At Vibrant Cleaning Services, we know inviting a cleaning team into your home is a big decision. You want to know what to expect, what’s included, and how to make the most of your cleaning service. We believe in making the process simple, transparent, and comfortable from the very beginning.
Whether you’re considering your first deep cleaning or looking for recurring house cleaning, we’ve answered some of the most common questions we hear from homeowners.
1. What Is Included in a Professional House Cleaning?
This is one of the most common questions we receive, and it’s a great one to ask! Every cleaning company operates a little differently, so it’s important to understand exactly what you’re paying for.
At Vibrant Cleaning Services, we offer two primary types of cleaning: deep cleaning and recurring maintenance cleaning.
Deep cleaning focuses on washing and cleaning more detailed areas of your home. Depending on your cleaning plan, this can include light fixtures, ceiling fans, doors, door frames, and baseboards.
Recurring maintenance cleaning, whether weekly, biweekly, or monthly, focuses on keeping your home consistently clean. Instead of washing those detailed areas every visit, we typically dust and maintain them as part of your regular cleaning routine.
During your in-home estimate, we provide a cleaning checklist that outlines the items included in your service. This way, you know what our team will clean regularly and what to expect each time we visit.
Our tip: Always ask a cleaning company what is included in its service before booking. Knowing what you’re getting helps you make an informed decision and ensures your expectations align with the service.
2. How Long Will My House Cleaning Take?
Every home is different, which is why we provide an estimated time range rather than an exact minute-by-minute schedule.
For example, your cleaning might take approximately two hours and 45 minutes to three hours. We allow our team a 15-minute window on either side of the estimated time because some homes and cleaning tasks naturally require a little more or less time.
During your estimate, we assess your home and discuss your cleaning needs so we can provide a realistic time frame. Our goal is to give you a reliable expectation while allowing our cleaners enough time to do their job thoroughly.
3. Do I Need to Be Home During My Cleaning?
No! You do not need to be home while we clean.
At Vibrant Cleaning Services, our staff are trained to enter and secure your home according to your preferences and instructions. Our team members are background-checked, bonded, and drug-tested, so you can feel more comfortable welcoming us into your personal space.
Some clients prefer to be home during the first few cleanings, while others leave for work, run errands, or go about their day while we take care of their homes.
We work with your preferences to make the experience as convenient and comfortable as possible.
Once we have your entry instructions and know how you would like your home secured when we leave, you can enjoy the convenience of having your home professionally cleaned without needing to be there.
4. Will I Have the Same Cleaner Every Time?
One of the biggest benefits of choosing Vibrant Cleaning Services is that we send the same cleaner to your home for each recurring visit whenever possible.
We believe consistency makes a real difference in your cleaning experience.
Imagine knowing that your cleaner, Susie, will arrive every other Tuesday around noon, spend approximately three hours cleaning your home, and follow the routine you’ve already established together.
You don’t have to explain your preferences from scratch every time or repeatedly go over the same instructions. Your cleaner becomes familiar with your home, your priorities, and the little details that matter to you.
This consistency also helps build trust and makes it easier to maintain a comfortable working relationship with the person caring for your home.
Our goal is to give you a dependable cleaning routine you can count on, without adding more tasks to your already busy schedule.
5. Do I Need to Provide Cleaning Supplies and Equipment?
Not at all! We bring the professional cleaning equipment and supplies needed for your service.
From vacuum cleaners and clean microfiber cloths to products designed for different surfaces and cleaning challenges, our team arrives prepared to get the job done. We also train our staff to use cleaning products safely and effectively on the appropriate surfaces throughout your home.
In fact, we generally prefer to use our own professional products rather than client-provided supplies. This allows us to work with products we understand and have been trained to use, helping us maintain consistent cleaning practices.
During your in-home estimate, we can identify any specialty products that may be needed for your home, including products for specific hard-water stains or rust associated with well water.
You don’t have to worry about stocking your cabinets with cleaning products or purchasing equipment before we arrive. We take care of bringing what we need!
6. Do I Need to Clean Before the Cleaning Team Arrives?
We hear this question all the time! The answer is a little bit of yes and no.
You do not need to clean your home before a professional cleaning service arrives. After all, that’s what we’re there for!
However, a little tidying before your appointment can help us spend more time actually cleaning and less time working around belongings.
Here are a few things we recommend doing before we arrive:
- Pick up laundry, clothing, and other items from the floors.
- Remove used towels from bathroom floors and surfaces.
- Put away personal items under bathroom sinks that you prefer us not to handle.
- Straighten paperwork and belongings on desks, countertops, dressers, and other surfaces.
- Put away any items that could accidentally get wet or come into contact with cleaning products.
These small steps help us access the surfaces that need attention and focus on giving your home a more thorough clean.
Think of it this way: the less time we spend moving clutter, the more time we can spend cleaning!
7. What About Pets? Are They Welcome During Cleaning?
7. What About Pets? Are They Welcome During Cleaning?Absolutely! We love pets, and they’re a big part of many of the homes we clean. In fact, approximately 85% of our clients have pets!
We understand that having a cleaning team enter your home can be a new experience for your furry family members. That’s why we take time to learn about your pets and their needs.
During your estimate, we may ask questions such as whether your dog is nervous around new people or gets startled when the vacuum cleaner turns on. This helps us prepare and make the experience as comfortable as possible.
If you share your pet’s name with us, we can make introductions a little more personal. There’s something special about walking into a home and saying, “Hi, Burt! Hi, Ernie!” instead of simply walking past your four-legged family members.
Of course, every pet has a different personality. Some are excited to greet us, some prefer to observe from a distance, and others may need a little extra space while we work. We take those needs into consideration and follow your guidance.
And yes, we love those playful moments when a curious pup wants to investigate our equipment or tries to steal a cobweb before we can finish cleaning it! One of the best parts of having the same cleaner return to your home is that your pets can become familiar with us over time. We get to know their personalities, and they get to recognize a familiar face.
Your pets are part of your family, and we want them to feel as comfortable as possible while we care for your home.
