Clean Residential Services, Inc. vs. Independent Individual Cleaners 

You have finally decided that you need help keeping up with the cleaning. Who are you going to trust with your home and family? Do you hire Clean Residential Services, Inc. or an individual cleaner? 

We at Clean Residential Services, Inc. have gathered facts and information to assist you in making this critical decision. 

Availability 

When you hire an individual cleaner, you are at the mercy of their schedule.
What happens when your house cleaner has personal
appointments, becomes ill on your cleaning day, or has children that
need attention or an upset in their school schedule? We work hard to avoid these issues. We have work schedules and backup plans in case of employee absences.  We would never knowingly send an ill employee to your home; an individual cleaner can decide if they “feel okay enough” to clean despite being sick. 

Training 

Individual house cleaners apply the cleaning concepts and standards they use to clean their homes. After all, cleaning is cleaning no matter where you do it, right? It isn’t that simple; professionally cleaning houses is a different story. 

We have developed training protocols with many hands-on experiences. This
is complemented continually with ongoing education, which is a crucial
differentiator of our company. Proper cleaning techniques, time efficiency, and appropriate use of tools and supplies ensure your house is cleaned and maintained to the highest standards. We employ staff supervisors responsible for the ongoing training and quality assurance that makes our service superior. 

Insurance 

Professional house cleaning not only means getting things clean but also providing security for homeowners and employees.
What would happen if your property is damaged or a house cleaner is injured? These situations would require your individual homeowner’s insurance to pay (and your rates to increase). 

We carry insurance to deal with those rare but possible situations. You can hire us without that worry!
Will your cleaner provide this security? It is rarely cost-effective for individual cleaners to carry insurance policies. 

Background checks and drug screens 

We background check our employees and implement a random drug screening policy. Your family is worth knowing who is coming into your home. Cleaning
companies control who is allowed into your home. We interview hundreds of applicants only to hand-select a very few. We are exceptionally proud of our track record of trustworthiness! 

Guarantee 

Clean Residential Services, Inc. is responsibly committed to
delivering quality work. In the rare case of a mistake, we are prepared to
consistently guarantee our services and remediate an area a customer
may not be satisfied with. Individual cleaners may not have the time or
resources to deliver this warranty. The 100% satisfaction guarantee is
important when choosing between us and an individual cleaner. We offer what we promise...period. 

Who is the individual cleaner’s employer? 

This is an essential legal aspect that few people consider...
Hiring Clean Residential Services, Inc. will guarantee that you will ONLY be
responsible for paying us for our services and that we will
take care of the legality of our employees. Now, if you decide to hire
an individual, here is an overview of the requirements:
Let’s pretend you pay this individual $2100 or more over the course of
the year. You are obligated, by law, to withhold and pay federal income, Social Security, and unemployment taxes. You may look at IRS publication 926, which clearly outlines your responsibilities as an employer; if you read that correctly, you are the employer. You have no IRS worries by hiring us to care for your home. 

Supplies 

Who provides the supplies? Most individual cleaners require the
homeowner to provide supplies, often listing products they
prefer/want you to buy. Clean Residential Services, Inc. offers premium products that efficiently and safely get your home clean, and when we leave,
all that mess goes with us and is not left drying in your laundry
room. Furthermore, we utilize EPA/CDC-approved products to kill SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and rhinovirus. This added step brings peace of mind to our clients. 

Price 

Last but certainly not least, price. Understandably, price is a
determining factor in making this decision. However, it can’t be the
only factor. In terms of price, individual cleaners usually are less costly.
There is a tremendous difference in price and value; in the long run, cheaper is not always better. Considering the protection Clean Residential Services, Inc. offers your family, the freedom from IRS taxes and forms, and the provision of premium cleaning products and equipment; this is a wise and economic decision. 

We understand that you have the choice of who to choose for cleaning your home. We want you to know that we always respect the invitation into our clients’ homes to provide service and will strive to make sure you feel you are making the BEST choice by allowing Clean Residential Services, Inc. to provide your service.
