Hiring a cleaning company for hard floor cleaning is something that most home and business owners do, because hard floor cleaning is something that only experts are able to do. You may be asking why and thinking you can do it all by yourself, however you most likely will not have the experience, expertise or knowledge to be able to do it and do it correctly. The only solution is to hire the professionals to take over, allowing your hard floors to gleam and shine the way they are supposed to. So how do you actually go about hiring a cleaning contractor company that is able to do this for you and what are you even supposed to expect from them? Below, we have compiled a guide that will be able to help you when it comes to finding out the best way forward for your hard floors:• First of all, establish what exactly your hard floor actually is. Is it granite, marble or wood? Knowing this will probably help your cleaning company establish what needs doing or what they even need to charge. It is always tough for a company to deduce what to actually do if you do not give them the correct information.• Find out what their rates are. For every different flooring, their rates are varying and different. Hard floors are very stylish and hence probably will cost you a lot more to have them cleaned as opposed to things like carpet cleaning. A lot of times your floors will discolour as well as have minor scratches and this is something that the company will be able to do restore back to its original state for you. Inquire about how they charge when it comes to rates. Do they ask for a deposit to secure your place, or do they ask you to pay all upfront before their team comes out? Also, do they only accept card payments or do they prefer cash? It is best to find out all these things before you choose a company to hire. • Make sure that all their staff is qualified, vetted and experienced. Hard floors are quite challenging to clean, (hence you struggle to do them yourself!). If you are not sure about the staff, please make it a point to ask for verification when it comes down to letting someone into your house. Anyone can say that someone is qualified and vetted; however it isn’t out of line to ask someone to prove it. Any good cleaning company worth their salt would be happy to do this for you!• When you call the cleaning agency, and receive a quote it is always wise to ask how long the quote will be valid for, (usually it is for around 30 days) as well as if VAT is included or not. A lot of VAT registered companies add VAT separately on top meaning that if a company offers you a quote, it is always your responsibility to be able to request the VAT to be added to it first off. Companies do this because they need to file their tax returns every quarter and it makes it easier for them to be able to separate their tax from their principle, quote.
