfortable house slippers available for them to slip on instead.

You can find steam cleaning companies all over the internet. The best way to choose the right one for you is to seek personal recommendations.

Look at cleaning companies’ website for personal testimonials and don’t be afraid to call them and ask to speak to other satisfied customers before you commit to using their services. A great carpet cleaning necessarily do not cost a fortune, know what you are buying, negotiate and win a great deal.
